I don't think there is anything wrong with speaking their frustration on the slow deployment. I don't see it as complaining but showing their frustration and to hear from other NYC users. To me it seems like you are complaining and frustrated.

 

He is frustrated.  At people who troll S4GRU.  I don't think there is a difference between complaining and airing your frustrations.

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

Although Sprint does not have LTE everywhere in the city, I have a great experience on their network. I have LTE 70% of the time. The whole 60 Mbps thing is a silly comment because absolutely no carrier has 60Mbps on average. LTE is going to be great in some places and better in others, and that is going to be the case for any carrier. We all know what Sprint is and is not doing. Complaining or "airing out frustration" is not going to make a difference and definitely comes off as trolling a little bit and that's not okay. We are all here to learn.

pslee said "AS OF NOW". I agree with that. Spark isn't widely available in NYC yet either. I haven't heard from anyone here saying they are getting 60Mbps every where in NYC. I think I saw 1 person mention getting Spark one or 2 times. I took a look at the maps and still don't see any improvement in financial district or most of northeastern Queens. By far, the worst and I would stop anyone from getting Sprint as of now as well. 2015, could be different but not right now. And not especially for those who want and need iPhones.

 

I was in Sunnyside and averaging 30+ on Spark, same goes for Midtown.

 

The fact that people base their carriers on the maximum speed (which has a long list of environmental reasons as to how that speed was achieved), instead of doing a complete needs analysis is sad.

I just looked at the Clearwire/WiMax maps in the Premier Sponsor section for the first time in a while. To find out that my neighborhood was covered in Band 41 goodness since May was a shock!!! I can't wait to get my hands on a Spark device.

 

Just so everyone knows, Spark is all over the place in the city, the chances of you having Spark in your area are pretty high!

When you are able to move up to the Premier level, you will get some great Spark (Band 41 LTE) site maps.   :tu:

When I was in NY last year my service was sprint was really good. A lot of places I was getting faster data than my friend who has verizon. My speeds were better both 3G and lte.

 

- has transit wireless started deploying sprint mini towers in the subway yet?

I'm sure they've started, however they are not live yet. It's supposed to happen sometime in the first quarter of this year. They have until March 31st, but I am sure they'll have it up by then. However, I do roam on Verizon in the tunnels, so Verizon's Transit Wireless thing being complete, helps with Sprint anyway.

Verizon is already done with theirs? Jesus

Looking in as a third person, Sprint is the worst carrier in the NYC as of now. I advise against anyone to switch to sprint at this point. things might change in the future, but AS OF NOW, sprint is the worst carrier in NYC without any hesitation. 

Really? You need to at least provide your reasoning.

Im a little sad. It's been a whole year and a half since Sprint started it's roll and I still don't have LTE in my town. Not a stable signal at least. I don't understand why Sprint can't just upgrade the two towers that govern my area. :'( WAA

They are the lowest priority, or located in a town that doesn't want to play ball.

 

Best suggestion is to move.

      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.
