Network Vision/LTE - Columbus Market

The skyline is probably less than 1 mile from my house. I would assume the info I posted is the same (untruncated)

The Cell Identity number is Truncated on iOS7 unless you follow the steps digiblur posted to show the full number.

As some of you may know, I formerly was banned from Sensorly contribution as I had a Sprint Galaxy Nexus. Well, I'm happy to say that I am now the proud owner of a black Motorola Moto X and I was wondering if I could help out some. I haven't been able to get the engineering screens though, so if anyone knows how to get to them on this phone please let me know and I'll do that too.

Sorry. I have like nine pages of posts on here to catch up on. I haven't seen Digi's post yet.

Here's another shot of the toys r us connection. I am not driving back up to orange road anytime soon.

Check digiblur's signature. First link should help. It should be same steps as Photon LTE.

I'm in Dublin for dinner. Picking up test mode 800 from allington lane and Lyra drive sites, north side and south side of Polaris.

[amcferrin90]

Here are the screenshots for Allington lane & Lyra Drive, the maps show where i was in relation to the 800 sites. The Allington Lane one I was still on at 270/70 on the West side before I jumped over to the West Jefferson site. Again these are definitely in test mode.

I hadn't been checking the site as much lately.  But oh was I surprised when camping at Alum Creek state park to see that 4g logo pop up.  I forgot to actually map it.  I did turn sensorly on while sitting around the camp fire.  As a result, you will see a random purple dot in the middle of the camp grounds.  That is my contribution.. lol!!   I didn't take screen shots, but I ran a speed test good for about 7 mbps.  Was pretty cool.

 

What was annoying is I seemed to have decent enough signal, (Although if I recall rightly, the "bars" are not a proper indicator of 4g strength).  But it kept wanting to drop back to 3g.  If I ran LTE Discovery, it'd find it imediately, and it would hold it for a while, but every so often it just revert to 3g, and wouldn't change back with out the discovery app.

 

I have an HTC One, my buddy's GS3 seemed to hold the 4g though.

Signal Bars always lie. The only way to get a true signal strength is to check your LTE Engineering screen or using an app like Signal Check / Signal Check Pro.

 

Also, you have to come back often. That site has been active for over a month.

As for the non-usable data and dropped calls, you are experiencing the incompatibility between the legacy Motorola cell sites and the NV Samsung sites. For me, from along 33 and about Bowen Rd to Hamilton Rd is totally useless. It gets better to almost 270 and then is again unusable until almost 104. The latter is due to a lack of coverage. It's not too bad if you flash a 800 priority PRL as you'll be on NV sites through most of that area. 

 

As for the WiMax TDE2600 rollouts, I'm not sure if they've started or not. The WiMax site on Shannon Rd west of Brice looks a little different. T-Mobile has definitely put 4G on that cell but I think the WiMax antennas look a little different. 

 

Something I did notice on the way home tonight was that the Basil Western Rd tower was not allowing data connections, only voice. That may mean good things to come soon. When I snapped this, I had passed the cell and was about a half mile away.

 

 

 

Ah yes.  I believe I am experiencing this quite a bit.  My daily drive home is about 27 miles up rt 3, from westerville, passed Centerburg, but before Mount Vernon.  I sometimes talk on the way home.  I have found, several areas during the drive, where the call will drop - as the signal gets crappy, the bars on the phone will go from a couple bars to many more, sometimes full bars, but it then drops the call.  And I can immediately place or receive another call.  (It's a split second peak at the phone, I don't like to take my eyes off the road now).  I've been guessing the cause to be this incompatibility with the new and old equipment.  

 

In other news, they seemed to have cured the dead spot I used to have passing through Mount Liberty along the way.

New live LTE sites? Well that's good news.  I'd ask where, but methinks you would have already included it if you weren't directing us to the sponsor thread.. lol

Are these in addition to the three accepts you mentioned the other day?  Or are you saying those same 3 are even closer to being turned on?

Three separate sites.

Hey... Donations help keep the lights on here literally. The cost of running this site per day is crazy. If you have the expendable funds, please help out.

Got LTE signal on campus view and 23n to 270 and 71. Whatever tower is putting out that signal ????

Can you grab the PCI or GCI if you can.

When I saw there were 6 LTE updates in Columbus market I got alittle excited, but apparently none are actually in Columbus - but they are in the "Columbus Market" haha..

 

Maybe there should be a sub-listing in the Site Acceptance Report?

The listing on the Acceptance Report would look something like this:

 

**************************************************************************

 

Columbus = 0 updates

       -Columbus ( but not really "Columbus" ) = 10 updates ( LTE )

 

***************************************************************************

 

But seriously, its still promising & good to see the Sprint LTE footprint will be solid in the surrounding areas once LTE does hit the actual City of Columbus !

It's done by market. Not city. The maps are there to show you the location.
