Repeated eHRPD errors in a certain area of Buffalo, NY


Recommended Posts

I'm using the Sprint HTC m9 with (.30 OTA).  At home in Hamburg, NY I have no issues.  At work, on east side of Buffalo, NY, near intersection of E Delevan and Grider I get repeated and non-stop "Failed to initialize wireless data connection: EHRPD" followed by an error number which varies but in the last 10 minutes I've gotten -3, 65540, and 65535.

 

I didn't really have this issue with my HTC m8.  My m8 usually parked on a weak LTE signal and stayed there, my M9 is rarely on LTE.  So either network issues started around same time as a switched to m9, or the m9's radio is faulty.

 

Any ideas?

If it persists have them open a ticket, although I dont think that works unless you what what tower(s) is making it do that. Ask in the Buffalo thread instead of opening up a new topic, theres got to be someone in the Buffalo area that could see about that area too, I rarely get out to Buffalo or else I could try and help maybe. Sorry I couldnt help much either I have no idea.

I was having problems yesterday in the area of Main and Delevan. I kept getting "Data session could not be established" error. It seems to have resolved now. If they could only turn on more band 41 and 26 here...

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
