  1. Seems to be back up in Menomonee Falls, WI. Hopefully the rest of the state will also be back up.
  2. I just got it tonight as well. Now hopefully I'll be able to make and receive calls in our mobile home up north. I'll see this weekend.
  3. I hear it on mine as well. I got mine on launch day.
  4. Downloaded the update during my lunch and it seems to have fixed the LTE issue. I was getting band 26 for a while, but it's fallen back to regular LTE. Actually the band 26 was a stronger signal than the non-band 26.
  5. Mine just shows LTE (Sprint) in the notification menu, and in the app, System Shortcuts -> Debug/Engineering I get a message saying Debug/Engineering screens may not be available on this device".
  6. I have SignalCheck Pro running, but from the screenshot, can't decipher the band. I was able to see I am on band 25 using the *#0011# method though.
  7. Pardon the "newbie" question, but how do I determine what LTE band I am on?
  8. According to "About device", the Software version is G900PVPU1ANCB I did notice though that I need to redo it when I go between work and home, so it's not a complete fix.
  9. I was corresponding with @sprintcares via Twitter and they had me enter ##72786# to go into hands free activation and after a few restarts and system updates I got the LTE to stay. Might work for some of you.
  10. Thanks. I thought it was odd, but over all am satisfied with the phone. Sprint did remove the Download Booster that would allow you to download over Wi-Fi and LTE at the same time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  11. Got the Galaxy S5 today and so far really like it. I did notice in SignalCheck Pro I only get an LTE connection, no 1xRTT Haven't tried to make a voice call yet, but did run a speed test and got 5-6 Mbps down and 3-5 Mbps up. SC Pro no longer shows my tower though.
  12. Looks like the tower in Tomahawk, WI just got updated to 4G. Can't wait until I get back up there to see if it helps my signal at the cottage which is northwest of Tomahawk.
  13. Getting 4G at my work (Good Hope Rd & Appleton Ave. in Menomonee Falls) this morning. On my Galaxy S4 I got 6.24 down and 1.82 up. On my iPad Air I got 4.82 down and 0.56 up.
  14. Anyone else in the Milwaukee/Menomonee Falls area having data problems today? My eHRPD signal seems to go in and out all morning. The 1x800 is very strong though. Maybe they're doing some work on the tower my signal is coming from.
  15. I still have LTE at my house on the northwest side of Milwaukee (68th & Silver Spring) but only have 800 at work near Appleton Ave. & Good Hope Rd. In Menomonee Falls. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  16. Getting LTE on 68th north of Silver Spring all morning ???? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  17. While I was at Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls, my phone would often get an LTE signal at night. Unfortunately I wasn't able to map anything with Sensorly but Signal Check Pro did indicate it was getting LTE. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  18. Unfortunately I am no jailbroken. The quality of the apps on the iPad are much better than on Android. I have a wi-fi only Nexus 7, which I also like. I just wish iOS were a little more open.
  19. I have a 64GB iPad 4 WiFi + Cellular and I know on Android there is the SignalCheck Pro app to determine your signal strength, etc. Is there any way to do this on the iPad?
  20. Was on my way home from work last night with the LTE Discovery app running on my Galaxy S4 when it picked up LTE on Highway 145, near Carmen Ave. Here are the exact coordinates: 43.12308178, -88.01644458, which is about 1.5 miles from my home. So it is getting close I couldn't check in Sensorly.com tonight how close a 4G signal has been detected to my home, but last I checked it was just starting around 68th and Silver Spring. Now, if I could just get the LTE by work, where I need it since we don't have wi-fi through out the whole building, I'll be a very happy Sprint user.
  21. Yeah, I use Cellcom for "high speed" Internet when I am up there because I refuse to pay for satellite Internet and cable and DSL aren't available where our place is. It is better than dial-up, but just barely Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  22. No, I work for FIS (fka Metavante) in the Woodland Prime office park. Thank you for your explanation. Much appreciated.
  23. If you're looking for something to do Saturday from 1 to 4, come to 5641 N 68th in MKE for our neighborhood picnic.

  24. Any news in the Tomahawk area as far as how the updates are going? We have a cottage in the Little Rice/Lake Nokomis area and reception is terrible. I have to stand in the middle of our driveway in order to even make a call and half the time I can hear the other party fine, but they can't hear me. Even texts are delayed in getting to my phone.
