I think the tower on 50th and Fowler behind Perkins will come on soon. I've seen my phone pick up 4G for a few seconds at a time, but not long enough to get a signal reading. LTE discovery is not able to regain the signal Its also been flipping between eHRPD and Rev A this morning.

...Sites Complete = 16%;Anticipated LTE Launch= Spring 2013
...Original Scheduled Completion = March 2013; Current Production Rate Completion = November 2013
all the antennas are in the top plastic half. i know the lte modem is built into the Qualcomm chipset in the same die as the processor. But i dont know if theres a separate amplifier component.
Hopefully soon it wont matter as much as we'll get the dead/fringe spots filled in.
14dbm is a huge difference. Between the Evo LTE and S3 i usually see ~8dbm side by side. just to give you an idea, 8 dbm is about how much you loose by going indoors or the difference between betting 1-3 mpbs and 10-12mbps
whats the fastest speed we've see in the area so far? Seems like most people are getting 12-15 mbps with highs in the 18-19mbps range. My gf got 30mbps on her S3, i'm just wondering wether that tower has better backhaul or if its been optimized?
just fyi sensorly shows dbm under the more details screen. also the CDMA Field Test app shows db in app and in the status bar. Looking at your speeds, i would guess you had about 118-120 dbm signal, which is bare minimum
I know that, but apparently ehrpd is running through the legacy back haul with a different IP until a while cluster get turned on. See post on previous page
I was at dale Mabry and northdale inside a restaurant and had great lte signal.
I have an evo lte: 12mbps down 6 mbps up.signal: 96db
My gf with an S3 : 28mbps down 8 mbps up signal: 92db
It's pretty crazy how the S3 can get choose better speeds with only a 4db signal difference
i thought that once EHRPD was set that all 3g traffic was routed through the lte backhaul and had the same IP address etc. So what you are saying that even if you are connected with EHRPD that its going through the old 3g backhaul? so if im connected to a tower and loose LTE i'll switch to EHRP and the old backhaul and have a different IP address right? once they switch the whole cluster then they'll share the same backbone right?
i've been getting speeds of ~1-1.5 mbps hopefully once they switch the backhauls we can get 2-3mpbs on 3g. that would be great!!
Sorry I meant fletcher and 56th. That tower would cover my apartment really well :-) I'm just hoping that when the Perkins towers lights up I'm able to pick it up on fletcher and 56th since it'll probably be a while until I that one gets lte
