GA: Atlanta/Athens 4G LTE - Official Thread

**Kizzmocat** · 08-10-2012, 06:41 PM

I'm so happy to see we're getting LTE in BFE, how about giving us who live in populated areas some coverage sprint! Lol, living in southern California has its perks, but sprints LTE is not one of them!

I am starting to get a few whiffs of LTE in a places that I had not before.
The coverage is slowly building in the ATL.

LTE is solid in Loganville from one end of town to the other. We are having a nice Chinese dinner at Oriental Gardens and here is a speed test.

In my circle of travel, the Mall Of Georgia/Buford area and some in Athens.
Also, a tiny bit in Decatur when I was down that way.

Here's what I've observed so far about LTE on the EVO. I find no discernable difference in battery life with LTE on or off. Apparently the device polls for LTE infrequently to conserve its incredibly long battery life. In my experience it seems to be at least 5 minute intervals. I can travel to a known strong LTE area and sometimes wait at least that long for LTE to finally turn on.

If I have a strong WiFi signal I usually, but not always, have to turn WiFi off to get LTE to turn on.

In a known LTE area, I can always get LTE to turn on quickly by toggling either LTE CDMA/CDMA or Airplane mode.

What is your experience?

Dateline: Statham, GA.
Got this about 1.5 miles from my house while waiting in line to pickup my son from his first day of Kindergarten.

Pretty damn fast.

I have the Comcast supplied modem and a Linksys WRT54G router.
If anyone has a cable modem they are not using, let me know.
I don't want to pay Comcast $7.00 a month for theirs.

I recall seeing cable modems in Best Buy. I too have apparently been paying the cable company $7 a month for years when I should have owned one. Hmmm.

Hey TraderGary, Im in the Snellville-Loganville area. Is the EVO 4G LTE worth getting or would you recommend the GS3 over it?

**TraderGary** · 08-18-2012, 04:22 AM

Both use the same processor so they have the same speed. I chose the EVO because I prefer the color accuracy, brightness and sharpness of the IPS screen. The IPS screen can be used in full sunlight. The camera rivals my best P&S which I no longer carry.

I'm an Evo fan.... I was just questioning that sealed battery. Not a big fan of that...I feel like if that battery ever has an issue I'll have to replace my entire device instead of just swapping the battery.
