Sprint has to turn on 3G NV upgrades in clusters. All accepted 3G sites are not live on the NV side and may still be on legacy. When the entire cluster is ready, they will bring up 3G and do E911 testing.

 

It's possible you are still on legacy 3G service.

Approximately how fast is NV 3g compared to legacy?

Just mapped about 180 4g points on Eastlake. I was actually pretty impressed at the amount of coverage we have so far.

For some reason I thought you had an iPhone. But if you have the GS3, it doesn't ever show you your LTE signal strength in bars. Even if you have the 4G icon showing. More into about that here: http://s4gru.com/ind...ignal-strength/

Wow, all this time I thought those bars meant 3g/4g strength; thanks for the info. Guess I'll just have to wait and hope for the best...

Not necessarily. Only if the site you're getting the signal from is your closest site. Which most likely it is not. Are you having 1-2 bars indoors or outdoors?

I have 1-2 bars indoors and outdoors (mostly indoors) with speeds of about 600kb/s. If you go down the street, however, you get up to 2 mbps with the same amount of bars.

If I have 1-2 bars in the area where I Iive does that mean 4g will be just as weak?

does anyone know when they will start to light up towers?

Any updates on the SD market?
