Just notice in my area my phone turn 4G so I'm walking into a store (Costco) and as soon as I walk in the 4G turns into 3G. Latter I'm purposely going in another store about a mile down and same thing happens upon entering the store 4G disappears and 3G shows on my phone.
In both cases after exiting the stores the 4G appears again. My understanding was that 4G has deep penetration through buildings and this raise my confidence how this gonna work after all.

The 3G and 4G (LTE) are on the same 1900 band. So where you get 3G, you will have 4G. But as they only have so many towers with 4G right now, your probably not hitting the same tower as the 3G. As soon as they get it all installed, you won't have an issue. Even less when they bring on the 800.

Sprints 4G lte is on 1900mhz frequency not much different than Sprint wimax which was on 2500mhz. The higher the frequency the worse the building penetration gets.
Verizon lte is on 800 or 700mhz.... They get better building penetration.... Hopefully Sprint will use their iden network for 4G which is on 800mhz I think..... But I don't think that is their plan.

1900 is a lot better than the 2500 from Clear, Sprint has a lot more towers to makeup for it. 2014 is when they start the 800 Lte. Oh, and on the same towers. All part of the same Network Vision updates. They just have to finish iden first. 2500, 1900, 800 in one tower.

LTE is NOT 4G. They all call it that, but it's more like 3.9G. LTE-Advanced will be 4G when it is finalized and deployed on carrier networks next year.

I personally don't notice much difference by leaving LTE on versus turning it off. I usually get 2 days of use on a full charge. My results may be skewed a bit cause the lte signal is weak in my area, so my phone automatically switched over to 3G.

Give me a break man. I know what 4G is constituted by but with the carriers pushing out their crap (HSPA+ as 4G) calling LTE 4G is a happy medium.
And I was just trying to figure what the hell that guy was talking about when he said 4G. LTE, WiMax, Real 4G, dumb AT&T/T-Mo 4G?
If I understand correctly. The s4 processor has the lte integrated in such a way that is a bit more battery efficient than a snapdragon s3 device with lte.
This might be better in the Verizon form as they have LTE (we do too but in 5cities).

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.

I wish they didnt reframe the 3g 4g spectrum. Physics says lower frequency deeper coverage. Hence why CMDA has great coverage on their 850 MHZ bands. But i received a letter from T-Mobile about the MetroPCS merger. And T-Mobile is starting a "Bring your own device" thing. After reading this it makes sense why they are reframming the spectrum.

New York City seems to be blanketed.
I live in NYC and I plugged my sim card in my iPhone 4 and I still only get edge, but I'm right next to the radius of a cell tower. So I'm technically not covered. Do I really have to be inside the radius? Because there is really not a lot of places in NYC covered when you zoomed in since the radius of the towers are so small.

I just arrived in NYC with an international galaxy s3, went to T-mobile for a prepaid, they told me that "3g" is not gonna work, so I selected the "2$/day" plan for GSM data.
If I change to 3$ per day, for 4/3G do you recon it will work, at some places, even though my device is not a "TMOB" ?
I mean is it both an issue of band frequency AND a device-brand ? or is it just a frequency thing?

Just a frequency thing.
They ALWAYS tell you that non-T-mobile phones won't work. (Either the 1900mhz refarm hasn't been completed, or they haven't been updated on it) (they said the same thing about my One X (tegra 3)) try www.airportal.de to see where the refarming is taking place. Your phone WILL get HSPA in those areas if you are on the correct plan. (Try changing it online)

I am getting H+ on my area but its not constant, and if you go 1km far thn you will only gets 2G. Basically to getting full coverage it will take 1 more yr i guess.

LTE is very signal strength dependent. EvDo RevA's (Sprint's 3G) speeds don't deteriorate unless it reaches a very low signal threshold. Next time you connect to the LTE site at Publix, open up your debugging menu and screenshot the LTE engineering screen and post it here.
With 6mbps, you have a rather low (-110dBm to -115 dBm signal strength). If your signal strength is high, then you should experience better speeds.

Sprint's in a position where they simply don't have the spectrum to deploy anything greater than a 5x5mhz carrier per market. This means LTE speeds will max out at about 38mbps, and even this is under extremely favorable conditions.
But worry not for Clearwire alone has more spectrum than Verizon does, and Clearwire, starting mid-2013 will be deploying LTE advanced on a 20x20mhz carrier! This means speeds will be up to 90mbps. Hang in there because even with Sprint's LTE maxing out at 38mbps, it's still very fast and the best part...unlimited.

Can I use another 4G LTE provider on the Galaxy Note II from Sprint?
I have Boost Mobile and I had a Galaxy S2 with Clear.com 4G WiMax. I now can only get 3G, and as you ALL know the 3G speed has lowered quite a bit. (200~400k vs 700~900k 3 years ago)
Another alternative I guess would be to get a Hotspot, but who wants to carry around a phone AND a hotspot when you can have them both on the phone?
I believe you can use this device on any network that is actually using Sprint towers, like MetroPCS (?) or Boost?
There are threads somewhere for instructions on flashing this.

Ok, so maybe I do need to do some research. LTE is *not* like WiMax? It doesn't have separate "device" from the actual voice/text/3G radio?
LTE uses the same radio as the cellphone and 3G?

Ok, my fault. I assumed you knew these things.

right there, see. Metro actually uses Sprint towers (ie, Sprint services) ... So... Same frequency.

Thats why this galaxy note 2 is my LAST Cdma phone. For SURE getting GsM next theres plenty of carriers with 4G for it. Cdma sucks because I cant get no 4G. Before this phone had the oneX and yea 4G I miss.

Are u a retard? Hmm my guess im right on spot with that one. Sprint can suck it. GSM is better and if you don't agree? Take a ticket and take a seat next to the idiots that are waiting for me to give a Fuk.

I give facts and argument you insult sprint... well of course you are right. who has ever heard of the "can suck it" argument ever loosing. that's how we explained to Hitler and the Japanese emperor that he had to surrender in WW2 "Mr Hitler can suck it" -pres trueman, "since I can suck it I have ordered my forces to surrender and suggested to the Japanese to do the same"-hitler (translated to English)
if you can't give facts to support your claim you can go head and get an iPhone on a gsm network since you are using the same arguments apple uses to ensnare its sheep -i mean- customers
either that or you are an at&t rep or fanboy trying to weakarm customers away from sprint. why you aren't targeting your biggest competitor Verizon is beyond me but take that stuff to T-Mobile customers they'll eat that up like they eat their "unlimited" throttled data
one bad experience in one city with one small period of data speed downturn does not a bad carrier make
oh and mods don't blame chuko (or me) for starting arguments. arguments are healthy and help shape perception

In all fairness, Sprint in Denver does suck... 3g speeds right now. 200 kbps and no lte. There are a few lte towers popping up. but not in the metro area. Person in the cube next to me has AT&T and hspa+ is 15mbps and lte 40mbps. Faster than the cable provider here!

Tmobile has 4G LTE in almost all of New York with some decent coverage in Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia and they're just starting.. So they actually do have real 4G lol
