Network Vision/LTE - Hawaii Market (including Honolulu, Oahu and all Hawaiian Islands)

[kamaboko]

I have the HTC one max, how do you go about doing that?

[Nacron]

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.

You have to put your phone into LTE only mode. In this mode, you will not be able to receive phone calls or texts however.

 

Try googling for the steps to do this.

Should be able to send and receive texts in LTE Only mode. I do this all the time.

Hi everyone I just joined! Went by the airport to test out the lte but my iPhone said unable to connect to network data is it because my iPhone or it was just the tower?

Got a strong signal again in Halawa.

Last night had LTE at the bottom of red hill by the tripler exit but none after that

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

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

I did some mapping in Waianae. I had some 19mbs download speed.

Very nice. I see the purple clouds of goodness. So, who's up for a road trip to Kahuku?

Lol I wouldn't doubt it.

[mohihiboy]

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

[mohihiboy]

Thanks bill for The like

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

Anyone got any new updates?

Not sure if this is new, but on network.sprint it shows that the maunawili tower at the intersection of kamehameha hwy and pali hwy shows 2 speed upgrade.

[mohihiboy]

Nice!! I'll be at Waianae high school this Saturday. I'll map and speed test on sensorly if 4g is there

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:

Big update for Oahu. Oahu is NV 1.0 complete. Now just need to wait for backhaul. Hopefully 1x800 won't be far behind. Then 800LTE.

[mohihiboy]

Got a signal till the beginning of Waianae high school. Then got a weak signal at the football field
