I feel like I hit the Jackpot... Lol.... I have a high priority ticket open with Sprint Exec care and they forwarded my ticket to the local Ericsson tech. He called me directly. He was so impressed

This has nothing to do with what you pay for. The deployment is nowhere near done in Orlando. The speeds are because half the towers in the city have been upgraded. So 100,000 LTE users are being c

I was at EPCOT Saturday and maintained a fairly steady 4g throughout the park, It was even usable most of the time. Nice change from the last time I was at that park in April.

Yeah, Sprint has overall done a commendable job getting the Disney area to a more usable state, especially considering how unbearable it used to be. They need to get the tower south of AK done and then roll out LTE800 to really get the park covered though, as a lot of the bigger buildings and foliage really break down that 1900 LTE signal.

I was propositioned by a hooker on the OBT 22 years ago, the weekend after I got my drivers license. Glad to see things haven't changed after all these years. SMH

Reminds me of the great LTE coverage in Atlanta. Too bad I have no desire to live in GA.

I was in Chicago for the last 3 weeks and I enjoyed some great LTE and 1X800 out there.. But I'm back in Orlando now and I noticed that there has been some significant work done on a cell tower site behind the UCF Stadium on W Plaza Drive. I'm 90% certain it is a Sprint site.. Here's a picture. You can see on the middle rack that they have new antennas and what looks to be two RRU's per antenna. Before I left the middle rack had only a few legacy antennas. It's not activated for LTE yet but I'm pretty sure they are super close to turning it on.

Was over there the other day in Hercules...at least I think thats what its called. Friends have an apartment thing there, and I had excellent coverage. Even clocked 2 mb down on 3g. Is it bad that everywhere I go if I notice the signal appears to be better I test the data speeds. LOL

Resistance is futile.

Eventually our obsession with LTE...we will just be assimilated into the towers...Either electronically or literally fused to the tower itself. Yup.

They'll give us backpack femtocells to carry around that are powered by walking.

I have Sprint 4g one minute then I roam on Metro then Verizon. Service in the south end of Sanford near the college, is really fluctuating.

Mine is almost the same, except I have sprint 4g for about 1 microsecond, and then roam, and then back to 3G and my bars shoot up. LOL

That's strange. Something is up with the 1x in your area. It's possible they're making the switch from Legacy to NV 3G. I noticed some huge issues like that east of where I live when they switched over to NV 3G. It took a couple of days, but it went back to normal once the switch was finished.

This is what happens when:
A: A 4G tower bursts into flames
B: A 4G tower is overloaded
C: Sprint decides to start messing with me
D: A 4G tower doesn't actually have backhaul yet.

Wonder which?

I'm noticing little bugs here and there with Voice service in my area as of late. Makes me think perhaps they're doing testing as sometimes I can't place calls until I've reached a different tower than the one near me.

All of the above. Also, I drop calls on m 3rd floor apartment that overlooks a forest of nothingness and no buildings, multiple times a day. It is intriguing on how thats even possible...being on the 3rd floor. Apparently Sprint forgot about the other side of Waterford

      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.
