Quick question... Does any spark phone work on the active lte towers in the area? I have the g2, no spark update yet, and it doesn't stay connected... shows for a second once in awhile.. Or are all the current lte towers still waiting on eCSFB updates....

So you're suggesting we shut down this entire site since this site is based on that hobby of talking to cell site workers and takings picture of cellular equipment among other things to track the deve

Been seeing some amazing speeds off my local tower the last week or so on B25! This is off the tower I posted pics of a while back with the very first known 8T8R antennas. Some of you will remember th

OK I am absolutely blown away with the difference between my S3 and my son's S5! I would have not been so frustrated with my service had I known. If I didn't want the note 4 so bad I would upgrade

All LTE connections are problematic to Triband devices without being connected to CSFB.  Regardless of Band.

So the update will only help the 11 markets that are spark? Arg...was wanting to lock onto band 41..since these are closer to completion in the area

Not sure I follow...

 

Tri-Band devices need eCSFB to be in place, once it is they can connect to any LTE that is available, be that Band 25, 26 or 41.

I figured out how to get my phone in LTE only mode. Here's the signal information from the tower I picked up in Fairfield by Mercy hospital. Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

I'll have another post when I get home; I can pick up LTE there too.

Please do not post poor speed tests. Zero always looks like zero. Yes, the legacy network sucks. We all know.

Look at the latest map and someone please tell me why Dayton is almost solid green and only the east side of Cincinnati is getting any attention? This is becoming ridiculous.

Yes, because it was first. That's why. Somewhere has to be first and somewhere has to be last. And if I were deciding, I would have selected Dayton first also. Dayton never received WiMax, even.

 

My guess as to why though is because the backhaul vendor in Dayton is much farther along.

 

But rest assured, since Cincy is a Samsung market, your area probably is well under way. Samsung is flying. And if it's not fast enough for you, you have options. But one of things that is not an option for you is to complain here.

I was not complaining. I was asking why.

You complained it was ridiculous. And I explained why to the best of my ability.

I hope no one in here thinks I am "complaining" about what this site is doing. I have had an AirRave since August because of how bad my service is. The tower closest to me has said "In Progress" for close to a year, meanwhile others that were not even on the map have been completed. There are MANY like that in Cincinnati so it appears they have stopped working at least along I 75. There were 4 completed towers in all of Cincinnati when I joined this site. Now Dayton has 3 times that completed and we have only a few more. If no one here knows why, thats ok. I know you aren't Sprint. I even called the number at Sprint that was posted on here and they will not tell me when my tower will be completed. I will not ask any more questions, make anymore comments, or answer any questions. I am just here for information.

It looks like they may have upgraded the backhaul in Kenwood. I'm not sure how to tell for sure. Up until a week or two ago I was getting under 1Mbps during business hours, usually around .3Mbps. Now I'm getting 1.2Mbps or more. Sprint's network enhancement map shows a voice upgrade within the last 6 months, but the data has definitely improved.

      I was traveling for a couple of days.   Sunday evening, I upload from 3 phones.  A S-22 and two Moto 5G phones.  Everything looked ok.    How do we explain that?   One person has issues and another person does not.  All my phones have the latest update.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.
