B-man Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Sorry so right after I updated my prl and profile I restarted my phone and now it picks up lte. That was weird :/Yeah if that happens I'd just try the most simplest stuff. I mean how many times do you reboot the phone. Glad you have it working! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma1 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yeah, this one bar of 4g, switching back and forth to 3g sucks, I'm paying a premium for unlimited high speed data and have yet to see it here locally at my house, a mile up the street it's pretty dang good, not here....

You do know our market is not officially launched yet right? There are other site that need work, let alone tweaking to make things work better. Be happy you get service and none at all. It will get better, but this is not a place to bitch about your service. Not trying to sound rude, but if Sprint is not working for you then I recommend you find a provider that does. sent from my HTC One Max 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digeythedog Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Hi, I am new to here (sorry if I say anything stupid...)! I will probably be only posting every so often and not be so much of a regular. But for starters my phone is the Samsung galaxy S III stock, will probably, soon be upgrading to Sony Xepria Z3 (I know Sprint doesn't offer any Sony phones at the moment but I have read a few articles about it probably coming to Sprint, so I am hoping! Also hope it has Spark support.) If they don't get that then I might do the Samsung Note 4. Now according to the "Network Vision/LTE Deployment Running List" Cincinnati has officially launched? Which is good news! For me myself I like Sprint, my only issue is on my SG3, I am lucky to get 4G LTE inside or outside of my house... I usually pull 2 bars of 3G inside my house. Now with Sprint Spark enabled devices, wouldn't the LTE be much stronger inside/outside my house?

I did a speed test side by side and I pulled 3.5ish my son got a 38! He has run multiple tests in the 40's and even a few in the 50's. All this has been in the Fairfield area.

Depends on your location, if you have a spark enabled phone, and band 26 is available, you should be able to get lte in your house. There is no guarantee though.

Your phone only picks up band 25 where as triband phones pick up band 25, 26 and 41. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Launch is just a press release and the ability to have customers open tickets regarding LTE problems. Don't read too much into it. Deployment continues. And frankly, Cincy launched with more and better coverage than most markets. Especially if you have a Triband device.

btrcp2000 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I will say it works in most places now. As soon as I see it my office I can dump freedompop. I'm still confused about spark, though, as I thought that would be further down the road after lte is widespread. I have a g2, will it behave differently when it is on spark vs lte? Or am I already seeing spark? Speedtests are usually around 10-15mbps, but every now and then I will see 30+ usually when I'm parked on75 in rush hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handyman Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Work going on with the Sprint tower in Eastgate. We have had 4g for a couple months already here. Got me some INTERNATIONAL ROAMING love once around that area. Was several months ago... Maybe a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handyman Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't think that is the case. In my experiences traveling 71 during the New vision build out, I would stream pandora for the drive up there and my S3 would cycle on and off 4G with out losing connection. I have experienced the same thing running sensorly. I would be on 4g and then go to 3g and then back to 4g all while mapping. Could be an issue with the Moto X or being with an MVNO.

btrcp2000 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I was literally surfing the freedom pop site to decide what to do about having lost my hotspot at the airport when I noticed my phone finally found lte in my office. Hope I get to keep this! This is in the middle of downtown halfway up a building. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope they finish the build out before sending the resources elsewhere. What is the Max speed 1900 is capable of currently? My son has gotten a few 50+ speed tests and I am curious what band they were on. The device is listing band 25 but I am not sure that is even possible.

Yeah I would really doubt that he's on band 25, anything above 30mbps is a different sign of good things coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
