3g performance in yuma

Recommended Posts

So im shocked at how well this phone performs. I've seen no lag what so ever. Very happy with my purchase or gift...lol thats to be debated i suppose. I came from the galaxy s2 and with that phone I was able to to stay on roaming so it wouldnt go back and forth from roaming to barely any service. I mean it would but not as much as the evo lte would. But thats my only gripe....lovely device. I hope it serves me as well as my first android phone, the Droid Incredible...now theres a device. That phone was a workhorse...and considering it's three years old it actually is still pretty comparative to recent phones especially prepaid devices.

 

Btw, I was having 3g issues yesterday in wellton. The network was slow as molasses, but then again im not usually up during the time of day that i was on the network so that could have very well have been, but it still seemed more strained then usual.

The LTE can do forced roaming. Enter *#*#4636#*#* on dial pad, on the menu change radio to 800mhz and scroll down changing CDMA,LTE, Auto, to CDMA only.

 

 

 

Or you can root and put a custom ROM that allows you to change that. :-)

I will have to look into it, thanks. BTW I did try changing the radio and it worked. but when I want to come out of roaming do I just go back to 1900?

 

Yes

The sites that were reviewed were the one by Ave A and 32nd street By Kofa High and Ave B and 20th street.

Hopefully they also submitted some permits with Yuma County for us folks in the Foothills :)

I'm still rocking my EVO 3D, waiting to see what the next EVO iteration will be, but I'm leaning to the Galaxy S4.

Something definitely was up today. Had some training over at the Air Station and could not pick up a data signal at all...i mean nothing, not even 1x.

 

Tried PRL and profile update...got the error (67 I believe). Anyone else notice this issue in Yuma?

    • Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

    • 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.
