kingroy Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well I added what I could. 10 and Gratiot appears to be the epicenter. Went down to 7 mile and turned around. Hoover is where it fades in and out. I have lte a mile away from my house which sucks but I have wifi so no biggie Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obas Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Here are some pictures of some guys upgrading an American Tower in Warren, MI (11 mile and Mound Rd). I am lead to believe it's a Sprint tower. Sorry about the pics I zoomed in a much as I could. http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o795/obas2/4445/CAM00273_zps4ea2214c.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o795/obas2/4445/CAM00272_zps86114869.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Great to see all this 4G coverage around metro detroit! I'm surprised my puny town of Eastpointe is seeing LTE coverage so early. I have a concern though... Eastpointe is very small and I can get an LTE coverage anywhere in the city that I've tried so far. However, it seems no matter which building I enter, my 4G connection drops instantly and my phone switched to 3G. Will the building penetration of LTE get better as more towers get the upgrades and we approach the official launch of this area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All LTE signals drop when you go indoors about 8-12dBm or even more in some building types. If you have a weak LTE signal, within the last 8-12dBm to the threshold, you will be dropped when you go indoors. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2040-bars-lie-for-lte-signal-strength-how-to-determine-your-actual-lte-signal-strength/ Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trucker29 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I spotted some new LTE on Sensorly in Belleville around Sumpter rd & Dunn rd. Not to far from my home. Wish iPhone allowed Sensorly mapping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris** Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Alright, updates. Midland mi, 4g lte covers every inch of midland as far north as wheeler road to Washington street intersection then south to Salzburg and Saginaw rd. the tower by the mall is provisioned I believe, just not active for lte yet, 3g went from 200k to over 1000k so that appears indicative of impending upgrade to lte. From wheeler road all the way to damn near Garfield lte pulling between 15-28 mb down and anywhere from 2-9 mb up. For some reason US10 is just south of the lte range and havent seen lte east of flajole rd overpass on US10 all the way to bay city, although I have a strong suspicion they are next for tower upgrades. Just north of US10 toward wheeler in the country has great lte signal -90 db or better in most places toward wheeler road but only west of Garfield and wheeler intersection. Went north fri night. On way found tower north of Sanford lake north exit was producing lte.when I passed the same tower last night, I didn't see it. It went active today if I had to bet my left ball. Tells me sprint truly is picking off towers and upgrading as they can. I found 2 random lte towers on way north up US10 north of midland.., so for those of you who read these forums, and crave any info about what is going on... I can say this much, sprint had zero lte sites mapped on sensorly on dec 31 2012 in michigan. As of today, the map doesn't even come close to reflecting what lte towers are active in my area, it shows some, but coverage is way bigger than sensorly shows. Before I saw lte for the first time at home, i trusted sensorly data as though it mapped o ly what existed... If u see a purple bubble... Good things to come. if I had android still... I'd be busy mapping it for the cause... Rest assured sprint is busting ass based on all data I've seen. Michigan has gotten upgrades for lte at an unprecedented pace, and there isn't any rhyme or reason to the rollout, they just knock out everything they can and are really doing a great job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris** Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 If anybody reads this and has ability to upload data to sensorly... Please do your due diligence and take a ride through midland... From the corner of wheeler and garfield, all the way to Washington, south from there to... Salzburg n Saginaw? Salzburg to Waldo... Waldo back to wheeler... Everything encompassed inside that region should rightfully be lte. I see it daily. Best speeds r 33 down, 10+ up, and -60ish dBm in high signal strength spots. I have to say, this is like Christmas morning getting lte service when u own a slingbox. :} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilTeddyP Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Seems like some testing going on in South Lansing, MI. Around Cedar/Edgewood to Cedar/Willoughby. Live and work very close to those locations (which are close as well) and am pulling it at home and at work on the iPad. Speeds aren't as good as I've seem elsewhere and with other carriers yet but it's a start. Only getting about 6Mbps down, <1 up and ping is usually between 75-300. Weird thing is, is when I pull it on the iPad, my time rolls back an hour. Which I'm no engineer but it seems to me like they are "piggybacking" off a Chicago signal or something to test cause Chicago is the nearest full LTE rollout that I'm aware of and they are an hour behind. I am a sales rep for sprint and they haven't said anything to us about it. Anyone else in the area? When I went down to Ohio last weekend, I picked it up for a few minutes between Howell and Brighton on 96. And I was just in Saginaw that is supposed to be lit up and they didn't have it as of 3 nights ago.

Only like a 15 minute drive west for me :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucker29 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Drive to Belleville last night and ran a couple of speed tests. I have at attached the best one. I was also surprised because I was able to get LTE at the corner of Willow rd and Waltz rd! If I had an Android phone I would definitely join in the fun of Sensorly mapping.

I drove north to Claire and took 10 down to Midland I tried to map the boundaries of the 4g around Midland. just wanted to let you know so you could take a look at it if you want. there's quite a bit there I put over 200 miles on my car today lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synovialbasher Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ahh still awaiting coverage in Macomb. I know! That's the only area I commute daily! Nice to see it popping up everywhere else though, shows impressive speed and progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake2123 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Looks like it has popped on in a small area around Hall Road and I-94 in Chesterfield / Harrison. It's nice to see the quick progress, but I can't wait till they have it up in Warren and Sterling Heights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngeos Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just south west of Belleville right now trying to map it.The 4G is in and out. I have to cycle airplane mode a bit. My brother told me last night he has had 4g on and off at work by Warren and Haggerty (I275) in Canton. I haven't seen it yet. I have to say I am quite amazed at the pace of progress in the area. I hope it continues. Also, thanks to everyone posting mapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Stupid hosting sites.. I had an LTE connection at Geddes and 23. Also, this morning, I was taking State St. south and picked up LTE as I crossed 94 (like by Briarwood). I made a left (so headed east towards Ypsi) on Ellsworth and held onto LTE until I hit Golfside. So that's basically all of Ellsworth from State St. to Golfside. If only I could have mapped that on Sensorly from my iPhone (although, I did write a very detailed email in French to Sensorly asking that they release an app for jailbroken iPhones -- or allow manual uploads via screenshots lol). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
