Hello.

 

At my lake house (summer home), my Galaxy S4 is always connected to eHRPD, and my tower has had 3G and 800mHz upgrades. I always thought that eHRPD ran through LTE backhaul (or core), and if the LTE backhaul is in place, why wouldn't they have turned on LTE?

P.S. My tower is the Wolcottville, IN (46795) tower.

I think 800 is officially launched. I've actually been connected to 800 for the past 2 days lol.. only touched 1900 once and then went roaming on data and stayed on 800 voice xD

Not sure if Edwardsburg is part of the Ft. Wayne/South Ben Market or another. I see eHRPD every now and then for a brief moment on my HTC One SV but most of the time I am on 1xRTT here with boost mobile. I would assume my phone is looking for or has found a LTE signal when it switches to eHRPD but it finds a very weak one that quickly disappears and then it switches back to 1xRTT. But according to both the Sprint and Boost Mobile coverage maps I am suppose to be recieving LTE here at home since I live about a mile from the Michigan Indiana Border.

Is there any word on band 26 and 41 LTE deployment in Fort Wayne?

 

Schedules for these two bands are in the Premier Sponsor section.  Our members are not at liberty to discuss the info in there.

wow, that is an amazing win! Haha wow!! B41 will be started by summer, id imagine. When they took down the old antennas, they put up the equipment to hold the clearwire antennas :)

Oh no, not that yet. The metal pipe work that extends out from the tower that holds the equipment(atennas/RUUs). They put that up after they removed all of the old legacy equipment.

We got a schedule and accepted map of sprint 8t8r. So you could know about what time frame 8t8r will be going up and what has been accepted so far. If you upgrade to Premier Sponsor. Sadly the only thing I can tell you is that sprint is deploying 8t8r all over the united states. This I know sometimes can be a big step up from just being a member, but it is so worth it. I know a few guys who have went from member straight to Premier and they love being Premier member. They have not once regretted it :)

Oh believe me, if i had the extra cash for it, I would have. I love randomly checking out the towers for anything new. But with this 8t8r, It makes me want to do it even more.

Do people think that LTE service in fort Wayne is generally better than 6 months ago?? I'm out in aboite right now and its definitely way worse in the same spot than it was last spring....

B25/B26 were fully deployed back then. So it would only get worse not better. There are now a few B41 sites, so in those places it would be better for Triband devices.

 

Sprint service only improves by B41 capacity overlay in a mature B25/B26 market.

Not just speed is worse but general signal levels are worse too...

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
