Reflashed my EVO lte radios, still no lte for me... Going to do full reset tomorrow and test tomorrow evening, I want to get in on this lte sweetness... This some bs! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Have the store do it for you! So they have it recorded that the reset didn't work. If it doesn't . And do it at one that's in the servicing area for that tower.

I'm assuming Sprint is seeing how that one tower is doing for a week or so and making adjustments and then they'll start finishing more? Or do they do them as soon as they have contractors available? Because I would think whoever did the last piece on that one would move on to the next.

 

No, you are guys are really over thinking things.  The site was ready, it came up on the list, it was tested and integrated, you guys connected to it.  No one is holding anything back or waiting for a special day. 

 

Another site could fire up tomorrow... or maybe 3 months later.  That's what happened my city, two sites went online in the same day, nothing happened for 3 months, then bang 5 or 6 in one week went active.  Just so many factors.

That's a problem. The closest corporate repair store is on the Fringe of coverage which is unusable.

FYI: I fired up an old Nextel phone yesterday and had full bars; this morning, ZERO. It's done, shut down, over. Now turn on the 800mhz!!

 

Very nice.... I picked up 800mhz one and have a screenshot of it from the Columbus road tower in Granville. I'm guessing they were testing only bc it never turned back on. Hopefully it will go live sooner than later now.

So I'm not sure how to get this engineering screen thing. I want to help and have been told not to map because of my phone. I drive a truck around central Ohio and surrounding counties and I could log this stuff petty well I think. Anyone got a simple tutorial?

 

I have Sensorly and Signal Check Pro. Anything else I need?

Folks its going to be a VERY interesting month for the Columbus market.  I have a very reliable source on when and what towers  are going live this month providing the dates don't get pushed out for some reason.

"very interesting" is a matter of perspective. Turning on towers in "here a cell, there a cell" fashion and keeping all of us spinning around the city doing speed tests could be interesting too. Oh I know, at the conclusion of red white and boom the LTE comes alive. Yes, yes that's it.

There will be no tower at a time turning on.  According to my source there will be several clusters (areas) turning on at different times throughout the month.  It may not be exactly what you guys are wanting to hear but I caan't share any more than that.

It is common knowledge at least on this board that 3G has to be accepted in clusters. I think we are all just excited to hear specific 4G LTE implementation plans. But that being said thank you for any information you can share.

Sounds good to me

When will they start firing up these towers?

Once complete, then inspected and approved by Sprint. Unfortunately, it's difficult to know when that will happen, even if you're in the know.

That isn't the way it works nor has it been like that in any market. I do not see that changing now and there really isn't any point to it. That would be going backwards at this point on the rollout.

I would assume what he meant was that 3G upgrades would be accepted and implemented in clusters which is true. I agree it doesn't make sense for LTE of course.

Still working on getting my MSL so I can help more with the engineering screens, but I do have this screenshot I took at 23N and Lazelle. Seems like our tower is pretty strong. I couldn't connect, but it was visible.

That seems like a pretty strong signal from that far away. If it is the one on Morse and Tamarack, that's impressive.

Yea, I lost it shortly there after traveling north. That's why I figure it's the same one. I actually connected to it at 270 and 71 for a minute.

Digiblur provided these directions for your Nexus:

Galaxy Nexus

 

Open the dialer and dial *#*#DEBUG#*#*

Enter 777468 (Sprint) for the lock code

Select LTE Engineering

Serving Cell is the site and RSRP shown in dBm is your LTE signal strength.

You have an android right?

 

If so, dl MSL reader and run it if you're rooted. If not rooted, call sprint and tell customer service and tell them you need ur MSL to get ur phone working again....

 

I've done both ways effectively....

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
