Just curious I was having a conversation with someone in another thread and he said there was no LTE in NY by Time Square? Any NYorkers have input on this?

Yup not in Times Square, sucks when I go there... Yet where I live in Queens I have the LTE, in Manhattan I think most of the LTE is uptown not downtown by Times Square

Yesterday afternoon, first time ever at work...finally
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] excitedfermion:
Twin Cities

LTE is slowly appearing in the NW suburbs of Minneapolis and other outer suburbs. I find it strange that little Hudson, WI has 4G, while downtown Minneapolis has almost none.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BubZX:
LTE in my area has been great for the last 3 months and all the sudden its like they decided that's to much so let's turn it back. Lost all lTE at my house and its becoming spotty through out my hole area. Six getting used to great down load speeds and then have it yanked away. Voice signal has remained Tue same with much improved signal.

I don't think I'll use Wi-Fi on my phone anymore

Although my Wi-Fi is twice is fast on my laptop I only get like 30mbps on my phone

25mbps isn't much worse
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rajata:
Absolutely! Instead eat Sprint's bandwidth! hahahaha :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
No please don't. The more bandwidth you use now will shorten unlimited data for the future. It's a lot more cost efficient for a cable company to be your ISP than it is for Sprint. Use 4G as much as you'd like, but please try to offload when you can to keep unlimited data a reality.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
Sprint knows the only thing is for that keeps customers is unlimited internet and t mobile is matching into those grounds

And its not like I tethered my computer or anything like that (only when my home internet is down)(one or 2 days every 3 months)

Besides I've been paying a shïtty premium data free for a very long time with no 4g

I think I'm entitled to waste a little of Sprint bandwidth
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BubZX:
Don't get used to your LTE one day it could be snatched away Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] koiulpoi:
What does this have to do with anything? You paid Sprint's pricing for the services rendered. Sprint never guaranteed nor promised 4G coverage, nor was the premium data add-on ever a "4G Tax". You paid it because you had a smartphone.

As your plan almost certainly involves unlimited data, you can use as much as you see prudent. But you are not "entitled" to anything. You pay for a service, and the service is delivered to you.

That being said, please understand that 4G LTE is a shared resource by definition. The 37 Mbps per sector that an LTE site has is shared among everyone on that site. The more people using it, the slower the speeds (it's like how cable works, but worse). So, if you want to "waste" bandwidth, all you're really doing is making it harder for someone with a legitimate need for mobile data to use it. Think of your neighbor! It isn't 37 Mbps to everyone forever!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
The premium data fee used to be a 4g fee at one point

The neighbors I know don't use Sprint

Besides I don't care
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lilman355:
Your being very irrational. Not only are the points made before me very valid, but LTE drains your battery exponentially more than Wi-Fi.

Your being very irrational. Not only are the points made before me very valid, but LTE drains your battery exponentially more than Wi-Fi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Yes, it used to be a 4g fee but became a premium data fee (EvDo is considered premium data.). You'll care when Sprint realizes they're losing money off your stubbornness and remove the unlimited data option. Sprint's rebuilding their entire network so they will be able to afford removing unlimited when they have a network like Verizon (or better.) I paid the 4g fee for ages and barely got any wimax, and yes, I also had to bear with terrible 3g speeds until LTE came live near me. Not only am I impressed with LTE 1900, but they're going to rollout LTE 800 (better coverage) and LTE Advanced on the 2600 MHz using 20mhz channels for speeds up to 90mbps. Their network WILL be very competitive, even with the removal of unlimited data in the near future. If you waste what precious bandwidth we have left, all you do is make is worse for everyone. I'm not asking you to not use 4G at all, I'm just saying to be considerate of the fact that your home ISP should offload your phone traffic when at home, since that's where most of your data is used anyways.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
I beg to differ on the battery drain. My battery doesn't last any longer on WiFi than on LTE. I use LTE almost exclusively, and I've never noticed any battery drain. Most folks here and on other forums seem to agree with my findings.

Anyway, that has nothing to do with the argument, which was about conserving spectrum and bandwidth for other users.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Agree 100% new Sprint LTE is as good on battery as WiFi is. It's no where near the battery drainer 3g and old Wimax 4g was. I run my phone on LTE all day.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] studentjunk:
I say use all the bandwidth you want. And to the others, don't worry about it. If the usage is excessive, Sprint will drop him as a customer. They reserve that right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
Sprint will never get rid of unlimited just soft bank is the number 1 company in japan for unlimited data they will keep the same values of unlimited data. I recommend if you want to tether or if anyone wants to tether they pay for it because it is stealing if not witch is against the law it's only 15$$ a month. If you dont need wifi cut it off and save money by paying sprint 15 for tethering instead of 50-60 for wifi
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lilman355:
I've read many many many studies explaining why Wi-Fi is more battery efficient than LTE. Its a known fact from my understanding of these hard data studies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
It depends. How old are these studies, and which chipset did they use? With SoCs older than our Snapdragons, LTE was a huge battery drain, especially compared to Wifi. However, the Snapdragon S4 chip has a much more efficient LTE radio than previous SoCs, and therefore, less battery drain.

I'm sure Wifi is more battery efficient than LTE, even on our S3s. The question is "How much more efficient is it?" And the answer I've received (from myself and many other S3 users) is, "not noticeably". Considering that LTE is a lot closer to Wifi technologically than it is to EVDO, along with general advances in LTE technology, that shouldn't be a surprise.

Technology "studies" can become invalidated very quickly with the current pace of technological progress, much more so than medical or environmental studies. There have been lots of "studies" that say Android is riddled with malware, even though most folks you'll meet in your life will never experience Android malware, and the ones who do may as well have sought out the malware purposely, because you practically have to try to get infected.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
Qualcomm makes some awesome SoC, while not as fast as Exynos, it has great support and plays very well with radios. I was going to post something similar to yours, but you've beat me to the punch.

EDIT: Older LTE devices had a dedicated modem for LTE, which is exactly the way Wimax was (thus reason being it's a power hog.) With the Qualcomm SoC, the LTE chip is integrated so there's no need to have any extra power going anywhere else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] koiulpoi:
This is completely wrong. The "premium data addon" was never a "4G tax". That's something completely fabricated out of whole cloth from Sprint detractors. That has never, in any point, been true.

What? What does that have to do with anything? So what you're saying is, "only the people I know matter"? That is a childish view at best.

So you're a sociopath. Good for you. Welcome to 4% of the human population. You're hated by the other 96%, who wish you wouldn't abuse the network just because you think you're entitled to. Seriously, just stop and think for a minute. If everyone abused the network, used as much data as possible, it would collapse worse than Sprint's legacy 3G did.

Or, you can continue to act the fool and blast through data because you feel you "deserve it".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
A service is nothing deserved. Just because you pay for something doesn't mean you deserve it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] studentjunk:
I think that statement proves the point. It was a charge for the PHONE, regardless of the network status. It initially was for the 4g capable phones, but now they extended it to all smart phones right?

I think the charge was an excuse to raise prices without really raising the plan prices. However, the cost for unlimited data was still a better option then ATT and verizon, so I continue to stay with sprint.

Sprint has been telling them that they are working on it for the area and should have it by summer. Anyone else hear anything about the St. Louis MO area?

I would love to share my 4G speed with the XDA community, however, Sprint has been neglecting Omaha, Nebraska for years in terms of high speed service. Kansas City is the closest city from here that actually has decent 4G...I can get 4G anywhere downtown. I remember when I purchased my Samsung EPIC a few years ago the SPRINT employees where telling me that Omaha was weeks or maybe even days away from getting 4G. Sprint ended up converting to LTE, so now the timer resets again. BS? Yes. But Sprint is affordable.....and I get a good discount with my state farm insurance. You get what you pay for.

Weak signal but better speeds than the awful 3G I was getting.

On a side note: As soon as they turned on LTE, my wifes phone lost any capability to Send / Recieve Calls and Text on her HTC EVO LTE. Still has data (email, web, etc...) though. Even though My S3 says 4G her's still showned 3G. I tried disabling LTE on her phone but that didn't help.

Crappy part is that we didn't get the insurance when we bought it a few months ago an we're stuck with it for another Year or pay through the nose for another phone. Trying to talk her into the GS3 but she loves HTC's Sense UI.
