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'

I don't yet have LTE in St Thomas and I have an iPhone 5, is there anything that I should do in preparation for LTE? Will I need to take my phone to the sprint store to get PR LTE enable?

 

Thanks

 

no special preparations needed. Just sit tight and use it as you normally would until LTE is deployed.

are there any special steps required to get NetMonitor to display the towers? I've run it, and doesn't display any towers around me.

 

thanks guys

When that happened to me, I just turn my gps on and try to get a lock.. after that just let them collect the towers info..

Sometimes I need to zoom in/out so it shows me the towers

Please keep in mind that tower locations can be highly inaccurate when using netmonitor/opensignal.

I just got LTE in my mothers house in Puerto Nuevo. Just one bar though.

 

LTE is not measured with bars. You could be connecting to a LTE tower 40 feet from you and be connected to voice to a tower 1 mile away from you and it will only show the voice signal.

We have found that the iPhone does display LTE signal strength in bars, since it can only use one antenna at a time.

When I go into Data Management ##3282# under advanced, it says LTE disabled on my phone even though its on LTE/CDMA. Should it be like that?

I noticed that I have the same issue. Is there any way to change that parameter to LTE Enable? My PRL version is 25009

I'm not sure what the setting is for, but I was able to connect to lte with it set to disabled.

 

Prior to the Jelly Bean update, it was set to enabled.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Looks like another T-Mobile 5G bump happened over the past week and a half, maybe less: n41 carriers are now 90+100 MHz, up from 80+100 (which in turn is up from 40+100 back in early March). This is on top of the new n25 carrier recently. As part of this, it looks like T-Mobile is starting to prefer n25+n41 2CA even when pushing data, rather than having higher levels of CA that would hit higher peak speeds; at least indoors I need to force n41-only if I want to see the full 190 MHz there. To be fair the speeds are plenty quick with that amount of spectrum, and I'm sure they're load balancing, and my guess is this is a little better for battery life? With this expansion, they're now at 10x10+10x10 n25, 15x15 n71, 100+90 n41, for a total of 260 MHz (including FD uplink) of deployed NR here, up from 250 MHz a week ago, 230 MHz two weeks ago, and 190 MHz six months ago. VZW is at 140 MHz minus mmW, 170 if you count n2 DSS. AT&T is at 150 MHz (80+40 n77, 15x15 n5), 210 MHz I think if you count n2 and n66 DSS (guessing they're still running those). With this level of spectrum they should be able to continue offering home internet wherever. Guessing this is the last upgrade they can make before they need to throw new equipment on sites for C-Band. At this rate I figure that'll happen next year on a few dozen high-traffic sites.

      My wife has a Pixel 8 Pro and has no complaints. I have an S22U and I get slightly better signal than her but 99.9% of the time, its not noticeable.

      My favorite is the nexus 6.  Love the form factor also.

      Well it's the newest Pixel, so I'm guessing at least a few of us are out there, myself included! I have had almost every Google phone since the Nexus 4. The Nexus 5 might be my all-time favorite for what it was at the time, but I love my Pixel 8. No real drawbacks for me, but I can't give a personal comparison to the S22.
