VERY disappointed with NV 800 Voice


Recommended Posts

I found the 22097 PRL to do an analysis on.   As mentioned before, the analysis has my changes I made so you can read the priority levels easier of the 1x and EVDO scans of each 1x SID.  I've uploaded the 22097 analysis to the PRL Site - http://www.batonrougebroadband.info/

 

Thank you for doing the analysis. I wish 800 was easier on the DuraMax. It takes a miracle for it to switch to 800. It generally prefers roaming on USCC over 800 on Sprint. Not sure why it does this unless it is the way the radio cycles as it will sometimes go from Sprint 1900 to USCC then a few seconds later to Sprint 800. Maybe I just have a flaky phone. I bought a DuraXT for the other line on my account and it seems to go for 800 almost right away then search for 1900. I noticed that when activating the phones they went straight to 800 and a few minutes later went to 1900. Activation on 800 apparently doesn't work for whatever reason. As long as the phones were connected to 800 activation wouldn't go through but once on 1900 it was done in a couple seconds.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
