I'd be cheering but 

 

Davis has been cluster launched for network vision 3g and 3g 800 mhz or they're actively testing it.

Where's the Davis folks' cheers?   ;)

 

I'd be cheering but unfortunately I've been getting the same speeds :'( Just heard from the building manager that they are going back up there tonight though to possibly take down the old equipment since they already have a crane in the area.

Very pleasant surprise on the way to the Kings game tonight.  4G LTE from JSO Dunnigan to the north end of Woodland.  Started mapping on sensorly as soon as i noticed it.  Absolutely HORRIBLE service in and around the arena, if this in indicative of the rest of the Sacramento area I really hope y'all get some relief soon.

 

.  Anyone else been up north of Sac and noticed it?

I live 2 miles from the arena. We are on Verizon right now but are planning a switch to Sprint when Sacramento goes live on LTE. It's worth noting there is a Sprint cell site at the arena property.

I toggled airplane mode but couldn't pick up LTE near the mall in Modesto around 4 pm today on my Galaxy Note 2.

I live like 5 mins from the mall and there is no LTE up and running yet that i'm aware of.

Thanks a lot! you always have the answers

 

Seems like they are doing more testing in Davis.  I have been watching SignalChecker and it has jumped from 1x800 to 1xRTT and back around 5 or 6 times and I have been roaming a lot too.

sucks! I get LTE pretty much everyday down by the downtown plaza...BUT the speeds are SLOOWWWWW. Not LTE in anything but name.

If there is only one site on in the area, then it will be overloaded with too many users. Especially in a dense area like Downtown. It will take more sites coming online to provide proper capacity.

makes sense...but why only turn on >1< site?!? I should just turn LTE off on my phone until I hear more about the launch. It switching to LTE actually kills my data...

They haven't turned on a single site since July in Sacramento as they began focusing on converting sites as fast as possible in order to mitigate ecsfb gaps.

How long does this usually take? Does this mean we will need Sacramento to be cluster launched for 3G and then wait MORE for the backhaul?

For several seconds this morning, 4G LTE flashed on my phone two separate times after I totally lost my 3G connection and the bars. This was off Kilgore Rd. near the Sprint building in Rancho Cordova, This also briefly happened about a month ago. Sprint has a tower in their parking lot. I did ask someone about it, they said they thought it was from a tower on White Rock Road....but no way to confirm this

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By cooltech6597 · Posted

      In China now and roaming on China Mobile with Google Fi/TMUS. 5G is enabled on roaming, however most areas in China have NSA disabled on the network. so SA is the only way to get 5G. This is only possible using a native SIM from the Chinese carriers. Also, LTE CA is disabled on basically every site, except for a few I've come across while on the bullet train.   I'm lucky enough to be in a small town where NSA is still enabled on China mobile, so I'm able to have a decent experience while roaming. Haven't speedtested much but it seems to top out at 300mbps over roaming on b3 + n41 100mhz. The networks here are dense AF and every site seems to have midband 5G deployed. Also, interesting to see that most sites have antennas branded by the carrier, or painted a certain color (which I haven't figured out what that means yet).

      My S21FE, which is my primary phone, has burned in quite a bit from SCP.  Not sure I could get a good picture of it, so I won't try.  Helpfully, since SCP allows full customization of app colors, I'm going to see if I can't undo it a bit by flipping the colors. https://imgur.com/a/QQr5Ncv We'll see how long my eyes tolerate the change... - Trip
