Id think once all the towers are at full capacity it will. Has anyone with an EVO tried changing the LTE scan and how did it affect the battery for you?

There were hundreds of thousands of people at the Indianapolis 500 race.  When the race was over, many thousands of people try to get for a taxi to get them out of the area.  Taxis have special road r

Do you know what you're talking about? All LTE performance is signal strength dependent. Even AT&T's. You only get 50Mbps on AT&T when you are on top of a LTE site with no one else on it.

I was mapping on Sensorly this morning by the track on 16th if you want to check it out. Anyways if you look at my screen shot i got an R where the triangle would be if i were to roam. I only got this when i was at the edge of coverage. What could this mean? Ill post pics of the tower in my next post under this.

It happened a few times to me in Texas. It means you are roaming on 1x, but still connected to Sprint LTE.

Wow, I am surprised that LTE held out longer than 1x did. Netmoniter was showing that I was connected to the same tower I was pulling LTE off of.

Were you roaming to the same tower? Is that site colocated with other carriers? It is possible that the Sprint 1x was down in the area and that was why you were roaming. Not because you were out of range.

It is a stand alone Sprint tower and Att is next to it. Netmoniter showed myself still connected to that tower when the R came up. I even checjed my logs and confirmed i was on that tower at that time.

This is between Martinsville and Bloomington on the 37. The 1.48 is when I reached about 10 minutes out from Martinsville. Bloomington shows a consistent 1.4Mbps-2Mbps otherwise:

I noticed yesterday on my commute home to Avon that I had LTE from 465 all the way to Raceway. I would've done a Sensorly post, but I'm on the iPhone.

Damn you iPhone!

Just kidding, thanks for the info.

I did some mapping this morning in that area. And a few more. Like 16th st yesterday and the one by Washington and 465 today. The site is off highschool between 10th and Rockville.

I know! I'm hoping to get down there this weekend. coverage is popping up all over Indy. Nothing out here in Lafayette but its nice knowing we are in the middle of two LTE markets so we should see some action in the near future.

I am having difficult time getting lte in spots I was b4, is sprint blocking sites or is this evo lte garbage?

Sprint blocking sites, maybe...

EVO LTE radios garbage, most definitely.

 

What sites? If they are north side I will happily go check them out.

Everywhere I get LTE signal, I only get it for that day and it seems to get turned on every once in awhile. I am guessing they are turning on these sites as they are working on them to test the new implementation, then turning them off when they are done to stand by for the big launch date! Just my guess.

I am still getting lte on every site that sensorly shows and the ones that are finished and accepted by sprint. I dont beleive they have blocked any so far

I don't want to seem ungrateful but I hope the speeds get faster then 17 MB down just saying I hope they are not completely finished in my area. My buddy gets 50MB down here on att consistently

There is nothing you could do that you would need more than 17mbps let alone 50. Sprint depkoyed only on 5mhz verse att 10mhz. So Sprints max is 37.5mbps and obviously AT&T is twice that.

I guess we're all just Sprint fanboys but what could you possibly need 50mb/s for on your phone? My home connection is 20mb and I have no use for it?

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
