Quick question...I'm here in the Sacramento area, just started Sprint service around Thanksgiving. Full bars everywhere (well, mostly)_ and same with internet. Past few weeks we've noticed when making calls, there is nothing after dialing for up to 30 seconds, then we hear the ring on the other end. Is the area NV upgrades doing something here?

I

I'm sorry but i have no idea how to do that.

 

Never used a photo share site before? Well ok, here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3767-adding-images-to-posts-imgur-links/

 

That link shows how to use Imgur, personally I use Dropbox, and have used photobucket. 

 

It's pretty simple, just go to imgur.com , Dropbox.com , or photobucket.com and they'll walk you through it too.

I have drop box and put the pics in the dropbox folder.How do i put them on here.Sorry for the inconvenience. 

 

If you have a public folder, put them in there, then you can right click and grab the public link and embed it here. That's what I do. 

 

It's no problem, I'm just always surprised when I run into someone who hasn't done that haha.

first one is Sprints...

 

p.s. you have access to my map which has exact parcel addresses so you shouldn't be confused on which tower is which considering the Sprint colocated one is on the land of the bubble point.

Hmm does it take some time to connect to spark or does it do it rite away?

 

Just put it to LTE only mode. If there is a connection available then it will connect to it. If not then it will not.

Would be it better to get a Nexus 5 now or wait for the iPhone 6?

With a Nexus 5 you can hop onto a MVNO while you wait for the network upgrades to go live and not get locked to anything while having top end specs and one of the best radios ever. The iphone 6 is an unknown and won't go on sale until at least september / october where everyone will be looking more towards the 2014 nexus 5.

    • 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
    • June security update is out (S22U TMO)
