Anyone lose service from the recent storms?

 

We had bad storms come through Friday June 29th in Ohio and lost power.

 

Sprint and AT&T has very spotty service now. Usually 4 bars of 3g. I only roam now and most of my calls fail.

 

It's 96 today and still no power, AEP says possibility of power restoration on July 8th.

Well towers usually have back up batteries and a generator or something like that from what I've heard else where but it might be cause of the tower went down or something fell on top of the equipment or something of that nature.

My daughter lives in Enon. She got power back last evening, never lost Sprint connection. Hope you get power back soon, must be miserable with the heat & humidity. :(

No you need a PC to do this. Here is the link for updating the PRL. What you can do is flash one of the 1111x PRL's which is a standard Sprint PRL but it allows 3G roaming instead of 1X so you could flash one of those PRL's and download Roam Control for $3.99 and force roaming when you need it. I just set it up on my EVO LTE yesterday with PRL 11119 and can force roam to Verizon with 3G when I need to. Works much better than flashing an actual Verizon PRL because you can go back and forth on Sprint and Verizon without flashing a new PRL each time.

      I really apreciate no longer seeing n38 for T-Mobile. My s24 Ultra is reporting that Signalcheck Pro is crashing frequently.  It has the latest updates. I do occassional change sims and band preferences. Let me know if you need anything else.   Thanks.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
