SpenceSouth Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Still no LTE at Raymond James Stadium for the Bucs game. Data had normally been a disaster in there, but the new 3G DAS helps quite a bit. I noticed it too overloaded and my phone would switch to another tower, but it's still a good improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Still no LTE at Raymond James Stadium for the Bucs game. Anyone get LTE at Tropicana Field Rays games? I was at the trop for a game about a month ago for a rays game, there was LTE with decent reception but I couldn't use any data it was completely dead. Had to switch to 3g only mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feech Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Still no LTE at Raymond James Stadium for the Bucs game. Anyone get LTE at Tropicana Field Rays games? I'm downtown St. Pete quite a bit. LTE is seriously lacking in that area. In fact east of 275 and south of Gandy is a big gaping hole of non LTE coverage. Looking at the Map there are some holes to fill in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thtguyuknw Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 So I have LTE RSRP -109dBm RSRQ -13dB and my awesome LTE speeds are... 1st try Ping - 173 ms DOWN - 347kbps UP - 31kbps 2nd try - Network communications issue 3rd try - Network communications issue so it went from horrible 3G to just as bad LTE... not only that but my battery in the Note is draining like someone pulled the plug out the bath tub. I am currently getting 3 hrs out of a full battery and my phone is hot too touch. but only when I am in sable park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill3345 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Has anyone found any TD-LTE panels in the area? I read the Tampa market was 1 of the 8 that sprint was going to start with the TD-LTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feech Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 So it looks like updates in our market have dried up somewhat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you are on the edge of coverage between 4G and 3G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyhe98 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Any updates on that 800hz site? Will our current phones be able to take advantage of 800mhz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpenceSouth Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Will our current phones be able to take advantage of 800mhz? Nearly all of the Sprint phones on the market, with the exception of the iPhone 4 and 4S, will be able to for voice and texts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny789 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 My prayers are finally being answered! I spotted LTE at work (Windhorst/Falkenburg-ish area in Brandon/Tampa) today. It doesn't seem to be fully active yet. Every attempt to load anything always times out. But it reaches indoors! Here's hoping it'll be all set up Monday.

I saw them working on that tower a couple weeks ago. Its just north of Woodbury on Falkenburg. Ruus and panels are in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpenceSouth Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I might get one then return it after 14 days. No TD-2600 in Ocala though, right? Unless, you're taking a trip to Tampa I'm not sure how worth your time that would be. The phone is a complete beast though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpenceSouth Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Going the Busch gardens so I will be around Very nice. I didn't get to ride it before I moved, but I heard that the new Cheetah Hunt ride is pretty sweet. Just dont let that phone slip out of your pocket!

Wildman Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I haven't posted in a bit, but still out there mapping daily. Ok, so we're some roughly 60% done now, but still have some key areas like the airport and Ybor still having coverage issues. Any other critical areas you thought would have been done by now that still need to be completed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lte in downtown is all but useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
