Network Vision/LTE - Lower Central Valley Market (Fresno, Bakersfield, Visalia)

The hidden sprint menu shows band 41 but LTE discovery shows band 25.

 

What PLMNID ( 310-120 or 311-490/870) does it show and what's your approximate location?

 

If it shows PLMNID 310-120 then that's Sprint 8T8R 2.5 equipment and you might as well go get Signal Check Pro which now shows Band 41 identification for Sprint 8T8R equipment.

Band 41 will be my white rhino for now as it seems to be hiding right now. I got band 41 while waiting to pick up my son from school which is about a mile away from the tower. I am now further away at home which is about 2.5 miles away and signal strength drops a lot.

You are not on Band 41.

I wish i knew at the time (i know now) how to take a screen when band 41 was on the hidden menu. The speed was pretty fast and i know think when its hitting those crazy 17 mpbs it must be on that bad. As i have mentioned in the past, i hiy those speeds occasionly about once every 10 days or so.

I told you that Christmas was 2 months away about a week ago, and now look, an early present for you! You're welcome!

When can I expect for it to be done and broadcast LTE? I take it the Exeter tower off 198 will launch when farmersville tower is done?

I don't know when the Exeter tower will be done, but I wouldn't be surprised if the farmersville site is live before the end of the year, and if not, then no later than February.

Anyone ever see something like this just took snapshot before it went back to 3g any idea why it would do that

Seems like Signal Check Pro got stuck for some reason. You might want to post that in the Signal Check thread and see if Mike can diagnose that. I do see that you do have a Spark compatible phone, so it's weird it did that.

Yet its always had 3 panel don't understand why we can't have more panels like other towers have

Because they don't need anymore.

 

More is not better.

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