What PRL are you on? The current stock PRL scans for 1900 before 800, so you won't get 800 until 1900 is unavailable.

 

 

I am on 25018.

 

On my Galaxy S5 the PRL version is 51100. When I update the PRL it still stays at 51100. Am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks for any help!

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

My S5 is on the same PRL 51100, I'm wondering if thats device related, now that you mentioned the PRL being the same as mine

Some food for thought/testing....I snooped around the phone via ##3282# and found what looks like a LTE scan time field. It looks like you can decrease the time it takes the phone to search for LTE:

 

1.) Dialer app


2.) ##3282#

3.) edit

4.) enter MSL number (you get this from sprint) (just say you are running diagnostics)

5.) BSR

6.) Timer Menu

7.) nextLTEScan timer

8.) Mine was set to 5 (minutes?)

9.) Change to lower minute value for quicker scan.

10.) Restart the phone.


 

Can anyone confirm if this in fact helps? I may change mine to 2-3 minutes when more towers light up in my area and/or if I travel.

That is the current PRL for your device. It will scan for 1900 before 800.

I have my device set to 3. Every 3 minutes that you are not connected to LTE AND you don't have an active data session (IE: streaming music or downloading something), it will pause/disconnect your data connection to search for LTE. This does use more power, as every few minutes it is essentially relogging you into all of your services.

For my last Sensorly mapping trip in LTE only mode, I also set my timer to 1. Then I change it back when I'm done.

That's a good idea but doesn't always work. Sensorly is constantly uploading data, which is almost always a constant data session. Your best bet is using SCP's alert for loosing LTE, then either using the reset data connection button or putting your phone into airplane mode and out when you hear the alert. This will force it to scan.

 

Another option would be the LTE Discovery app.

Hey everyone. I've been following this thread for a long time and have received some amazing information from it. Just wanted to let everyone know that I work up in Blue Ash and am sitting at my desk using my Nexus 5 and getting a decent LTE signal. The best part about this is I'm not in LTE Only mode and can make and receive calls with LTE disconnecting and reconnecting as it should. It looks like they've turned on CSFB at the Tamarco Dr. tower which is the tower I usually connect to. I also ran a speed test at the intersection of Cornell and Kemper in Blue Ash and pulled 25 Mbps down and 9 Mbps up.

Can anyone tell me about the tower at 6141 campus ln? It seems that it would be on top of the water tower at that location but I cannot see any antennas on top, was that tower moved to the other tower they built in mt Washington a few years back and the address not updated? Or am I just blind? Which is entirely possible

I'm on west side of Hamilton with my tri band phone connecting to band 41. Still able to receive phone calls and text also.yte3a2en.jpg And no I'm not forcing it either.

I know SCP is saying B41 but I'm not sure I trust that. The GCI & PCIs don't match the B41 pattern for the Cincy market. Can you check your debug/engineering screen? You may need to send a bug report to mikejeep if I'm right.

I actually did a speed test and that seems to support your theory as well. The upload and download channels are not right also after further looking. I was driving so I couldn't get in the engineering screen, but I do agree that it was a bug and I really was not connected to B41.

Still good news that you got LTE without forcing it.

Same here. West and East side of Hamilton including Lindenwald have been good for me so far.

I was driving through Elmwood Place on Monday and picked up LTE (likely B25) on my tri-band S4 mini.  I even made a test call, [e]CSFB seemed to be working good.  LTE cut out to dial and talk (as it's supposed to), but after I ended the call my phone went right back to LTE.  Most places I go (home, work, Kroger, etc.) I can only get LTE if I am in LTE only mode.  It may not really be news to anyone, but it was nice to have LTE working properly with stock settings.

That's been up for awhile

      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.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
