S4GRU Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 So is there a thread for South Jersey, or would we discuss that area here? http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2166-network-visionlte-central-southern-jersey-market/ Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MReiser4670 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yeah I am just getting impatient, 3G is pretty good for me but I want the speed of LTE. Trust me, I'm with you. I've been very jealous of my wife with her iPhone 5 on Verizon flaunting all that 4G coverage. That being said, it's now a struggle to keep her data usage under 2GB so unlimited data on Sprint is going to be an even better deal soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it's now a struggle to keep her data usage under 2GB so unlimited data on Sprint is going to be an even better deal soon! I think of the damage I can do on LTE with truly unlimited data, I pull about 2GB a month on 3G (1.5-2.5Mbps on average) right now lol.

Eventual LTE is what kept me holding on. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2 Edited March 14, 2013 by ScandaLeX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcybokjr Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 There are a ton of lte gaps in my neighborhood, with the easy sensorly looks there may be some there, I plan on driving all through Olney and Logan today mapping every step of the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcybokjr Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 More towers must have just been turned on! I NOW HAVE LTE AT WORK!!! What a good day! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonxtz Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Is that around north philly? I was hoping south philly around Oregon was turned on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonxtz Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 And did u map it on sensorly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiwhatsup Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 More towers must have just been turned on! I NOW HAVE LTE AT WORK!!! What a good day! Where do you work? Sensorly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiwhatsup Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Is that around north philly? I was hoping south philly around Oregon was turned on There is a small blip on sensorly for south philly (around washington & 21st) that showed up today. I live a few blocks away so I'll check it when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcybokjr Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Well I work around Oxford circle in the northeast, Oxford and levick, I tried to map it, but I'm assuming since I'm not moving around it isn't doing anything. I will map it I on the way home for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcybokjr Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 It actually did register, zoom all the way in on the intersection of Oxford and levick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAngel Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) This is exciting but still nothing for me lol. And apparently you can't map on sensorly for iOS. Edited March 14, 2013 by BlueAngel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcybokjr Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I was just going to ask if anyone was having problems mapping, I hit start and it just hangs at 0 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiwhatsup Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 This is exciting but still nothing for me lol. And apparently you can't map on sensorly for iOS. I'm in the same boat. I might just activate my old EVO LTE while they're deploying in Philly just so I can map on sensorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcybokjr Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 So I just got home and my 4g stayed up, I had Pandora on and it was working flawlessly. Sensorly for whatever reason would not let memap at all, could someone with an android try and let me know if it is the app today, or something on my end? Also my 4g icon it's still up at home, but the internet isn't working at all. When I tried a speedtest, it didn't make it past the ping check.

gnuf Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Can't help but be happy how this is coinciding with the Galaxy S4 launch today. I was seriously considering leaving Sprint when I upgraded to the S4, but now it looks like I may stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcybokjr Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 So I'm a dummy and Sensorly won't map if you are below a certain battery percentage, so I just got home from a map trip and my entire neighborhood is lit. It isn't showing on the map yet, but my 4g measurement was 417. Check out the Olney area later tonight, hopefully it'll be up by then.

BlueAngel Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm noticing my 3G status bar is disappearing from time to time like its tying to connect to LTE but it just goes back to 3G, perhaps this is a sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting this as well. Also, when I cycle through airplane mode when in the vicinity of an LTE tower, it takes 30 seconds or more to reconnect to 3G or pick up 4G. Normally that cycle takes 10 seconds or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jami1 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Something wierd happened when I was sitting in my car.. I am located in NE philly close to NJ... about 4 miles from Tacony Bridge.. My phone picked up 4g. I did a speed test and it was very slow.... Less than a megabit. I am going to see if I can get the signal back. This must have just happened as I never got a 4g signal here before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcybokjr Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Where is HappyHappy? He was so pessimistic about the rollout, I would love to hear from him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted20V Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Where is HappyHappy? He was so pessimistic about the rollout, I would love to hear from him. I was feeling rebel rouser-ish earlier and wanted to post that clearly now this thread is filled with Sprint employees. Turns out when I see upgraded NV antenna's all over the Philly market, it WAS a good sign that much progress was being made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must have just happened as I never got a 4g signal here before. Probably fringe signal. I'm assuming the ping was still quite low though?
