Was at Wal-Mart today, -90 ish dBm. I guess that's better than 3g. I wonder if the tower just hasn't had backhaul yet, also if a tower dose not have back haul will it have a stronger signal(more range) once it has full back haul and calibrated?

No, sites do not go live without the appropriate backhaul in place. It is possible that the carrier on that site is overloaded. It will help when all sites in the are live, and the additional LTE bands have been brought online.

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

I confirmed GMO band 25 LTE on a site in Myrtle market last night. Finally.

It's gonna be a long time before I see spark in my area. I have notice my signal would totally drop and data will to for about 5 to 10 seconds then come back. Its been doing that more in the past few days. Even my dad on boost has had issues with signal but as far as I can tell there aren't any tickets open right now. I'm hoping all the issues mean upgrades to towers and optimizing them.

Here's hoping definitely!

All the towers around my area are LTE live, except for the one covering my home. Yay for my awesome luck :P

That's almost the season with me, sensorly shows lte very close to me but have yet to pick it up at home. At work I have to step outside since I work in a metal building and then it's only 1 or 2 bars.

They keep giving me mixed answers, and it's getting on my nerves. First it's in the process of converting over, and now it's not until late spring or early summer they'll begin work on it... -_- ffs

Yeah it's aggravating me more and more when I'll randomly drop all data and voice for a few seconds maybe 10 at the most and it will come back like nothing's wrong. So far tonight at work I'll drop everything for a few minutes and then it will come back. I don't know if this is my phone or the network, I don't remember my old note 2 doing this at all. Maybe it has something to do with me having a tri-band phone Idk. I just hope it improves by summer time.

This is exactly what is happening on my new Galaxy Mega -- I see you mentioned your "old Note 2".. what are you using now?  I wasn't having this problem on my Galaxy S4 -- I am not sure if I am getting this due to ( a ) Network issues (they are going crazy on 800 here right now)    ( b ) A phone problem   or    ( c ) A tri-band issue....

Well old note 2 as in my old phone before my g2. I'm kinda leaning towards tri-band or network some, sometimes I think the phone tries to connect to lte when there's a weak signal but enough to make the phone think it can switch but then says nope not a good signal and goes back to 3g. I'd be thrilled to see any kind of 800 but if I even get a. 0001% band 41 or 26 I'm gonna be happier than a Asian school girl lol.

That makes sense... I have an LTE site about 7 miles away... And I wonder if my signal booster and that site are causing my phone to do exactly what you are saying... That and an 1x800 site that I keep switch to and from... And a neighbors 2.5 airave... And my 2.0 airave... And two other 1x1900 sites around 5 miles away...

 

Oh and I was confused because your profile still shows Note 2, just FYI...

Yeah I need to change that haha, but yeah I rarely get lte that's why I'm guessing that, I can get a bar or two if I'm at work outside or if I'm at cherrydale or white horse rd I'll have lte and as far as I know I haven't seen it go out then come back like 3g dose.

After some thought, I am not thinking it is the LTE search thing -- because I tried to set my phone to CDMA only and it still did the quick drop thing (if LTE is disabled, it shouldn't search for it)... So I am thinking it is a combination of my Airave (2.0), my neighbors (Airave 2.5) being picked up quite strongly through my signal booster, and the weak 1x800 signal I am getting in the area...

I'll have to test it with lte disabled and see if it still drops. I'm wondering if it's a phone software issue or radio software issue kinda thing.

I can't so far at least still say on CDMA only it still disconnects for a few seconds then reconnects.

Sorry for double post but I can't seem to edit my post on tapatalk, don't see the edit button.

Anyway sorry for the bad spell correction in the first post. I have been using cdma only and still have the issue where it would drop data and voice then a few seconds later come back. Its not as frequent as the lte/cdma mode but still present. I'm puzzled now in what it could be.

      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.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
