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.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
