Very cool, I still remember the old GSM vs. CDMA days where this was always an advantage to GSM. I'll have to read up on SVDO, it's funny this is no where advertised!

This is apparently the coverage for sprint LTE when they finish it. Pretty interesting, hopefully its soon.
My area is covered but won't be active for almost 2 yrs plenty of time foe more awesome phones

Yeah I think that's the main problem, having to wait so long for LTE.

What are the lines supposed to represent?
I think they are supposed to represent different markets or something. Definitely not states
I won't be moving to Montana any time soon.

Hopefully they add lte coverage to the Seattle area soon. I am happy with my epic 4g touch for now but am looking forward to future sprint phones and better coverage.

Is there a way to know when a given market is on schedule to have LTE?

I love this map.
What's even more encouraging is that you have to keep in mind, this is only LTE coverage at the end of Network Vision. The end of Network Vision does not signal the end of LTE expansion; remember that LTE was added into NV, and is a broader network overhaul than just adding LTE. Sprint will continue to expand afterwards, possibly including repurposing the WiMax spectrum.

I'm guessing the lines represent major highways seeing that sprint tends to follow them as far as towers go
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Hell yea big ups to 4G & LTE being strong on the highways in Ohio lol

The lines are market areas.
I think those lines represent service regions.
Lol to the whole thread everyone guessing about the lines.

So I currently own both e4gt and gs3 on Sprint and I'm tempted to make the jump to Metro since they have lte in my area and Sprint won't have it till Q2 of next year ; I'm hesitated because I love flashing roms and there isn't a specific forum for the device. Could someone give me some advice on it? TIA :beer:

Since the phone is really a sprint device I'd assume the sprint roms would work on a flashed gs3. If 4G works after the phone is flashed I'd love to know because sprint's data speeds are despicable

I wouldn't flash it over to Metro since I wouldn't have 4g lte. I'd sell both sg2&sg3 and buy the Metro gs3. I'm just wondering what ROM I could flash.

Oh... I didn't know metro was going to be carrying it. If the hardware is the same as the us variants (dual core 1.5 and 2 gigs ram) I would try one of those. The first hurdle is getting root access

Do you guys think that the Nexus 4 will come available to sprint or metro pcs?
I understand that the different frequencies of the carriers may be different but I wasn't sure if that was even a correct idea.
Thoughts?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
No, MPCS won't bother putting out a Smartphone of that caliber for the price they would sell it for without supporting LTE. Sprint probably won't either unless they end up releasing an LTE version in the future.

Google didn't want to deal with CDMA networks to begin with, sprint and Verizon proofed they aren't ready to handle a nexus phone! In a few years, once sprint or Verizon change there ways, Google might consider making another CDMA nexus.

Looks like AT&T's LTE. But can an AT&T Note 2 work on T-Mobile's 42mbps data connection? T-Mobile doesn't have LTE, yet.

In other words you're wondering if it's like the skyrocket, which the radio supported LTE but also had dual channel HSPA (21x2, hence your 42Mbps). All you had to do was switch modems...
Would be interesting to actually know... On way to a wake, don't feel like looking it up now...

Yes this. T989 will never run lte no matter what software is on the phone. We don't have the hardware for it. And the lte software package is there in general, for phones that have it.
And we don't have it.
