If you had a handset as old as your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on VZW, you would lack band 2 and/or band 4.  On AT&T, you would lack carrier aggregation, band 29, and band 30.  On T-Mobile, you would l

Wow, came home today to B25 LTE! I am so happy, lol. Only got 4-5 Mbps down, but who cares right now about since I finally have it. This is the tower right near the 5 freeway and Red Hill in Tustin. J

Today I was at the Zara clothing store inside South Coast Plaza - a known Sprint deadzone for both voice & data - and to my surprise, I got an alert from SignalCheck Pro that I was connected to Sp

Looks like LTE towers are still on, the one in Brea is working, and the ones in Garden Groove too. Did so mapping again but dont see any updates on Sensorly. :(

 

LTE in Garden Grove is sooo slow. I had to turn off the LTE because the 3G was faster. :unsure:

Really? I did a speed test yesterday and results were 11 down, 4 up. Not slow for me.

 

Also, there is only 2 sites broadcasting LTE, and LTE signal is more sensible than 3G so that might be the reason.

Lucky..haha I get about 2 bars of LTE. Highest I got was 5.65 or something for down. Just wondering, where do you live? Looks like your signal is way stronger than mine ahah.

Just registered on this board to let you guys know that I just picked up LTE inside my house with my Note 2! Approximate location of the nearest cell tower is 17th Street and Prospect Ave in North Tustin/Santa Ana area. I was picking up about two-three bars and got a good 5-8 Mbps on three seperate Speedtests and the signal comes in and out, but is good.

You guys do realize that the signal strength the top of your phone doesn't indicate signal strength of 3G/4G. That's just voice coverage.

Will do! Just an update, I went out of my house and down the street to the actual intersection of 17th Street and Prospect in Tustin and consistently got 20Mbps-30Mbps! Now that's fast!

I'll be at Angel Stadium this Thursday. I want to map out more of the area around the 5 freeway and Ball Road. There are a couple of purple blips on the Sensorly map that I want to verify. I heard 4g is not available in that area even though the Sensorly map shows otherwise.

I have a question does anybody know if there's going to be 4g signal at angel stadium because the signal there is not that good

 

I commute every day for work and I havent been able to connect to 4G by the Angels Stadium.

Gah can't believe it's baseball season already. In other news, I dunno about everyone else but when I use sensorly online I don't see a lot of the area I feel should already be mapped out. I zoomed all the way in on the map and all the mapped areas appeared. So if you wanna see where 4g is truly, just zoom way in.

With the exception of a very small number of cell sites, all sites including ones labeled 3G will eventually be upgraded with LTE

I could give an exact number of those sites for OC, however I'd need Robert's permission to post that here since that info is only available in the Subscriber section.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
