jrollercoasters Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It's quiet too quiet. Did the world end lol. Still stuck in permit battles i guess lol. Yea it's annoying because lte has decided to come so close to me I can taste it but has done a complete circle around where I live Sent from my SPH-L720 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallsOfJonathan Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yes, I have been dealing with for a few months at work. I'll lose data altogether for hours at a time. Over the last week my phone has stopped reporting ehrpd and gone back to saying just 3G, today I didn't even have 3G, just 1x all day...

What is your signal strength? A very weak LTE signal can explain both issues. Though normally even a weak LTE signal will have some speed. There may be something else going on there. If it continues to happen elsewhere, you may check with others to see if it's your device or the network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 4 bars and ive gotten strong lte on my phone before I got 25 mbps it was amazing locally I have gotten 7 but at my house I have yet to have a strong lte signal but I do notice a high rise in 3g now im getting around 1mbps before I was getting around 200kbps highest being 500 Sent from my SPH-L720 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2 Edited October 22, 2013 by jrollercoasters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My phone will hang on to an LTE signal down to -118 or so and I've seen as low as -122. When the signal drops that low on my phone, it's not useable. The bars typically show what your 1x signal strength is. Interestingly I picked up LTE for about 10 seconds on the 101 yesterday after work, just near the Victoria onramp. At first I thought it was from a site that was closer, but it was the southern Camarillo one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibbles021 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Since I get better 3G signal at my house does that mean 4g is getting closer to being worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When data is active, the phone won't switch to LTE...which is why people map using LTE Discovery to cycle airplane mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to either look at your engineering screens, or SignalCheck. iPhones, LG devices, and the HTC ONE show your data signal with bars, everything else the bars represent your 1x signal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibbles021 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Sorry but iPhones with ios 7 with signal strength with dots now. No longer signal bars. Still have the 5 bars aka dots thanks to senior software design guru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallsOfJonathan Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 So I'm pretty excited to see that lte is popping up around Ventura and Oxnard now, but does anyone know when we can expect 800? I live at the corner of Johnson and telephone in the Woodbridge condos and reception just doesn't exist there. Is 800 coming later as opposed to at the same time as lte?
