lil_jimmy_norton Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Last week Sprint announced they inked LTE roaming agreements. Looks as if they may have taken effect already. http://imgur.com/bnlsR45 http://imgur.com/OGcay7R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynyrd65 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 That Signalcheck app screenshot looks interesting. Do you have a shot of what it looks like normally (native Sprint LTE)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 That Signalcheck app screenshot looks interesting. Do you have a shot of what it looks like normally (native Sprint LTE)? If someone wants to prove LTE roaming. A LTE engineering screenshot is the only proof. I am agreeing with COZisBack on what really is happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redx Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 It has started I was at ralphs when signal check pro said I was roaming on Metro PCS lte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Here's a new quote for you guys.. LTE Engineering screens or it didn't happen. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbowens Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 So here's a question. Let's say in the area you are in, there's Sprint 3G service, no Sprint LTE service and MetroPCS LTE service. Which one would the phone pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill875 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 This is likely because the 1X connection is on Cricket, but the device is connected to Sprint LTE. This has happened a number of times around my home area in North Carolina when my device is connected to Carolina West Wireless for 1XRTT, but my device is also connected to Sprint LTE. It will say LTE (Carolina West Wireless) in SignalCheckPro. I agree with what COZisBack and digiblur are saying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themuffinman Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Same here, I have noticed a few times when flying into atlanta that when I turn my phone on it will roam for a minute or two before switching to sprint but during that time I am already connected to sprint's lte.

jefbal99 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I get all the time in Lansing LTE(Verizon) because my parking ramp has a Verizon site on the roof. It takes my until the end of the street to pick up Sprint 1X again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbowens Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I have noticed on Sprint's coverage maps, that if you compare their voice coverage and their LTE coverage in a given area, you can see that there is more LTE coverage (in areas where they don't have voice coverage).

lynyrd65 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I for one would like to see an engineering screen from the area you were in. It looks like your phone/ROM would support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbranstner530 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 idk i know for a fact that i am on native sprint LTE coverage and it also says my carrier is unknown 31000. does anyone know why it says this? because it was formerly saying sprint 31120 i think or something close. but i really dont care as long as its LTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug526 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I've had times where my iPhone said Extended LTE for brief periods of time. I would go to check the field test screen, and was on Sprint LTE, but I didn't check the 1X screens. I'm guessing I was doing voice roaming somehow, but was still getting an LTE signal.

I've encountered the same thing recently, but it seems like it's just a bug in iOS 7, because if I flick the phone into airplane mode then back out it comes up as saying Sprint LTE in the corner with the same amount of bars and the same info in the field test screen. I was so excited when I saw it but then when I did the airplane mode thing I got really sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deval Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 My phone does that as well, and it really is just a radio identifier bug with iOS 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
