browning Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I believe the tower on the Dulles Hyatt was just turned on. Looks like testing since uploads are very low but this is awesome news. I pulled 10MB down on a speedtest with the EVO and a coworker 19MB with the iPhone 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetti2u Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I live on the Arlington/Alexandria border and I haven't seen any progress on 4G LTE rollout. However, I was visiting my parents this past weekend who live on the Arlington/McLean border and I noticed that I was connected to 4G LTE. You can imagine my surprise. Very nice connection speeds. Now when will if reach me where I live????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, as well as many others, the EVO does not do a good job of acquiring the LTE signal in areas that aren't saturated with LTE. If you haven't tried toggling the phone in and out of airplane mode you may want to try that if you're in an area where you suspect LTE to be present.

iLarry Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think it's time Rockville and Bethesda get a little purple on the sensorly map... We have probably the biggest bald spot in the market! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new update the evo connects quite well without cycling with in seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem better but still not as good as I expected it to be. Still having to do airplane mode more than I feel I should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahum365 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 It does seem better but still not as good as I expected it to be. Still having to do airplane mode more than I feel I should. Occasionally, even I need to cycle Airplane Mode to get a -90dbm or so LTE connection. It's because the network is in its infancy and the phone will need to most likely connect to a further away site to get an LTE signal, which consumes more power and is less stable and reliable.

Well, I either have a bad device or the improvements are being misstated. I have been 100 yards away from an active LTE tower and still had to do the airplane mode dance. And this is a tower that has been up and running for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge there is a timer before the LTE radio cuts on, so of that timer doesn't trigger in range of a tower you may have to do the airplane mode dance.

Bushrod121 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Caught a small patch of 4G on the GW Parkway south of Old Town this morning. Lost it before I got Sensorly up. I'll try to catch it this afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushrod121 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Nothing on the GW Parkway but I was able to get a nice track southbound on N Columbus yesterday and northbound on N Alfred this morning in Old Town. No speed tests yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamo696 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 What's happening in this market no new news since a long time. And rockville Bethesda in the dark. There has not been new news since weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has not been new news since weeks. Probably holiday down time. The weather hasn't been exactly cooperating around here either.

dcharleyultra Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It seems they are playing around with LTE in Lorton. Up until now, I lost it shortly after passing Silverbrook Road. Now I've gotten at home. EHRDP is also much stronger. Swyped from my SPH-L710 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider1701 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Has anyone gotten any signal in woodbridge or manassas as of yet? I know that at least one tower near to lake ridge was down for service recently as i got no signal for 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nahum365 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Redskins in the playoffs! LTE must be coming... That was a great game. Would hate to be Domo and have to live with that interception for almost a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Redskins in the playoffs! LTE must be coming... Redskins in the playoffs? I would have said that Daniel Snyder must have died. But then I saw him on TV during the broadcast. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studentjunk Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 At the beginning of the season, the sports pundits (Mike and Mike) said the Redskins would be in last place. Guess they were wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillowsplat Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Which bet would you have taken? The Redskins in the Playoffs or Sprint rolling out the Washington market by the end of the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazO Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Was there a cease and desist order place against this market because it seems like 2 weeks before christmas came there weren't any new towers that came online and the trend is still continuing unless everyone decided to stop mapping points with sensorly.
