Sprint really needs to revamp their 4G network page.  All the other carriers have more impressive splash screen pages to promote their 4G LTE networks and not to mention larger coverage maps so you don't have to zoom in and out as often.  Sprint's coverage maps are just way too dang small and I hate having to scroll every 2 seconds to see different areas around my market.  

 

I liked the old 4G Wimax page because it made things more interesting.

This x1000. Everytime I try and check the coverage map it really isn't very up to date or user friendly. Definitely needs to be bigger and smoother interaction.

The worse part of the Sprint maps is when you want to pan or zoom, it needs to buffer for like 5 seconds each time.  Like seriously what the heck Sprint!!!!  The other carriers you can zoom and pan without lag.  I don't get why that is the case with Sprint maps.  They just need to hire a team to revamp the maps to make them not look like the 1980's.

I have a feeling this may be something in the works for when they start doing some major advertisement for the all new sprint network. I sure hope so at least. In fact, since we're on this topic...sprints entire website could use some revamp in my opinion.

The whole website was revamped around 2 years ago

No, the worst part of the Sprint maps is how sadly inaccurate they are!

That's ancient history in Internet years :)

      FCC Auctions

      By dkyeager · Posted

      https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/t-mobile-gets-little-closer-accessing-its-25-ghz-spectrum-auction-108 Senator Kennedy's bill to grant the FCC temporary auction authority to finish processing the Auction 108 licenses it has sold to their proper licensees. This would greatly benefit T-Mobile.  This delayed process took what would have been a strategic advantage for T-Mobile (1 one year plus head start)  and turned into catch-up, since AT&T and Verizon haven been busy installing their c-band n77 in rural areas.

      I configured -44/-3 scenarios on an Edge 2022 to be an invalid connection, so yes, it would show no service.. I didn't realize it was a frequent issue though. How certain are you about the other values? Perhaps they are just unchanged from the previous array of signal information that was reported? If that is the case, I can try to have the app discard -44/-3 datapoints and leave the screen unchanged. I worry about the slippery slope of having it display as -140, because that leads users to believe there is a -140 signal present, when in reality we don't know what the actual reading is.   Haha me and you both wish this!!!

      Following up, I've gone into the office in person today and took my Edge with me. It looks like it now shows "No service" instead of the -44/-3 value.  I saw a lot of "no service" because it apparently does it a lot.  I'll check again on the train ride home later. Assuming I'm correct, is it possible to have some kind of middle ground on this?  I think it was showing other legitimate values, like the TA, even when it was showing -44/-3.  I'd prefer it show the data it has but at -140 dBm in those cases.  I recognize this could be a pain to implement, and if it is, then no worries, mostly curious. EDIT:  But now I'm sitting here thinking "what if the PCI is bad and I don't know it?"  But that can just as easily be the case on other phones that aren't caught.  I do regularly see bad PCI entries on my other devices, so maybe this isn't the best option.  Bleh, I wish this stuff just worked properly! - Trip
