Isn't that for developers only for now?

Nope . Someone released the IPSW File for iOS 7 & I updated to it Free .

Not close enough to determine but looks like ATT or Verizon. Look here for Alcatel-Lucent setups... http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3915-how-to-spot-sprint-panels-and-rrus-alcatel-lucent-style/

I would've taken better pictures but as soon as I snapped this one my phone died . I'm on iOS 7 beta so my battery goes just the slightest bit faster . Next time im in that area i'll retake some pictures.

Nope.

 

Sent from my HTC ONE

So which providers panels are those

Spotted some LTE panels on W 125th Street

Sprint's?

Fast LTE speeds in Jamaica Queens , right around 179th . Speeds peaked at 15mbps the leveled out at like 12mbps

Good to see LTE beginning to expand into my neck of the woods, still not in my immediate area but it's getting close, 3G still sucks though.

3G upgrades is prob the last thing were going to see . LTE is first : 3G is launched in clusters .

A little OT. But just for the reference, I just recently ordered the ibattz battery for the iPhone 5 and that will probably help with the LTE usage for iPhones. It uses the galaxy s3 battery.

Galaxy Battery's aren't the best tho. All my friends who have Galaxy's their phones are dead with in the hour .

There's obviously something there as it would not have been lit up if there wasn't.

What he said .

iOS 7 FINALLY . Can't wait

Apple.com/ios/ios7/

Prefer the numbers as seen here in this previous post...

 

Confirmed

 

 

 

How'd you get ur phone to say LTE , shouldn't it say 4G .

Haven't discovered anything new recently. However, I have seen Sensorly have some light pink coverage near Elmont alongside the Cross Island Parkway.

Thats nothing . I check everytime I pass through there . Signal is to weak to connect to if there is even any signal at all .

Good News

My iPhone 5 does the same. It's even worse when i have 1 bar and suddenly it connects to optimum wifi and its a weak signal there as well. Absolutely no connectivity and a battery draining. Very very annoying!!!

Turn off LTE & Wifi then , keeping on the wifi all day even when ur not connected drains battery more than you know , don't have Wifi on unless u have a good stable connection . The same goes LTE . My iPhone 5 when im connected to LTE will generally stay in the 3-5 bar range its only when i get really far away from the tower that it drops

definitely not true in queens. they are lagging well behind Bronx and Brooklyn

I don't get it , it seems as though Sprint has been moving a lot slower than before. When they first started the roll out of LTE in the NYC Market they seemed to be moving at a wayyy faster rate than now .

Yeah, love the pings, ive seen as low as 28!!

Over LTE ? The lowest i've gotten is in the 55-65 range

No hack can speed up Sprint's 3G. 3200kbps is the full on theoretical max data rate over the channel.

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks that pretty much answers it .

Nice to hear you base your facts on pure opinions.

I can bet you it's a big fat negative...placebo affect. Plus what's a speedtest going to tell you with all the variables in place? You'd have to do this in a controlled environment.

..... Anyways back to what I had asked before.

Thanks , Im gonna wait for someone to post a speedtest so I can see if the hack is worth my time .

Can someone post a speedtest , I want to see if this is worth me doing .

Idk if this is true but if it is I need to get that hacked carrier update .

I forgot how terrible Sprint data service can be since LTE has been deployed in NYC.

I was in Miami over the memorial day weekend and my phone was useless while not connected to wifi.

Google maps had a hard time getting navigation data. All i can say is hang in there guys better days must come.

 

I did some Sensorly mapping whenever I noticed I had LTE

Wait Miami has bad service ? On Sensorly Miami is pretty purple . I figured service in FL was good hmm .

I swear I wish I could b#$@h slap the next person who complains that the number isn't high enough.

Woahh derr (Big Sean Voice) lml 10 is just enough took me a while to figure it out but I get it now.

This is disappointing :'(

Just recorded my highest 3g speed test of 2.45 down with a ping of 126 in tribeca. Nice

3G thats amazing , I don't even get half that .
