Database Develop

Where do you live and how's the coverage?

Att and tmo are the 2 popular carriers for n4. So it may help others to decide, if we can create a database for actual coverage.
1. Where do you live?
2. Who's your carrier?
3. How's the coverage?

I'm on T-Mobile. I've been using them for about 4 years here in Denver. I know it's not the case across the country but here in Colorado T-Mobile consistently gets ranked in the top 2 in terms of coverage (& customer service for that matter).
1. Denver, CO
2. T-Mobile
3. Excellent in Denver and as good or better than Verizon/AT&T/Sprint in the mountains.

Huge mixed bag.
I still have my vzw gnex so I can compare the two (they are both on me at all times).
When I'm in a hspa 21/42 area the data is great and not too much slower than lte.
The key to that is, when I'm in the area, because it's not that often, especially compared with Verizon's 4g footprint.
So for me it's very hit or miss. I even find myself tethering the gnex to the n4 in many spots.
The phone is stupid good though, so even if I didn't have the gnex I'd prob still keep it even with the hit or miss data.

Coverage around town is excellent.
Speeds aren't too impressive though. I never get higher than maybe 2.5 mb down and maybe 2 up. And we are supposedly hspa42. But at&t isn't any faster as they don't have hspa+ or LTE here in town.
It's pretty bad because we are a town(s) of 130,000 not even counting the 23,000 college kids. We are basically same size as Champaign-Urbana or Springfield and they both have better than 10mb downloads whenever I am there.

LTE -117 to -120dbm

Has there ever been a radio update to change this a little higher on any other phone? Dropping to 3G from LTE is killer.. I usually leave my phone in CDMA only in my home town area but I went to a launched area this passed week where the roll out is in the 90% complete zone and it still drops from 4G to 3G a lot..
Just wondering if a radio update has ever fixed an issue like this on any other devices in the past.

I don't think it's a phone issue but my Note II holds LTE like a champ but damn I don't want to lug that thing around anymore after having the One for this long.. dbm levels are the same on the Note it just doesn't drop to 3G until the -130 range where as the One drops it around -117dbm... I'm holding out on a possible radio update before I do anything drastic like going back to the Note II.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium

It's network and phones that are the issue. First off, it shoildnt be that much of a problem to drop to 3g, as long as the data still works. Buut 3g is worthless usually with no throughput.
Then these HTC phones can't hold on (or wont) to lte for ****, for whatever reason. The iPhone 5, gs3, and 4 all held 4g, and when they dropped it, it quickly moved back up to 4g. This phone, on the other hand, will drop 4g, sit with NO data connection for a while, then connect to worthless 3g while still in a 4g blanketed area.
Then on the LTE topic...I've been waiting and waiting but this crap seems to get slower and slower as time passes. Plenty of times I will get less than 1mbps. Ive been waiting almost 2 years for them to get it together but it seems that it won't be happening. Back to tmobole (<10 mbps always) I go

Well I keep telling myself I need to try a galaxy but the build of the HTC phones keep luring me in. Maybe with this phone being a more popular model because it is across different carriers unlike the Evo line the devs can find away to adjust the settings of the hardware. It is very annoying when my T-Mobile buddy constantly pulls 15-25 mbps on his speed tests and I look at mine and see 3g icon on top. I know there is lte out there we r 80% complete here

Headline is grossly misleading. It's not the 2M subscriber drop-off that caused the costs-- many of them were on the old iDEN network and essentially marginal anyway. It's the cost of safely shutting down and dismantling iDEN that was essentially one of many large, one-time costs Sprint is incurring as it modernizes its network.

I'm happy with my data speeds and coverage on Sprint. 40-60mbs is nothing to laugh at. Not many places I find don't have LTE anymore. Fast updates and no locked anything is a huge plus. Spring will be seeing many more Verizon customers in the coming months. S4/Note 3/S5 all locked from here out will bring more over.

Then you're lucky, because there are still TONS of places that don't have LTE, including major cities. I was in Denver a few weeks ago and still had to make do with 3G just like I do at home. Also, 40-60 mbs is unheard of, even on Verizon and AT&T. My home wifi isn't even that fast. If that figure is even remotely accurate, you're definitely a (very) rare exception rather than the rule.

Idk OP, my service and bandwidth on Sprint's LTE is pretty solid, speaking as a recent convert from Verizon.
Ohh, I remember the good ol' days before Verizon lost their way. I was a Verizon customer during the release of the OG Motorola Droid, and that phone was like a development catalyst. I discovered xda thanks to that phone's development following. Everything I came to love about customizing kernels and roms came from that phone. ****, I remember what now seems like an ancient version of CyanogenMod for that OG Droid. I remember that phone out of the box was underclocked of all things, from 550Mhz down to 450 which made overclocking that thing to a meaty 1ish Ghz seem so beastly at the time lol!
Ahhhh good times :good:

Decent Sprint LTE speeds in College Park, MD
I get decent speeds (15-23 Mb down, 7-10 Mb up) on Sprint in College Park MD according to Speedtest.

Won't the speeds for the Sprint LTE towers drop for an individual once more people start utilizing it? I suspect some people are getting very high speeds because not a lot of Sprint users are tapping into the LTE bandwidth yet?

Close - it was a 600 mhz CPU underclocked to 550 mhz. I remember there were kernels that could overclock the thing all the way to 1.3 ghz. I've still never used another phone that could be overclocked that far past the native clock speed (by percentage, at least). Good times.

Exactly, all these new plans Sprint is coming out with end up costing us more money than the plans we already have so why would we switch to them.

This is really tempting since T Mobile has better coverage and more 4G where I live than Sprint.
I'm going to scope it out. Might be something to jump on.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Well I went to the website to check out how much it would be for 2 lines and it would end up costing more on T Mobile. First off you HAVE to finance a device or pay the full price up front. So 2 lines with unlimited everything comes up to $120 per month plus if I were to get 2 HTC Ones that would be an extra $50 per month. So $170 before taxes and fees. I think you have to buy the insurance also but I'm not sure. I'm going to go into a TMobile store and check it out for sure though.

I don't understand why people think these no contract plans are any better than signing a contract.
Why would you want to be on the hook for paying off a 600$ device rather than paying a 200$ early termination fee..

Yeah I'd rather have my text messages send and receive normally. Past T-Mobile people I've texted have told me of "texting issues" and the whole "edge" thing. No thanks, if my LTE drops, at least 3G is faster than edge. And I'm not giving up my unlimited 4G LTE & tethering. As for upgrades... If I really want the phone like my two HTC Ones then I pay full price. T-Mobile sounds good and all but i know there's a catch there some here. And Sprint made me happy thay my AT&T friends with extreme speeds sometimes ask me to lend my portable hotspot when their LTE drops to HSPA or Edge.

I went to a T-Mobile store today to inquire about it. What kills it for me is that you HAVE to purchase a device from them, and our Ones are only worth $106 in trade-in. Doesn't seem fair when I could sell it on CL for $275. The cost would work out roughly the same. $86/month. They also don't pay the ETF directly. You have to cover it, then you get a prepaid MasterCard in 4-8 weeks. So to start the plan, you're looking at potentially hundreds of dollars.
Yeah, it's contract free, but it's not really worth it in my opinion. Sprint does just fine in Metro Atlanta, and as much as I feel I'm getting boned by them, it's the smallest in the long list of dicks that are phone companies.

Yeah, what he said! I work in Pendergrass, Geogia, which is about 90 miles north of metro Atlanta, and formerly a 3G area if I was lucky. Within the last four months it has gone from spotty 3G to 2 bars of LTE. And that's literally out in the boonies. That much improvement that fast is worth hanging around, especially with the whole Mastercard bait and switch crap. Sprint is really earning my business these days. My penny and a half...
