Syph3r Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Since yesterday I have been experiencing dropped data/calls in different locations around town (home and work) and thought it was just my phone acting up. However, I confirmed with a few other friends around town that they have been experiencing the same issues. Is this the beginning of the NV upgrade in Jacksonville? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo31316 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I doubt it my voice service was down near my home for a couple days and I had an outage according to sprint the problem is fixed now. Btw I'm in Jacksonville too. Edited June 27, 2012 by tybo31316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Network Vision is just about to begin in the Jacksonville market. Subcontractors are mobilizing. But I would be surprised if they are doing anything right now that could lead to service disruption.

Syph3r Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 What is really weird is if I put my EVO in "CDMA/LTE" my data connection bounces from 1X to no data at all and I lose (EVDO) 3G altogether. However, if I put the Network Mode in "CDMA Only" 3G comes back and everything's normal. Until Monday, I have always had it in CDMA/LTE mode with no issues, why now???

S4GRU Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What is possible is that eHRPD upgrades could be happening in the market now. Have you ever had a confirmed eHRPD connection before? Robert via Kindle Fire using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syph3r Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yes when in CDMA/LTE mode it bounces from eHRPD to 1X RTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syph3r Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 All is back to normal. Back on CDMA/LTE mode with solid 3G signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren857 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Awww. I was about to get excited. LOL. -sent from my EVO LTE using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven800 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 All is back to normal. Back on CDMA/LTE mode with solid 3G signal. Do you get good 3G speeds in Jacksonville just about everywhere or does it suck pretty much everywhere just like the Majority of the Country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syph3r Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I average probably 0.40Mbps. It just depends on the location, some places I get over 1Mbps easy, others 0.03Mbps (mostly at like malls and movie theaters where the load on the towers is extremely heavy) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascertion Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 So excited. I'm at a friends house right now but I'll check my local tower later and see if Ehrpd is active there, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybo31316 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 What side of town were you on when you connected to ehrpd? Do you leave your phone on LTE/CDMA mode? Also does it cause any significant battery drain if left on? I leave my phone on cdma mode only because I knew it would be a while before I saw any lte.

Leaving it on LTE/CDMA hasn't made any noticeable impact on battery life. I'm sure it uses a little bit more, but like I said, my phone activity varies so it's nearly impossible to know 100% the impact it has. I'm in zip code 32259 btw. You'll only find eHRPD if you're on LTE/CDMA, otherwise you'll only find EvDo RevA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo31316 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks man I always leave my phone on cdma only because of my old WiMAX phones searching all day but I know the new LTE phones are better at scanning and uses less battery. I'm still paranoid from the past. I need all the battery life I can get. I'll run my phone in LTE/cdma and see what I can find around town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feech Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 So to see that do you randomly happen to look at your connection screen while connected? Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybo31316 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I've noticed on my EVO LTE my data connection doesn't go to 1x or no connection when in a low signal area when connected to eHRPD vs cdma only mode. The data problems were starting to get aggravating. So I guess I'll leave my phone on LTE/cdma for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data problems were starting to get aggravating. So I guess I'll leave my phone on LTE/cdma for the time being. Its still the same exact signal as before unless of course the tower was changed over to NV.
