digiblur Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 It hasn't launched yet, so it's not down. -- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmd Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I haven't been picking up an LTE signal for about a week now. It was fun while it lasted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Its probably Sensorly mapping out future soon to be announced LTE towers or unactive LTE towers Sensorly does not do this. Sensorly uses crowd sourced data. The info on their maps comes from users of the Sensorly Android app. That area was mapped by real Sprint LTE customers. So the service was live in that area when it appeared. Most likely during testing. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexgencpu Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hey Robert, how much effect does updating PRL have on LTE signal? Since 3G/1x can come from a separate site, would updating the PRL and Profile help with picking up better signal wherever you are..Im currently getting pretty crappy voice signal, when before i was getting excellent voice in the same place. But, unfortunately I am on a AOSP Rom (CM 10.1) without a way of updating my current PRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Updating a PRL will do nothing for even your 1x signal. All it does for you right now is cycle your radio. Only real change you will see in a prl update is when 800smr is added to your market. Sent from my little Note2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought something else entirely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 So your saying that cycling airplane mode on and off does exactly the same thing??? I thought something else entirely different. Since PRL's don't change all that often, running the PRL update is pretty much a roundabout way of cycling your radios, it forces your phone to re-scan through all the frequencies, checking first for LTE then 3G. Much easier to just cycle airplane mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, that kinda makes more sense, I just figured since sprint is actively upgrading now as we speak PRL updates might be a better way to have the latest list of updated towers. Plus, I ride the subway very frequently, and am a firm believer in airplane mode on the subway as a way of conserving a ton of battery life, and also receiving signal instantly after getting off the subway.

Plus, I ride the subway very frequently, and am a firm believer in airplane mode on the subway as a way of conserving a ton of battery life, and also receiving signal instantly after getting off the subway. PRL's don't actually list towers, or even update when new towers go up, or towers have LTE turned on. It lists more groups of towers, by geographic region, rather than individual towers. If a new tower is added in your area, you phone will connect to it automatically, assuming it's given the same regional ID as the other towers around you. That's a basic explanation (I hope). Digiblur is the PRL expert. If I messed anything up, I'm sure he can give you a better idea of what a PRL does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Explained perfectly. Good job! For instance, one entry.. Yes, just one allows my phone to connect to cell sites from central LA to NW FL... 5-6 hours of driving distance.

Paynefanbro Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just mapped LTE along Snyder Avenue in Brooklyn. It lasted until I turned the corner onto Utica. I should mention I was going east coming from Downstate. I guess that would become self evident in a couple of minutes when it appears on the map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprilgrl920 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I had lte I posted screen shots of my speed. Yes it's down. I live in co-op its been down in sec 1 buts its up in sec 3-5 and the bay plaza area. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look at those pings! that's what makes everything load nice and snappy, Just think, in a few months you can probably say bye bye to those 300ms pings and 100k/s downloads..

NaNa_Ch!LL Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Those speeds look dandy to me. Besides, after 8+ mpbs I can't tell the difference in speed and pings look good. Satisfied, I would be. ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know! Kind of reminds me how those T-Mobile Faux-G users post their screenshots of 17Mbps speedtests with pings in the high thousands.
