On Saturday, I took a trip over to UTD and here are three tests I ran:     ----   Then today, while I was out running an errand in Lewisiville, near Vista Ridge Mall, I noticed 4G was on! Cause

Well now I am back in the office, and the phone indicates 4 bars, but when I tested calling my phone it did not ring.  This is all very frustrating.  Maybe because I need to switch the phone back to global from CDMA/LTE?  If im going to have to manually switch every day this is going to be a problem.

How long has Wi-Fi calling been active on your account? Less than a few days, then you may want to do this from the dialer screen:

 

##72786#

And let your phone re provision itself.

thanks I'll try that!

 

 

Edit: still won't send

Did you happen to read AJ's post above?

I was just trying to understand the point in your post.

 

 

S4GRU is not a Sprint recruitment nor retention site. It is an education site. If you wish to educate yourself, become an S4GRU sponsor -- to help the non profit site defray its significant costs -- and learn where the Sprint sites are in your area(s) of interest and which sites have been Network Vision upgraded.

Maybe move this to the DFW thread? Maybe the peers for DFW can give him more local insight non locals can't?

Sprint is the tale of two networks in Dallas. In some ways the triband is great and I switch between the bands seamlessly. In other cases, I have 0mbps or am roaming. Have to say though, a few well places B26 and B41 sites will fix 'er right up!

Agreed. I have similar issues as well.

Can't tell you how giddy I am this week. I walked into a Sprint store this past weekend and upgraded my S3 to a Nexus 6. Wonderful phone. My office sits just off Valley View on the East side of DFW and is notorious for no signals (sprint,ver,att). 11 years I've worked here and little to no signal, even outside. Here is what my N6 has been latched onto the last two days.

There is just no going back once you get a Triband phone in an area with multiple LTE bands.  :tu:

Congrats! I expected DFW to be better covered by B41 when I recently went from the S3 to the GN4 but I live a little south of 20 and I never see it unless I go to north Dallas and some parts of southeast Dallas.

Got some CA today off of Heritage Trace and Denton Highway. Didn't stick long enough to get a speed test.

From my experience you will need to have -99 RSRP or better for CA to stick. I usually drop CA at -100 RSRP or worst on my S6.

Texas is by far sprint's strongest market.

Just returned from my Dallas trip.  I found data reliability and speeds to be mediocre (compared to LTE Plus coverage I am used to in DC + Indianapolis).

      T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach

      Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

      Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
