Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

Actually, if it's not supported, it's more than likely an Apple restriction. Google supports it just fine on Android, and if they could they would on iOS. Apple likely didn't let them add it.

But if other apps support it, I doubt it's an Apple restriction.

 

I'm actually surprised this restriction is exclusive to the iPhone, but if it was Google's decision I wouldn't be shocked if the restriction comes to Android as well.

I was just around Throggs Neck a few weeks ago with about 5 down on my iPhone 5S, by E. Tremont and Sampson Ave

 

You passed right by my block, Sampson and Tremont I am on Sampson.

I think Sprint has better site spacing in NYC than Verizon and AT&T in Brooklyn. T-Mobile has all 4 beat here. My mother's iPhone drops down to 2 bars several times while mine never went below 4 bars.

How has the band 41 stability been? and also hand off between B25 and B41? 

 

No problems with stability

[Deval]

Is that why, when I have full blown LTE and I try to stream a YouTube video the quality should be 720p but instead its crappy 240p pixalated disgustingness?

Because that's how the app is written.

After going out to Long Island yesterday, i have come to the conclusion that Sprint's site spacing at least out into Bay Shore is better than Verizon's. I don't know about other carriers specifically, but Sprint maintained a constant 4-5 bars whereas the my mother's iPhone dropped to 1 bar more than a few times. I also picked up LTE quite a few times and at one point held it while driving on the highway for about 10 minutes.

Verizon sucks out here. My friend has the Verizon iPhone 5C , she barely gets LTE, she constantly has 1X or 3G & if she has LTE then its 1-2 of un-use-fulness. My 3G is usually faster than her 1-2 LTE. & yet Verizon is supposed to one the best *laugh* yeah right.

My old hangouts back in the day.  I still travel out to the Hamptons with no losss of signal  with Sprint. I got LTE signal visiting a friend in Middletown last week. They are expanding coverage for sure. I even get a weak LTE signal in Fishkill where I only got 3g barely. I have friends in Bayshore close to the mall.

If you don't mind the traffic lights and had taken sunrise hwy all the way, there would have been constant LTE, southern state parkway still has a few holes

Sprint is doing something as I have zero lte data connection even when I am "connected" it won't send the signal to the tower to upload or download my request sync or otherwise I have to drop down to qx 3g right now... Even then last night text were not going out ...

I have the same problem, and it's been going on the last few weeks. Signal fluctuates from 0-3 bars and disappear here in Throggsneck.

I've had this problem too. Only when im in heavily populated areas like Times Square sometimes my LTE will just go dead. If Airplane Mode doesn't work, then I try a hard reboot. If that doesn't work then I go to the settings & just turn off LTE. It's no fun to have it if I can't use it.

What section of Philly are you looking for exactly? I'd also check the Philadelphia market thread for any updates on specific sections, since you're talking about a big area (though admittedly not as big as NYC).

[nexgencpu]

Some more band 41 goodness in NYC, good to see especially crowded areas with awesome speeds!

Anyone ever notice that Sprint service just sucks when it's raining. I find that often times when its raining my service just disappears. Speeds just drop -__-

Its seems to be one specific sector in my neighborhood that I am unable to connect to... It will pick up the LTE but won't send data then it will just drop to 3g I have to airplane cycle to connect to the other tower in my area... Have to call sprint as its been like this since 4 days ago!

[latoso]

Ok I got the g2 but drops 4g and when is connected speed is very slow compared to my wife's s3 . My speed test is 1 gb download and crashes during upload. Anybody has same issues

So that site I reported to sprint I think was fixed almost same day...but what is weird and can someone with more knowledge assist me. The site gci PCI and TAC changed completely compared to the tower Id I was connecting too before... Why would that be the case?
