Maybe Sprint flipped A switch. I've been getting LTE all day long, but only in about a foot and a half square on my desk. If I move the phone over two feet - 3G, a foot outside the window - 3G, out in front/back of my - 3G. When I set my phone in that square - LTE. What gives?

Hi all. Did I read somewhere in this thread that if I make a PRL change or something I can trick my Note 2 into LTE only mode in Sacramento?  I think I would loose voice, but data would work?   Thanks!

 

No.

No. Not March. Not April. Not May. Most likely sometime mid to late summer. 

Are they at all likely to launch say Roseville or West Sacramento or Something before then?

Unknown at this time but I hope so as that'll speed things up.

Is that due to the contractor being fired? I know early "hopes" had been a cluster launch in the city of Sacramento and surrounding communities months ago, but I'm guessing the contractor troubles have blown away that earliest guess...?

Based on the progress or lack of on major urban sites. 

 

I'm still hoping they split it up somehow to multiple clusters. Hand offs between Lucent and Samsung equipment isn't bad per se like Motorola to anything else but it's not really "good" in the big scheme of things. It's livable but handoff issues could be a pain that they want to avoid. Either way I'd live with the chance of dropped calls or data sessions at this point and time. 

 

El Dorado Hills area was NV 3G accepted / integrated in the last couple of days so they might  (hopefully)

 be heading into Folsom soon.

I was working in Folsom off of iron point and serpa and I couldn't connect to 3g it was on 1x the whole day for the last week, and when I worked there about a month ago I had 3g.

LTE in EDH, green valley & Francisco. Been seeing a lot more 1x the past couple of weeks. Saw the post about NV 3G sites accepted in EDH, not sites near me. LTE (for now) this morning. This is encouraging.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
    • Same with factory unlocked
