js4gru Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 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....

Robert 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 Sent from my LG-G2 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdupes Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 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. I'll have another post when I get home; I can pick up LTE there too.

swohiom4m Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thats the one just north of Tricounty and it is a bad tower. You will get 4 times the speed at the one just west of Trenton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swohiom4m Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 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. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swohiom4m Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implicate Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
