They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

I can't speak for the gs3 but there is definitely a problem with the gnex connecting with data. When I am in st. thomas(and PR) if I reset both my evo and my gnex, my evo will connect to 3g right away but it would take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, if not longer, for my gnex to finally connect to 3g. There is definitely an issue specific to the gnex for sure.

 

The icon at the status bar says 3g but in my case its not accurate, go to settings>about phone>status and check for 1x or Evdo.

 

 

mines says 3g at the top and 1x in settings.

Sweet! Its nice to see Puerto Rico getting some early love with network vision. Now service won't be so bad when I go over there in the future. When I went this past summer, service was not very good but my location may have played a big part of that.

Oh I know. When it connected I went in to settings and checked to make sure.

Weird... what does your EVDO engineering screen show on the AA/AAA auth?

 

Wonder if they have an issue with the GNex AAA Keys in their database causing you not to auth. This would do exactly what you are talking about. It would try several times then fall back to 1X. Saw this back in the day when I tried to EVDO roam on VZW before they auth'd everyone.

 

You are SID 5142 for your area?

WiMax is not administered by sprint and therefore cannot support MMS or SMS or voice calls.

 

As far as protection sites, there is a comprehensive analysis in the wimax section called what is a protection site or something to that effect.

CDMA1X is 3G, as is EV-DO. So, the 3G indicator is accurate, but not all flavors of 3G are equal.

 

The Sprint PCS Vision and Power Vision indicators used to make the distinction far more clear.

Same thing happened to my E4GT yesterday. Sprint said it was defective and ordered a new one. I think the network is defective not the phone, but hey at least it's a new phone.

 

I agree with you, but its wierd that it stopped working randomly. The new phone I just got is working perfectly.

Personalmente entre esos 2 te recomiendo el Evo.

 

Nada pero NADA se compara a la calidad de HTC fabricando telefonos. Veo que tienes un HTC evo original, ese telefono me duro casi 3 a~os mientras mi galaxy nexus ha sido cambiado 4 veces en 2 meses.

      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.
