I agree. I used to have the LG Optimus S and almost never had a dropped call on Sprint. I switched to the S3 which otherwise is a great phone, but I have very many dropped calls. Definitely a phone problem. Many calls were dropped with full bars.

From where do you have the map? I've also gotten it in a few places, but only outdoors and very sporadic. Once connected, you can lose it at any moment.

Found an awesome app that tracks LTE signals based on a community of phones. It's called sensorly. Kinda like waze. Here's a snapshot of the Miami area.

Annoying to see that only 2 blocks west of Crown heights there is plenty of LTE...

Getting good speeds at home in the heart of BP on 14th Avenue. 13 down. Great for someone who's used to Sprint's 3G with 0.5 down. I'm impressed because it didn't launch yet. I used to have terrible 3G in this house.

This is a totally new phenomenon. Looks like they turned on a few antennas in the past days. I'm rreally amazed with the speed. So much better than their 3G network. Maybe because most people aren't using it yet and it's not clogged.

Blazing fast. Got 23 down of 45th near 15.

Question to Verizon and AT&T customers:
Is this faster than your network?

Got 25 down on second try. I'm amazed.

Recently getting less LTE in BP. Maybe some areas were shut off again. Was just for testing? My phone's problem? Anyone with the same experience?

Until the official LTE launch (in each area), coverage can be spotty due to testing.
