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

While I wait for the Ericsson approval guy to come get his beer donation from me and bigzeto in Baton Rouge, I have been digging through through the hidden menu apk on the Note2. Found some interesting tidbits on how they read the LTE info on the debug screen. I did find some limits on the LTE timer dialog settings. I removed them.. Oops.. Does it make a difference? Dunno yet. Time will tell.

Covington is lit up and going strong. Haven't had time to get screenshots of debug, but I will when I can. Speedtest reached 22mbps down, 13mbps up!

 

Had sensorly running while driving to work, it should update soon.

 

I see it on Sensorly now when zoomed in. It will show up on the other layers later. Might be able to figure out which site it is from your plot to put it on our spreadsheet.

Allright guys I need some sensorly help.

 

I have been to the algiers ferry twice now in the last 24 hours and also visited several other spots that are dark purple on the map and I cannot get any 4g. I cycle the airplane mode and still only get 3g. Can someone tell me how to set it up? I have run the sensorly logging deal and collected over 1000 points for 3g but zero for 4g.

When you go into your settings, mobile networks, it is set for CDMA LTE right?

 

Try toggling it to cdma only if it is, then back. It should make you reboot.

 

If that still doesn't help. Try profile update and prl update. I think you can force it by dialing ##Update# too.

Thanks digi. That resolved the issue.

 

Looks like the westbank purple has more than doubled overnight. I also took a pic of the tower close to me to post, I think it has the rru deals but I will let y'all confirm.

I will be driving down Hwy. 190 towards I-12 later today, and will run sensorly during that time as well.

They all look the same to me haha. Too good to be true, only 4 blocks from my house.

 

The RRUs are the same but Sprint will have a larger panel with 3 or 4 RRUs per sector. Very easy to spot as they are very unique. See below:

What is the location (nearest intersection)? We keep track on a spreadsheet in the sponsor thread of sites with no work, RRUs up, and active sites.

Not sure if you Sensorly addicts have seen this thread but there is a test build of Sensorly that shows the additional LTE sector info on the details screen. I haven't seen it so I'm not sure if it is the hex, decimal, or three digit code of the LTE sector. Apparently the S3 is one on the list that it works with.

From the poland ave tower , 1 mile north west of it.

 

If you were that close to that tower with a clear line of sight, your relatively weak signal of -105 dBm RSRP is a good indicator that this signal is actually coming from somewhere else. It could be miles away.

I drove by the Tchoup at Orange St tower and no LTE but there was a white truck parked in front of it with a worker inside it. Wasn't an Ericsson truck but a MasTec Wireless. Any chance they are helping out?

484 is indeed the Japonica St. At Marais site though.

 

I misread patrickdurhamno's comment, mistaking the comma for a decimal point. A signal strength of -105 dBM RSRP is much more consistent with a full mile, rather than a tenth of a mile.

Hmm.. I saw a Mastec wireless van the other morning. Totally didn't think of it as I know Mastec for satellite work.

 

Yes, any sub could be seen. As its a sub of a sub of a sub world out there where the ones doing the work get paid very little to climb.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
