OMG thats great , & you didn't even have all ur bars it'd be awesome if if could go up to 3up & 2 down , at that point Sprints 3G would be better than Verizon's cause their 3G is bunz

I was on lunch today at tmobile checking out their plan prices. One of the reps came up and asked what service you on? I said Sprint and she immediately went on this rant on how sprint is slow, ouch

First off. You need to read up a bit more before you start complaining about speeds.Sprints 5x5 has a maximum theoretical output of 37.5mbps DL and ~ 14 mbps UL. The theoretical maximum is the absolut

According to Sensorly, LTE has been mapped up to a block from where I love but I don't connect and neither does my father's Note 2. My guess is someone got the signal and kept it for a long while but the signal is too weak for my phone to pick up on it from this far away.
Have you tried your device in 4G LTE only mode?

You can. Just upload your image to your public folder, then copy the public link and embed into your post like you would any other image.

This is the only reason I'm not upset about 4G going in and out.

If 4G is faster for you, and you have no WiFi available, you can firce your phone into 4G LTE only mode.

I have the galaxy. How do I force it in 4g mode only?

You have to get an app called "Get My MSL" before opening the app, go to your dialpad and enter ##702146# then run the app. After you have your MSL# go to the dialer and type in ##DATA# and go to Edit and enter your MSL then go to Others and then into HDR/1X Selection and pick LTE Only mode and save.

P.S. You might not be able to make phone calls/text when in LTE only mode. But you can always revert. Thanks

I'm impressed, the whole Washington heights seems like is lte covered. About 4 towers have been built in the last week and a half.

I did a lot of inwood this past week. Was pleasantly surprised I got a lot of coverage indoors uptown. My mom's place had horrible 3g. Now I get decent lte there.

I was by the projects(138th/Bronx), and decided to do a speed test. I kept getting this odd result on the middle of the street:

My joked that's its because most people are probably facetime-ing inappropriate material. I also notice most of the area seems unmapped. I try to do it next time I take my girlfriend to the area( she gets her nails done there, because it normally costs her $70 by where she lives, but $30 there).

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.

      will this work for service in a plane?

      T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.

      So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
