gjones_drfirst Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 It looks like LTE is a go. I just ran a speed test and got 16 down and 3 up in Chandler today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utiz4321 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 So I have a 3G accepted site near my work and every third phone call I either get static so bad te other person can't understand a word I am saying or I get connected to myself.....I have full signal. Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? Known issue until more and more sites go live with 3G/4G. We have had this issue in San Diego, but most of this issue has disappeared as more 4G sites went live. Pretty much all voice is going over data and has to be tuned. It usually gets tuned with 3G/4G is turned up on new back haul. Open a ticket with support which might help fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tejer Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Could somebody kindly inform me how I could check to see if the 3G and LTE I Am receiving are from the same tower? I'm in this now awkward phase here in Avondale where I get 1-2 bars of LTE in certain parts of the house and 3 bars if I'm lucky. The other half of the time it kicks to 3-4 bars of 3G. I'm curious if it's switching towers or just kicking back to 3G on the same tower because the lte reception is no good. I pull an average of -108 according to the engineering mode, so not so great. I'm just wondering if it's a different tower then my hopes of getting better lte reception one day can carry on Edited December 17, 2013 by Tejer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkopsie Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Tower down last few days? I have full access to data, yet NO access to voice or texting... SW corner of Via Linda & Frank Lloyd Wright (Scottsdale) .... it is so annoying, anyway to find out when it will be fixed?

rkopsie Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Btw, I mapped 4G at Shea & 101 .. also noticed it finally pop up north of it.. and around Raintree.. This whole area is deprived (haha) ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmaster7 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I saw there was a small dot of purple on sensorly today in that area. Looks like you are LTE very soon. I had 2 bars of LTE at Cracker Jacks on Scottsdale Rd tonight. Not sure which tower it was. I did a speedtest and got about 10mb down.

jshock Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Woke up to a very week signal at 91st and cactus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmaster7 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 The strong signal that I was getting on Friday at 40th St and Greenway appears to be off today. They must have been testing it last week. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeofyork Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 We'll be relocating to the Phoenix area next month and we are giving Maricopa, AZ a strong look. I noticed only two towers (one to the east, one to the west) of Maricopa and both were 3G only. How is the signal down that way? Will those towers get the LTE upgrade?

bmaster7 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I insure a few homes down that way, but am not sure of coverage. Check sensorly, but I think it is improving dramatically around the valley in general. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere near 99.9% of Sprints sites will get LTE, so the likelihood of those sites in/near Maricopa being upgraded to LTE is almost a guarantee. I cannot speak for coverage there though, but 800MHZ CDMA and LTE upgrades are in full swing now, and that is only going to further improve coverage and capacity.

KaptainRandom Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Looks like there is a new tower in East Mesa, Near Baseline & Higley/Recker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRod Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 And another new 4G site (according to Sensorly) at Lindsay and Adobe in Mesa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamkor Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Drove through Kingman yesterday, (I drive long haul between Kingman AZ and Springfield MO so I've been seeing each city on that path light up slowly), and they have LTE live near the main part of town. Speed test was about 10mb up 6mb down. (Of course I was moving through town not sitting still. ) Also, when I got home in Bullhead City, AZ, surprise surprise, im showing LTE active there now as well. 7mb down 3up. Unfortunately I live RIGHT on the Nevada/AZ border (Colorado River is about a block from me...) I require an Airave to even use my phone in my house so in home 4G is just a pipe dream for me, heh. I dont know if the signal is coming from Bullhead City towers or across the river in Laughlin. No Sensorly reports in my area for LTE so I guess I'll have to fire up mine and drive around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is referring to lte we are going to need a dramtic pickup in the number of acceptance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
