    New Build Number

    Thanks - yeah I have the brightness in the notification drawer, and my build and baseband seems to be higher than H9 as the kernel version date is Sept 7, not Aug 29 as it is for H9. Is still 4.0.4. Anyway, I called Samsung and it turns out mine is a maintenance build based on my area (FL), or...

    New Build Number

    For some reason, my ATT S3 is I747UCALI5... is that the old build? Only had my S3 for a couple of weeks, but it's not H9, so just checking. Kies won't allow me to update and ATT software update says it's current.

    EVO update 3.70.651.1 pushing out now!

    Is there any way to revert back to the software version prior to the update or root to an older rom after updating? This release is beyond terrible: streaming audio and video no longer work; whenever a 4G connection drops, in the past it used to find it again all on its own, now, if you lose 4G...

    shoutcast - xiialive/winamp dropping connection after update

    Same issue here. Ever since the update I get connection dropped on xiialive whether 3G without 4G turned on, 3G with 4G widget on, 4G or WiFi. Has anyone here reported this to the xiialive dev yet? Radiotime does work, but the bandwidth on that makes it sound like an am radio...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    I was probably speaking too soon when I said 3G speeds were okay. Good speeds lasted about 2 days. Now getting 200k max download on various Sprint phones (my phone and 4 other phones belonging to my friends) in various locations around Tampa. Called Sprint - apparently everythings okay. So...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    Actually I have been. Max of 200k down and up non existent, for a few days, all over town, couldn't stream radio for a damn and the web kept timing out. Did all sorts - reset, update, pull battery etc. But I just ran speedtest again - 2467 down 728 up. My 3g now seems faster than 4g.. just ran...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    I understand the sentiment that it takes time to build a network, but after being with Sprint since March, first with an Overdrive, then moving from T-Mobile in June to the Evo, I've been constantly told that 4G is coming and definitely to my area. I'm 4 miles north of USF in New Tampa, so you'd...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    Is anyone familiar with Clear's website and how reliable the "future coverage" is? As someone mentioned there's 40% still to go in Tampa due to nesting birds, wouldn't Clear show this as "future coverage" on their map? If this is all we're going to get, I think I'll be back with T-Mobile and...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    Has anyone noticed anything north of USF? There are occasional spots around Bearss Ave, but I looked at the tower by Bruce B Downs and I-75 and one off Bruce B Downs near Cross Creek Blvd, and there's no nests or nesting birds on them. Hopefully they're filling out Riverview down to Apollo Beach...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    Yeah I live close by, just north of that intersection. It lasted maybe a couple of hours, then dropped. Was either a freak catch or something went wrong with an install somewhere. With it being only 0 bars/1 bar, my guess is the weather allowed the signal from the tower up by Fletcher/I-75 to...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    I thought the same about the bridges, but its weird how there's only one spot on each, but I guess its good news anyway. As for new coverage, South Tampa now has 4G pretty much all over. Mapping in the background as I type. If it doesn't show up on Sensorly in the next day or two, the servers...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    I have noticed some more areas with 4G over the last week, so it appears they're still adding 4G. Westchase, Carrolwood and the Citrus Park areas in particular. I will say that a month ago, there was nothing south of the I4/75 interchange, but now its moving south so maybe Riverview will get it...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    Well Orlando got the official turn on today.. the spotty, poor latency, slow 4G we have here doesn't seem ready for primetime just yet, but any word on a release date here?

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    If the launch is in the next week or so, it doesn't look like it'll be out in many commuter areas with large populations, like Lutz, Land o Lakes, New Tampa, Tampa Palms, Riverview etc. if the testing areas are anything to go by. I think the closest to me would be I75/Fowler, a good 7 miles...

    4G info for those in Tampa,FL

    Well I've been all over the area over the last few days - Tampa and St Pete, including places I've found 4G before - and haven't found any 4G signal. I have noticed 3G has sped up a lot though - was getting 500k day and 700k night, but for the last few days, its back up to 1000/1800, which is nice..
