Scroll back through this thread... I posted pics of several towers with no work as in no RRUs or new panels up. I posted pictures of one tower with workers mounting the RRUs and another with it completed. All very close pictures so you can see whats going on.

 

Yeah I have gone through all of the pictures and I completely appreciate you and everyone else posting them. The problem I am having is finding the towers at all in the Warehouse District/CBD/Garden District areas (Which are near my Condo). The ones near Lee Circle are pretty easily identified but some of the others I just can't find. They don't seem to be regular towers per say, but are probably more along the lines of some of the other pictures I have seen of roof mounted etc. Because of this I have focused more on finding work trucks in the areas I know the towers to be.

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

Boom...nice! NV'd! Seeing more towers renews my hopes of seeing something within the next 20 days and makes me want to go tower hunting. Would it be wrong or just nerdy to play hooky and drive around to 10-15 Sprint sites? ;)

 

Playing hooky is seldom wrong and being nerdy makes the world go round. I am getting ready to do both.

I just got a carrier update for my iPhone and now when I have LTE on it doesn't drop the connection it just goes from 3G to 1x and if it doesn't find anything it goes back to 3G.

 

Still weird..

I still say there is something wrong with your phone. You should get that checked out.

There is supposed to be a site in covington currently being worked on. I have also heard that the regional manager for all these sites is utterly incompetent, so expect work to get done at a snail's pace.

 

Also, site NL03XC507 is done. Has been for a few weeks. IDK about the 800, but it should be broadcasting. I'm guessing it's the regional manager's fault for not updating the status.

 

Has anyone been out to this site yet? This is the one that was previously spotted in this thread near the old Six Flags site. If you can check it out please make sure you cycle airplane mode and make sure your phone is on CDMA/LTE mode too. And mark it with Sensorly! ;)

And if you can snap some panel pics where we can confirm NV work is under way, we can add it to the In Progress map.

Going up Perkins Rd on my way for lunch today I glanced over at the tower (http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2198-network-visionlte-new-orleans-market/page__view__findpost__p__62042) behind Baton Rouge Clinic by the railroad tracks. Hoping as always to see some ropes dangling down or something, but nothing, although with a second glance I noticed the top of a small crane just barely stinking above the trees but not tall enough to reach the the panels. Circling around on Picardy, I found that in addition to the crane there was a truck, a pickup and some some guys. It looked like they were lifting a cabinet over the fence and unloading some pallets of equipment on the ground.

Ah, it did new interesting things this time.

Menu options are such:

 

1x Engineering

EVDO Engineering

Configuration

Bluetooth

Data Status

Memory State

 

Under 1x Engineering, when I click, at first I see one of the fields, "Band Class: US Cellular (800 MHz)", but then it flips just to "US" after 1 second.

I don't know what these other things mean, like "SO" "Channel" "SID" "NID" "Base ID" "PN" "P_rev" etc. In that first second, State is also "N/A" but after that, it switches to "Idle: Initial", "SO: 0", "Channel: 25."

OH! It just changed. State: TrCh: Traffic, SO: 33, Channel 150. Just flipped through some other states and went back to Idle. It looks like it lost 3G coverage and went to 2G for a moment before regaining the signal.

I don't see eHRPD on any of the menus. It's all either 1x stuff or EvDo Rev. A.

 

Thanks for the help.

Correct me if I am wrong but the Motorola Admiral is not an LTE phone. Non LTE phones don't connect to eHRPD. You will never s it in the menus of a non LTE phone.

 

Sent from a phone using an application. That's pretty cool.

The Covington tower is at the intersection of highway 1085 and I 12. I saw a truck and crew working a few weeks ago but no change in service.

If you can go to it, take a picture of it. Curious if it has RRUs up.

I passed by the tower near the old Six Flags site. It looks identical to the pictures already posted. No LTE connection active and 3G speeds were about what you would expect being near a tower but not exceptional.

The tower at Crowder Blvd@Lake Forest Blvd(NL13XC505) is complete and the tower at Chef Menteur hwy@Old Gentilly Blvd(NL70XC698) behind the Popeyes is done aslo.

Where is the tower behind Popeye? Is it the one next to the interstate? I went by it yesterday and it looks the same and that tower really needs some upgrades 3G is useless even when standing by it.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
