    Ok... I was able to successfully open the folder that the 4g icon is in using 7zip and I changed the picture name as mentioned before, but now how do I take this systemui file folder (not zipped) and reinstall it onto my phone? Thanks, Joe

    Just kinda curious: will this systemui.apk process work with cyanogenmod too? I'm thinking about playing around with it and I'm wondering if I can flash the same file I used with stock to change the icons...
  3. Synovialbasher
    Hmmm... Wasn't in global mode... I'll keep my eyes peeled for the LTE icon to appear...

    Just noticed today that my phone wasn't connecting to eHRPD in my area. A little farther away it found it again, but I find it kind of weird that eHRPD would just shut down in an area it was working in before... Maybe work is going on?

    Good find! Finally somewhere a little closer...

    Virtualbot, how did you do it? Does anyone have a guide or tutorial?
  7. Synovialbasher
    Oh... Yes. My mind was thinking in programming mode where an apostrophe is considered unacceptable lol. If someone could post a link to how to decompile the systemui.apk and change it, then re-apply it that would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to try anything without a set of instructions, or if Ascertion could do it for me I'd really appreciate it.
  8. Synovialbasher
    Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking!!! Can you guide me through the process of giving you the SystemUI.apk and then re-applying it? I've never modified anything like that and I have some idea on probably how to do it, but I don't want to screw it up...

    Hi everyone, I've been using this site for a while now, and LTE is starting to pop up around me (still haven't connected to it personally yet though). I have a rooted galaxy s3, and from what I've heard, when you connect to LTE, the only sort of notification you get is that the 3G changes to the number 4G in the notifications bar. Since I don't often look there (and glancing up there I probably wouldn't catch sight of it unless all of a sudden my data was going a heck of a lot faster), I'm wondering if there is a way to change what it shows in the status bar as 4G. Maybe something obvious like YOUR_ON_4G or something like that? Or if that's too long I'd rather have it just say 4G LTE so it'll be a little different? Does anyone know how to do this? Right now I'm running stock but I'm considering cyanogenmod for all its themes. Thanks everyone, Joe

    I don't know if this is the best forum to post my question, and I'd be happy to ask it where it should be if someone directs me to where that would be... Anyways, I live in a fair to poor signal area (most 1x bars I get is about 3. Usually I get less than 1). The tower that I think I get my service from isn't in a very rural area, and I have a feeling that it will be upgraded to lte when it comes to my town (even though I can get up to 1 Mbps from a certain room upstairs right now with 3G). When lte comes, do you think my signal strength will improve at all, or if I take my phone to the parts of my house with three bars, will I get faster speeds possibly above 5mbps? Thanks everyone, Joe

    Maybe someone from a different area can answer my question, but when a new market begins to come online, does it spread from the original LTE site (Howell) or does it start popping up in various other locations in the market? Just curious if there's a chance it can pop up somewhere a bit closer to me.
  12. Synovialbasher
    Thanks. I hope the surrounding area will pop up quickly. While I'm at it, thanks to everyone mapping this information on sensorly and for the inside sources at sprint who give us this data! I know I really appreciate it and I'm sure there are many others like me who feel the same. Keep up the great work!
  13. Synovialbasher
    Quick question to those mapping the area: does the lte extend all the way to Brighton? From the look of the map on sensorly it seems that the person traveling SE on grand river avenue just seemed to turn it off. I have relatives in Brighton and 3G service there is pretty good (but 4g would be better). Haven't been out there recently so I'm hoping the next time I go I'll be able to use lte there.

    I'm referring to the emails sprint has personally sent to me when I asked about their 4g rollout. In their own words, "Sprint is dedicated to keeping its customers fully informed in regards to network vision improvements and the 4g LTE rollout". I'm sorry I wasn't clearer by mentioning the email in my previous post.
  15. Synovialbasher
    If you zoom out (until you can see multiple states) that lte dot becomes much bigger ;-) When will sprint finally admit that work is being done here? And when they do will sites start popping up much faster? So much for them being truthful about their rollout plans...
  16. Synovialbasher
    Guess I should have written it clearer. Finally 4g has arrived in Michigan, someone put it on sensorly please!. I guess in hindsight I'm suggesting the wrong thing.
  17. Synovialbasher
    Wooooo hooooooo!!! Finally! Put it on sensorly! I wonder how fast it'll spread...
  18. Synovialbasher
    I started following it a while ago and haven't had any problems, then again I was using my tablet.
  19. Synovialbasher
    I am so enthusiastic for the first site to come online! What a great way to start the new year! A nice purple LTE dot on sensorly might call for a trip out just to let my s3 see the light of LTE for the first time. Hopefully my area (Romeo) won't be far behind! Thanks to everyone on this site for all your help, and happy new year!

    This is perfect considering I sometimes have trouble with sensory.com when using my ipad. I'll start using this version if it continues to cooperate. Thanks a ton!
  21. Synovialbasher
    Same to me. I was actually able to peck 2 Mbps (which is a new high for me) with my average being at about 1.7 Mbps a couple of days ago. Streaming pandora is actually a reasonable thing again. I have a feeling NV must be going on and we'll see lte come soon (or customers are leaving sprint and therefore freeing up the airwaves) but I have a feeling it's NV :-) Ill keep my eye on towers as I pass and trust me I'll be one of the first to put lte on sensorly once I get it. Merry Christmas everyone and I hope by next Christmas I'll be posting via 4g!

    Just to be clear that I am not breaking the posting rules, the text that follows is based on fact, not my personal opinion. Unauthorized (aka illegal) tethering requires rooting and uses your phones unlimited data plan, thus sending all its data through the same port that your phone usually would if you were using it for Internet. Authorized tethering by sprint uses a different port so they can track how much you use of it and does not require rooting. The penalty for illegal tethering is typically cancellation of the account. Now for a question: Would I be able to (without breaking any laws) use an app to project my phone's screen onto my computer and from there to my tv? When 4g gets out here my idea was to stream Netflix on the phone, but just show it elsewhere (for the obvious reason that my home Internet could be better). I don't see it as tethering technically, but I'd like the community's opinion
  23. Synovialbasher
    I really hope you're right. On a side note I'd like to say that I've noticed quite a 3G speed boost lately. A couple of days ago I tried a speed test and was able to pull 1.3 Mbps (on 3G ehrpd of course) :-) . I really hope NV is making progress around here. How long does it take lte to turn on after 3G nv improvements start?
  24. Synovialbasher
    Mistake on my part. Now that you mention it that seems to make a lot more sense. Sorry about the rant; I was very disappointed upon not seeing this area on sprints latest release of cities. This forum is so helpful to me the last thing I'd like is to be kicked off.

    I too am waiting for the east Michigan market. I just wanted to say that this weekend while parking somewhere in the metro Detroit area I saw a Samsung wireless coverage truck (and that was how it was labeled). Shockingly he parked right next to me. Was running late so I didn't have time to ask about it. Does anyone know if this is a definite sign of lte work done in my area?
