So if we're going GMO then that shows we're not going to get the benefit of 800 in building coverage unless they come back and update the GMO option to tower mounted panels?

The Providence metro area is full build. It's just the rural towns around RI that are GMO. And GMO's are only temporary. They will be converted to full build at the end of Network Vision.

Just caught sight of some LTE testing in Lincoln Rhode Island! A small blip is now visible on sensorly. The signal was not consistent or fast but it continued to show up sporadically. Hopefully we see

I'm just as excited to see dependable, consistent, 3G speeds showing up. Increased signal strength will help in a few areas and 800Mhz will be the icing on the cake.   Other than when I tether on a

I'd like to share a little story with my fellow RI peeps.     I had reported a service issue on Block Island (where I spend a lot of time in the summer working) and I received a call from someone w

I want to know where the sprint towers are around where I go so I can look at the tower and see if its been updated then break in and turn it on!

Be a sponsor and u can find out the locations of the sprint towers.

No, you do not pay for "4G data."  No one on Sprint does.

 

Additionally, S4GRU is not a complaint board.  We do not host rants.  Read the rules:

So my service has sucked the last few days as well as slow to no 3G. I called sprint and the customer service rep couldn't figure out why and escalated it to the engineers. I got a call almost an hour after and they told me the towers I use the most are in the process of being worked on for the network vision. I drove to the tower in west Warwick by the high school and sure enough there working away on it. They have been there for over a week now. I was told that the towers are done in clusters so three in my area are being done now. I asked if lte was going to be turned on after and she couldn't answer that because it depends on approval and other factors

LTE is also live in Providence...I drove past the site at Hope & Olney this morning on my way into work and had five bars (or balls with iOS 7) on my iPhone 5s

It looks like it's starting. A site in Warwick and Johnston is also reported on the maps.

 

Probably months away before anything significant but it's a start.

Make a donation here and you'll get access to the tower maps telling you exactly what ones are accepted so you know what direction to head in to map. Saves you driving around and as a bonus helps keep this place running.

 

fyi robert is in the process of moving so you might not get activated immediately...

      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.
