My lte speed for about 3weeks seems to be steady :(

It's more than likely you're on a single tower that is trying to serve just too many people and is extremely overloaded. A tower with fiber backhaul and the network vision LTE equipment has greatly increased capacity compared to the legacy stuff, but if there's literally a ton of people trying to use it and that's the only LTE tower in the area that people can latch on to, then this kind of thing happens.

 

That's my guess anyway, it's also possible that they are still messing with the tower and your speeds are funky, but if it's been this way for that long then it's probably just overloaded.

 

And as someone said before your screenshot doesn't look like you have a very strong signal. If I'm not mistaken, the Android 4.3 update for the Sprint gs3 makes the signal bars not lie, they pertain to LTE signal when connected to LTE, eHRPD/EV-DO signal when connected to 3G, and otherwise just 1xRTT. Signalcheck is an awesome app to have anyways even if the bars aren't lying to you, pretty neat information to look at.

I have just now caught up on the Rochester thread. I hadn't been able to read this thread since August. Some notes:   1. I am not behind on Rochester NV Site update maps and never have been. I don't

Yes, these people.   Being the face of sub-par Sprint service 50+ hours a week has really taken it's toll over the last year or so. Constantly telling people to be patient and promising them (becaus

Has anybody seen LTE on the East side (Webster/Penfield/Fairport) yet? 

I get a very weak LTE signal from one of the towers near downtown a couple times a day.  The signal is so weak that it is not usable...eventually it latches on a 3g signal that is closer and then I can use data again.

Something is up in Webster. My usually steady data and signal have been all over the map today. I'm roaming a bunch and the data just cuts out a ton.

Same here.

Wow. I have no data connection today in Webster. -73dBm for signal strength, but no data or a very spordatic signal for maybe a second or 2.

 

My G2 is back online. My co-workers Torque has no data 10 feet from me.

LTE in Webster at Ridge and Hard Road.

 

EDIT- I can only connect to LTE on the GS4 and not on my G2... weird. 

 

 

This may be due to eCSFB issues discussed in this article. I was under the impression that they were aware of the problem and making sure it didn't happen in newly developing markets however, so you'll have to keep us up to date on how you fare.

In a Samsung market, they can only do CSFB one site at a time, unfortunately.

I've been able to connect to, and hold, LTE in Greece and Henrietta. After some fudging around yesterday I was able to connect to the LTE in Webster but not hold it.

 

Is it possible that this one site is affected by the mentioned issue and not the others?

 

Can anyone determine which tower is actually broadcasting the LTE signal in Webster?

 

A customer yesterday mentioned he's been getting spotty LTE in Williamson as well.

They are aware that these issues arise for the tri band devices in places where eCSFB hasn't been implemented, so I can't imagine they will leave it be for long. Either way, it isn't something that should remain an issue once progress in the market gets further along.

I'm in the Target plaza on Ridge and Holt and I'm getting LTE as well. It's spotty in the building I'm in, but I do get it at my desk. -110dBm

I had LTE at a customers house at 33 Selbourne Chase in Fairport, NY near the corner of Pittsford Palmyra Road and Kreag Road. I could not tell what tower it was connected to. Signal Pro was showing the turk hill tower. I doubt it was that tower. -110 db 2mb down and 1.20 up. On the second floor it stayed connected but on the first floor it would connect and disconnect. When it went back to 3g it was showing that I was connected to a tower on Farmington Road in VIctor. Tracked in sensorly.

SignalCheck Pro only shows you which 1x (voice) tower you were connected to.  LTE sites do not broadcast their location, so no app can tell you that.  You can only determine LTE connections by tracking Serving Cells and crowd sourcing with your market brethren.  This is done in many market threads around S4GRU.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      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.
