You can reach out to the user S4GRU. He is a bit busy at work right now, so he may not respond for a few days.

 

Ok Thanks. I've went ahead and used the receipt I received through paypal to email him my information for on here. But

 

We haven't seen anything for this week yet, but good chunks of urban Richmond and western Richmond proper are complete. I'd highly recommend upgrading to Sponsor to get a better picture.

 

I assume you only have the single-band version of the GS4? (e.g. you don't have the spinning Spark logo?)

The single band version you were referring to...how do I find out that information?

The app points to your 1x connection, not your LTE connection. LTE does not broadcast a location.  I maintain you are not connecting to the site that you think you are.   Sent from my LG G3

Hey guys... Don't think this was mentioned, but LTE is showing up in the area of Staples Mill Rd (near Anthem) to Mr. Sub on W. Broad St. From W. Broad to Westwood Ave to Saunders Ave (past the Richmo

Yes, do not make a post just to announce that you are going to leave.  S4GRU is not Sprint, and we do not host Sprint complaints here.   AJ

Nah guy they are updated on a Map, but not in service unless you live in Glen Allen or the West  End. 

Catch a flight at the Airport you going to get LTE service. 

Highland Park and Northside got so many holes...This rollout is eerily starting to feel like the roll out in Norfolk.

I had that problem out Midlothian Sunday evening. 

Funny thing I couldn't even send pics under wifi neither. I didn't get that part. Everything is working...I can get on the net...make phone calls...get on FB, IG etc...just can't send any pics. When I try to send pics I get the network error message popup.

Have you done a profile refresh? MMS can act funky, on its own, during the conversion. Honestly, not sure why.

Well, look what popped up on my drive home to Richmond.

I was on 460 between Lynchburg and Appomattox.

 

First instance of 1x800 I've had anywhere.

Just got LTE further down Shockoe Bottom today. I've been trying to map it, but it's not collecting the data as well as I'd hoped. 

That's the tower on on Grace and it's been flaky every since it launched, if they get some back haul out the tower were Child Savers aka the Old radio station is located  it would help out the bottom.

I have no idea which Kroger you are talking about because Winterpock rd doesn't touch Midlothain trpk. Only tower work that been done has been around 23225,23235, 23113, and 23114. 

 

 

You guys really should update your profile because it make it easier to figure out where you are talking about.  Just putting Richmond and you don't live in Richmond makes about as much sense as Putting D.C. in your location and you live in Manassas Park.

Hardly. That's not the one on grace street I can confirm that. I believe this is one is on commerce street. When I go there this evening, I'll check signal check pro to verify it's location.

Do that because I have a friend that lives on Maury street and she is not picking up any LTE on her phone

In all fairness, I actually live in the District unlike those NoVA posers... :)

Thanks for all the threads they were very helpful. I recommend the SignalCheck Pro app to EVERYONE I know. I was so used to enabling Wi-Fi when I got home I was in shock when the app notified me LTE was available! If you live in Midlothian, I have mapped LTE starting at Midlothian Middle School. (I haven't gone past Salisbury so I don't know how far towards Powhatan it stops) thanks again for everyones help.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
