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

I can confirm service on the 1/2/3 from Wall St to 14th is live now. I connected to Band 25 2md carrier.

Awesome, hopefully we'll see that over ground soon.

Perhaps the reason why they did this is because they don't have as much voice traffic down there so they have much more freedom to deploy spectrum as they please.

 

But I'm glad to be the first one!

Is that so? I called her again today and still sounded the same like yesterday. I assume I would have to do this through the sprint website?

 

Yeah try removing the option from both lines from sprint.com and see if it works. I read this somewhere before as to how someone else fixed it.

Which stop did you take that screenshot/

Fulton St on the A/C/E when going back to Brooklyn. But I found it in each stop from Wall St to Christopher St on the 1/2/3. For some reason my 1x data wouldn't depopulate but my LTE did between stops and this would always come back.

Yes, second carrier is live down there at least.

Is cdma pcs refarming happening

Perhaps the reason why they did this is because they don't have as much voice traffic down there so they have much more freedom to deploy spectrum as they please.

 

This is not CDMA2000 spectrum refarming, per se.  The spectrum in question was not in widespread, if any use in the subway system, which is like an enclosed lab -- the RF underground is isolated from the RF in the outside world.  So, this is more akin to greenfield spectrum deployment.

Can you take a screenshot of your debug menu when you're connected to it again?

i was walking on madison ave and between 23rd st and 24th street there are two smalls cells. I wasn't connected to either and based on the Wimaxx site map they weren't old clear cells. I guess both ATT and Verizon are deploying small cells pretty rapidly too. I don't think I've seen anything about t-mobile using them in NYC but they deff have the most macro towers. One block over on 5th and 23rd street there is a clear site according to the map. I checked google street view and its deff a small cell. 

 

I'm going to see if its been converted yet to LTE. I would think it is since its across from the flat iron building which has a Sprint store at the bottom. 

 

Im going to use the old clear map to try and find other old clear sites that might have been converted or hopefully going to be. 

 

edit: if anyone is there before monday let me know about it please

Is crown Castle  mounting the Sprint /Nokia small cells in New York City? 

 

Because I found hundreds of Crown Castle permits. 

 

Crown Castle does work for all the carriers, so it's a lot harder to tell who is who.

 

Same goes for the sites which are already on-air. The only true test outside of working for Sprint is to stand in front of them with a phone in debug mode.

Reported issue on park Ave by cross Bronx. Site was barely going over 200k and timeouts galore. Issue was going on for many months.

 

Sprint finally came through and fixed the issue. Now seeing 10mb+ and normal Sprint pings of 20s and 30s.

      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.
