bill875 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Any chance you had the Sensorly app installed and running to help map out the CLT market? If not, please consider helping with the mapping out of this deployment by downloading and installing Sensory. Even if you just have it set to passive mapping, it would be wonderful. You can also set it to actively map which is even better! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill875 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Ah ratz! Thanks Dkoellerwx, I should have known to look for that. Oh well, disregard then Thanks for the report, aglutz. Now if they can just start working their way North, that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Saw something interest today heading to work. Picked up a little bit of LTE at Exit 27 off I-85 in Belmont/Mt. Holly The speeds were a little slower than normal' date=' but it's nice to see a glimmer of hope! [/quote'] It looks like you had a mid strength LTE signal. Not unusual to get only 8Mbps download with that strength of signal. Thanks for the report. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkyle Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Picked up a new spot today. I had sensory running so it should be on the map soon, but it was a long drive and I'm not sure where it will be. Somewhere around where 77 and 85 meet just north of uptown is my best guess 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aglutz Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 LTE spotted in uptown. Outbound Brookshire. If the iPhone supported mapping, I would do it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhenning Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 It looks like the tower off Rama between Sardis and Monroe looks active.. I mapped this morning.. I also did some mapping along Sharon Amity last week that's showing up!!! That purple is filling in that area.... I would be surprised if Queens/Providence were active.. But I'll go home that way tonight and see.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccjester Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Looks like a spot popped up on 5th St near 77 in Third Ward too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aglutz Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Same spot as yesterday. Does anyone know what tower I may be connecting to? Belmont, NC. Soon as you get off of the highway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajamahal Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Same spot as yesterday. Does anyone know what tower I may be connecting to? Belmont, NC. Soon as you get off of the highway I tried to pick it up with sensorly this morning coming getting off 85 going east and heading home to mount holly but nothing. i did pick up that stretch in kings mountain though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly. If it helps any, I have to toggle airplane mode to pick it up. I lose it once i get on 85 so you've only got a few seconds to map it...

rajamahal Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Funny you mention toggling, because just like others on this forum my EVO4G LTE will not switch to the strong 4g signal 14mbps in kings mountain without toggling airplane mode. Ill be doing my darndest during a vacation this weekend in atlanta to get it switched out for a gs3. not sure if there would be on this specifc thread, but are there any success stories in doing so?

HokieTT Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It seems Sprint's deployment strategy was to follow me around to determine all the places in Charlotte I never go, and then upgrade the towers in those places first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only flaw in this strategy is that you will be stuck with a GS3. What about the Optimus? Does anyone here have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraPHiC1982 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Well it looks like my wife is wanting to take a trip to the Northlake Mall this evening. I haven't seen any sensorly blips in that area, so I'll be sure to be on the lookout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraPHiC1982 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Okay so didn't find any LTE at Northlake mall area, but I did expand a little on the sensorly map around the I-77 & I-85 interchange. On the way there my phone was in eHRPD mode and made the transition to LTE flawlessly, but on the way back the phone was in Evdo Rev A mode and it took an airplane mode toggle to get it to pick up LTE again.

smkyle Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yes. And it's amazing. Have you had any issues picking up LTE? With my EVO I usually have to toggle airplane. I don't have a good feel for how long it takes for the phone to switch over once you are in range of LTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a good feel for how long it takes for the phone to switch over once you are in range of LTE I wouldn't be able to give you a good answer yet. I drove out to the one LTE tower in my area the other day and it didn't immediately switch over. I've had my phone on CDMA only since I've had it and I switched to LTE/CDMA but only for a few seconds before I toggled airplane mode and then it connected.

smkyle Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My wife got an Optimus G yesterday. I'll be curious to see if it does 4G any differently. I might create a Tasker app that messages me when she is in range :-) first I'll have to figure out how to do that though...

I will be quite irritated if my 4G phone never switches from 3G on its own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraPHiC1982 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Robert (site admin) did some testing when he went to Waco a while back and found the EVO LTE didn't connect as well as other phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
