1x800 can be used by basically almost every phone released in the past 3 years. Nothing to do with "Spark" which denotes the Band 41 TDD-LTE deployment.

Downgraded my prl with less 1x800 priority and my call quality has increased

So what is with the older Sprint phones, lets say Wimax handsets? 800 voice was avaolable or just 850?

[skinnyguy]

When Sprint upgrades its towers to the new hardware, the new hardware is turned on all at once, on all neighboring towers.

 

Old equipment and the new equipment do not play well with each other.

 

This is too avoid dropped calls in the case if a customer's phone is switching from one tower to another tower that has older equipment.

Strange, I never saw 1x800 on the LTE Discovery app on my Note 3 but I see it all the time on my new Note 4 Edited December 29, 2014 by Nacron

some more permits got issued on Oahu.  Updated my map.

Thanks. Although they technically were approved, not issued. The city can sometimes be notoriously slow between approving and issuing permits.

 

On another note, the tower closest to my house had a permit issued Mar 10, 2014 for B25. Inspection May '14 - Work not started, Inspection Oct '14 - Work not started. Sad panda

A few more permits.  Updated the map.  Any LTE 800 sightings yet?

One thing I'm curious about: with 1xA 800 and 800lte, how far away on the water can you receive it?

Interesting experiment once 800 is deployed.

[skinnyguy]

is 800lte any diff from what we're getting now?

 

on another note, went to cali earlier this month and talked to someone on the phone that had a hd audio capable phone.  damn!  that is crystal clear!

 

a shame ppl hardly talk on the phone nowadays....either that or everyone else i talk to here isn't on sprint.

It should penetrate buildings better. In Vegas I only had HD voice inside Caesars Palace

no LTE 800 for me but 1x800 downtown

[bbspot]

Two approved b41 permits, and one new one.

 

One of the approved permits only took 12 days to approve.  World record.

 

Anyone see the antennas yet?

[Nacron]

Interesting, I'm seeing band 26 LTE in Waipahu.  800 is starting Getting 14mbit on band 26 and 5mbit on band 25.

By the end of the year, every single site will be triband, and even have two carriers.

[Nacron]

Band 26 1 bar

How's service lately? Is LTE pretty stable on oahu or atleast Honolulu? I'll be there end of the month.

For the most part it's stable, you'll probably get eHRPD indoors as it seems there is only one b26 site on the island. Most of Honolulu and Waikiki is good

any b41 sightings yet?  I updated the map.  More sites have been approved.
