Some information we have received regarding the CDMA 800 deployment.     PRLs During the initial buildout/activation:   LTE devices will not prefer 800 over 1900, but will not actively switch ban

I doubt LTE 800 is running in New Orleans as they haven't even lit any 1x800 in the metro area of New Orleans yet. Only distant 1x800 sites from the Northshore have been picked up.

That's why I said and maybe NO - I know we know Robert mentioned Montana for sure, but I couldn't remember for sure what the second fit was. I had thought it might be NO.

The Ericsson Band 26 FIT was slated to be in the New Orleans market and run concurrent with Samsung's Montana Band 26 FIT. I did get confirmation of the Montana FIT, but never the NOLA one. I also never heard of any ALU Band 26 FIT either.

Does anyone have any update on the IBEZ issue? Are there any upcoming meetings or votes? Do we have an idea when things may be resolved?

I don't think anything will happen in 2013 at all.

Do they need to have FITs before they can start deploying?

No, but some of our readers have fits if Sprint is not deploying quickly enough to suit them, and then we have to kick their asses, Jean Gary Diablo style.

I believe Robert isn't getting the reports on 800 acceptance like he is lte and 3g. So its up to us the community to find them. On that same note the S4gru crew isn't going to change color on the map unless there is very good facts that a site is truly turned on and it is in fact that site and not another one close  by.

I get 800 reports typically every week. And they largely seem to be in Samsung and Shentel areas only the past six months.

I had a question about how long from starting broadcasting on public prl to accepted? I have 5 towers close to live going on 3 weeks and 4 near cranberry pa going on 2 weeks. Does the towers which were suppose to be GMO with no 800 have something to do with that?

Is this site 800Mhz? This site has been broadcasting LTE for months.  If it is indeed the 800Mhz port connected, would be first confirmed 800Mhz site in San Diego...?

 

Who's gear is on the bottom rack? It was never there last week.  Is it TDD-LTE gear?

Even if it's connected it can't be broadcasting... San Diego is in the IBEZ.

I have been to over 20 sites in San Diego, they are not connected and capped off... Who's gear is on the bottom?

Actually no no no. That's Sprint PCS ALU RRUs. Those are T-mobile Nokia Siemens Networks FLEXI RRUs and antenna.

Forgot SoCal was ALU... :P

 

Then T-Mobile actively expanding its network.

Does it seem right for port 800Mhz to be connected?  If you follow the cable down, it goes to the smaller RRU which is mounted behind the T-Mobile antenna.

 

Its the first site of its kind in San Diego..  I have verified many sites in San Diego and 800Mhz are all capped off.

I don't see an 800 RRU. Only PCS.

Aren't those small ones in the background 800 RRU?

 

No, certainly not. Not big enough. I think those are related to the T-Mobile gear.

-- on second look, I can't figure out what those small ones are, still don't think they're part of the Sprint gear --

 

Alcatel Lucent 800 RRUs look the ones up top here.

      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!

      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.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
