They are starting the ABQ market with the site next to my house. I just ran into subcontractors for Ericsson who are starting to upgrade my site in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. Unbelievable!!!

OK. I've now uploaded pics. I talked with the guys there. They are electricians hired by SBA. SBA is subcontracted to Ericsson. They are here to install the RRU's only today. My site here did no

Thank you! I have donated some money to the continuation of this site now.

You have been upgraded. Thanks for supporting S4GRU.

I tried to convince my inlaws to stay with sprint but they just moved 5 lines to tmo during the current promotion. They don't leave the city except up to Santa Fe now and then. Overall I think it is good move in the current time but in six months this could be a dumb/ redundant decision.

I was never able to get a signal in that spot that I took the test. I took multiple ones too and all were very similar. I was very surprised too.

I agree in case sprint doing the same promotion or no contract.

Anyone know what's up with the tower on carlise n Candleria I read that was a NV tower but recently the tower was going offline for long periods of time and high failure rates for handsets trying to make or receive calls. When I first got with sprint the tower was ok on data text n calls but my iPhone keeps going to 1x allot and the 3G is on and off 7 months ago it was bad, like 1 bar but now it's improved and I get 4 to 5 circles data from 1.67mbps to 0.05 at times. I drove by to see if any crews there but no one and I saw a Cingular Wirelss sign. Sprint has told me that is the one of many most used towers in ABQ and it's undergoing LTE upgrade.

Tmo is even patchy in Santa Fe. Mid Cerillos is a dead zone. Can't even make a phone call. Tmo is god awful between ABQ and Santa Fe too. Also, indoor coverage can be pretty crappy in ABQ. Where Tmo has zero bars, Sprint usually at least has one or two. But where Tmo is good, it's very good.

This is what i tried to tell them.  however, they took the bait today and switched.  Interesting, Tmo is making you turn in your phone for them to pay your early termination fee and it is only up to 5 lines.

How do we tell if a stealth/flag pole site has been updated. I have three around me with very large concrete walls and i don't want to jump it to see.

 

As an aside, I have not seen a site like this accepted yet on the maps.

I just got a brief 1x 800 signal near Alameda and Ventura. It came on and off quickly, the signal was -98 dbm so who knows where or how far away it was. The exciting news, Ericsson hardware somewhere around here was sending out smr!

Don't want to keep spamming you all, but now I just connected to smr on the big I site. I'm still sitting in the same location. They must be testing, bringing smr up permanently, or my phone is just playing a very cruel prank on me.

I hate to be so stupid, but so what does that mean for NV? There is a sign something is being turned on?

We already know that new hardware has been installed at most of the sites in ABQ. We have seen some faster 3g around town even. With the turning on of smr voice, your will see an insane increase in voice coverage. Take my experience today for example, I was picking up a usable voice signal miles away from the broadcasting site. What this means for lte, don't know. What it could mean is that there are still NV crews in the area which could mean lte integration could, and I emphasize could, be imminent.

      SignalCheck Beta Crew Forum

      By chamb · Posted

      I was traveling for a couple of days.   Sunday evening, I upload from 3 phones.  A S-22 and two Moto 5G phones.  Everything looked ok.    How do we explain that?   One person has issues and another person does not.  All my phones have the latest update.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.
