blkkatana Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 @redskykiterGood to see a new poster around here. Would you be able to use a program like SignalCheck (or equivalent) and post the SID and BID values. I just wonder which tower you are connecting to. Would need on a good and bad day.I can tell you for a fact that the closest tower to you has had this issue with one cell for sure. Off and one for the last month. Also when it happened for me I was constantly jumping around 6 towers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjim715 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Thankfully our contracts are up in May. Sprint has us until then....I think we've been on Sprint since 98. It's never been this bad. Lucky, I'm regretting resigning. Half tempted just to pay termination fee tired of nothing getting resolved half people I call I have to call twice because when they answer first time all I hear is myself. Told sprint but it's always same answer "upgrading" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskykiter Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) @redskykiter Good to see a new poster around here.

I can tell you for a fact that the closest tower to you has had this issue with one cell for sure. Off and one for the last month. Also when it happened for me I was constantly jumping around 6 towers. My problem I believe is tower SID: 4126, BID: 44852 (xAF34). I'm assuming it's next to Rudy's Hot Dog on Summit. Signal bounces between 85-111dBm. (however it seems fine right now) Edited December 8, 2013 by redskykiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskykiter Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 missed one: It's SID 4126, BID 514. This one seems OK Sorry no pic, I exceeded allotted disk space for attachments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkkatana Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Based on what I have written down for these towers.Ketukkee Trail is the one behind Meijer. Waldorf is over by I-280 Rudy's is actually the 514 (hex 202) The last one has got me. That is a new 3G site for around here. Guess I really need to check that site Ryan asked me to a week ago and have been busy.edit: I spend a lot of time in this area so these are the towers I have the most data for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskykiter Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If it helps the BSL listed for 44852 is my address on 119th near summit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskykiter Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Sorry for spamming. So I just figured out (by dialing *99) that I am connecting to someone's air rave... This may explain my crap signal?? Do air rave's have their own BID? If I'm not connected to this BID 44852 everything works fine. Any suggestions on how to not connect to a neighbor's air rave?

redskykiter Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Thanks @blkkatana. I Spent the morning on chat and phone yesterday with sprint. He tried to find the neighbor with the airrave and couldn't. "WOW this person must really have that thing cranked to the max" Regardless, they are sending me a free air rave.

redskykiter Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Is there any word on whether Toledo will get 1x800? I enjoyed it in Chicago a few weeks ago and noticed near Monroe yesterday 1xRTT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it in Chicago a few weeks ago and noticed near Monroe yesterday 1xRTT..... In a nutshell, yes. Each new network vision site has 2 new RRU's..1900 and 800.... As far in Monroe, those sites only have 1900 up... On the outside of West Toledo which where I live in sylvania, they been tested 800 only at one site Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also connecting to the most southern accepted site in Michigan also. edit: Check the screen shot for that. At my house I had a -105 RSSI -22.0dB Ec/Io. It would rate that as almost usable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballjim715 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Not much help here but saw major work being done at the tower right of Conant Street and Anthony Wayne trail. I would post bsl but I'm driving all day for my job. Had a ton of trucks along with a crane at the top of tower so if I get a chance to go by it again I'll post bsl.
