Drop calls with 5-6 bars Sprint EVO LTE

I have been very happy with my Sprint service until recently. I have 4 sprint towers all within 1 mile radius. I live on top of the hill, 1 tower is within a few blocks. I have been getting 5-6 bars on my EVO LTE, but getting crazy drop calls lately. I have notice when I am on a call with 5 bars, it may drop to maybe 1 bar or none and drops my call.

 

What is going on? What can I do to fix this issue? I have never experience this issue before which started happening a few weeks ago. My EVO LTE is up to date with the latest recent HTC update. Called Sprint but no help as they have no outages, opened ticket but nothing happened...WTF? I didn't have any of these issue since I had my EVO and EVO LTE which all started happening recently.

 

I am in the middle of the following towers:

SD34XC666 North

SD73XC163 East (2-3 Blocks Down)

SD34XC520 South West

SD34XC664 WEST

 

Crazy to even have 4 towers within 1 mile, why is that?

Don't feel bad bro as I have 8 towers within a mile and I'm in the middle of 6 of them. What is happening in the same thing that has been happening to me for quite some time. You're lucky in the sense that you get a good signal as I'm at the end of all of the towers near me's range. You have so many towers near you your phone basically can't decide which one to use in layman's terms. Usually the phone picks towers based on which is the least busy, closest, etc but maybe you live in the threshold? You're phone is switching because you have so many good signals where mine is trying to pick which crappy one is the best non-stop, lol. Sucks to be you and your phone that is unable to decide on which LTE laden full signal tower to use. When it happens think of me who has the opposite. LOL, J/K.

 

I'm not sure if there is a fix? And you must live in an urban setting as in New York you can has as many as 17+ towers within a mile. The more people in an area the more towers you need. Each tower can only serve so many people so they add towers so that users don't overload an area.

This topic should be moved to the HTC Phone section... anyone? anyone?.... bueller????

 

 

They may just be working on the towers nearby... I think I also read somewhere that just because you're near 4 towers, your phone will only connect to one tower...

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
