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.

For the first time I noticed some small cells in West L.A. So far, the parts of the city that have multiple deployments include: Koreatown, parts of Hollywood, NoHo and now West LA. There's probab

I am failing to see the point of posting repetitive bad 3G speed tests. We all experience poor Sprint 3G performance in many places on the network. Help me to understand how this is helpful or goes

1x800 in Hawaiian Gardens! As close as I have seen to SBC so far. Might just be testing because it keeps going back and forth to 1xRTT.

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

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

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.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
