Dkoellerwx Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Based on the photo it would appear you were using Wifi, what speeds do you get with wifi turned off? It was on WiFi when he took the screen shot. Look at the Network type: EvdoA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThorson Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) It was on WiFi when he took the screen shot. Look at the Network type: eHRPD. Thanks, I was just about to say that. If you look at the network like Dkoellerwx said you can see it was 3G when I ran the test. EvdoA to be exact.

RP88 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Odds are you were hitting the tower serving Kent's east hill (the first one to appear in Washington) Did you map it with Sensorly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwdk98003 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 My wife works in top floor of convention center in Seattle and she tole me that she got a 4g connection for few seconds. This happened Wednesday last week. FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumbershoot Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I got a pretty good LTE signal on the ferry ride from Fauntleroy in West Seattle to Vashon Island this morning. The speeds and quality diminished the closer we got to Vashon, but speeds were very good just offshore from the Fauntleroy dock. I took this screenshot of my LTE Engineering screen, if it helps identify the tower. I suppose it's the tower in Burien. Mapped on Sensorly. I think I can definitely report that this is the Burien site that I'm seeing from the north end ferry dock on Vashon Island. This morning, I had a solid 4G signal until a ferry boat landed, blocking a direct line of sight to Burien, at which point the 4G signal dropped and 3G signal returned. When that boat left and the line of sight returned, so did the 4G signal. The distance appears to be slightly over six miles, as the crow flies.

tommy24 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well white center has 4g now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumbershoot Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well white center has 4g now I see on the Sensorly map that the City of Seattle has purple areas extending barely across the city limits, both in Lake City and White Center. It's good to see the purple swatches growing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwdk98003 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Consistent 4g in Bothell off of 228th and bothell everett hwy. I am going to try to map it tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howzat999 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The weather in Olympia has been rainy most of the week and I've not been motivated to look for signals. A few days ago I mapped a trip from home and when I got to my destination, Sensorly indicated 20 LTE points so I uploaded it. To my surprise, the map showed this was really close to my house which is about 6 miles from the LTE tower in Lacey. I've since found that I can get a weak signal from my house. Nothing inside, but if I run LTE discovery from my back or front doors it finds LTE. when I run a speed test, it often bombs out when trying the upload part though. attached are a couple of screen shots. Any comments from the experts about the signal strength or other info from these? I can't wait for a closer tower to become active.

Rawberrie Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Sorry new user here. While at my job in Downtown Seattle I was up on our roof 50 stories up and to my surprise got a pretty decent LTE Signal. I loaded up sensorly and got a couple points but was limited to just walking on the roof. My building is on the corner of 4th and Madison across from the public library. Anyway got a couple points on sensorly and ran a couple speed tests but this was only with like 2-3 bars and Speedtest.net app was with no bars. Signal strength dropped like a rock randomly but it still stayed connected for a good 15 minutes till I was bored and got down from the roof and no signal inside the building sadly. Looks promising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Newhart Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Rawberrie, good stuff, I think the signal strength is showing 3G strength and not 4G. I wonder if you were connected to a site being worked on as your phone didn't have EVDO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawberrie Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Yeah it was really strange I usually never get a 3G signal up there but went up yesterday to check on something and pulled my phone out and it said 4G. I'll try again later today to see if the signal is back and try to get a better idea of what direction it is coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I wonder if you were connected to a site being worked on as your phone didn't have EVDO. Rawberrie could not be connected to EV-DO because his handset was connected to LTE. Most devices that support SVDO, including the Galaxy S3, put LTE and EV-DO on the same radio path, hence cannot run both simultaneously.

neophaze Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 LTE in Port Orchard got this off Lund Road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawberrie Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks AJ for clearing that up I found it really odd at first but your explanation makes perfect sense. My Sensorly finally updated so there should be 3 purple circles smack dab in the middle of Seattle but don't come rushing out trying to map it because once I hit our 40th floor the signal drops beyond the threshold for at least my phone to connect to it no matter what I tried so I don't know. I walked around a couple blocks trying to make my phone connect to it on ground level with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RP88 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Noticed those yesterday after you posted about it. But they only showed on one zoom level, real close like 2 or 3 in from max zoom. Appears to be visible on three levels now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
