S4GRU Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I didn't think giving the backhaul info would be a big deal... I knew sharing screenshots of the maps or linking the maps was not allowed' date=' but I edited the post removing the info. My apologies. Sent from my JB iPhone 4S using Forum Runner[/quote'] Thanks for making the adjustment. I can see you were just trying to be helpful. I appreciate your good attitude about the whole thing. Thanks for being a part of S4GRU. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayzooos Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 So if I just donated, how can I access these maps? I got a hankering to drive around looking for LTE tonight for some strange reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddieras Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'm in Deerfield and like most, service has been very spotty with my nexus s4g. Today I just got 'updating PRL' message. Is this related to the new NV towers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayzooos Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I usually freeze system update, but an updated PRL shouldn't have any real effect on NV as its just an updated list for roaming towers. PRL = Preferred Roaming List. Doubtful it will increase your Sprint 3G speeds or anything like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL = Preferred Roaming List. Doubtful it will increase your Sprint 3G speeds or anything like that. No, the prl has had the Chicago sid for SMR for quite sometime. The latest update only changed some international stuff I believe. And you are correct, it will not change speeds or increase signal.

runagun Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Union IL tower just got updated. checked it a few days ago and it wasn't NV'd. But,Yesterday I saw abnormally high signal strength with blistering speeds. Drove to site and saw the RRU's installed. Wish I would have caught them in the act installing them. So, that makes all towers by me NV'd. Which many of them aren't marked complete on the maps. Now if they can optimize them quickly. I'll be a happy camper.

ipatella Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hey guys, might be a noob question. But I see that the tower close to my house has been set up for 800 3g. As far as I knew 800 would penetrate through walls better, but I haven't noticed an increase in the bars that I'm getting. Is there a way to see which band you're on?

As far as I knew 800 would penetrate through walls better, but I haven't noticed an increase in the bars that I'm getting. Is there a way to see which band you're on? Should be able to get into the debug menu on the gnex with the following dialer code: *#*#DEBUG#*#* code: 777468 Under 1x engineering you can find which band you are on (10 = 800, 1 = 1900) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroscott Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 It will only be connecting to CDMA 1x RTT on 800MHz though. EVDO (what people generally refer to as 3G) will only be broadcast on 1900MHz. Also, if you have a Nexus S as your profile indicates, you will not be connecting to 800MHz as that phone lacks the hardware to connect to the SMR band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipatella Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Sorry, I updated my phone information, I have an evo lte. I'm not running the stock software so I don't think dialer codes will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet, hopefully when lte is on I'll get like 2mb down on one bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannible Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 My evo lte is always connecting to the 800mhz at the tower in Glencoe Ill. It works in the basement of a building near the tower which didn't occur before the upgrade. But, I'm also getting band 10 when I'm outside near the tower with full bars. I have seen that 1x is on 1900 as well but most of the time it is on 800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laoman3d Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I got a 4G signal on my EVO 4G LTE at the Speedway in Joliet.

Just upload it there and copy the url. Otherwise photobucket works great too and has an app, so you can do everything from your phone.
