Id think once all the towers are at full capacity it will. Has anyone with an EVO tried changing the LTE scan and how did it affect the battery for you?

There were hundreds of thousands of people at the Indianapolis 500 race.  When the race was over, many thousands of people try to get for a taxi to get them out of the area.  Taxis have special road r

Do you know what you're talking about? All LTE performance is signal strength dependent. Even AT&T's. You only get 50Mbps on AT&T when you are on top of a LTE site with no one else on it.

I was mapping on Sensorly this morning by the track on 16th if you want to check it out. Anyways if you look at my screen shot i got an R where the triangle would be if i were to roam. I only got this when i was at the edge of coverage. What could this mean? Ill post pics of the tower in my next post under this.

It happened a few times to me in Texas. It means you are roaming on 1x, but still connected to Sprint LTE.

Wow, I am surprised that LTE held out longer than 1x did. Netmoniter was showing that I was connected to the same tower I was pulling LTE off of.

Were you roaming to the same tower? Is that site colocated with other carriers? It is possible that the Sprint 1x was down in the area and that was why you were roaming. Not because you were out of range.

It is a stand alone Sprint tower and Att is next to it. Netmoniter showed myself still connected to that tower when the R came up. I even checjed my logs and confirmed i was on that tower at that time.

This is between Martinsville and Bloomington on the 37. The 1.48 is when I reached about 10 minutes out from Martinsville. Bloomington shows a consistent 1.4Mbps-2Mbps otherwise:

I noticed yesterday on my commute home to Avon that I had LTE from 465 all the way to Raceway. I would've done a Sensorly post, but I'm on the iPhone.

Damn you iPhone!

Just kidding, thanks for the info.

I did some mapping this morning in that area. And a few more. Like 16th st yesterday and the one by Washington and 465 today. The site is off highschool between 10th and Rockville.

I know! I'm hoping to get down there this weekend. coverage is popping up all over Indy. Nothing out here in Lafayette but its nice knowing we are in the middle of two LTE markets so we should see some action in the near future.

I am having difficult time getting lte in spots I was b4, is sprint blocking sites or is this evo lte garbage?

Sprint blocking sites, maybe...

EVO LTE radios garbage, most definitely.

 

What sites? If they are north side I will happily go check them out.

Everywhere I get LTE signal, I only get it for that day and it seems to get turned on every once in awhile. I am guessing they are turning on these sites as they are working on them to test the new implementation, then turning them off when they are done to stand by for the big launch date! Just my guess.

I am still getting lte on every site that sensorly shows and the ones that are finished and accepted by sprint. I dont beleive they have blocked any so far

I don't want to seem ungrateful but I hope the speeds get faster then 17 MB down just saying I hope they are not completely finished in my area. My buddy gets 50MB down here on att consistently

There is nothing you could do that you would need more than 17mbps let alone 50. Sprint depkoyed only on 5mhz verse att 10mhz. So Sprints max is 37.5mbps and obviously AT&T is twice that.

I guess we're all just Sprint fanboys but what could you possibly need 50mb/s for on your phone? My home connection is 20mb and I have no use for it?

      Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      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.
