Alternatively, you could realize that deployment is ongoing, will not be finished for a number of months, hence will be in flux for some time still.

Had great LTE at my house for a few weeks now, then last night all of a sudden it's back to 3G?? Any reason why they would stop broadcasting LTE?

Yes. They are working on it. In unlaunched areas you can expect the signal to come and go regularly.

Speak of the devil, LTE just turned back on but the signal fluctuates from full to one bar and vice versa. I'm gonna check out this site since it is down the road from me

 

 

 

 

What a tease, back to 3G

You'll need to check out your RSRP values rather than relying on the signal bars.

 

This same thing has happened to me. My serving site for when I'm at work had been active with LTE for about a month now, but for the past week I haven't been able to get LTE.

You sound like me.  A site about 5 miles away from my work went active.  I could catch it just fine being on the 7th floor.  Worked awesome.  Week later it was gone.  Wait another week and it was back.  Week later it was gone and is still gone.  Another site about 3 miles away went active recently and works decent in the mornings with up to 12 megabit speeds at times.  But every day around 11am - 2pm'ish the site goes in the tank with 1x speeds with 5000+ms ping times.

UN-official announced sites will loose 4G alot until it's announced or RIGHT before the market is announced.

Drove by the site a few minutes after my post, no one was working on it but my signal fluctuates between 3G and LTE. 3G signal is about -75 db and if I can getto the RSRP creen quick enough while its locked on LTE, the latter is about -106

That picture is great haha.

 

 

How do I check RSRP values on the 5? I knew on my galaxy nexus but not since I got the iPhone.

*3001#12345#* press send, and go from there while in an active LTE area. I can't remember which LTE field test menu has signal information.

Called sprint to ask about the tower near me...girl said it wasn't an LTE tower....and the nearest one was 4.1 miles away. I know it's an LTE site...cant miss the panels and RRU's. impossible that it isn't because I was getting full LTE at home and now I'm not. It'll fluctuate to -121 db and back to full signal 3G

if you aren't in an officially launched market they won't support or sometimes acknowledge that there is lte. If you go to sprints coverage maps do they have lte coverage on their map for you? If they don't, then they probably won't help you.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.

      Yeah both of those instances were on my AT&T s22 ultra. Seems ro be working as intended today in latest release.

      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.
