Anyone having issues with LTE? I work out in belle chasse and it does not connect anymore near Engineers Road. I also carpool to work and on the way to work I noticed I was not getting any LTE on the I-10 to New Orleans. I called Sprint yesterday and she mentioned they were upgrading towers in my area, but I am sure it can't be every tower. Even did a hard reset and still having LTE trouble.

Triband device?

Think you found a new LTE site in your area? Please help us by getting some information from the site. If you find a new LTE site in the market or what you may think is a new site, drive close to wha

And of course I saved the best of last, the Addis, LA site (interesting site). Only 2 sectors on this one by design since there's really nothing on the backside of this one except for marsh/fields, e

The legacy site that just won't stop. Downtown Baton Rouge legacy rebuild.  New single band antennas, new coax, and legacy cabinets moved from the roof to the sidewalk during the building construction

Someone is forgetting a step on the list. So now your phone along with many others are getting blocked from using LTE. Lots of phones end up on 3G and data issues then start.

 

Once Ericsson gets the CSFB configured correctly on their launched 800LTE there it will start working again.

I'm on engineers tower on lte posting to here right now so maybe it's just an issue on just the sector that faces versabar.

The S3 isn't affected by Ericsson forgetting the CSFB patch on the new customer launched band 26 sites.  Only the newer devices that have the walmart logo feature on them. 

 

They don't know any better, they are rolling out things in their eyes testing with their aircards and EVO LTEs. Just keep calling in or email Dan@Sprint.com.

Possibly since he and all the other sparky devices are on EVDO in the area now.

 

The site with 3G issues could also be getting the B26 upgrade right now and it is being provisioned.

It could be your phone.  I have an M8 as well and even though I am having the Band 26 issues, which are Sprint's issues, my phone is connecting to 3G just fine as well as LTE towers outside of the Band 26 ones.

It possibly is the phone. I did a profile /prl update yesterday. I than noticed my lte wasnt working in Belle Chasse. called sprint  told me they were updating the tower and that was only reason why. So on way home i noticed i wasnt getting any lte on interstate and usually i do ( i carpool so i was not driving). At the gym i think i got LTE in metairie.  But anywhere else i went the 3g just didnt seem to be connecting.  This morning I was having LTE issues again and 3g so i did a hard rest.  The phone wont connect to LTE, 3g  and it constantly  tells me its roaming.

I live in an area surrounded by b26 towers and I do notice when I head out to work my phone doesn't always connect to B25 towers without toggling Airplane Mode.

Gentlemen I went to Sprint store basically it was the network. Not getting LTE in a lot of areas but was told there upgrading towers and getting ready for Spark here in Nola.

Not really. There will not be any Spark here for quite a while.

 

They just use the upgrading thing anytime something is wrong. We just call it Ericsson being Ericsson and screwing stuff again.

Than he was saying whatever to shut me up. Just sensorlyed my entire trip to work and I see lot of purple but not once did I get 4 g LTE. They may be overhauling and upgrading every tower in New Orleans Metairie and west bank.

Only thing they are getting ready is to spark is some pissed off people walking off cause of no / poor service.

Yes, rollling out another LTE band should have minimal issues with the current rolled out band, but unfortunately that isn't the case.

Yes, many of us have heard this over and over, it's the typical excuse that the front line folks use.  Cry wolf syndrome.  I explained the reason a few post up above I believe on why.  They are rolling out 800LTE and your phone is jumping over to it.  Well Ericsson forgot the CSFB patch that allows your phone to receiving phone call setup message and text messages over LTE.  Since that patch isn't on the sites your phone basically says "Nope, I need phone calls and text."  So it jumps down to 3G mode and ignores the 1900 LTE band as well. 

 

Maybe they will fix it in a couple days or weeks.  It's the trials and tribulations of living in an Ericsson market that either one doesn't have the proper tools and/or didn't receive the proper training.

Also one other thing... for Spark (aka Band 41), they'll have to file for permits in New Orleans before they even put up any equipment.  I haven't seen that yet.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
