My phone will sit on my table at Home and chirp randomly. When I forced LTE I used to get a faint signal.I just went to force it now to see if there were any changes but I have a problem. I recently received the KitKat update on my g2 and they changed the hidden menu on me and I don't know how to force LTE, if anyone can shout out how, I'd appreciate it, if not, I'll dig into it later and get back after I have an update on LTE status.

LTE-Only mode isn't happening with the latest KitKat update. Sorry!

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

Dang that's unfortunate. Through root maybe? Or no? I guess if rooted I could flash back to a jelly bean ROM and force it that way?? Hmm.....

You could acquire root and flash back to stock ZVA even rooted stock. Then disable the nag screen about upgrading to ZVC. I've flashed to liquid smooth so I can't see if this exists but can you change or force modes with ##data#?

 

Edit

Never mind. You need data centric control. Have to flash back.

I am getting 4G inside my home for the first time. Appears to have kicked in at 7am and I have not lost it. I am less than a mile from Bridgewater tower but hitting the Factory Dr.,Fairfield tower. Still no 800 though. Weak signal as well.

I was over at Bridgewater yesterday and the tower there was producing 1x 800.

Out of curiosity how does the lte antenna in the s3 rate? I was getting lte in places I don't usually get it today but not sure which tower it was from. Are there any apps that can tell which data tower you are connected to?

Two screenshots sitting next to the tower @ Hamilton Mason and Lesourdsville West Chester.

 

I feel like maybe these weren't the only towers launched with this cluster... maybe the tower down on rt 4 in Fairfield or the one on Seward rd down near rt 4. I probably won't get down there to check today though.

I parked under the factory drive tower this morning and maxed out with lte signal around -79 and rxx in the 50's. Is it possible that I was picking up lte from Bridgewater or Hamilton? I am hoping that is the case. I have gotten lte in the factory drive tower area in the past that was most likely from Hamilton but it wasn't nearly the strength as today. My speed maxed out at 9.5 down while under the tower too. Lte is certainly picking up around here and I am excited, I just really hope that the Factory drive tower is not on because yesterday I had lte around my house and at water works park but when I walked inside I dropped to 3g. I really hope I am not still on the stupid bubble with lte the way I have always been for voice. But I am waiting iit out till the end of this year to see what devices that brings as i believe I am less than half a mile from a clear tower so in the long run may not even need the 1900 lte any way.

Tower I'm interested in is by John Gray and 127

I thought that tower was live some time ago? I picked up lte right near that tower often. Where else could it have been? Also on rt 4 near Boymel for a year it clicked on to lte for me. It has only been the last several weeks I have gotten any love on the other side of Fairfield.

I was right next to that tower when they where putting up antennas a month ago. So it hasn't been live for months. It does have clear on that tower though. But 2 weeks ago it wasn't live with NV.

I think it has to be the Factory Dr tower. When I drove away from that tower to a different area of Fairfield I dropped back to 3G. Now I'm back home and LTE again. It's not Hamilton/Bridgewater.

I can confirm it cant be Bridgewater because I can almost see it from my house. I was by Glen Trace today and it was at stronger than it is at my place. 9.10 down/5.58 up with a ping of 48, compared to 8.65 up/6.36 down with a ping of 60 at home in Fairfield twp.

 

Still no 800 there either.

I will also say that when whatever tower was turned up at 7am Friday, I have an Airave in my home that only gave me 2mb. The new tower over road the Airave so I have had it unplugged since then. I have stayed on Factory for voice since then as well. Prior to this I would bounce between Factory, Seward, Princeton, Bridgewater, and Imagination Blvd by Streets of West Chester. So that tells me at least that something has happened at Factory. I have got 4G at the corner of 747 and Ham-Mason for at least a month as well so it could actually be Factory and Princeton.

I'm hoping you guys are using Sensorly to map the hell out of any LTE signals you find. It's a LOT easier to tell where the LTE signal is coming from once you see the purple on the map, since I see you are guessing where some of the LTE is coming from.

 

At some point, especially if we can get a few Premier or Sponsor volunteers, the Columbus people would like to help the Cincy people out by creating a Map/Spreadsheet for your market to track LTE. If you're a Sponsor, PLEASE take a look at this thread to see what we've accomplished and what could be in your future: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4742-columbus-market-mapspreadsheet/

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
