Is that supposed to resolve my problems at home?

They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

IIRC, Robert stated earlier in another thread where another person asked about SMR 800 in PR. PR/VI will not get SMR 800 at all at this moment. Another entity holds the spectrum there and is not to keen on giving it up so easily.

 

or i could be confusing it with something else but point still stands, no SMR 800 in PR any time soon.

So, that part between Palmas del Mar and Yabucoa via 53 highway is complete. I think that was the only part was missing LTE.

 

Yes!! Looks like it is. Someone please map this area on HWY 53 and going into Palmas Del Mar. I would do this but cannot with my iPhone 5.

There are a few sites in the metro area without LTE as well. I'm waiting on the UPR-Bayamon site.

 

Yeah, I wonder what the holdup could be, as 3G has been complete for a while, and most of the sites around it have LTE already. Could be backhaul related, as 3G speeds where stellar when they activated the 3G update, but have dropped a bit.

LTE Advance is next-generation technology, the evolution of LTE tech.

It's more about the carriers using there spectrum more efficiently. Phone calls over ip, combination of frequencies to move data. I don't think it's different equipment but it's pointless deploying it till all towers are LTE. The whole move to LTE is mostly about what the carriers need and not what customers want. We want higher speeds but current technology could have given us that if sprint had not held off so long in upgrading backhaul.

How bout those rural zones like where i live cuz wiith the NV improvement im still confined to the airave at home and it is working very very poorly.... Mostly 1xRtt -_-:mellow::(

I could be mistaken, but if your phone is on a 1x connection it may simply not be connecting to the Airave at all (could be because it's configured wrong, out of range, etc). Are you getting three tones when you dial a call? The Airave basically acts add a bridge to your broadband and pipes calls thru it, I've had mine for a few years and 3G data thru it is simply the same as if you were on your home Wifi (because it's essentially the same thing), it's always gonna be just as fast or as slow.

 

It's kinda pointless for data really, unless you don't have wifi for some reason, it's really aimed at improving voice coverage.

 

It's been working almost flawlessly for me for quite a while, the only hiccups are due to my my crappy DSL (so ready to switch to cable...) and one odd bug with SMS timestamps that I've never been able to figure out... I receive messages stamped one hour behind actual time (even when the US isn't on DST), I'm just using an app to fix the timestamps automatically when I'm at home (the app just sets it by the phone's clock).

I do get the 3 tones when connecting to a call and didn't knew it worked that way..... I'm disappointed now cuz i thought it picked up the networks signal and amplified it-_-:(:mellow::huh:

There are only two sites left in the PR/VI market without any NV upgrades accepted. Both are in Urban San Juan. This market is being wrapped up. And the number of LTE sites left is dwindling steadily. I'm so happy for you all in Puerto Rico.

This is not what I'm seeing on the sponsors map.

And which sites do you see in the market that have nothing accepted on them at all? I only see two. And I have the luxury of sorting my database, and only two come up.

Ahh. I was talking about having 4g enabled.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
