Yeah I've been connecting to more 1x800 the last couple of days. Changes the sound quality for sure. I think the note 2 still has its 1x800 support closed via prl though. Something's going on though for sure. Also been some data issues for myself. The other day my local tower was broadcasting evdo and 1x800 only, all three devices of mine connected to them. Maybe just more backhaul and LTE site acceptance but idk for sure. Guess now that's its finally above zero degrees they are back to work :). Cant wait to see band 26 show up in town.

I cannot believe Legere has resorted to paying off deer in North Dakota. Glad you are ok...

It looks like my wife has changed her mind and willing to go up there after church on Sunday. Looks like we are a go! Woohoo!   Using Tapatalk on BlackBerry Z30

Someone needs to alert the EPA to this "Sensorly pollution."  It cost me a day of my life.   AJ

Not sure what's going on in GF today, but i had to switch to cdma only mode to get any 3g at all. When I had it set to LTE/cdma, signal check said i was connected to ehrpd, but there was no data at all.

Found a bunch of 1x800 yesterday however though. And started seeing much higher 3g speeds off my local tower during peak congestion times, feels like backhaul is installed. Must be working again in our area, hopefully.

Good news, bumped into an Ericsson employee yesterday. They are back in town doing work again :) Also he hinted at plans for new towers, not just a wrap up of NV but actual expansion. Don't know how much more I should say.

Lmao just checking if anyones paying attention. Ill say this we talked about western dakota, 150 new towers, and he was a sr construction project manager.

So maybe this new rack being installed here on an AT&T site in Rapid City might be Sprint???

He complained about the trip up i29 from sioux to fargo, said "were going to fix that" Apparently work extends past Grand Forks, And a steady stream down 94. Towns mentioned included the oil patch areas, as well as minot even. Apparently hwy 2 wont see love though.

Oh and not that he implied thier installation but we talked about the new nsn panels and how promising they are.

 

Considering the Dakotas is all Samsung territory NSN and Ericsson have no authority there. I wonder what type of antenna NSN is using for B41 hmm...

Well I got his business card sitting here. Im also assuming he's less network side and more construction of towers.

 

Might wanna ask him if NSN is using their special 2 sector antennas for their B41 deployment.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
