As a follow up, actually, my wifes SIII is working fine. Called Sprint, they claim there is a nationwide outage that can affect some phones and not others. Any of you having issues with EVO data connectivity? At the end of the day I feel pretty strongly it's a device issue. HTC really did drop the ball on this device, don't think they'll be getting any more of my money.

LTE in hanover pa has been sketchy. sometimes it work and sometimes not. my one friend is a rep for sprint and says that shentel says the panels keep frying themselfs, not all at once but different sectors at a time. one day ill have -95 for lte then it slowly over 2 days fades away to nothing. I guess the RRU's are frying or someting.

I've been having difficulties with 3G and LTE in the Hershey, PA area. Just a week ago I was pulling down great LTE coverage at work, better so than in weeks past, but this week I haven't been able to connect to LTE at all and 3G has been sluggish. I also have a tri-hotspot and it reverts to Wimax now because the signal on LTE has been poor.

I'm having a lot of trouble with lte and 3G in the Bay Area the past few days....did they say anything more specific other than a nationwide outage?

 

Bay area... California? That would have nothing to do with Shentel issues. Shentel is only in PA, MD, VA and WV.

I'm aware. In the second post of this thread, he mentioned that sprint claimed there was an isolated, yet nationwide outage.

Oh, right. Late night. Fairly certain that was a cop out, does that really sound like something that would happen?

 

Lots of work still going on in the Bay area with NV upgrades. It's possible the problems you've been having are related to that. Or any number of things.

Yea, that's what I thought haha. Definitely something sprint representatives would say. That's likely it, there most definitely has been a lot of activity in the Bay Area lately.

Yeah, and unfortunately Sprint probably won't be much help either, as there isn't "officially" any LTE in the area, with the exception of a couple communities north of the area, Santa Rosa and Fairfield and such.

There is in fact a nationwide data outage. It is not affecting everyone, but I assure it is not BS. The appropriate teams have been engaged, and from the updates in getting, it appears they have been working on it all night.

To follow up, all other lines besides my EVO were fine. Data is now working again on my phone as well. Can you explain how an outage could target a specific device or set of devices but not all?

Can't talk about that until a official fix is given, but all affected devices have been identified and are being re-provisioned.

Wow, that's interesting. Can't wait to hear the details of this.

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
