Understatement of the century. Welcome to Sprint.
you mean this is something we don't already know?
Coming from the GS2, the modem in this thing is incredible. Reception is 10 fold, as are speeds. This is in Orange County, California.

My favorite one:
Me: Hi Sprint. I get 50kbps at my house and at work what's up with your network?!
Sprint: Sir, you use 1.5gb of data a month which is quite on the heavy side so I don't believe you can be finding issue with our network.
For you guys who had the 4G, you're lucky. I am only about 35 miles from NYC and I never got the 4G. I've got (3) 4G-capable phones but I never got to use 'em.
Maybe I'll get the LTE:fingers-crossed:
Sprint is still reasonably priced for me.
well I appreciate all the response i got and now I realize im not the only one suffering from poor data speeds. The salesman that sold me my GS lll told me after I purchased it that Sprints 3G is the worst of all the US carriers and im like "now you tell me" he says "dont worry youll be fine after they turn on LTE next year......

Never seen any difference whatsoever coming from an Evo. I live 5.2 miles from the nearest tower, and snag about the exact same quality signal on every device I've owned in the last 3 years.
Every location is different. Here in the Denver Boulder area, most times I get between 500 1500 kb downloads based on speedtest.
I been with sprint almost ten years and this is really breaking news to me. WOW!

I read that even when t-mobile jumps on the lte band wagon in 2013, that our gs3 phones will not be able to take advantage of the new speeds (what a drag). I'm not sure if this is really the case, but I posted the link to the article below.
http://www.galaxys3newsblog.com/t-mobiles-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-miss-lte-yet-another-dissappointment/
One thing you have to remember you always want to buy a phone that works right now for you not a phone that would work better in the future, I'm happy with hspa+ and by the time I get lte from tmobile I might have another phone anyways so I think I'm cool with that, it bee discuss in another topic too
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
This is true. I just thought that I would post this for those who didn't have the benefit of reading the other post. For those that don't change their phones often and intend on keeping the gs3 for some time, I thought that this was good information to help them make a well informed purchase. I hope this helped anyone that didn't know and wants to buy a gs3.
My HSPA+ speeds are consistanly faster than my friends Verizon LTE. Plus HSPA+ uses dramatically less battery. Heres my speeds in Detroit.

Same here in San Diego. Verizon was fast out of the gate but they heavily over-subscribed their network and now they are lame. AT&T is the crazy fast at the moment but I expect them to be in the same boat as Verizon this time next year.

It does have LTE, just like the T-989 did, its just disabled by default. You can access this setting by opening the dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#*, and selecting radio type.

I heard that LTE radios had been a complete disaster because of excessive battery drain.
Is this true?
Yep, ever since yesterday when I noticed that my radio was switching between 3g and 4g, the battery sucked, literally. I work from 9 to 6 and normally, my battery would last until I get home, around 30-40%. As you can see on the ss, I came home with under 10%. Is it because I need to update my radio? I'm still on LEN.
This just proves that sprints service is far better then any other service out there, LTE proved to be faster in speeds then At&t, T-Mobiles and comes pretty close to verizons speeds. This is only on its testing stages. just wait til their is full coverage, people just need to be patient instead of complaining and switching because they cant be patient lolz.

Yes this is true now but it will slow down a bunch in the future the more people the get LTE phones. Hopefully they have the bandwitch to keep up. We should see speeds of 6-8 Mbps when said and done.

Maybe so, but i seriously doubt sprints network bandwidth would be alot slower then wimax itself, i dont think sprint is gonna let that happen, have minimum speed for everyone of 4-6mbps, that would really piss alot of people off and make em switch after what they got put throught. They would loose alot of customers that are expecting more then the wimax predecessor.

Keep in mind that now that Sprint if owned by Softbank, they have more money to play with so I would expect things to be accelerated. This is just a guess tho.

Sprint just recently announced that the markets that they have been working on have been going ahead of schedule. Also that they have deligated more money and work units to the LTE deployment, along with another company is being dispatched to help move things along. Ever since the SoftBank merger
To the OP yes it is a great site in regards to the sprint coverage they usually have updates posted sometimes days before the other sites have something up about new cities being announced etc.
And after speaking with a Sprint employee who goes to the shows/releases for the products the time that he said our city is scheduled to start is exactly on par with the s4gru website.:good:

For those that have no lte and are not on any list I'd start saving money now. Give Sprint 3-4 months, if still no lte or announcements then I say switch. First check with tmobile in your area. If it's in your area I recommend them. Even at their slowest their hsdpa+ hits at 2-4mbps.
I myself am giving Sprint till June. If by then the lte I'm seeing now doesn't improve I'm moving to tmo. In my town tmo gets around 6mbps and if they ever upgrade to lte here then I'm golden. It's all a matter of waiting now

Just called 611 asked for tech support on the automated system. When you get the tech you will have to do a new apn but not to worry if you tether it wont affect it. They will do a number of other trouble shoot things. Just tell them its been happening to you for a couple weeks. If they say call us back tell them no. Ask to open up a service ticket. All is well in my home now. Let me know if this helps. And you can also call customer care first and tell them that im not happy with my data speed connection and see if they give you credit like they did to me. Be nice of course. Good luck

You guys aren't alone, but I think this is a tower issue not a phone issue. Possibly a new modem might fix this.
Why do I say that?
Well at home, by San Francisco, I get 15-23 Mbps download speeds, and now I'm in Las Vegas for business, and am only getting 100-500 Kbps.
I called and let them know of the issue, and they were going to do a field ticket where they actually take out the phone and test it on that tower to see what is going on.
I think anyone else having this issue should do the same. My guess is it has something to do with the refarming of the 1900 Mhz band.

This deal gives sprint about 5 times more lte bandwidth. ... Just kind of a formality since sprint owns a majority of it already but it would make it easier to roll out lte and they would answer to no one else ... cox and a couple other companies are owners of clear also

This deal won't fall through. Sprint is trying to low ball Clearwire. Sprint offered to buy Clearwire out for $2.90 a share but the stock is already over that amount @ $3.25

Hopefully this move will speed up LTE rollout plans.

It's coming. They complete more and more here in Dallas every week. I now maintain LTE for my entire commute. I streamed football via slingbox the entire ride home today without interruption. ..something I have never accomplished on 3g...and rarely accomplish on my ATT Note 1
