LTE turned on somewhere this morning over here by Arrowhead Mall. I'm sitting at my desk in my hotel room working on the update when my LTE notification chime rang at 7:10 AM. SignalCheck Pro FTW!

Free Sprint WiFi at Sky Harbor. Band 41 working as well at the Southwest terminal. Overall a great experience.     Sent from my iPhone 6s Plus using Tapatalk

I work in City Planning for a Phoenix metro municipality. Within the last month, Sprint contractors have brought in preliminary plans for a couple sites in the West Valley. It's a very slow trickle

There are 13 other towers between here and there within the same field of vision (I-17 to Central).  Must be another tower getting lit up.  

 

I'm well aware. I'm also telling you that it's entirely possible to pick it up from an elevated location.

 

The only way to know for sure is to get a screenshot of the LTE engineering screens from both locations and compare the serving cells.

reset your radios 

 I reset radios in and out of airplane mode  rebooted even reflashed radios no go     but thanks.  I have been having ongoing reception issues with my gnex maybe this will be the straw that breaks the back and sprint will replace it for me

Usually the Gnex can pick up LTE decently. It just has issue big time with mapping. So don't map with Sensorly. It is usually the HTC EVO LTE and HTC One folks with issues picking up LTE.

Such a beautiful site.  I drove by the 42nd Ave & Bell location for a closer look.  Good news, it's HERE!   :tu:

Bad news, the signal cut off 1 mile from my house.  :td:

So jealous of the people who live in that apartment complex...

Mine didnt map either but I made it to grand and camelback before lte shit out

 

If you find that Sensorly isn't mapping and you are running a custom ROM then the developer of your ROM changed the carrier settings to something other than Sprint, so Sensorly just throws all of your points away.

Being a ROM developer/maintainer myself I'm just going to say.... that developer is an idiot!

Was at the 43rd ave and bell rd one, awesome speeds, but the signal penetration sucks. Went to the gym on the north west corner of 43rd and lost complete signal of 4G.I also went to frys and lost the signal too. Hope they roll out the 800Mhz 4G soon.

based on previous roll outs in large cities, How long should we reasonably expect the network to be up and running city wide, from this point

 

It's going to be several months. You'll only see a few new sites a week, which means you'll get islands of LTE until the network is further along. The experience will improve week by week, but it will be a process.

Engineering tells us the plan is 27% with in the next three months, looking at when sites are slated to come up in glance, I could see this being a possibility. There should be a multitude of towers coming on in the next 3 weeks

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
