Activity is well under way in the Gulf Coast market from vendor Ericsson.  GMO sites are nearly 100% complete, and full build sites are beginning now.  I am creating this thread as a placeholder for our members to discuss Sprint Network Vision deployment in the Gulf Coast market.

First LTE site accepted yesterday in the Gulf Coast market.  Just west of Moss Point/Pascagoula, Mississippi!  Will be uploaded to Sponsor maps in a few hours.

Heard any new updates for July?

 

Things are continuing to move, a couple of new 4G sites have popped up in the Gulf Coast market and you can see folks have found them and mapped them on Sensorly.com

thanks, I was trying to look for something like that last night but to no avail, lol

 

Looks like some spots in around Moss Point, MS, another near Foley, and some around Mobile atm.  I looked a little to the east and saw a spot for Tallahassee, FL (not Gulf Coast, heh)

 

They started on WiMax in Pensacola, but we were one of those last markets that they never finished, =^(

Clearwire never actually started WiMax deployment in Pensacola. They just came in and set up Protection Sites.

About 20 minutes ago 4G is on in Pensacola. Well where I live. Can't speak for the rest of the city.

 

Make sure to map your coverage with the Sensorly app! There are currently two sites active with LTE in the area, but more should come online and coverage will grow over the next couple months.

My father just got a SG4 phone at the Sprint store near Pensacola, FL and said they had 4G in the store area, but nothing on sensorly, yet.

Just thought I'd mention it and hoping to see more LTE in Pensacola spread!  =^)

Yea, I started mapping it today, at least I think I was doing it correctly...

 

Connect to 4G by cycling airplane mode if needed.  Then fire up Sensorly and hit map trip, then start.  Let it eat. 

 

You'll see on the details screen the points uploading periodically.  I just make sure they upload all after stopping the trip and closing.

I spent a day after New Year's in Orange Beach, AL.  Good 4G LTE coverage outside, but almost nonexistent 3G/4G penetration inside a normal Hilton Garden Inn room.  To make phone calls, I had to stay in the lobby by a window.

 

Unfortunately, the hotel WiFi was not robust enough for internet calling, so no alternative!  :(

      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.
