this is from yesterday. but the other article this piece linked to said it was not weather related and thats all sprint would say........ curious cat is curious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
Yep, rel 9 on rollout, as is tmo. That's why I said "rel10 ready" - ie deployed with rel10 upgrade in mind.

Either way, its not that I'm bullish on sprint, they've got a longtime history of poor decisions behind them. Nextel, sticking with iden for so long, choosing wimax, etc. However their recent decisions, from their push for the iphone to their network vision upgrades to their LTE transition show that they're deciding to truly do what it takes to right the ship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] williecat316:
yea, horrible may be to nice of a word for those speeds. I had to look twice to make sure the needle had moved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Haha, it was worse last night
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linuxpir8:
sprint said ill be in outage till noon now....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Where are getting this info? I'd like to look at it please.

Grats! I still remember how ungodly WiMAX was.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
U and I both! I never got a 4g connection on my last phone at all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linuxpir8:
from calling them up lol. they said its a voice and data upgrade in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Oh ok, I'll have to call and ask if the same thing is going on here in Houston
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linuxpir8:
im in north east houston, outside humble/atascocita in huffman.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Oh ok, well I'm sure its the whole Houston area, maybe when they get it together, they'd have lte up and running lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linuxpir8:
ive been back up since 1pm, network is worse than it was before. i get stronger signals somewhat for a longer time than before, but then they drop out pretty bad. also, throughput is way worse than before. below is a screencap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Wow, those speeds suck but I will say that your speeds are still a lot better than mine lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linuxpir8:
lmao. wasnt houston one of the fist for wimax rollout? why does it still suck. im hoping lte increases coverage, because then i wont have to go over the lake bridge to get 4g at chickfila.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Lmfao, I've never had 4g on my old phone unless I was in the medical center at work . I got this galaxy nexus thinking it would be a few weeks for lte and I've just about had it with this phone lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ecko210:
Noticed Had 4g yesterday on se side of San Antonio... was blazing fast .. didn't run speed test though to get actual results. . Out of town now will test tonight when I get back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Keep us posted! Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobdelt:
The difference is that wimax was done by clear. Not sprint. Sprint was already upgrading every single tower for their network vision plan, and adding LTE on top of that is easy for them. They are literally going to every tower.

Not will LTE provide the same coverage as their 3g, or less, I dont know. I think they also plan to turn off some towers so I assume greater coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ecko210:
These are the speeds I got and were I was when I connected right now on the road ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linuxpir8:
nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Henrock11:
Nice speeds!! I'd be happy with a consistent 10mbps. Hopefully the NYC area will get lte soon.

Thats what I use to get a year ago now is just too slow painfully slow sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
Here's a 3g speed test I just took
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chyrio:
Idk guys I really really want lte in Colorado here. I'm attempting to be patient I think when sprint finally hits the switch everybody will have it. I mean I never had wimax I did at a single target and the sprint store with my evo shift thats it I'm expecting a huge improvement. But you get what you pay for. I mean I would be paying ALOT more than I do now with verizon. But Verizon gets full bars lte here were I live
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
I feel u man, but if they hit the switch and I still don't have it I will be paying the etf and bounce to another carrier!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chyrio:
Ya data is important to me but for the price I pay with my work discount (Costco) I can wait the extra 5 seconds for a page to load I mean Verizon is pricey and I would loose unlimited data that's not worth it. I mean u used 2.7 gigs of data since I got my nexus ha ha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a454nova:
Maps of live LTE sites and all sites that sprint is upgrading is available at www.s4gru.com.

They even have date for when you tower will get LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linuxpir8:
under what section
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chyrio:
I can't seem to figure out. So the pictures with the grey dots on Colorado?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asteven23:
Any luck in houston yet I work for Comcast so the Katy and cinco ranch area still is a no go for lte including the woodlands willowbrook and greens point all no LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dan1431:
I was in the Galleria earlier today and my colleague had LTE outside the J.W. Marriott, but lost it a few feet into the lobby.

I asked one of the hotel employees who I know uses SPRINT and he said his GNex has been displaying 4G on/off for a few days now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latinoboi30:
I was driving out 290 going towards the outlets and got a very faint 4g connection around 290 and gessner but just as quick as it came, it was gone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] semitry:
Verizon isn't really that much more expensive than sprint. At one point in time it was but after the 10 dollar premium, the discount adjustments and removing the yearly upgrades, Sprint is like 10 dollars cheaper for me on a family plan of 2 than Verizon. And that 10 dollars isn't worth the .003mbs downloads or no service.

I switched to Verizon a few days ago, and am never going back to Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
Go Spurs Go :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastert33:
Let's see how long it takes you to use up your data in month...That's still something sprint has over Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a454nova:
So proud that he with Red now. Lol. After NV is built (and its getting done rather quick) with the 800 and truly unlimited plans. There will be no better service. Sprint is slow and kinda suck on service in some areas. Won't anymore!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think you are looking a little far down the road don't ya think. They first need to roll out their current LTE before switching to 800mhz. Plus by the time Sprint has a useable network again, do you think they will still be offering unlimited data? They kind of have to now otherwise why would anyone in their right mind choose Sprint.

By the time Sprint has a useable LTE network and if they still decide to offer unlimited data, by that time anyone in contract now with Verizon will be completing it by then and can decide then if they want to switch to Sprint. Why would someone downgrade to a non existent LTE network after being on Verizon who has the #1 LTE network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Hope you are right. Sprint has always been good at the talk...not so much with the walk...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a454nova:
I don't have the brain function to be able to quote verbatim but most of what I know can be read at s4gru. You have to be a sponsor to get map and dates but they are 100% accurate in all their info.

1. They don't have to wait for LTE to start the 800. Its already being install and waits for the full shutdown of iden. They are already doing that. NV is 100% by the end of 2014. Every Tower, Every City, will have LTE and service 1900 and 800. And 2.5 via clear that we will be using too. 2014 Wimax goes dark. 2. Hasse stated per his words. Sprint will stay truly unlimited. If anyone would like an example of what service is like in the NV world. DFW is starting to hop and it not due until End of June.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Don't be surprised if Sprint follows the crowd once LTE is in place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I am happy that Sprint is unlimited, but to proclaim they will stay truly unlimited is a fool's errand. Folks did that with Verizon too at one point. You don't actually know for sure, and neither does the website.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a454nova:
That's true. And it could very well happen. But not for a while, that their thing now. Until they get to a level like the other two, they will stay unlimited. The CTO Stephen Bye said that once iden is gone. The cost of unlimited data is reasonable. Wants we get the 2.5 to support heavy areas. Won't be an issue. These are factors the big red don't get. To be able to hand off between the three bands is going to be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Eventually Sprint will need to do something to make money. How long can a company go and and continue to lose millions and millions of dollars.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] captblaze:
as long as venture capitalists and share holders have no issue with it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lord-Anubis:
Advised by Account Services at Sprint that LA-Metro should be up and running by June 26th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] semitry:
I could not have used up 2GBs on sprint's network. At 0.003mbs speeds and all those disconnects, I'd have to be surfing on my phone non stop for the whole month.

And I have the unlimited lte plan on verizon so it'll be a while before I use up all that data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
Well, their actions have turned around their previously sinking ship. Sprint has now been adding customers for a number of quarters, and a lot of the financial losses they're taking on are due to them being extremely aggressive in trying to win back customers. The Sprint iPhone. Sprint Network Vision upgrades. Taking down their iDEN network to refarm for CDMA2000 and LTE rollout. Rolling out LTE in their PCS spectrum. That costs money, and it makes Sprint look like they're in worse financial shape than they are.

Although Sprint will now be running 4 distinct networks (CDMA2000, iDEN, WiMax, LTE), they are on a good track. They'll eventually be able to focus on just LTE and CDMA2000, and they'll benefit from the cost advantages there. Combine that with their extensive spectrum holdings, and a continuing rise in their customer numbers, and their financial promise is actually pretty good. In other words, through their actions they can (if they choose to) keep unlimited data for many more years while still turning a profit.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mick3444:
This is a bit random but......why does sprint, and for that matter, at&t choose to do most of their firsr lte rollouts in Texas and some other relatively small cities. Why don't they focus on places like the SF bay area, new York, or la? Any ideas anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Texas is the size of a small country. Seems a logical place to get done first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] genericmessage:
Ever been to Texas? Its huge! Dallas metro has 6.3 million people. Austin has 4.2 million. Those two cities have a larger population (combined) than some states have.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linuxpir8:
we have more people, new towers are easy to build, old towers are easy to repair. texas is flat, unlike those other places and we have less regulations/disturbances. i would guess its easier to test a new setup in a flat, populated area, than a congested, populated, hilly and urban area with lots of rf and other signal killers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
That's what I thought I want them to put LTE in las Vegas tho I like sprint phones but if by Q1 2013 I don't have LTE I'm moving my 5 lines to another carrier
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lord-Anubis:
I'm inclined to believe them, it's 5/22, and so far none of the towers in the valley or up the 5 have been upgraded, I'm still getting 800 pings and 100kbps speed. unless they have a plan to pop them all in the next 9 days, i'll stick to an employee's info from a current schedule she looked up rather than from a press release put out in february, or a rumor based map.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irev210:
Ok, your own fault :)

Enjoy getting inaccurate info from Sprint employees.

LA already has network vision sites installed (a bunch of them) but it's going to take some time for them to finish the entire market. You will see LTE before the entire market is completed, but honestly, read s4gru.com - spend a few hours poking around on the info that's there... considering they update how many sites are upgraded to network vision, where they are located, backhaul, site name, etc... you can be darn sure that it's accurate and comprehensive.

Sadly, Sprint front-line employees have a horrible track record of handing out very inaccurate info.

As of about may 15th there is around 50 network vision sites in the LA market. Considering there is over 1000 sprint cell sites in LA market, it is impossible for them to finish in a month.

Will LTE be available on the completed network vision sites? Yes. Will the entire market be done? No.

Again, I urge you to take the time and look at the maps on s4gru.com - if you are looking for accurate info, that's the place to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lord-Anubis:
Yeah, I don't feel like paying for entry into a forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irev210:
There is lots of free info available...

All I am saying is, given the history of accurate (and detailed) information found on that site vs. the inaccurate (not detailed) info you get from people who work at sprint... it's a no brainer on which one to believe.

Especially when you are being told something so outlandish - it's impossible to accomplish.

Sprint can't roll out 1000 sites in a month - it's just not possible.

You will probably see 150 sites (maybe a bit more, 200 maybe?) or so live in LA market which you will be able to get LTE from by the end of June. LTE speeds will be very good, I think you will be pleased with the results.

I've seen too many people get burned from inaccurate info provided by over-eager sprint employees. It's annoying.

The guy in the dailytech article said the "Scratches filled in" I don't think that is technically what happened. I think whatever residue/remnant from the ground finally got cleaned out of the scratches and what was left was a scratched, blue surface with nothing stuck in the scratch to cause contrast and draw your eye to it.

So many of you adopters of CM9/AOKP had the unfortunate discovery that Samsung Apps/Kies Air do not work on AOKP/CM9 roms and only work on official samsung roms. I do not claim ownership of this mod and I do not want any credit for it. All credit goes to masiullah who discovered it on the Samsung Note. I can confirm it works for AOKP build 35.2 for the Samsung Epic. I cannot comment on other CM9-like roms, but I assume they work too.

Just an educated guess, but I seriously doubt you would be able to run it smoothly on the galaxy player, as mc3 pushes it, and Nova 3 looks alot more demanding than even that. It doesn't really run on the iPod touch 4g, though, so it would be nice to rub it in their faces :p

I highly doubt that it will run smoothly on the player, the newer are probably optimized for Tegra 3, Adreo 22x, and Mali 400. I was playing Zenonia 4 and that lags on Gingerbread, so I would assume that Nova 3 would be even more laggier than that.

Google clocked it to 307MHz in the GN(according to posters over there), I would love to have 307MHz or 384MHz if possible...I know ICS will really benefit since they made everything HW accelerated. And I suspect that over players will need newer drivers, because I doubt the Nexus S & i9k use the same drivers currently.
