sprintjs Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 What multiple users? I had a rep over there and he said that is was up and running. Getting up to 20mg download. So I am hoping it spreads west quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synovialbasher Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I don't see it on sensorly yet Guess I should have written it clearer. Finally 4g has arrived in Michigan, someone put it on sensorly please!. I guess in hindsight I'm suggesting the wrong thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCM Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm currently sitting 150 yds from the Howell LTE tower. Spent at least 10 minutes cycling airplane mode. Nothing but a maxed out 3g signal. Been driving around with no luck. Will try again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how to get in and force lte only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCM Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Do you know how to get in and force lte only Yes, did that too. I know the EVO LTEs have been fussy with 4G reception and signal lock but perhaps LTE is blocked for the night??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The site in Howell that has been called for inspection is the one by the High School. It hasn't been accepted by Sprint yet, so it will likely only be live when workers are present or while they are drive testing. If the inspection occurred this week, then they are likely working on the punch list. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the inspection occurred this week, then they are likely working on the punch list. Kinda what I was figuring being that I was there around 10pm. I have some errands to do in the Howell area on Saturday Jan 5 so I'll stop by once more. In fact, if you check 3G coverage on Sensorly for that site, you will see some gray dead zones. That's where I was messing with the settings on my phone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fawnhawk789 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Robert, How long do you think it will take to spread. Are there other sites ready for inspection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Robert, How long do you think it will take to spread. Are there other sites ready for inspection? I rarely find out about specific site inspections. I found out about the Howell site because the person involved was excited to see something about to come live in Michigan. As far as other sites, I know dozens more are In Progress in both West and East Michigan. I just don't know details yet. And I have no ideas about timelines either. I'm sorry I don't have more info at this time. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my first 4g Wimax device with the original Evo in the Phoenix Market, then went to the Evo touch and Galaxy 1, 2 Epic, and now Galaxy 3. So, as you can see have been waiting for a long time to have 4g. The time only I was ever able to us 4g with Sprint was in Vegas 2011 on WiMax during my wedding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tower is inside the school transportation grounds which has gated access. I'd say your assessment is correct. The contractors probably blocked LTE access when they left Friday since the bus garage won't be open unitl Monday morning. I don't think anyone will see LTE until that time. Just speculating... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synovialbasher Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Look what i found on sensorly got some purple up in michigain!! If you zoom out (until you can see multiple states) that lte dot becomes much bigger ;-) When will sprint finally admit that work is being done here? And when they do will sites start popping up much faster? So much for them being truthful about their rollout plans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
