3g offline


Recommended Posts

No this does not mean network vision. You can be in locations where EVDO cannot reach where 1X can.

isn't 1X and EVDO 3G same frequency?

Yes, they are. But that doesn't mean since you receive 1X you will always get EVDO. Its just like with LTE. LTE requires a more robust signal to work so that's why it seems like it doesn't travel as far.

What about when RSSI is high but EVDO switches to 1x for no reason. I've been noticing this more often in Tallahassee, FL and noticed it real bad in Panama City, FL. I'm guessing probably because of just network congestion. I don't get in these places where the legacy data connection is so bad to where your data connection become useless the network wouldn't go back towards equilibrium, because people will stop using a contested connection and that will in turn free it up some?

Yes they are the same frequency but each has a different airlink. 3G is more fragile than 1x.

No they are different frequencies. You can not have them on the same channel.

This is a big part of NV. EVDO and 1x and all CDMA links dynamically load balance between cells basically automatically... but not between each other. As in, if an EVDO cell has all the "breath" sucked out of it by high loading, you will automatically become biased toward adjacent cells which are less "out of breath". This is a dramatic oversimplification, but that's basically "cell breathing" as it applies to CDMA cells.

 

Your phone can easily hear the tower signal regardless of other users in the vicinity but the tower loses YOU in the noise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-far_problem -- this becomes a worse and worse problem for the tower as loading happens. This effectively contracts the cell size, but you will see a strong signal from the tower.

 

NV is a layer on top of the CDMA layer which attempts (among many other things) to kick you into 1x if it calculates you are better off on it than EVDO at that time. It's still in calibration of course. ;)

That us in a poor location at my house on the bottom floor. LTE fades in and out. Usually into 3G. They were tweaking the NV recently and testing some upgrades to the 1xA.

Used to look muuuuccch worse. I was pretty impressed for the dreaded circle, vs. the signal strength.

Same location, disabled LTE and toggled Airplane Mode until I had 3G for long enough to run a few tests. This was the best one.

 

 

Worst part of NV will be convincing users whose UI shows their status bars all the time, to resist toggling airplane mode! ;)

Okay so 3G is 1900Mhz

And 1X is the lower frequency?

What digi means is they cannot literally be the same frequencies. The same way channel 1 of 2.4GHz wifi is not strictly the same as channel 11, though we call them both 2.4 at times.

Ok thanks for the info Txmtx. Im assuming this extreme cell loading is whats causing the received signal strength to bounce between full signal to no bars, and this should be remedied by NV increasing cell capacity and cell range. But what I don't get is that when observing Ec/lo my epic 4g touch on boost with a JB modem dosent seem to hunt out a good Ec/lo, the best I remember seeing is around -9dB, and I see some people around here reporting -1.5dB?  It will often switch and the Ec/lo goes even lower than it was? Im guessing that's just how bad it is in Tallahassee with the legacy network.

Today at the mall 3g was down and only 1x worked is this network vision upgrading?

I tired restarting my phone and updating profile and still I get 1x

 

 

queen kaahumanu center

Maui, Hawaii

 

According to permits pulled in your market, you all more than likely have zero sites being upgraded yet: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3807-hawaii-network-vision-permits/

 

I could be wrong, but as a Sponsor, check it out.

 

Let me rephrase when I say market. I should specifically speak of Maui.

    • Just revisiting the RCS issue and discussing another point I find odd.  Yeah, my family and close friends and most coworkers still mostly use whats app in our chats due to the odd RCS issues.   Some have Apple phones, some Samsung.  But using Facebook Messenger or Whats App handily eliminates those issues.   But the other thing I find odd is how all the information out there states that to use the Smart View app to mirror your phone to your TV that your TV and your phone have to be on the same wifi network.  That is 100 percent untrue.  I've historically not had wifi at home and only use it in our common areas in our community or occasionally at work.  But primarily I just use my phone for everything and do not have wifi at home.  It's because I haven't needed it.  I've been using all my Samsung phones for the better part of a decade now as my entertainment center because it's simple, effective, portable and absolutely does not require a wifi connection for my TV in order to cast all the content from my phone.  I'm not sure why it is stated that it is required.  The two devices - as we all no doubt know - create a wifi direct connection between the two devices in order for smart view to work, however, no general wifi network is required at all.  Again, I've been enjoying the feature for close to a decade but I find it odd that they say that you need wifi at home to use it.  Samsung television sets, Roku TV sets, LG TV sets (I cast to all of them at work regularly, again, sans wifi) and TCL TVs are all compatible.  There are likely more but these are the ones that I regularly screen mirror to, again, without the two devices being on the same network (this is separate from the notion of creating a wifi direct connection between the 2 in order to enable the service). This is the sole reason I only buy Samsung phones.   I tried a Pixel device before the Pixel 8 (which was the first to allow display out via wired connection for streaming) but it simply did not offer the same feature.   I wonder why they say this.  It's interesting if nothing else.  
    • Yeah, I probably see it through a Washington/Oregon market lens. And maybe a little Nebraska too.  These are the only places I have monitored Tmo overlay of USC closely. Tmo has already added service on 80% of the same towers that were unique to USC just 5 years ago around here.  The 20% left are either too close to an existing Tmo site, or, probably already on Tmo's plans to collocation.  But there is one USC site on the beach where our family likes to go that I am dying for Tmo to add service.  There won't be a lot of new coverage added here. But I have not done really any review in other USC areas.  But I definitely think it's a good move. Robert
    • Found Ericsson C-band+DoD in Brooklyn. What tipped me off was when I mapped a new eNB in this area on Halloween but I didn't see any permits for a new site in the area and the sectors I mapped matched the existing site that was there. Drove by it today and sure enough it's an Ericsson C-band + DoD site, likely one of the first in the city.  This is eNB 110340, formerly eNB 115257. — — — — — Also a T-Mobile new build in Queens. The permit for this one was submitted last year as a replacement for another monopole that got demolished nearby. It must've only recently got installed because it was offline when I drove by it.
