Rexeon Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Two nights ago at 40 Highway and Noland; I picked up a 1x800 at 214th st near Atchison. And just now I picked up one in Junction City that's 148 miles away from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexeon Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 NID 308 on both. Must really be 6900 Noland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I was seeing some weird stuff of my drive back from Denver to KC. In Salina, picked up a site in Junction City, in Junction City, picked up a site in Topeka. In Topeka, picked up a site in KCMO. Didn't make much sense. It would never stay connected to 800 long before jumping back to PCS. Sent from my HTC ONE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitch Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Assuming from the screenie below, my handset will use 1x 800 for voice and lte for data (don't think voice over LTE is active yet, yes?): This is in KCMO in an old house with terrible RF. Heck I barely get good wifi from one room to another. My wired connection is much better, OTOH: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your question, yes it will use 1x 800 for voice and text and LTE for data. Though I always use WiFi calling when I am home, works better than a low 1x signal.

I have ooma at home which works well with google fiber, but I imagine it would be helpful to have wifi calling right from the cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twitch Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Is a modded PRL no longer needed to force the handset to prefer 1x 800? I am using the OTA PRL update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickie546 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Close, but no. Best bet is the Missouri market thread. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/975-network-visionlte-missouri-market-includes-st-louis/ Rickie just talks about the Lake in this thread a lot Thanks David...

kckid Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Saw a crew at the tower on 135th and Nall. Stopped in to ask who they were working for, they said Sprint. Hope that means they are finally upgrading this site to LTE. You can barely see the ropes on the right side of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprintmobilefan Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Which PRL is needed for 800mhz access? I have 50507 and I'm on an MVNO (ringplus) so maybe we won't get access to it. I'm fairly sure Topeka has it deployed because a co-worker told me his is reporting 1X 800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpower1 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Clearwire. AJ That was my guess. Thanks. Do you know what is the reason they're so far down? Is that WiMax or LTE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 That was my guess. Thanks. Do you know what is the reason they're so far down? Is that WiMax or LTE? Could be both. Can't really tell without getting a good look at the RRU behind the antenna. Clear should have LTE running over most of the city by the end of the year.

Looks like they removed the legacy antennas as well unless I'm missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skid71 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I just updated the radios & firmware in my Evo4GLTE. Previously at home (1/2 mile north of Colbern Road & 7 Highway) I was getting anywhere from 1.1 mbps upto 2.5 on LTE. After the update I'm getting anywhere from 7.0 upto close to 20. This can't be just from updating the radios and firmware bits can it? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The update probably helped, but it's also possible that the site just a few blocks from you finally went online. Speeds <5Mbps are usually indicative of a weak signal, speeds >15Mpbs usually mean a strong signal. The only way you see that much change is if a site closer to you went live, which there is a site that is now LTE very close to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 3-4 hundred yards away. I'm a new member here and really enjoying the great information. I appreciate your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
