Question about what this means

Ok, so I'm in Houston Texas and I had emailed sprint to check if LTE service or coverage will be available in my area and I received this email back .
So my question is, does this mean even when they turn it on, will I not be able to get LTE on my phone in my home area?

It simply says that LTE is currently not available in your area...and to keep checking their websites for any updates of its availability where you are. In short terms, Sprint sucks where you live.

I agree, 3g sux here and I'm so tempted to give sprint back their galaxy nexus and go back to my old phone. It was for some reason a better connection than what I get now .
How long do u have to return a device?

I'm thinking I may go back to my old phone then, I got this phone on the 22nd and 3g has been horrible on it.
I'm able to get LTE connection near downtown but only there 2 days a week and is not worth it if that's only where I can get it! :-(

[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy SII on AT&T?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but will my T-Mobile Galaxy SII T-989 work on the AT&T network with full service 4G if I unlock my T-989? Thinking about switching providers and wanted to know if my phone will work.

yeah thats what i heard..i dont know about 4g but i think it wil go ful speed 3g for data.. so yeah.

3G yes. 4G as in HSPDA yes, 4G as in LTE no

Actually the T-Mobile GS2 has LTE radio in it. At least anytime you plug it in to the computer it registers as an LTE composite device.

I wondered about 4G LTE. I was in a service setting menu and there was an option to change the band to LTE. Not sure if the phone has the capability but the option in the menu is there.

That doesn't mean anything, you don't have the hardware

confusion then. why is it the first Samsung device to show LTE bands then... if it doesn't actually have the hardware then why do they show up? the t959v gs4g doesn't show them. why this one?

Any specific reason why you want to be stuck on Sprint with those 3G speeds? Unless you live in Texas (only 4G LTE out) I don't know why you'd want to go with Sprint over GSM + Prepaid plan.

Same argument applies to Verizon. But at least they have good service.

You couldn't pay me to go back to Sprint.

I'm not going for that horrible CDMA speeds even if they pay me...bad deal for someone to be stuck on sprint for 2 years waiting for LTE to come. GSM is the way to go or Verizon if network coverage and LTE is important.

I already have a pre2 gsm lol
Plus im still hoping sprint nv will improve everything.......
Nonetheless unlimited cant be beat so far ive used 18gb

Sprint won't be getting better anytime soon. Don't buy a phone for what you think it'll be. Buy a phone for what it is now...
I don't know how you're using 18GB a month, Sprint's speeds are atrociously slow.

Its on 3g and I get about 250KB/s so I have been netflixing/hulu/HBO go/xfinity play/crackle alot here
Honestly enough for me on a phone no need for 2MB/s so there lte here will be only a bonus. Other areas I agree too so slow hopefully lte there will help. Plus unlimited is unlimited no matter what.
Either the tower has been upgraded recently or hardly any sprint users here the latter is impossible since I know so many have sprint here.
Plus been downloading roms like mad

[Q]Signal Strength with T-Mobile?

So I'm switching over from the T-Mobile G2x and I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus from the play store next week, and I wanna know how good is T-Mobile on this phone like the signal strength? Which HSPA+ do we get 21 or 42? Just wanna make sure it works with T-Mobile.

Oh it works and its only 21 but not like bit matters no one comes close and signal strength is crap in my house it struggles to get one bar where the s2 got two or three. But service is good nonetheless

I had a g2x. The nexus gets better service than it did across the board, but my SGS4G got a little better data speeds (its also a 21hspa+ device) whereas the nexus does better on cell service.

H is "4g". It should show 3g until its actually actively transferring data then switch to H.

|Q| No 4G LTE with Sprint

I can't get 4G LTE to connect with my GNEX. When I was on stock I got 4G LTE, since I rooted and started using ROMs I haven't been able to get 4G. I switch the data switch to LTE/CDMA and never get 4G. I tried updating my profile, prl, radio, everything. I get decent 3G speeds but just wanna know the reason why I don't get 4G. Is it the Roms? Or..
BTW I'm in San Antonio, Texas and we do have 4G LTE here.

Well wasn't running it then but am now. Make a nandroid and flash jellybro? Try that see if that works. If so then CNA has an LTE issue.

The lte towers in Texas are wonky as hell. I've had 4g on and off at my apt since July 10th or so but it never stays on. Search the market for an app called Sensorly. It is the most accurate LTE map I've come across. BTW I think sprint users should start getting on their asses about this. The whole reason I upgraded from epic is because they promised it in Dallas etc by the middle of July. But you can tell by lookin at the true coverage area that its just a joke to them.

I thought all at least most of San Antonio would have 4G LTE. Sprint 3G speeds are fine, but every other main carrier has 4G. Sprint's slacking. On the coverage map for the 4G LTE all of San Antonio is highlighted. So untrue. I know it just launched and is still kinda new, but i haven't even gotten a chance to use it or test it.

We're from the same city! I thought I should just trow that in there! Flash back to stock and if it keeps happening just go to a sprint store

I'm saying its not on at all.. but the coverage isn't anywhere near what it should be. At least in the dfdub.
