WiWavelength Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 lol yea. realistic to compare that map to sprints. obviously you have no clue abt the area, its traffic, or coverage. use ur semantics however you like. doesnt change the facts. Obviously, you do not know me. I live in Kansas, am a geographer, and have spent ample time in Wichita. I know the area quite well. Additionally, my Sensorly map example perfectly illustrates a problem with your "logic." So, keep digging yourself a hole... AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker45 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 @dkoelwer abusive behavior? thats quite the escalation. next I will have e-killed someone. in that thread I was just being "direct." if you guys dont want to acknowledge that something is wrong with ur info in this instance, fine. you guys say its covered. I say it isnt. sensorly says it isnt. and ive physically been there. those are the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your home was not mapped on Sensorly, but you had LTE at home, by your logic the phone would be incorrect, which you know it isn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid71 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My wife and I enjoy great coverage in the eastern Kansas City suburbs. My mom lives about 30 miles north of Springfield. She currently uses the HTC Evo4GLTE and I'm stunned she gets 3G as well as she does. Anyway... we're considering switching from our ED1500 plan to the Framily. I've discussed the subsidy consideration of the Framily plan with mom and suggested a Nexus 5 should cover her (small) data needs. She is on board with this. Would it be safe to expect that her data speeds would at least not drop any further with the Nexus 5? I'm certain she would'nt get LTE in Bolivar, (you should see her face light up when she visits up here and sees 4G on her Evo) but would the N5 be a solid performer even in this rural area? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I drive through Bolivar at least a couple times a month going between Springfield and Lenexa. I have an N5, and 3G works great going through Bolivar. If she gets signal now, she'll have an even better signal with the N5. It's the best RF performing on the network right now. And LTE in Bolivar might not be that far away.... Unfortunately I can't say much more than that outside of the sponsor forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker45 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 how does the N5 compare to the lg g2 as far as network performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8nuguy Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Lte wise N5 is better Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 how does the N5 compare to the lg g2 as far as network performance? It has the G2 beat by a bit on Band 41 and Band 25 LTE. Haven't had enough Band 26 out there to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkoellerwx Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 And it's back again. Lol! Is it actually going away, or is your phone just switching back to PCS because it doesn't need 1x800. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexeon Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Could be switching, I'm in an iffy location for signal strength -97 RTT, -107 LTE according to SignalCheck Pro. When I pick up 800 it's around -87. I wish it would stay on 800, calls wouldn't be so unstable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn_kc Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Has anyone else noticed 800 has been on the last couple of days in the KC area? I'm staying on it all day downtown. For the first time ever, my phone rang in the elevator at work, i was able to answer and not drop a the call while going driving out of the cement underground parking garage. That has never happened. The in building coverage is dramatically improved. I hope it's on for good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The in building coverage is dramatically improved. I hope it's on for good. Very cool. Since I have a tri-band device, I don't see a 1x signal unless I'm on a call (which isn't very often) since I get LTE pretty much everywhere. Now I haven't been able to go deep in a building to see, but so far I haven't seen any 1x800. Doesn't mean its not there though. Hopefully we get some acceptance reports soon to confirm!

twitch Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Anyone get HD Voice working? The video sprint showed was pretty impressive and both my SO and I have compatible phones but have yet to experience HD Voice. Apparently there is an announcement coming as well ...soon.

skid71 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Anyone experiencing issues around Southwest Trafficway & 31st Street in KCMO? I have no idea where the tower(s) are located in that area. My wife's Note2 is churning through battery at an unbelievable rate the past 2-3 weeks. Her 1xRTT readings yesterday were anywhere between -95dBm - -105dBm, with no evdo, ehrpd, or lte connection. Prior to the last 2-3 weeks, she connected without issue to lte. No issues when connecting to our home tower. Updated PRL & Profile multiple times over the past few weeks. I reported the issue to @sprintcare on Twitter. Thanks, Skid Edited April 15, 2014 by skid71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep bugging @sprintcare and calling them until it's fixed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I am seeing band 26 now in KC North. Think you might be able to get some Signal Check screen shots (with location noted?) Trying to confirm as many sites as possible! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
