nexuss4g Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I follow the acceptance report... when it says updates were done in my area if i donate will i be able to see specifically where the update was done? After donating, you will have access to interactive maps that point the exact location of all Sprint towers and their acceptance level. Either 3G, 4G, 800... etc. and other cool info I live on the ouskirts of Rubidoux and noticed I was getting LTE just outside my house as I was leaving for work. It looks like the tower is off of Pioneer Street? I didn't lose LTE signal, until I was halfway up limonite Theres only 1 4G site accepted in your area so that is probably the site you are connecting to, its near the 91 freeway. The site you mention is near Rubidoux boulevard so pretty close to Pioneer Street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastfamily Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) There's only 1 4G site accepted in your area so that is probably the site you are connecting to, its near the 91 freeway. The site you mention is near Rubidoux boulevard so pretty close to Pioneer Street. That makes sense. The signal was pretty atrocious. But now within 5 miles from home I have at least 3 separate LTE towers that I can get signal to at least know its there.

glenavo34 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Worst nightmare would have been to come back today to the same spot and see the LTE signal gone but its up and seems better than yesterday. Speedtest showed 8.3Mbps down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jciota73 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The maps are great and I am glad I donated. Is there a way to see when the 3G only sites are slated for a LTE upgrade? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jes_jes_jes Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'm stoked that finally in the 92503 area of Riverside they've turned on LTE. I got a decent spends of 5-6mbps. I was at In N out off the 91fwy off Madison and Indiana. Anyone who where is the nearest tower?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nope, it all depends on backhaul and fiber availability. I'm stoked that finally in the 92503 area of Riverside they've turned on LTE.

Maybe its in testing.. I encourage you to donate to have more info of where towers are located. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jes_jes_jes Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Most likely yes..... It's in testing mode.. Pretty good lte signal of 18mbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jciota73 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Pretty shocked right now. I'm getting 3 bars of LTE at Mission and Avalon in Rubidoux. Last week I had only 3G and was averaging 0.1 Mbps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jciota73 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Jurupa valley is almost full LTE! good stuff.... 6 towers were updated today to LTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jes_jes_jes Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 To be able to see LTE tower upgrades you need to donate yes, but how much is the starting price to be able to see cell site upgrades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuisBOSS302 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 To be able to see LTE tower upgrades you need to donate yes, but how much is the starting price to be able to see cell site upgrades? Normally $5. But then you would want to become premier sponsor to get access to even better information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You might not be in range or LTE signal is weaker than your 3g, phone could have settings set as CDMA only and won't pick up LTE.

twospirits Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Previous rant by member removed. Just a heads up folks, S4GRU is not a place to complain. There are other places to voice your complaints about Sprint, it's service or lack thereof. Posts will be deleted and if a member continues to rant, they will be placed on suspension.

Mikey_Bloop Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I've been having problems with the service here in south ridge Fontana at the crossroads of live oak and walmac and throughout the entire neighborhood. I have an iphone 5 and where the sprint branding is on the status bar it's been showing extended with 1 bar. My calls and texts won't go through. I keep getting call failed and I get voicemails but I never received the call. It's not just my iphone it's on my moms and brothers iPhone 5c as well. This has never happened before so I'm wondering if anyone knows what's happening or if anyone else is experiencing the same problems?

I can see that most of the towers in Fontana have been upgraded with a few waiting for NV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_Bloop Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Seems like Network Vision is still happening around your area. I can see that most of the towers in Fontana have been upgraded with a few waiting for NV. It's weird because there is already LTE emitting from the tower on jurupa and live oak since November of 2013. And the 3G and LTE isn't as good anymore as it was in December-January. It use to be LTE 4-7mbps down and the 3G was 1-2mbps down but now the 3G is back to super slow and I can't even get 1 Mbps on LTE. Maybe they are still working on the tower or something. Hopefully they finish soon because I'm still having the failed calls and texts problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_Bloop Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Went to the sprint store in eastvale off the 15 freeway on limonite and noticed sprint spark on the display phone of the LG g flex. Ran speed tests and it was getting between 15-30mbps down and 2-10mbps up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also lets remember that 3G services gets turned on in clusters ( a group of upgraded sites at the same time) to avoid interference with other non-nv towers.

Jciota73 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I know this is a sprint forum but I love the work done on here to keep the sprint subscribers informed on the improvements taking place in their network. Does anyone know, specifically the administrators, of a T-Mobile forum with similar information(upgrades, LTE rollouts, etc.....) Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
