Has anyone been noticing any strange network types on your toro+ I usually get EVDO REV A:8 but lately it has been jumping between EVDO REV A:6, EVDO REV 0:5, and 1xRTT:7 never seen all these different types before I just noticed it when I started using Jelly Bean. Speeds are slower also unless I'm by the Sprint store then I would see like 2mb/s but anywhere else more like .5

Absolutely

I think its just sprint messing around with their antennas.
If you don't think so maybe nandroid backup and wipe and reflash jelly bean see if it persists.
Or try a different kernel?

Since I see that you are seeing the same things I think it might be because its an LTE phone because my Photon doesn't display those networks I see I have data upgrades, and voice upgrades planned and some they say have been completed maybe it could be Network Vision. Normally if I had no bars call would not go thru neither would text but now it seems they will with no bars. Speed is slower since I'm on the outskirts of where towers are but better connectivity I can't explain it

My experience with sprint is that they have really screwy connectivity. I love their phones.. except the 4s which I hated and was useless. And I love their 'unlimited' data. But right now their going through a tough time. And that's cause I've been paying for 4g for almost two years and I have not gotten a single drop of wimax when I had the epic and the epic touch. Nor a drop of lte now that I have a toroplus.

Yea I know what you mean I'm in the same boat I'm looking for a gsm phone right now to leave sprint I wanna stick it out but the promise of 4g after 2 years is a bit much to handle seeing how I never got it now I just wanna go prepaid

Well I hear an unlocked nexus is cheap
But also my step dad bought a moto renegade and was promised push to talk... never happened
He bought an evo 3d... now its discontinued...
He's also been paying for phantom 4g.. he's pissed haha he's gonna see if he can "talk" with sprint to see if he can get a GS3...
I think that's pretty hilarious

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.

Honestly, my speeds with big red weren't really that far off. I've very seldom gotten over 30 down and 10 up w Verizon. They're about the same as far as the speeds I've seen. Its the coverage that's scketchy.

Carrier pigeon is faster than Sprint 3g, so it doesn't take much.

i'm trying to locate a good place to buy Sprint Nexus off-contract, mint-condition used or new to use on Sprint network without signing/extending contact. i currently have gt-i9250 on t-mobile, while my friend has htc evo on sprint, i wanna switch him over to nexus experience without singing another 2 year contract.
Anyone knows a good place in Boston/Mass/NH or online where i can buy SPH-L700?!
Thank you in advance
and sorry for not creating separate thread.
Not to be a downer, but when I got the TBolt (First Verizon 4G Lte phone) my speeds were constantly 35+ Mbps everywhere I went. Now that everyone and their mother has a 4G phone I am lucky to get about 10 - 15Mbps in most places. Saturation is a killer.
Well I was sitting at work and bam, 4g came on, way to go sprint!!!! (Shentel for my area) So glad I hung in there, screw the haters!!!!

I really wish there was like a toggle or 4g switch like it was with wimax, this luck of the draw 4g kills me, but my main thing is I hope tethering comes back, sprint really blocked it this time

Does it work with EasyTether?
Yeah its really spotty and on/off for me. Weird observation though... I get 4g with my note in places I don't with my Galaxy Nexus.
Darn them, talked to a shentel rep (people that control sprint towers where I am) and these lte siting are just the test sites -_- but hey, at least full lte will be out at the end of the year for me at least, but hey for test speed of anywhere from, 8-20mb down?! I can't complain, but hey, I saw the same speeds with my wimax 4g, so to each his own

With Note 2 i get LTE everywhere in Dallas Ft. Worth. Even traveling to other cities through tolls where development is not really there. Just alot of trees. I even get LTE in most people homes. Nexus never had this strong of a signal and if LTE switched the phone would freeze. I can honestly say this is a good phone.

I am also seeing very little battery drain from 4G. The radios in this phone are amazing (especially compared to the Nexus).
I havent gotten my note yet but I was also really concern on how would lte and the battery would play. Are some of you guys noticing big drains or small drains with lte on?

Depends, since a lot of areas are tests sites, lte does drop on and off for me, but battery still lasts all day, I say Samsung got it right with the battery, hope other manufacturers follow suit

He should root and test different radios. Is his provider tmobile and do your folks live in the sticks? If so that is your problem. Think of att and tmobile as am and FM radio. AM is generally poor quality with a large area of coverage vs. FM with a short radius but excellent quality.

My Verizon upgrade is due in February and though I love my galaxy nexus the reception is terrible constantly in 3g. I had an s3 for about 6 months always had 4g but just missed my nexus to much and switched back despite the constant data drops..
Which phones on Verizon have the best/descent/worst antenna?

go to settings>about phone>baseband version= it should say for the vzw variant "I515.10 V.FK01 / I515.FK02" <-if you dont have that version,go to this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890585 ) and get the latest radios,since your still getting drops and bad speeds you might need to upgrade your radios.
i have the latest radios, though my question is redundant... i have had a nexus for 2 years always keeping up with the latest radios.
Same problem here. It's bad enough that in switching to T-Mobile as son as I can. I'm done with Verizon's sub par network and crap phone selection. I love my gnex but paying for 4g and rarely getting 4g to work is just not worth staying with them. I had the same problem on my Moto Bionic. I think their network is just receiving way to much traffic for it to handle and they don't have enough towers or networking to deal with it. Sorry, just my rant I had to get out.
