AJ, thanks for the explanation.  It does appear that the folks at SPRINT themselves are a little behind in knowing what coverage is where....

 

i look forward to participating in the forums and learning more. 

 

We do have LTE coverage here, so I look forward to testing it out when I get my Samsung Victory.

I think I need to get a dislike button for the forums.   Robert

They are the towers of Barad-dûr and Orthanc.   AJ

The Greeneville tower was accepted a couple days ago along with one near Kingsport. Robert had them posted in the completed towers thread.

Hey Greg -  Someone pointed it out earlier, but Sensorly.com maps are going to be much more accurate in most cases.  They aren't perfect, but you can get a sense of what's been captured on a real device in the field.  Check it out and map some in the future if you discover new places. 

 

Nashville isn't completely covered, but there's a good bit of LTE around much of Nashville and down towards Murfreesboro.

As I find LTE coverage in Middle TN, I would like to add it to sensorly.

 

How does that work?  download an app?  How to you "add coverage" to the map when you discover it?

 

Thanks!

I see that 4G is showing up on I40 all the way to the mall, too bad my phone can't make a connection.

 

Mapped out some more in White Pine, and some spotty coverage around the Sevierville exit.

Where are you guys showing Sprint 4G LTE coverage in NASHVILLE? Are you sure you aren't misintrepreting that as WIMAX?

 

I don't see any 4g LTE coverage anywhere on the maps anywhere in the Nashville METRO area....

 

Columbia, Lewisburg, and Shelbyville are the only areas that show Sprint4GLTE coverage so far.

 

i'm getting a Samsumg Victory in a few days, so I will be able to report on the coverage here.

 

but.. I don't think Nashville has it yet.....

 

Nashville has the most 4G LTE in the whole state so far.

Sprint sometimes calls Middle TN the "NASHVILLE MARKET".

 

Sprint said today they had finished "Network Vision" in Lewisburg, Shelbyville, and Columbia.

 

With that said, LTE only reaches about 3-4 miles away from the tower. (only 1 tower upgraded in each city)

Might make some people happy but drove by the Hutchinson Ave tower this morning to find the spools of new coax, moving the cabinets into place, and of course the most important the guys assembling the antennas on the ground with all 3 ruus in place. And sorry for the bad pics I was zooming in from across the street. Posted ImagePosted Image

Are you having any problems connecting to 4G with that phone?

None at all so far. I'm loving the phone so far. It connects faster and holds it longer then my evo lte did. I'm glad I made the switch.

I'm about ready to make the switch, was in the tri-cities today and it is getting frustrating having to toggle airplane mode to make my phone connect. I just don't know if I can live without my sd card.

I thought the same thing at first but after transferring everything back to my phone adding some more apps and more music here's my free space left. And with Google Backups and Dropbox for documents and photos I'm good. Posted Image

The only problem is that I have a 64gb card and I have already used up 75% of it, I like the idea of Google Backups and Dropbox, but my spotty 3G would not make them a viable candidate at this time.

Went from Lewisburg, TN to Franklin, TN today . .

 

4G LTE in Columbia ..On Bear Creek Pike, was full bars, speed about 13mbps....., going up I65 into Spring Hill...... around 9mbps off Main St @ Target.

 

Going into Franklin.....Only 3G around Mallory Lane............. Picked up a 2 bar  4G LTE signal around BestBuy around Moores Lane.... Speed test 1.6mbps (ummm, isn't that a 3G speed)??  Maybe they aren't finished upgrading here...

 

Back home in Lewisburg, back to around 25mbps.

 

My data usage is only being calculated when on 3G... When i'm on 4GLTE, its appears to not be metered.

 

I have used almost 1GB in 6 days (mostly testing speeds). My usage online says i've used 11.5MB....

 

Haven't really figured out how to PLOT out 4G on Sensorly....

I'm on my 3rd HTC One, 2nd refurbished (don't ask). This one hasn't connected to any LTE in Maryville whatsoever.

 

Is anything wrong with the towers at the moment, or did I get another bad refurb?

If you want to add to the online maps, turn on your gps, launch the app, and select Map Trip, then hit Start.

      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.
