LTE IS LIVE!

I'm not sure, as I just began to use Netmonitor and that was the first reading I got. The tower readings seem to show EvDo rev.A (Sprint) when they're not showing eHRPD, if that helps.

 

Yes, eHRPD will substitute for EVDO to facilitate handoffs from LTE connections. Non-LTE phones would probably just see EVDO.

 

You might try CDMA Field Test instead, which actually captures the connection type in its log. FWIW, I don't like Netmonitor anyway for privacy reasons.

Thanks for the suggestion. For some reason, the Play Store is saying that CDMA Field Test is not compatible with my Sprint Galaxy Nexus? It will, however, let me load it on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet, so I guess I can locate the .apk and sideload it on my Nexus and give it a shot.

 

Was not aware of privacy issues with Netmonitor, so thanks for the head's up.

It's compatible with my SIII

I use CDMA Field Test on my GNex and it works great. I don't know why it says it's not compatible in the Play Store.

Ben...

 

That YouTube vid (from KC, if I recall correctly) was previously posted a few times several days ago. But I am glad you posted it again, as you got me to watch it this time. I especially liked the simultaneous speed tests that dropped to ~16 Mbps per handset, showing that both handsets were still each getting 2x2 MIMO and together saturating the sector downlink.

Damn, I hate being the guy who repeats a post. Glad it worked out this time, though. lol Just with all the growth here lately, its hard for me to keep up with everything.

Everyone please update their Sprint "Profile" under settings->about phone which will help with faster speeds. Please watch this video and listen around the 1:00 mark.

Easier and faster than updating profile, Robert also mentions this on the wall, that switch network type to cdma/lte, lte only or switching from and back to cdma/lte/evdo will sometimes get you a lte connection.

 

I am working with an app called Sensorly on the market. This app is used by regular users like us to make the coverage maps. I emailed the app developer and asked when he would add Sprint's lte in there and be said very very soon and to go ahead and keep recording the data and when he adds lte it will automatically add our records to the map. I would hope everyone will help map our coverage because, let's face it, not one carrier has an accurate coverage map.

 

Check the app out. You'll probably see true coverage for your area.

 

Sorry for the sales pitch but we really need accurate maps.

Yeah but what you are proposing is not practical since ideally you want to have both voice and data capabilities. If you switch to LTE only, you only have data capability. I have read what Robert has posted before but if updating your profile can help fix some weak LTE problems then that should be used since you only need to update your profile when you have a new PRL.

Ok then just toggle airplane mode.

 

Updating your profile is only helping lte connections because it turns data off then when turning on it will search for lte first.

 

If want lte with calls and texts use the cdma/lte network option. If you just want to play with, test or just experiment then lte only is the best way to go.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
