Thinking of getting airwave.. Can it allow me 4g?

Ok just moved into a new apt that has poor 3g signal with 2 bars and was suggested by sprint to get the airwave with my high speed Internet.. Well I was wondering I'm like a mile maybe 2 away from 4g, will it boost me into 4g coverage or just give me good signal within the home??

Doesn't help with 4g, but reception is way better.

The Airave doesn't boost signal, it's a femtocell, which is essentially a mini cell tower. It's 3G only and doesn't broadcast a 4G signal of any kind.

What datajosh said... And with wifi your data travels over that very fast.My two cents: I am so glad I have an Airave. I live in a fairly wooded area and both 3g and 4g (which I can get in town by the way) don't work well at all - for any carrier. I've had sprint up here for about 5 years and was looking at Verizon and ATT but neither could even get the anemic reception on 3g/1g I was getting on Sprint. Got an Airave and my signal is freaking great! I can walk out of my place to my garage about 50yds and still be on my unit. My sister got one because she too was was having issues down in SoCal (and the family has FIVE phones!). Now they can all get super reception. I set up my unit (and my sisters too) to be 'off' my network in a DMZ. Configured my router to allot an IP as DMZ and let the Airave use it as the 'public' IP. That way that traffic doesn't 'mix' with my local net and wifi. Lastly I just went to Amazon and baught mine for like $50.00 U.S. My sister made calls for about a week and finally spoke to the right person(s) and got one free!

I just got the Airave and the only thing I can see improved on is the reception of my calls (I get 5 bars instead of 2)
4g is the same
and 3g is still slow as heck..
also it has a build in GPS.. to tell you where you are..
It has about a 300 foot radius so if you go past that point you most likely will jump to another tower.
and when making and getting calls you get 3 beeps letting you know you are on the Airave. also dialing *99 will give you a message to let you know you are on the service.

If I am not mistaken the air rave is for call quality. 4g is purely data. Why wouldn't you just use wifi?I would think 4g would be slower than wifi anyhow. Feel free to call BS on this.

it only help with cell service.
you just get the air wave. ( they should offer it for free..)
and get on wifi network.

Have one myself. Great for calls and SMS/MMS but the data speeds are maybe half the speed of my DSL. I just use wifi for anything but calls, makes sense to me. Sprint had recently changed something with their towers out here and we were left with absolutely no service on my property. Sprints corporate numbers, including the CEO's, are not hard to find. I called and tore them a new one, I wasn't letting them get off easy with this one, being a sprint customer for yeeeaaarrrss. Long story short I got a free air rave for life out of it which I think was fair of them to do.
Just a note, if you have low bandwidth and you make calls while downloading stuff or just eating the bandwidth in general, you will have stupid delays in you conversations. Its just awkward.

Well maybe their speeds vary, but the whole point is if you have an air rave you most likely have wifi so why not just use that for data? The air rave is completely dependant on the broadband connection, its not like a range extender for sprint tower signal. I'm sure the phones modem has a lot to do with it as well.

YES & No!
If you have poor/fair service in your home, then just search xda forums for info on how to get it, or just PM me and I'll give you the info. I have very poor service in my home with sprint, that I just moved to. I and my family would all have to walk outside in the yard, to get a signal that was less likely to drop in the middle of the call. Even then, we only got 1-2 bars at most. In my house, we either didn't get a signal at all or it would drop out if we moved around.
I called the Sprint Retention line, and explained to them my issues with the service in my new home. I told her that I had searched the Sprint coverage map, and my area was listed with "Fair" service. She had me hold for just a few seconds to look up my address on their coverage map as well. Then she came back and explained the Airwave to me. I had never mentioned an airwave to this point.
She said that she had to check my area's coverage before offering it, because they've received a ton of request from people lately for this device, and many of them were in "excellent" coverage areas, and were simply calling because they heard they could get it for free. Just to have it I guess. Anyways, if you are in a poor-fair coverage area, and have real issues with coverage/dropped calls. Yes, they will send one for free and then not charge a dime. You just have to agree that it's their property and is to be returned at end of contract/service-termination.

I have one in my home as well. Works great. it doesnt support 4g but any sprint device will work with it. I get about 2-3 megs down with it running 3g.

I have a airave but get nowhere near the range some of you claim. Is there a way to boost it's range? I'm lucky to get 50 feet. Sorry if this is a hijack.

Actually, my Airave sucks. Somebody else in my building has one that is locked to their phone number, and my ET4G always get confused and connects to that one. It basically keeps me from making any phone calls in my house. I have to go all the way into the street to call.
So, please be kind and don't lock down your airave to your account.
Also, even when it does work, I still get **** data speeds.

Hows the radios working for ya??????

Ok, ready to pull the trigger on a Note 2 but having the ET4G and the issues with reception, Im a little hesitant on Sammy phones now.. I love my Epic T but low up and download speeds kill me. Im missing calls and its not showing up in my call log and texts messages too. I have friends who have the GS3 and some love it and some hate it. Two friends can sit side by side with their SG3 and have totally different reception, I dont get it. I hear the radio and antenna are the same from the GS3 but wondering if the size of the antenna in the Note 2 has changed and if so, is that change enough to help reception issues?
Any input from those who just got one would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't seen lte, but 3g is just as good as you can get on Sprint

I too have the epic touch, a d then the s3.
Although I cannot comment on note 2,because I don't have it yet, the s3's radio is much better than epic touch.
Instant gps lock and no LOS

I too have the E4G and have just been patiently waiting....I almost jumped on the SIII, but thought I would wait. I think GN2 is what I have been waiting for.
The missed calls (never ringing), daily lock ups and reboots are driving me crazy!

I picked mine up this morning, I'm very happy with reception so far, seeing a lot of improvement over my old epic 4g, and the download speeds seem a tad inproved in my commonly trodden areas

I cannot hold a steady 3g data connection. Network mode is set to cdma/lte/evdo and it keep bouncing on and off for 3g. just came from the Evo lte and that phone at the same spot can hold a 3g eHDRP or Evdo just fine. Going to see if sprint can reprovision this phone for me. If this is a normal thing with samsung phone then I have no choice but to return it.

Update:
Phone is now connecting better after switiching perferred roaming from automatic to sprint only. All my previous phone have no problem when set to automatic roaming. Well at least now my data is not dropping like it was. My real test by putting it on sprint only (home on samsung's phone) is to see if it will connect to LTE where's LTE is available. I will find out after work when I'm on my way home since I get no LTE connection here at work.

Anyone coming from the galaxy s3 miss the simultaneous voice and data? I can't believe this phone can't do it unless connected to lte.

Dont know about s3 but wifi definitely better than my daughter soon to be evo lte.

What are my options? If there are any?

OK long story short
Was happy with epic touch then got s3 as its S3
But its reception is poor, at home loads if time I am losing the signals , just a freakin grey triangle. No 4g here
And 3g is poor very poor inside any place . It switches to 1x and just sits there for so long.
I feel it just cant keep latched on to the network strong enough.
I have tried all radios and like 5 ROMs even the latest MA4 combo too.
Not much of help.
Can anyone guide me what more I can do if at all there is anything left. Otherwise I am gonna have to move back to some other phone.
Thanks

sprint offers microcells that connect to your home wireless network it boosts all your signals by using the internet. call them and ask them about it. it's like a little box you plug into a router and boosts your phone's reception.

The guy above me is talking about an Airave. Sprint sends them out for free if you have a poor signal in your house.
The grey triangle you are seeing means you are roaming. A while ago I was stuck roaming and fixed my problem by using the code below.
Also try dialing, ##72786#. Once you dial it it will reactivate your phone, reboot, update PRL, update profile, and reboot. It fixes a lot of network problems.
One more thing, my mom has a S II and when we are in the same building her signal jumps up and down from full bars to little bars, but my S III stays in the middle constantly.

Thanks for the help .
airvave isn't an option as I tend to lose signals at various confined spaces.
I.just need something which I can do or tweak with my phone like.some settings or even some hardware change like adding another antenna inside .
Any good and strong radio ?

If its really bad in your home, call up sprint / go to your local office and complain, and they'll probably give you an airave, which is basically just a 3G router they give you for in home.

Seems the signal isn't good on the S4, flashed the base band ,an d the problem still exists...

I have the same issue. I'm in the SF Bay Area and even though TMobile's site has where I live and work as dark green (excellent 4g) I am lucky to get even one bar. Half the time I get network errors. Anyone else with TMobile experience anything like this? Any chance it's something that'll get resolved before my 30 day return period ends?

do any of you have other tmobile phones to compare signals with? if so, do that and if there are major differences talk to a tmobile store about getting a replacement.
these might be isolated incidents, because the majority of people are getting fully functional units

my data speeds are *top notch*.
you are either in an area thats out of tmobiles footprint or have a defective unit.
best bet would be to wait till tmobile actually gets the GS4 on display in the store.
when they do, go to your nearest tmob, and do a speedtest.net comparison with the demo model, and yours. if they are similar, then your part of the bay is legacy; if there is a big difference; 3,4 5 etc megabit difference; your unit may be worth exchanging for a new unit.

What part of SF are you experiencing this? My GF lives by the ballpark & she won't switch with me if she gets ****ty service.

I have excellent reception (bars) on my S4.
Way better than my Note II.

I let you know. When I get my phone next week. I do a speedtest and a screenshot of the phone signal in the settings menu.

Still no signal inside my workplace. Will do more tests. It does seem the signal is more stable, but it's only been a couple days.
Also, 4G LTE flashed for a couple seconds at my house. I live in the D.C metro area. Nice.

I have the HTC One in the Phoenix market. LTE is difficult to find more than a few bars on. 4G HSPA+ has been very easy to get full bars on.
I'm somewhat convinced T-Mobile is still working on building out in even LTE and re-farmed markets.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk HD

Its funny how T-Mobile improves their network and yet many years later I still don't have service in places where I had no service maybe 5-6 years ago. And on top of this I noticed even more dead spots. I think T-Mobile should be working on that along with building penatration.....I would much rather have 3G everywhere then LTE almost nowhere.
Lately it became very frustrating since my wife has no service at work, i have no service at work, and i recently moved to different location and still no service....and God forbid I loose my wife in the mall, I have zero chances of finding her because no T-Mobile service inside.

Just got my S4 today and did not realize theres LTE where I work (fremont) which I never saw on my note 2. Even went out to lunch and was still getting LTE the next street over. So just to test I'm now back on my note 2 and it is not picking up LTE at my work. That tells me the radio on the s4 is much better.

yea its something with the S4's phone/modem. I get bars and shows signal strength of 3 to 4 bars and i can make call but no internet in certain areas all around Los Angeles County/Orange County/Las Vegas/NYC. To test it i had my buddy go with me with his LG L9 and my buddy with his LG L9 phone would work fine on the calls and data/internet meanwhile my S4 would only get calls but no data as if it was a deadspot. i would have to go around like 1/4 or so before it would work again. its really strange not to mention annoying. I noticed this started happening to me after i upgraded from MDB to the MDL baseband and after i unlocked the phone using the "debug service menu". i wish i knew someone else with a stock TMO S4 to test my findings out more. I also cant wait for more tmo S4 modems. ive been thinking of ODINing back to stock MDB to test my theory, but i have just been lazy.

i think it was a TMO LTE tower upgrade issues. after doing the Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Network mode > and switching between the WCDMA and GSM one or the other now will work. better to have some internet than no internet, weird how the S4 just wont switch over to the working GSM internet if WCDMA fails....i guess when they coded it they figured if u have bars it "should work in theory" but they were wrong ...personally i think this should be considered a "bug"

I thought I was the only one. I found that if i keep my diztronic tpu case on while in my pocket it destroys all signal for some reason. I take it off and its fine.

I further tested my theory and went without my case all day. It didnt appear to do anything different at all. I am on CM10.1, I think I might go back to stock for awhile to see if it changes the fluctuating signal issue.

Just curious on how everyones signal is and which baseband they are on?
I'm on M919UVUAMDL and I have seen up to 15% of no signal while my S3 had 0 signal loss in a regular day.

"Death Grip"?

Hey guys, Not sure if this is normal or not, but in my house I get 1 bar signal with the phone bare and laying on the table. If I put my case on it (Spigen Slim Armor View) it loses that one bar. (without case I get 101-DBm, with the case it jumps to 109-DBm or so. I thought it was the case at first but than I remembered the "death grip" so I put my hands on both sides of the phone while it was laying on the table and it lost the bar from my hands covering the sides.
The case i have can be taken apart into three pieces. I stripped it down to JUST the TPU part and put that on the phone, and it still loses it just with the TPU part of the case on it. Originally I figured I'd just get a different case to use at home where I have low signal but it seems I can't even use a regular TPU case without it dropping the signal...
Anyone else in low services area's experiencing the same?
(Note: I have a T-mobile S4, but its unlocked and running on AT&T's network. Not sure if that matters but I figured since the phone itself is T-mobile I'd post here)

Do you get 4g lte or just 4G/hspa?

seeming you only get 1 bar in your house, i would assume any little thing would disrupt your 1 par, since its so weak in the first place. This is the reason why i love wifi calling so much because if i didnt have it, id be in the same boat as you

Yeah Wifi calling is cool but I don't make many phone calls anyway, the only problem is the 1 bar of signal is enough to receive text messages. If I have my case on and it loses that 1 bar, I get text messages about 45 minutes after they're sent to me. Which is really annoying since I hate leaving my phone bare in order to get my texts on time... Guess that's the price I pay from going to AT&T from Verizon network.
Their coverage map shows "Good" at my address (Which it is, OUTSIDE) but inside any building its garbage.

Yes...its forced to LTE GSM. But once your out of a LTE area you need to dial *#2263# again and choose "automatic". I will then go 4g

I see, however inside my house I don't get LTE (well it goes in and out, but the speeds are like 1mb down and 0.50 up when it does connect) So should I continue to keep it on automatic at home? (Data doesn't matter though, I run on Wifi at home, its just signal strength that I need increased so if the LTE/GSM setting is best for better reception I'll keep it on that at home anyway.
