Not accepted 800mhz. Took a speedtest on 1x 800. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2

I went over to the site broadcasting the 1x800mhz and took some pics Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2

I got this yesterday in Union City. It was only up for a couple hours and then the whole tower went offline later in the evening.

1. Samsung VGA1000 2. Samsung A940 3. Samsung A900 4. Samsung A920 (San Francisco Transit NFC trials) 5. Samsung Instinct 6. Palm Pre 7. Palm Pre 2 with Sprint Frankenpre mod 8. Samsung Galaxy Nexus 9. LG Optimus G (present)

I think there is a tower southwest of the dot on your map that sprint has been testing for a couple weeks. I've seen LTE come on in that neighborhood and disappear a few hours later.

Yes, my friend with a Galaxy Nexus has a much easier time handing off between eHRPD to LTE than without. CM10.1 had eHRPD disabled by default for a long time up until recently.

So what's your opinion on the LG?

Awesome! I have some friends around there that would really like that. Does that tower cover Union Landing?

I have some anecdotal evidence that the Optimus G is a slightly better CDMA performer than a S3, and significantly better than a GNex. Back to the ingress example, I've been playing a lot with friends, and whenever we go a specific spot in my neighborhood, my LG is able to hold onto a very weak EVDO signal and the game is playable. However my friends with the S3's and the especially the GNex, the game is simply unplayable.

This is the post I was referring to: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2971-sowhich-sprint-phone-has-the-best-rf-quality/page__view__findpost__p__90705

The Optimus G includes something called Qualcomm EcoMode. It actually increases battery life and helps deal with the temperature when playing games like Ingress. It's a great phone and this Jellybean update fixes the only issues I had with it. The primary reason I upgraded this phone is because of a spreadsheet that compares it's transmit power recorded by the FCC compared to other phones. The Galaxy Nexus was driving me crazy with its horrible CDMA performance.

It's out now. You need a locked bootloader and stock rom ZV9 to upgrade to ZVB. I am running it now and it works great. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167756 I noticed it fixes the Ingress drop items crash, and the signal bars now report your CDMA 1x signal now all the time, rather than your LTE signal when you are in 4G coverage.

So does that mean for all of the data users on the carrier, 144kbps is available? Or could four users each get 144k?

Does sprint's 800MHz SMR support CDMA/1xA Data or is it just voice only?

YES!

Well that's not good. Is there a particular holdup in this market?

I am finally Level 4. I've been playing this game every evening for just under a week now. My neighborhood has about 11 portals within a square mile, however my Galaxy Nexus keeps dropping its 3G for several minutes at a time. Really sucks. Last night I got together with some random people in the Jack London district of Oakland California. Had a solid LTE signal the entire time. Playing this game with pre-NV 3G vs LTE is like night and day. Goes from being a pretty frustrating experience to a responsive fun game. I really can't wait for San Francisco to get LTE. One thing to remember though. Wear layers and gloves when you're playing this game at night in the winter. It got down to 27F before I called it quits and went home.

So based on your speadsheet, the LG Optimus G has the strongest transmitter?

So I don't think there was ever a real answer to the OP's question and now I'm curious too. So...which Sprint phone has the best RF quality? Samsung GS3?

This is driving me crazy! I've been playing Ingress and it is horribly frustrating when the data drops out. Do you know of any fix or workaround?

It's happening now: http://s4gru.com/ind...dio-technology/ http://www.fiercebro...n-20/2012-10-03 Fast forward to about 5:30:

They've had small cells for a while but managing the interference was always a problem. With LTE R10 they can partition the timeslots so that users on Picocells don't interfere with users on the Macro network, even if they are within range.

I have been doing a bit of research lately on LTE Advanced and it seems the main goal is for it to manage interference between pico cells and the macro network. Aggregating carriers is nice to improve peak speeds, but the timeslot management part of LTE advanced means faster data rates for all users.

Just recently found out you can search online for San Francisco building permits on this site: http://dbiweb.sfgov....ApplicantSearch If you type in Sprint as the applicant name and hit the "Building Permits" button, you can actually see many of the sites sprint will be upgrading and their current permitting status. Most of the permits I've seen are "Issued," however there are still a few that are being reviewed by the city. This is the sort of description of the work a typical permit will have: REMOVE 3 (E) SPRINT PANEL ANTENNAS. INSTALLED 3 NEW PANEL ANTENNAS INSIDE CHURCH STEEPLE. INSTALL 6 RRUS AT ANTENNAS. REPLACE 2 EQUIPMENT CABINETS WITH 2 NEW EQUIPMENT CABINETS INSIDE EQUIPMENT ROOM IN BASEMENT
