whfd930 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I live in Longview, TX, not sure if it is Shreveport, or Dallas market, but more than likely, Shreveport. Is there any updates to this area yet, and if there is, what are the projected dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It's in the East Texas market with Shreveport. Work just started in the market a few weeks ago. All the sites in the market will be upgraded to Network Vision standards. There is a map in the Sponsor section which shows the sites with work completed. More gets added every week as they complete.

rclongacre Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) 3G is off today in Texarkana, any chance they're upgrading? Edited February 11, 2013 by rclongacre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 3G is off today in Texarkana, any chance they're upgrading? They could be working on GMO sites out on the edge of town, but not likely in the city. It is more likely a backhaul problem or a switch problem.

Jeffrey_J Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 If anyone in the East Texas market would like to help out in keeping up with NV then go to this and thank you. It is in the Sponsors area so here is info about becoming a Sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtrill Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Athens, TX and Johnson City, TN. Congratulations! You now have Pre-Launch status! I live in the East Texas market about 30 mins east of Athens, tx in Tyler, Tx. Any news for that market or pre-launch dates (Tyler,Longview area) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtrill Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Ok I live in Tyler (75702) so hopefully I will see some pre-launch lte. Can anyone show what kind of towers I should be looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD ok so im guessing I should just watch for improved 3g so that must mean we won't have Samsung Gmo's since they can handle lte and 3g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 From what I was told by Area wide reps, and Store managers, and other sources, is that Tyler Should expect some LTE signal to arrive by the end of June. Hope it is true. I have seen some weird stuff happening with signal, and 3g lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Oh and near HW 155 and Grande I saw some people running new fiber on the Poles. There is a tower near there off of grande and Old noonday road. Possibly a good sign. If not for the sprint tower then , for Broadband internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easttxguy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 LTE is starting to appear in Nacogdoches and Lufkin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Lucky, were are waiting for the switch to go live in Tyler. Athens should have a good chunk of the city covered by now. Longview and Jacksonville to come soon. I heard that sprint(in Tyler) has been swamped with calls, and tickets for technicians to visit the site. Hopefully it is not slowing the process down. good to hear more sites going live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtrill Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Im going to drive around South Tyler today and use the "Lte Discovery" app and see what happens. I stay in the North end of Tyler and have had some strange things happen to my 3g signal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtrill Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Oh OK that makes sense. Yeah I knew they were working, just wasn't sure why they weren't making it known which cities they were doing the major upgrades at. I wish I could access the LTE only setting on the stock S4. That way I could drive around without having to keep using the airplane mode on/off feature. I will keep up with updates, and other towers finished when I see them. I'll be driving around the Broadway area today to see if I can discover anything.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'll be driving around the Broadway area today to see if I can discover anything.... I have driven to most of the Typer cell sites and no luck. Have seen some empty rooftop spaces where it looks like panels used to be downtown, amd on southbroadway and old grande intersection. I have seen several of the new rrus and panels on the site by the french Quarter the one on independence drive, chase building. Check that area out if possible. And the troup and the loop location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have suspicion that my phone is having some issues.unless you're running any custom roms on your s4 you should be able to pick up any 4g activity. I've had problems out of my Note2 with signal lately but whenever im in a 4g city like Dallas I have no issues but I do know custom roms can cause connectivity issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know any of the cell site locations downtown or how I can find them well the downtown site is close to the kltv building. On the east side of broadway. The panels blend it very well with the building color. But you can see them if you look real close. You can even see some whiter patches on the building where some used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
