I was just looking at the network.sprint map, seems that the waianae tower had 2 speed upgrades, anyone drive by there?

 

The map shows that these have been upgraded: 

- Mapunapuna

- Airport

- Halawa

- Salt Lake

- Radford

- Pearl Harbor

- Waianae

- Laie

- Kailua

- Enchanted Lake

- Kaneohe

- Heeia

- K-MCBH

 

That's a big improvement over last week.

I live in sea country and haven't gotten a signal yet. But I seen someone did a speed test in Waianae.

Got a strong signal again in Halawa.

Aloha, do you all automatically get lte? Or do you have to put into airplane mode or power cycle to receive lte? Co workers 3 of them telling me that they never see lte. One in Salt Lake area which is covered in sensorly, one in Kahuku, and the other in Nimitz in kalihi which is also covered in sensorly?

I automatically get it. Sometimes if I'm driving into an LTE area it won't connect until I'm stopped at a light. I've never needed to toggle airplane mode to get a connection.

Your phone should periodically scan for LTE.  If I am in a fringe area, I sometimes have toggle airplane mode when I take my phone out of my pocket.

 

If you install signal check pro, it has the option to log every tower you pass by.

I can force my phone to turn off and on data and typically it'll make LTE connect. On the freeway, my phone favors the 3G towers because signal is stronger but when I do the data disable it usually goes to LTE

Problem I have is my note 3 keeps jumping back to 3g. Is it because it's still a stronger signal than lte?

It may be that the 3g tower is much closer. If my LTE gets marginal to bad, like in my garage in Waipahu, it'll switch

You were probably the only one on LTE lol

If he is the only one on LTE, he should be hitting max 37-38Mbps on Band 25.  He is probably not the only person on LTE.

 

Here is an example:

    • Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile. 
    • T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.
    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.  
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
