Network Vision/LTE - Upper Central Valley Market (Sacramento, Stockton, Redding, Eureka & Reno/Lake Tahoe)

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!

yes.

Awesome! Do you still expect a cluster launch in march?

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

How much time after a tower gets 3g nv will lte be active?

No one knows. Backhaul must be available and integration teams must be present.

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.

Quick 3g nv speeds

How do you connect to spark with nexus 5?

Do a PRL update and toss it into LTE only mode via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cellmapper.nexus5fieldtestmode. Every reboot of the radio requires a PRL update.

Those NV3G speeds are nice. I could live with that alone after getting a taste in Carmel.

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.

That's good to hear. Now to get someone with an android device that can map sensorly...
