digiblur Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I am getting sector 214 very weak veterans @ Carrollton. I do not believe we have seen that yet. It is not the live oak one. Hmmm. Looks like another new site.. You guys are making me jealous. Sent from my little Note2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevins669 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I went all the way to severn, so it is not the one near Causeway, so that leaves 3 other possible ones in Metairie. Could be the one off I610. I am using the MA4 leaked radio, and this thing is very sensitive. I was getting the Airline Hwy site on West Esplanade (though unusable).

Sent from my little Note2 Don't worry, we have seen so much work take place in the last 45 days, things will start going faster. On another note...without completely hijacking this thread, any idea why I can't get the 800 prl to write? I think I have tried everything... EDIT: Finally got it. After about 20 reboots, I moved the file from the root directory, attempted write, then moved it back. Worked on the next write. FYI, also got the new 25012 PRL in the middle of all of this.

digiblur Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Sometimes it takes many reboots. I gave up one day after 6 tries. Tried the next day and it worked then first time. Glad to see you got it. Keep an eye on that SID and see if it changes to a 224xx one. CDMA field test is quick way to check. I can't seem to find any work though in our area besides the one site the other day. And no telling how long it has been like that.

Dbrow43 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 2 things 1 can you direct me to a post that explains the 800 frequency and what the means for the end user 2 can you repost to this thread your spreadsheet of the sites and their status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 800 means better coverage and better in building coverage. Will get off my can and post the instructions on how to use it within the hour. Sent from my little Note2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One tid bit of help... 214 means you will be on the 2nd sector. So the site is probably west to North of you.

Slimboutit Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Im noticing a lot of lte in the westbank now good to see things moving better and quicker somehow. Actually does someone know. It seems like everything on the westbank right now is coming from 2 towers here (3 if you're including Luling) with some random spots being lit up from the eastbank.

ktulu909 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yep, just two sites over here. Nothing out by me in westwego. Still. I think the NV panels are for decoration on my site. Been up four months now and still nothing. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been up four months now and still nothing. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Got some similar decorative panels and RRU's over here in Laplace. Biggest problem is they are literally visible right out my front door. So ever time I walk outside it is what I see. It is sort of frustrating I kind of wish I didn't know it was upgraded. I certainly wouldn't toggle airplane mode near as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmuskratt Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Looks like we're starting to see the sites coming up a little bit faster now. Perhaps the rain delays pushed back the Superbowl LTE extravaganza by a couple weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the rain delays pushed back the Superbowl LTE extravaganza by a couple weeks? Probably, we would be further in the lte process if it wasn't for the delays. But I believe they are trying to catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmuskratt Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm going into default LTE Only/Sensorly when I drive around town now, just in case that mythic Broadmoor tower ever kicks on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks to a message from bigzeto stating he saw a new EVDO carrier downtown I checked my phone and it was flying. Sure enough I was on the new carrier too. I hope carrier 100 goes to die here or the tech fixed it. Now does this mean they are delaying the LTE upgrade at this site since it got a legacy upgrade? This answers why I saw the ATT guy there yesterday though. I can use my phone again at work... Woohoo! I have NEVER seen this here at this time of day. 1500/600! Just made my day if this sticks.

bigzeto Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yep, and the funny thing about it was that I had gotten really fed up this morning as I couldn't use my phone for work reasons, so I shot an email off to the ticket support guys in OK letting them know about the issue. I got a response back from a rep asking me for the ticket number. I let him know there was no open ticket, but that there have been multiple tickets opened on this site for various reasons. Within an hour or so, I noticed my phone had a lock on EVDO on channel 175. I'm not saying it had anything to do with my email, but it was pretty interesting with the timing. I will say I am very excited about getting LTE here, but I am even more excited about having a reliable EVDO network. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very rarely do I catch a site achieving like this, it's usually a rural/edge coverage site where there are not that many customers. This is like having a 4G upgrade to me. Up from sub 100k and sometimes 0k not working. I'll take it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
