jwigley Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Definitely not your phone in Rancho. My phone has been going into roaming all day long as well and losing Sprint Signal south of highway 50 and Zinfandel. I think it's a good sign of work being done. Not sure which tower though. We lost 3G data today downtown Sac. Went to 1x for a bit and then came back. Not sure if there is any work going on down here though. It was around noon.

jwigley Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) They might as well have mispelled it as Sacre-Mental. As in you have to be a mental patient to wait around for Sprint to upgrade their network. haha kidding. https://network.sprint.com/search/Sacremento,CA/ Edited July 18, 2013 by jwigley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the price for service isn't bad, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shindo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Does anyone with a Note 2 still have PRL 2000? After this update it has been a bitch to call or text, and I quite literally cannot use my phone outside my house anymore. As pissed as I am with Sprint, I have a feeling that August will be the time Sacramento and Davis is getting LTE. When you compare AT&T to Sprint the biggest difference is that AT&T has LTE in central California and well... Sprint doesn't (yet ); but with that said Sprint keeps telling me that I'm not seeing nationwide improvement because they're turning LTE on everywhere at the same time. Whatever that means. I'm running Plain Jane mack's rom so I'm not sure if that's hurting the signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveholtam Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 My Note 2 has a 2000 PRL also. I've read that across the nation people are complaining about this PRL. I'm rooted, so I could switch, but I've seen a difference really when switching. (Except in Chilis in Rancho) I also read this from someone that knows about these things, "PRLs have no affect on LTE speeds. The only time a PRL will affect LTE speeds is if you write one that has no enabler record for your area and that will prevent your phone from connecting to LTE. So in layman's terms all there is an on/off switch in the PRL for LTE, nothing more." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't make a difference, but I would suggest getting 56xxx if you are rooted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to get back home to see if I get 4g! Maybe Rancho will be up and running by Monday night. Loving the 4g in San Diego at the moment.

steveholtam Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Well, it went away! Lol. I go my shoes on after swimming to do a sensorly run, and the signal was gone. Oh well. They are working on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD786 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Is it possible that Sprint will use equipment that will use the Clearwire and iDen LTE frequencies along with the 1900 MHz In areas that have not yet received LTE, such as Sacramento and Elk Grove?

lilotimz Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I got good lte sierra college and Douglas new tower activated?? Definitely looks like a new tower is online. Is it possible that Sprint will use equipment that will use the Clearwire and iDen LTE frequencies along with the 1900 MHz In areas that have not yet received LTE, such as Sacramento and Elk Grove? ? Network Vision 1.0 equipment are configured to utilize CDMA 800 1x, LTE 800, PCS EVDO 3g, & PCS 1x upon installation. Clearwire TD-LTE will require additional antennas & RRU to utilize the 2500/2600mhz spectrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
