There is currently 3 towers in the Sulphur, Maplewood area that have had upgrades accepted. One is west of 108 on Maplewood Dr. ,one is off of Swisco rd and Carbide Rd and the 3rd is on Houston River Rd not far from Beglis. If you are by one it is possible they are causing problems

I'm not even a mile from the Maplewood tower. Thanks.

My shop is off of Maplewood & Hazel. I've been getting some great 3G speeds as of late. ;)

Sprint lte is active in port ArthurSent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Nice! Quicker than I thought! I hope you are mapping it out on Sensorly for others. Please post LTE engineering screen shots as well as I may do a spreadsheet for this market to keep track of serving cells.

I just had gotten out the gate at work and saw the 4g icon lit up... I'm gonna have to turn sensorly on and ride back by the plant so I can map it out. As the tower I'm on now isn't lte active yet.

I highly recommend the LTE discovery app from the play store. It will cycle the airplane mode to help find it. The SignalCheck app is also good for showing your LTE signal strength as the bars only shows your 1x signal strength.

 

Make sure you hit map trip and start on sensorly then lay down some purple.

I know it doesn't mean much but check it out!

I'm sure the Lake Charles folks will be jealous!  ;)  But this definitely means their turn is right around the corner! 

 

Seeing your screenshots I hope the ROM you have they didn't change the carrier files to their name (some idiot developers do this), otherwise Sensorly won't lay down anything on the map. 

 

So where is this located in Port Arthur?

Its the L shape on the port Arthur map I laid all that down the tower that I suspect is throwing Lte signals is on hwy 73 between 9th ave and memorial blvd. I also hit Lte on hwy 365 but it might not be ready as it kept kicking me off

Nice job!  I see it on the map now. 

 

Go into your LTE Engineering screen.  Dial ##DEBUG#, the code is 777468 (SPRINT).  Pick LTE engineering.  Even though you are not connected it should have a three digit serving cell.  These will be very important to determine if you have a second site or not.

Those aren't good signals so you must be far. The best I have seen personally is a -55 or so. Generally if you have a -70 to -80 the tower is in view. -118 or so and it is about to go bye bye.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
