The complaints in this thread need to stop. They violate posting rules, as S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints.   Several of you should consider becoming sponsors, thus having access to our Netwo

Tech support was no help. They are saying 24 to 72 hours. Makes you think what could be? Cold weather LOL? Maybe we are about to have some 800 service.

I have data back (for) now l, I did notice slower let on white horse rd today when I tested it. Maybe the late coverage will improve over this upgrade period.

Hoping that this network vision help coverage, especially in buildings. If there weren't trees in the day I probably could see the closest tower to me about a mile away. So far I have decent 3g at my work which is good.

Been getting alerts from Signal Check Pro about 1x 800 coverage in the Columbia area. Phone seems to treat it like a roaming condition as it tries to cycle to a different tower or frequency so it may have pretty low priority in the PRL.

AJCola dose your Sprint zone app under my device, then dashboard, then voice network say any tickets like the one I posted a pic of the other day? I looked at a friend's Sprint gs3 and it had nothing under it for network upgrades but I have noticed it has been better than usual. The ticket is supposed to be closed tomorrow as far as a voice and data issue and the network vision ticket also, I'll keep y'all posted of it dose and if I see an improvement.

My voice coverage has gotten better but no 800 yet, although I wish I could say the same for data. Although my 3g speeds have been fluctuating, sometimes over 1.5mbps others barely 0.05mbps. I still yet to find out who's new tower is going up on ceader lane road near riverside family restaurant, a cross from it actually.

Cleartalk? I'm gonna have to look them up never heard of them. I was hoping it was a Sprint tower. Sent from my LG G2 on the Now Network

It's a prepaid provider - I.... Think...

 

 

On an unrelated note, the tower just off 378 in West Columbia across from the Jersey Mike's is now LTE live.

 

Not as fast as I'd expect, but faster than 3G. I mapped I-26 to Downtown on Sensorly this afternoon as well. Didn't get a gap in LTE even on my HTC ONE that is notorious for lack luster LTE reception.

That's plenty fast! That's 8.95 Mbps. Maybe it'd help to switch from kilobytes per second to megabits per second in the app.

I'm not running a Sprint / Samsung Touchwiz ROM so I cannot answer for those applications.  However, the following link should display the same information you are asking about.  Not much regarding NV of late for me.  Have dropped calls now and previously may have been tower under upgrades.

File size is in bytes... I like the math better to see it in kilobytes.

 

 

But, compared to this result I pulled from tower CR04AW453 just down the road from this new tower, it's about 66% slower.

You are getting awesome speeds. 23Mbps! I just think that in measuring internet speeds, megabits per second is the standard. In measuring file download speed, we look at kilobytes per second or megabytes per second because we know how large the file we are downloading is.

You can use Bytes over Bits for your personal use. But please don't post screen shots here in Bytes. It confuses people, because everyone else posts in bits. And it gives the impression that Sprint's speeds are slow, when in reality 23Mbps is a very good result on a 5MHz carrier. And I can tell you everyone who has ever posted here a screen shot from another provider did so using bits. Thanks.

      My S24 Ultra and my two S22s are uploading and working properly today, as another data point.

      My hope is they can spot something in the data that was exported. I am going after all 4 carriers on a multitude of phones and Android versions. My S24 did work.  I have not checked another S24 or S22.  S21s failed which are on Android 14 as well. It should be noted I did not reboot after updates and some of the data was captured on the prior update. Data from some new Boost Mobile Dish (Echostar) sites in the Wheeling area did make it in. Was hoping for more SA data from the duo. Many of the phones are just LTE.

      I was traveling for a couple of days.   Sunday evening, I upload from 3 phones.  A S-22 and two Moto 5G phones.  Everything looked ok.    How do we explain that?   One person has issues and another person does not.  All my phones have the latest update.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!
