How long will it be until places like the greater Los Angeles area have blanketed LTE?

I just got the HTC One after ditching my old gs2 wimax phone, and I pick up LTE in many areas of the city, but there are still enormous numbers of dead spots in the larger Los Angeles area. I know many of sprints towers are slated for upgrades in the future, but that does not seem to be enough to solve the issue. They don't just need tower upgrades, they need more towers to fill in the dead/low signal areas.

 

Is that being worked on as well? I think we all want the dream of near complete blanket coverage of lte in Los Angeles, we kind of have that with 3g now, so when will it happen for LTE?

LTE on 800MHz and small cells will provide the fill in coverage you're looking for. LTE 800 deployment starts this summer. Small cells by the end of the year.

I hope we will get to know where sprint puts the small cells, like we know about the cell sites are know

Indeed. Then, we have a reason for S4GRU 2.0.

I have to imagine that is still pretty far out.. as in 2014 on?

 

2014 starts in just over 7 months. Not that far away, really.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
