So for the last 24 hours I haven't been able to connect to lte at all. Now I have my girls evo that is connected just fine to lte as well as my gnex that is also connected just fine but on my main evo absolutely will not connect. I have tried every single troubleshooting technique there is to try, is it safe to assume that the lte radio is defective? 3g is fine but no 4g at all.

That is odd and would make suspect the radio.

I had the 3G radio go bad on my first EVO LTE. That was about a month ago. No matter what I tried, could not get it to connect to 3G anywhere. Texts and calls worked, but no 3G. No idea if 4G would have worked, was in Colorado at the time. I took it into a nearby Sprint store, told them I thought the radio was defective, the guy played with it for about a minute, and then handed me a brand new one. I would just go into a Sprint store (one that's in an active LTE area!) and show them.

I am heading there in a few, but I am afraid that I will end up losing the ability to s-off in the foreseeable future if they hand me a new one.

Never rooted my phone, never felt the need, so don't even know what that means! But I can see how that would be a problem. Can't help ya there!

No luck with them handing me a new one but they did order one for me, hopefully its new and not refurbished. The guy said it will be there friday which it better be since I have a flight to catch first thing saturday morning.

Ok, so I have a replacement evo coming in tomorrow but I got a question for you. My main evo has finally decided to connect to 4g once again but what I have been noticing more now is the fact that 3g and 4g has been bouncing all over the place and have been ridiculously inconsistent but in the mean time my girls evo and my gnex continues to work just perfectly. So my question is with all three phones currently being connected to the same tower, can a tower issue severely impact one phone while the other work just fine?

Yes, it can. However, you traveled to the Sprint store and had a problem there too, right? On a completely different site?

 

I think you may be having an intermittent problem with your device. Just my opinion. I have been wrong a lot today, though. :)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking so I decided to go to a few different areas and it was still doing the same thing while the other two phones where just fine. Various locations didn't make much of a difference plus it was doing the same thing at the Sprint store as well.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
