Equivalent of an LG G3

Hi There,

 

I was on the phone with Exec Care today about coverage issues in our area. After talking a bit, it came down to: "The network situation is not going to change for at least the next year or two in that area so we can do one of a few things"

 

1. Swap out phone at no cost to me for an equivalent device (In case of a radio defect).

 

2. Get an airave at no charge to me (Won't help my situation in the area).

 

3. Turn in all my equipment, Sprint pays my last bill, and will help me migrate to a new carrier.

 

I'm going to go with option 1 to start. What is a good "Equivalent" phone that I can get. I want something that will do the CCA bands, etc. Ideas? I'm heading to Sprint now to check out some devices. Then I have to call him back with my decision.

Took the dive for the nexus 6. Gives me the ability to test out other networks too.

if your coverage sucks when you get the nexus 6 then its definately the network as the N6 is a very good rf performer

agreed.  Could just be one tower causing your issue as well.  Wonder if the issue is only experienced in one place, and not everywhere else.  The Nexus 6 is not bad though.  Be careful if you play with LTE settings in the debug menu.  You may have to reflash.  Not all of us have had the problem, but Im not the only one with an issue.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
