That's not a bad signal. The signal I had at home in KC hovered around -105 and gave me great speeds. -120 is when it starts to get really weak. I believe it's anything -95 or better that is considered a strong signal. AJ might have to correct me on that.

why do i feel like we're the last living humans and we're reporting zombie sightings? sorry for the digression.

 

If a sprint rep was to answer this. "Sir, I am sorry you feel that way". :)

First time I've heard of the EVO referred to as "the shittiest phone".

 

The more HTC is delaying a software fix, the more you will hear it, as far as lte connection is concerned. I feel like this has the attitude that its too good for all those gees. :)

I've been following this thread for a number of weeks. I'm in Westwood near UCLA and have been pining for a glimmer of LTE in my neighborhood, but have been out of luck. On a business trip with a stopover in Atlanta I got some there. Upon landing on the return into LAX this evening when I fired up the phone, voila!, at least 360 seconds of LTE before dropping back to 3G. I tracked my trip home (LAX to Westwood) with Sensorly and saw some 4G points racked up.

Did you intend to post your phone number below your avatar??

I actually wanted the EVO, glad I didnt get it now upon hearing about its LTE issus. My iPhone has NO issues as far as LTE is concerned. The radio is better than Sammies too :D

well i have the S III and so far it gets LTE right away without do anything.

This was a speed test by the San Gabriel Country Club. These are very good 3g speeds. No ehrpd signal though.ja9uhapu.jpg

That was a high 3G speed

My phone is currently using the LIF modem which seems to take between 1-2 minutes to acquire the 4g signal on its own on its initial search.

 

I'd be curious to know if there is a method to changing the LTE settings so that the phone could acquire the signal faster. I recall there was a way to do such a thing for the Wimax settings on the EVO OG.

 

I want to know what is your experience on 4g while driving in areas known to be covered, according to sensorly.

So far, none that we know of. Everything people have tried does not work.

Hello you guys I'm new here.. It's a little off topic but just wanted to ask is it a good sign if you get ehrpd for one week then all of a sudden it goes back to evdo? Cause I had noticed over here in santa Ana there was ehrpd then all of a sudden my phone can't find that tower or signal and it's at evdo again. What does that mean?

What you described is what I, and some other posters, experienced when doing speed tests on our LTE phones in various areas in the LA market over the past several weeks prior to the LTE signal being released to consumers.

 

ehrpd was captured by my phone when I was at Disneyland over a month ago. So LTE may be available soon at the Mouse's House? Or it may be a year from now? I certainly do not know. But it's a positive sign for Santa Ana that ehrpd is there.

 

Robert, aka Lord of S4GRU, has posted his thoughts about ehrpd many times on this form. Run a search and you'll have plenty of information to draw your own conclusion.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
