Thanks! I just donated! How long until the transaction goes through to see member forums? And where can I see the list of all towers and their status'?

Usually Robert is pretty quick at upgrading your membership so a couple of hours, I would say. Thanks for donating and enjoy!

I'm so confused still. Aha I'm new to this. I clicked both links but I'm super confused where to look for tower status, help?

I donated two days ago and I still don't have access to any sponsor forums... I've emailed Robert already but still nothing. The sponsor forums keep saying "this forum is protected by a password please enter the correct password" any help? Or anyone know the password for the forums?

I think it is kind of silly for Sprint to finally show Sprint 4G LTE (as of today, 6/23/2014) all over the inland empire when my phone Galaxy S5 only picks it up in some areas. I see coverage has improved but no way to show it all as covered.

Yeah never trust their website. Sensorly is the most accurate in determining coverage

Really brings me down to see that they are showing coverage for 4G LTE where I live which isn't true since my tower is only 3g NV ((since May 2013 )) and its the only tower with in a 7 mile radius so when this bad boy goes under maintenance or a black out happens, which has been more likely during and after NV panels where installed I have to roam on Metro Pcs. But on the Bright side seeing what sprint expects to be covered in the next coming months or weeks ((fingers crossed)) really brings a smile to my face because from the lowest parts of Riverside county (( I live in Thermal, Ca)) to LA and San Diego will have a solid coverage.   :tu:  :tu:  :)

I don't get why sprint has officially launched lte in the riverside/San Bernardino market as of today. I only get lte 25% of the time and that's when I'm on a freeway.

I talked to guy that works at a sprint store but not the corporate owned ones. He oversees 8 affiliated stores including a repair center and he told me that if you file a complain for a tower with a non corporate store about your service getting slow or getting dropped calls that they speed up the Network Vision process for the tower that you connect to the most. I'm tempted to try it as only one tower is close to me with in a 6 or 7 mile radius and all it needs is fiber backhaul connected to it and then get LTE tested.

Launching is a good thing. Because now at least they acknowledge the service that is deployed and they can open up trouble tickets for you. When you are in prelaunch status, they won't do anything, ever.

So today a crew was and still is working on this tower that is a palm tree and about 2 weeks ago they worked on the one closes to me which is the monopole tower. Would that new white round attachment that is in between the Att panels and sprint panels on the monopole and the one below the NV panels on the palm tree tower mean that the towers are one step closer for LTE. Also as you can see to the left side of the palm tree there are 2 smaller and wider panels with one rru each, are these set for band 41, the rest are regular NV panels but with 2 rru's each. uploadfromtaptalk1405117901777.jpguploadfromtaptalk1405117920631.jpguploadfromtaptalk1405117931591.jpguploadfromtaptalk1405117944717.jpg

Looks like the tower off of Sierra and jurupa in Fontana is now emitting 4g lte. Was at Wells Fargo in the shopping center where stater bros is and did a couple speed tests I was getting between 9-14 download and 5-12 upload. Finally! 3G was terrible there for months

Hey guys, new to the forum.  Just moved to Menifee about 8-9 months ago and the service at my house is terrible.  Audie murphy ranch to be exact.  Just wondering if anyone else lives in that area and experiences the same.  It looks like I just so happened to move into the absolute worst possible spot for sprint coverage, as both sensorly and the sprint website show that the approx. 1-2 square mile area that I live in does not fall into the coverage area of any nearby 4g towers :(  I just need some straight forward advice on if I should be expecting improvement or if I'm just SOL.  Have a HTC one and get dropped calls, missed calls, barely usable data/internet,... the whole deal.  thanks!

Sometimes we stop in Menifee for Texas Roadhouse. Yup. Sprint is not that good in that area. The upgrades have been slow on the l215 from March ARB to Temecula.

Most of the sites are upgraded, just 1 is waiting full upgrade but they are far from your location. Maybe request an Airwave from Sprint to increase your coverage around the house?

Thanks guys.  Just had them send me an airave, so we'll see how that works.  Just wish it output 4G, but I guess that's what wifi is for anyway so no big deal.

 

Hope coverage increases in your area once all towers are updated and optimized.

Help needed with 3 Inland Empire Questions: My 2 year contract is about up, and I would like some help as I would like to stay with Sprint. According to maps, the Inland Empire is almost completely covered in LTE now, BUT most of the time I only connect to 3g, and when I do connect to LTE, it is super slow: less than 200 kbs recently (even in downtown LA next to the Staples Center Thursday night). Can anyone 'in the know' explain why 1. I am not connecting to 4g the majority of time, and 2. with Network Vision mostly completed and some 3g traffic migrating to 4g, why is 3g still so slow? I just reviewed the latest Rootmetrics reports for Riverside (which includes greater San Bernardino area), and the median download speed for another carrier in the IE is 21.6 mb/s! I would be happy with consistent speeds of 500+ kb/s! 3. Can anyone 'in the know' disclose when higher consistent download speeds might be expected?

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
    • Lots of time if you can get close to the pole, you will see a sticky label on the box that is low enough to read. Most of the time it warns of RF exposure but also it may have a toll free number to call if there is an issue. Sometimes there is a power company meter with the name of the user. I would be surprised if there was nothing there to help identify it.  Thinking further, if this is multi-Tenant oDAS, then maybe you might only see some name like Crown Castle or maybe even a department in the city government.   An app on your phone may show the carrier(s)
