Yes, eHRPD is a good indication that LTE is on the way in the near future.

No, it does not mean LTE is coming in the near future. It is coming, but it could be another year, maybe more. I have been on ehrpd for over a year and just saw the first sites lit up in September, and still, less than 10% of my market. It's just a software upgrade, and doesn't indicate active work.

 

We are nearing the point of NV where everything is "near future", but don't think that means a few weeks, could easily still be many more months.

In all seriousness, here is a comprehensive understanding of eHRPD:   For the most part, eHRPD is EVDO-A. Both are 3G CDMA technology. EVDO is a High Rate Packet Data technology, and eHRPD is Evol

Looks like someone is on Santa's naughty list. Only good subscribers are allowed to keep eHRPD.

 

Yes, only the good subs get the eHERPIES.  And then they die young -- because only the good die young.

At least that means we don't have to worry about upcoming phone teasers going away.  :P

 

Are you suggesting that I am not good, not young, or both?

Is there any correlation between eHRPD and a site being 3G accepted?

None. Sprint deployed eHRPD on all remaining legacy sites that could run it in the first half of 2013. So most legacy sites are running eHRPD now.

We had the same thing happen here in New Mexico this morning. This is common for eHRPD to come and go after it shows up in markets.

 

Oops found my phone.

I have a question that hopefully someone can help me with.

 

I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in the Harrisburg PA (Shentel) area.  When I am in an area that has poor 4G LTE coverage, my phone has been falling back to EV-DO instead of eHRPD. 

 

I checked in the DATA screen and found that eHRPD is indeed enabled.  I then checked in the DEBUG screen and looked under eHRPD.  I found that is lists "APN:  Need to fix".

 

I performed a hands free activation on the device to re-aquire what I thought it may need or be missing, but no change. 

 

Does anyone know why it would list the APN error and why I am falling back to EV-DO instead of eHRPD?

 

Thanks for any help.

That is not an error.  It is just the same Samsung "enginerring" for everyone.

Thank you for that AJ.  Any idea though why I fall back to EV-DO instead of eHRPD?

It happens. If for whatever reason your handset cannot tunnel through to the 4G core, it gets EV-DO.

Thanks for the help AJ!

 

My LG G2 will acquire eHRPD and 1x800 whereas my GN3 will use 1xRTT and EV-DO. Perhaps it is because of the weaker RF performance of the G2

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
