If this is on, that might be the reason of your wake locks, it switches en between wifi and cdma/lte to find the "best connection for you"... You can turn it off in settings-mobile network - automatic connections
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EvoN00b:
See, when I bought my OG EVO I was told the extra $10 fee was specifically because the phone was 4G capable. At the time I believe it was Sprints only 4G phone. They've since pushed that fee to all their smart phones and now say it's for "premium data" which is BS.

In my mind, "premium data" would be data downloaded via 4G or LTE, not via the 3G network (which sucks in my area as well, but that's another story).

Another thing that pissed me off with Sprint is my insurance on my OG EVO was like $7/mo. When I bought my EVO LTE, the insurance jumped to $11/mo. I asked the guy why the insurance went up and he said because it's a smart phone. Ok, but so was my OG EVO! :mad:

The only reason I keep Sprint is because my brother put me on his family plan and between that and his corporate discount from Lowes, I pay $60/mo. Well that and because Mikey has the best ROM out there, IMO. ;)

Sorry to go off on a tangent. Just getting fed up with Sprint and their BS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Not to belabor the OT rantings but it's sort of on topic for me because if I could find a way out of my Sprint contract that includes two ELTE's, I'd leave NOW and I'd be developing on another device on another carrier! At lunch today, a guy at the table had just gotten a Samsung Galaxy Note II. Beautiful device. But device aside, I played with it and the first thing I notice was the 4G LTE signal and 4 out of 5 bars. I'm sitting there with Sprint on 3G, no 4G within 50 miles. So I download SpeedTest on his Note II and pressed begin test. 23 Mbps down and 16 Mbps up! Incredible. And that's on AT&T! I tested mine... 0.5 Mbps down and 0.3 Mbps up. Pathetic. And to think those pathetic numbers are actually the highest I see. At home, I only get maybe 0.1 Mbps (100K) up and down.

Re: [ROM] Feb-20 MeanBean v3.07 | 3.16.651.3 | Mods | Batt saver

Well mike I thought of canceling also but looking at s4gru and checking out the different markets mainly Chicago and seeing how great everything is going there gives me hope. I must say though once my contract end date comes close and I feel like sprint is still lacking I'm gone. Sprint is doing great things its just going to take time. Also sprint needs to educate their employees more so that they can stop spreading lies. They've hooked plenty of people that would have bailed on them to stay by lying.

Edit: also I'm in Jacksonville, Florida and its probably one of the slowest markets where work has begun. I've looked at the nv map on s4gru and the Tampa area has a good number of active sites and a ton of in progress sites.

I have spotty 4G all around Indianapolis. That being said it is extremely fast when available. Sprint took over 2 years to get 4G coverage to one of the top 20 markets. I was extremely frustrated and I still am but it is still better than paying $100+ bill just to have throttled 4G everywhere I go. My friends continue to make fun of my for having Sprint but I get the last laugh when they have to turn off their data for the fear that they will go over. It is sort of a hard quarrel to tackle. Pay a lot more money and have your data tiered but have 4G everywhere you go, or pay a lot less and have spotty 4G and unlimited data. That being said, I've been reading some great things coming from the Softbank buyout of Sprint. I have heard of great expansion plans and Softbank finally putting the resources to "respectfully" compete with ATT/Verizon. The insurance has nothing to do with Sprint. All insurance for phones is handled from Asurion. My really good friend is an analyst for Asurion in Nashville and I asked him the same thing when they came at me with the $11 premium with $200 deductible. They have different premiums and deductibles tiers based on their cost for refurbished phones. Most likely the premium and deductible will go down over time as the cost of the device goes down. It is all based on grouped risk assessment and them trying to make a profit. He said it was one of their worst years in history and they still pulled in a $6 billion profit. I think your premiums and deductibles should be individually underwritten meaning you are rewarded for not having claims. I haven't had a claim in over 4 years but I have to contribute the same amount to the pool as some 14 year old who has 2 claims a year (hypothetically speaking). Just kinda my two cents about Asurion. Anyways, I hope you don't leave Mike. I will always own an HTC phone and you make this one so much better.

How do you see the "in progress" sites? I'm trying to get any idea at all when the Sarasota/Bradenton area is going to finally start seeing LTE. They said December last August and never updated it. I told my mother to go with Verizon because of the misinformation but Sprint told her to stick around because "LTE is coming in 2 weeks" so she went with Sprint. That was over a month ago. I'm thinking she made the same mistake I did.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bsober:
I've got to jump in again, sorry. It's plain as day Sprint has their people blatantly lying be it cause they are told to, or believe whatever it is Sprint tells them. I also went to Verizon twice before falling stupid and believing the Sprint rep who Guaranteed 4glte was coming here no later than the end of February. After 3 yrs with the OG EVO with barely acceptable 3g let alone 4g I don't know what I was thinking. I just don't have the finances to drop and switch. When I get over this 2 yrs of contract it's onto Metro PCS. No contract, $55 a month totally unrestricted, even phone call time and a additional $10 a month will sport a 2 gig hot spot. I know I read ATT having a class action lawsuit on their 3g or something at one time and everyone got some sort of reimbursement. Just thoughts.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Just did a search. You will not find Sarasota/Bradenton ANYWHERE on ANY list now! We were listed as one of the first to come online but the last list to show that area was October. They've since dropped it completely and it doesn't show on any of the lists now (first, second, or third round). And they are being very tight lipped about it as I found people asking on the Sprint forums. No answer. If it wouldn't cost me a fortune to get out of the Sprint contract that I just renewed, I'd leave now! It'd probably cost me $500 or more in fees at this point with two phones and a newly renewed contract.

To clarify for others, the number of bars is not indicative of the 4G signal strength.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Oakley707:
Not to be the bearer of bad news, but currently the Sarasota / Bradenton area doesn't have any sites currently in progress or complete with NV upgrades. Having said that, there is a ton of work being done in Tampa right now, including quite a bit of 4G sites that are complete in St. Petersburg as well. If you become a member of the s4gru site and look at the NV Sites Complete thread, you would be able to see a google map layout of the towers that are being worked on our complete for the entire US.

Hope this helps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bsober:
I hear ya. Same here. When I got my phone in October Key West was on the list and Sprint even told me the location of a new tower here which I actually have gone to see and can see my signal comes from it. with netmonitor and open signal, although 3g has been even worse since it's been put in. Now like you I cant even find Key West listed any where for any 4glte or anything else. Today if I put my roaming to sprint only, I spend %80 of the time with no connection. I too figure it would cost me close to $1000 to drop and swap
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kisakuku:
Just use the tried and true method of excessive 3G roaming. Load up a Verizon or a Sprint corporate PRL (56xxx or 16xxx) from this thread with QPST, force roaming mode, turn off WiFi and go to town downloading all versions of MeanBean five times a day. You'll get your warning letter soon and your contract will get dropped in a month or two. Roaming data cap is 300MB/month.

You'd have to become a sponsor by donating a little cash. When I joined I donated like $10 to get access to all the nv maps. If I'm not mistaken your in the Tampa market which I believe covers Sarasota and Bradenton I'm not sure though. The maps shows sites in progress, completed sites, and what signals the towers are broadcasting such as enhanced 3g, lte, and 800 cdma signal.

You may even be in the south west fl market with fort Myers and Naples

Since you only hear bad news all the time about Sprint I think I will share my experience. Sprint in Houston is fcking awesome! Everywhere I go It it seems I get 4g. It's so fast I sometimes feel guilty when I go over 40g a month because I use it to tether sometimes more than I use my wifi with uverse for streaming movies. As on any forum you will only here from people who aren't getting what they expected and of course are going to let it be known. You hardly ever hear from the happy customers and I'm happy as fck. I just wonder how many of us are on these forums that are satisfied with Sprint. It seems not to be many.

Re: [ROM] Feb-20 MeanBean v3.07 | 3.16.651.3 | Mods | Batt saver

Sarasota is part of the South West Florida market, which includes everything between you and Naples. The first few LTE and "in progress" towers have started popping up in that market, but the closest is currently in Palmetto. However, that market is under active deployment currently so I would expect to see many more in progress sites soon.

I was able to pick up an LTE signal in Apollo Beach, but that was across the invisible border between the SW Florida and Tampa markets.

I'll also add that the 4G in the Boston suburbs was amazing once it finally arrived.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

There are two in-progress sites in Key West. The rest of the Miami market has been lighting up a lot of LTE towers recently.

Sprint's Facebook post this morning....

"We’re happy when you’re happy and we are proud to be ranked highest in J.D. Power and Associates 2013 U.S. Full-Service Wireless Purchase Experience Study. We’d like to extend a big thanks to you, our customers!"

My response...

"How did this happen??? I've been lied to by Sprint customer service 7 times in the last 2 yrs! Twice which caused my service to get shutoff and once left me stranded at a job site. I moved to an area last year where according to their map I clearly get service but I don't and they promised multiple times send me an airave then found out it was bs. Finally, after their last lie 2 months ago that got me to drive 450 miles round trip for nothing, upset (and probably alienated) a good friend, I wrote the ceo my experiences with customer service and as soon as my contract expired next month I was gone, they decided to give me an airave and a free evo 4g lte (with a new 2yr contract). I decided to keep them and got a new phone and it's great to not have to walk 2 blocks down the road to make a phone call but guess what, there's no lte in St Louis!! My wimax evo was better!

Sprint sucks. Worse than my credit. And if I didn't have 2 other phones on my plan I'd go pay the $400 deposit with Verizon. What's the point of unlimited data if I can't use it?"

It is frustrating I'll give you that. But you didn't have to go with sprint, you didn't have to get a smart phone. You have options. You didn't have to sign another 2yr contract. If they didn't get there **** together after the 2nd yr I would of dropped them.

Sensorly data is collected by users, most of whom let the app run during their normal commute. That is why you often just see coverage on highways -- that is where the most people running the Sensorly app are. You can assume that if there is signal on the highway that the surrounding areas have signal as well.
