He obviously was confusing Band 41 and called it Band 45. People make mistakes. That doesn't mean he was trying to pull one over on you. Holy moly.

Sorry if this has been asked before but is the signal strength a tower transmits constant?  I get that internet speeds will fluctuation when there is less or more traffic but what i never understood is the fluctuation of signal strength one receives on their phones.  is there a correlation with the two?

Not sure what i can gleam from that thread other than SNR fluctuation cause interference with tower signal.

Just thought more people would see your question in that thread.

Band 25, 26, and 41 in Kerman and even though I live in town, it's rare to get any LTE signal. And when you do get band 26 it only lasts a few seconds and then drops back to 3G if you go indoors. Pretty disappointed, looks like I'll be stuck in a dead zone.

Has it improved any since you posted this? 

 

I was wondering if it hasn't been optimized or something. Oddly Sprint's maps haven't been updated to show LTE (they were pretty good at including new LTE areas quickly before). I was in Kerman yesterday and was surprised I couldn't get LTE inside the Valley Food shopping center (across McDonalds). I was expecting better from 800MHz LTE. Hopefully it's an optimization quirk can be easily tuned.

nope wish 1X800 & B26 would get all over Kern Co yet with Santa Barbara making it hard for So Cal to get the upgrades we want & need hard to say

Any news on full spark capability in Fresno?

 

I'm only aware of one site with B41 gear in Fresno, and that one is a roof top setup. The others are going to be hard because they weren't able to keep the old rackspace from the old, pre-NV gear, so now they have to re-engineer everything all over again. I'd give it another 6 months at least.

Ive seen B41 around 3 places in fresno (downtown, near shaw and blackstone, and river park) also its on in kerman. But they only seems to be testing it or something because it will come on and be on for a few and than it goes away.

Anyone notice recently in fresno that Download speeds are pretty bad? im not sure if its because Im trying out a new phone (went from Galaxy S5 to HTC M9) or its just the service. Speed test are really weak and uploads are faster than downloads at times which never happened before.

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download. 
    • What do you see with the latest alpha/ beta version?
