Not really sure if this should go here but I'm getting a Galaxy SIII soon. Today I received a "no CDMA network could be reached" message on my Moto Photon so I call my buddy that works at Sprint and he confirmed that tower upgrades are live in our area and we will probably have a rough time of it until complete.
I'm pretty excited about this and can't wait till I have the SIII in my hands. Stupid WiMax lol.

Yeah I'm in virginia beach, near redmill, and my signal bars look like a pole dancer. All they do is go up and down lol. Plus my speeds are slower but that's worth it for LTE in my house

Awesome news. Can't wait to see this in action.
which data plan will it available? i mean like i have the unlimited data plan. is that mean i will have unlimited LTE data plan?
Tmo also just announced an LTE variant of the GS3. It is getting serious. So much for guys saying "no LTE until 2014"...

The obvious question is when will the Note2 update with the new modem roll out? Hopefully in 3 weeks when LTE goes live in Vegas? I smell a road trip!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
The question is... what if they take months just to deliver a new modem...
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Tmonews just mentioned a software update for the note 2. Didn't mention any specifics though. I'd bet it will coincide with the initial markets go-live.
This is starting to play out just like the installation techs said it would when they installed the new equipment at a local tmo tower.

I'm right there with you! Considering our city is one of the biggest in the country we should be getting it not too long after release. We are one of the first receiving upgrades like that. The network reform for example...

North Jersey also
Outside of where I work there were guys working on a tower. I asked them who were they worked for.... They told me Tmobile and they were putting in LTE ...that was in Elizabeth NJ... he said by the 13th it would be working.
Sure hope the they hurry up. I'm still on 2G here at work and it's infuriating.
I assume since they were gonna use the 2G frequencies for LTE I might finally be able to pull at least 3G here?
---------
G1(CM7)--> G2(CM9)--> Note 2 T889 stock (root + multiwindow mod)
NYC should be soon also. Towers are more than likely already wired for LTE. Of course my speeds now are pretty great. No complaints.
I am SO TEMPTED to switch back to T-Mobile for the Note 2 and their upcoming LTE network.
1900mhz & AWS 3G bands
LTE capability
save loads of $$$$
TRULY unlimited HSPA/LTE data
Fast data speeds during phone calls
Hate AT&T, but love how their network is mature. My friend's T-Mobile phone likes to occasionally switch to E.
Here's some news. Talked to a tech today for awhile resolving an account issue. During our conversation I asked about deployment plans. Here is the top five things they said they're doing:
1. Rolling out LTE upgrades to current 4g towers. Which may cause temporary service loss of data.
2. Upgrading all towers along the interstate system in their current footprint to hspa and to LTE in larger cities with 4g already deployed.
3. LTE will roll out in large cities with 4g first that have completed upgrades.
4. Metropcs lte towers may be given greenlight for us to roam on until the switchover (which is contrary to previous statements)
5. Acquire more 1900mhz and AWS spectrum for more buildouts of hspa and LTE.
They're also looking at possibly doing unlimited data with tether soon. But no word on pricing or availability.

Im here at the one of the tmobile store in california. A regional manager is here today at the store. I ask him if our note 2 will need any update to use the new lte services when it out. He said no! He told me there actually installing lte towers right now in la and oc county! No wonder my service is been off and on today! Just did a speedtest and wow its getting faster and faster! !!

Same here in San Jose CA. I assumed its due to towers being upgraded. Download speeds have gone down but upload has gone up slightly. I was a bit concerned but I figured its due to some upgrades their doing. Hope my download speeds picks back up.

If the phone can support Band 4 LTE (which I do not think AT&T uses for their LTE), it can support it.
These threads seem silly, because what tech and care know is far from the truth. Also to whoever thinks that you don't need a update for lte, you are most certainly wrong. We just got LTE installed on the towers on our building and it is not working on my note. But other notes in the building we have for testing have LTE up and running just fine. Unfortunately these notes were sent already put together, so whether it was a update or a sim card is hard to tell because I haven't got hands on time alone with them yet. Another possible solution is a provision, through one of tmobiles systems for troubleshooting I have seen lte settings for a phone line specifically but wouldn't have the information to properly set it up.

Have experienced crap downloads but in South Phoenix where I live im 5 miles away from the nearest TMO advertised tower (and coming from cricket, its still fast in my mind) but this past few weeks I have experienced better speeds but more intiguing is my connectivity has gone haywire at times resulting in excessive batter consumption (periodically)... hoping this is LTE configs at work but its all a waiting game at this point

Just wanted to let you guys know i was getting LTE on Leonard by the corner of Seward and Leonard, all the way up to Target/Khol's on Alpine! Works great indoors and out, in Grand Rapids, MI (i have also heard of people getting it in Byron Center)
And here I am, stuck in Ann Arbor. Oh well.

Congratulations to my northern brethren. It's coming on down in Battle Creek too.

There is a small and I'm mean SMALL areas in Flint, MI where 4G pops on for me, I went to the Sprint store right by that area and the rep told me that they are installing for the area but are not announcing it since it isn't supposed to be live yet till later this year, but that it was working in some areas....

A friend that lives in Ann Arbor says they're working on the towers right now and that's why you when u stream music it cuts out, they want 4g up by spring apparently he heard through his contact at Sprint which was just a guy at a Sprint store.

A friend of mine that works for BestBuy mobile was told by his Sprint rep that their goal was to have most of the larger cities along the 94 corridor up by the end of q1. I would think that A2 falls in that category.

Oh man LTE in GR? Any idea if Holland is going to be coming up soon?
Not yet, but my source told me it was supposed to come on around the same time as Battle Creek. So far there is only 1 tower up here, so I think it's just in the testing phase right now.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, they are testing it now, to be officially "launched" they need 2/3 of the city covered, so when they actually do launch Grand Rapids, it'll be a lot more than just Alpine, and at this point, they could turn it off any day since it's not official

So I just flashed over to Wicked v4 this morning and noticed the LTE icon. At first I thought it was just another fluke, showing LTE instead of 4G or H+. I only had 1 bar vs my normal 4 which is normal if I'm using the fast APN instead of epc in a non LTE area (none of western MA is on LTE). Yet, low and behold, when I switched my network to GSM/WCDMA only the icon changed to 4G. "What the....", I thought to myself, so I changed back to LTE and the icon reappeared. Alright then time to check status in Settings. HOLY SH#$! LTE!
THANK YOU T-MOBILE!
For reference my normal speeds were 11ish down and 2 up.
Easy there killer. I know your excited but there is an Lte thread right below yours. Calm your Tits and have a wonderful morning

If you don't care, don't comment. If no one cares the thread will die and that'll be the end of it.
My excitement is warranted and my thread is certainly as worthy as others. With Boston just getting on the official LTE track, having it in a "rural" area of mountains and tobacco fields and dairy farms kinda stands out in my opinion. And apparently the opinion of tmonews.com as well.
