In NYC right now and B41 is slooowww... Probably because it's over saturated in Manhattan

B41 is not over saturated, some sites have full speed backhaul some don't. But B41 rarely ever becomes unusable in NYC, unless the signal is below -110dBm.

 

Luckily the second B41 carrier and 4x2MIMO is coming very very soon!

Guess that's why I get no data inside the hotel, -122dBm[emoji22]

Waipahu. I think the b26 tower is far tho, only one bar

 

I was in NYC 2 weeks ago and B26 was OK. Penetrated indoor good, had fast LTE inside grand Central terminal

So what is the progress of HD voice.  I updated my GSIII to the NJ2 firmware in the beginning of Feb.  The very next weekend, on a drive to north shore, I noticed that a call to my wife's iPhone 6 has a new icon (HD Voice) somewhere around Chinaman's hat.  According to changelog, NJ2 added this HD Voice icon.  But after that intance, none of the calls to my wife's number show up as HD voice anymore.  I thought HD voice was supposed to have rolled out nationwide.  We have LTE coverage, but it doesn't appear HD Voice is turned on in town.  Anyone else notice HD Voice calls?

Then they definitely turned it on at one town at least one time...  since her car was just ahead of my car.

 

 

 

 

HD voice must be made from and to a tower with HD voice support. The only time I saw that was when my wife and I was at Caesar's palace in Vegas. Haven't seen it here yet

This may be a bit unrelated... but since iOS 8.3 is getting WIFI calling on Sprint (and free wifi calling when you are in another country, YAY), I decided to check status on my Galaxy SIII. And what do you know, Sprint has a Tutorial on how to activate it...

Except... it doesn't work. There is no WIFI Calling application. The tutorial was out in 2014. It's 2015 and I am on the latest firmware, someone must have messed up

Only works on galaxy s3T. Original s3 excluded like galaxy s4 and s4t.

Still no B41 yet?  Most sites on Oahu have an approved permit.

However, no new permit applications in the past few weeks.

 

But only a couple sites have permits actually issued. I've seen work done without a permit issued before, but if caught there is a significant fine for commercial work done without one.

Most have "approved to issue". Is that different than actually issued? How can we tell the difference?

As I recall, approved to issue means the city has reviewed the application and approved it. The contractor now has to go to the Fasi Municipal Building and get it and it will be issued. Contractors will wait because the job is not scheduled or they are waiting for other permits, materials, etc.

 

An approved permit will have a permit number and the status will change to under inspection.

Yes, what 808Bill said is correct. HI03XC393 is an example of "approved to issue" and HI03XC351 is an example of actually issused.

Thanks for the clarification.  Oh well.  Hopefully Sprint will have the backhaul ready whenever the crews start working.

    • Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.
    • 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.
