Network vision in progress in Lemont Illinois 60439

Just figured i would share for anyone in the area. In Lemont Illinois all 3 of the towers are having issues regarding routing calls and texts to newer devices (evo lte, Iphone, etc) so i called about it and the lady said it was due to the towers receiving the network vision upgrade and said they should be complete by september 7th. which i assume is a far over guesstimate considering the rate that they are pumping these upgrades out at. also when i called they compesated me by offering $5 off for the next 4 billing cycles and are going to call me in the coming days to talk with a diagnostic specialist and see what else they can do for me :)

i just said that it was annoying having to have to keep switching from force roam (so i can get my calls and texts) and switching back to sprint so i can use data and they just offered it so i said sure. also when they read me my msl so i can do a reset (just a reset of the radios and such, all data is preserved) they never questioned the fact that i was A. rooted/s-off and B. running a custom rom both of which can be determined by them if they wanted while poking around for my msl... haha

Your MSL is preset, they don't have to look at your phone, it's given to them by the OEM.

I doubt that the call center person cared that your phone was rooted, sprint typically does not seem to care as much about that as the other carriers. Now if something happens to your phone and you try and have it fixed at the sprint store, they might refuse to do the work because you voided the (insert excuse here)... lol

Kinda depends on the person working on the phone. Most of the techs at Sprint stores have their phones rooted already. So, they *should* know whether or not rooting caused a problem. Last year, I had to take my EVO to get serviced due to the micro USB port going bad and the phone wouldn't charge. They gave me a brand new EVO out of the box, never mentioned anything about my phone being rooted.

    • https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/t-mobile-gets-little-closer-accessing-its-25-ghz-spectrum-auction-108 Senator Kennedy's bill to grant the FCC temporary auction authority to finish processing the Auction 108 licenses it has sold to their proper licensees. This would greatly benefit T-Mobile.  This delayed process took what would have been a strategic advantage for T-Mobile (1 one year plus head start)  and turned into catch-up, since AT&T and Verizon haven been busy installing their c-band n77 in rural areas.
    • I configured -44/-3 scenarios on an Edge 2022 to be an invalid connection, so yes, it would show no service.. I didn't realize it was a frequent issue though. How certain are you about the other values? Perhaps they are just unchanged from the previous array of signal information that was reported? If that is the case, I can try to have the app discard -44/-3 datapoints and leave the screen unchanged. I worry about the slippery slope of having it display as -140, because that leads users to believe there is a -140 signal present, when in reality we don't know what the actual reading is.   Haha me and you both wish this!!!
    • Following up, I've gone into the office in person today and took my Edge with me. It looks like it now shows "No service" instead of the -44/-3 value.  I saw a lot of "no service" because it apparently does it a lot.  I'll check again on the train ride home later. Assuming I'm correct, is it possible to have some kind of middle ground on this?  I think it was showing other legitimate values, like the TA, even when it was showing -44/-3.  I'd prefer it show the data it has but at -140 dBm in those cases.  I recognize this could be a pain to implement, and if it is, then no worries, mostly curious. EDIT:  But now I'm sitting here thinking "what if the PCI is bad and I don't know it?"  But that can just as easily be the case on other phones that aren't caught.  I do regularly see bad PCI entries on my other devices, so maybe this isn't the best option.  Bleh, I wish this stuff just worked properly! - Trip
    • Forgot to follow up on this. The service was once again abysmal .
