I'm thinking I'll just take the Clovis rodeo tower down. I mean, no ones using it. Maybe we can collectively auction it off and bribe Sprint with the earnings. Maybe get a full launch sooner! Surely there's a better use for all that material than a useless 3g tower lol.

Here we see a rare congregation of feral AT&T trucks, grazing in their native habitat behind the dollar store and recycling place. I did not dare stop my car, for your average AT&T truck start

I dont see how becoming a customer of the only company that provides service in your area is considered a problem.

 

Do you expect him to use 56k in 2014?

 

Sprint provides the service because they want the customers....that's how it works.

 

Does Sprint offer an unlimited home broadband / fixed wireless / mifi type of service?

Yesterday I was at the sprint store in visalia and I was looking at the galaxy4 phone and it said it was picking up spark network. Was I fooled or is this a reality. The store rep said this was the first time he seen this and said it must have been picking it up. Does anyone know about this

Did you think you were on Spark because of the Spinning Icon?  Or did you actually verify you were on Band 41 in the Engineering screen?  The Spinning Spark LTE icon shows on all Triband Android devices (except Nexus) regardless of LTE band.  Even when not on Spark.

I'm sure hoping that all Clear sites in Visalia are live with Band 41. That would be wonderful.

What was the rep's name? I know a few of them equate the Spark logo thing to Band 41 off the top, but they really don't know.

Great...but how do u get to the engineering screen

I don't remember the dialer codes, but you can access the menus through signal check pro.

CDMA 800 does not require Triband.

The G2 is a Spark device, and thus has only one transmit path. This means you're connected to one technology at a time. When connected to LTE, you're only connected to LTE. No 1x.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
