Hi, does anyone know if Sprint's coverage works in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side of the border? If not, what are the options? Thanks!

Most likely it will. I used to live in Toronto and people were using American satellite providers like DirecTV/Dish Network to get American channels. (not sure if it's legal though lmao)

Seems to get almost full coverage according to Sprint's website.

Thanks for the reply and leg work! Do you or anyone else have any actual experience with Sprint's network in Niagara Falls?

Just wanted to give a quick update on Sprint's coverage in Niagara Falls. It works great for at least the first few blocks on the Canadian side, with Lte, sometimes dropping to 3g. All the tourist spots are covered. So, in my experience, no need for a Canadian SIM if you're just going to see the falls and attractions.

I live in Tampa. I was naturally excited to hear that Tampa was one of the five lucky cities to receive Sprint Spark. I wonder if this is the day Sprint has decided to flip it on. What do you all think?

Last I read the HTC One does NOT support this new network.
Get a G2 or a N5 then you can use it.....

I'd go with t-mobile. No matter where I've lived it had best service and quality and speeds.
Its 3g is normally better then my 4g speeds and my 4gs speeds are blown outta the water compared to sprint 4g.
But might just be my area
Well I know my area has terrible t mobile service Verizon says I should have good coverage but yet I get terrible service when my friend gets great service and iv been threw every step of tech support did not help also got my phone replaced did not help I was just wondering if Samsung put a bad antenna or radio in there note 3 I want to keep the note 3 am willing to switch carriers but don't want to be stuck with the same problem
What area are u located in my area code is 95621 may they have gotten better since iv had them
So why post this in the sprint forum? ??

It may be both. I'll have to chat with AT&T and see what they say. It is maybe my phone? I read that the XT1053 is missing certain LTE bands that the XT1058 has. But then again like I said, my S3 had the same speeds.

Here's what I found from GSMarena... There's 850 for LTE missing it looks like... I think I'm reading that correctly? Lol

Haha I know how you feel.. I've got at&t too on my xt1053 but rarely around LTE so haven't noticed.. And welcome

I actually used to live in Cleveland, but moved back to the DC area about a year ago. I remember getting two to three times the speeds you're getting on LTE, but then again, I was using an iPhone 5 back then.
Bought a Moto X Developer Edition XT1053 and have been getting strong LTE coverage so far within the DC metro area.
I have SERIOUS dreadful speeds with T-Mobile . I usually get 2mbps download and 1 upload. (Yea thats horrible) all around Denver the highest speed I've ever had while on LTE would be 10mbps. I'm seriously thinking about leaving tmobile for VERIZONs badass service. A friend has Verizon and he's speeds are consistent. Check out the screen shot from here at work. It went from bad to absolutely worse. Can't loud crap. And it isn't the ROM fault. Calling T-Mobile won't fix nothing because there techs are seriously retarded. I've tried what I could to no avail. Maybe there's some kind of tool or something I could use. Speeds have been horrible Ever since I got the note 4 and I even pay the extra $20 for what they call "unlimited" I could take my $80 and go with Verizon and pay an extra $40 for TRULY UNLIMITED, EVERYWHERE. I have a phantom netgear router thats 60 Mbps no matter how many people are connected or what they are doing so going from steady 60 to less than 1 its ridiculous I got a fast phone with horrible service. I could have the fastest phone in the world. But under T-Mobile it becomes the slowest!!!

I've had my phone for two weeks and it's never been able to connect to LTE. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?
ATT has my IMEI in the database and still no success.

You do realize that Oxygen OS doesn't show an LTE icon for LTE service? LTE is still considered 4G service, and as such it's only reported as 4G.
Download LTE Discovery, it will tell you if you're on LTE or not.
Straight Talk MVNO: AT&T Towers
OxygenOS: No, I only get a "4G+" which after a while seemed like it was as fast at LTE if I got good reception. Either icon next to the signal icon means the same thing.
Sultan's ROM: Yes, I see the LTE icon, and I even get the LTE icon indoors where I used to not get it on Oxygen OS. The APN was automatically in the system as well on this ROM.

So what ARE you getting? As I said earlier, download the LTE discovery tool, it's super helpful.

Take a look at your APN's. If they look right, give AT&T a call.

Already did that, no worky. So maybe the phone is just defective, or OnePlus sent me one for the Chinese network and but the USA.
