Single Tower eHRPD failure


LoneSnark

Recommended Posts

I'm vacationing in the mountains and the Sprint tower servicing my area seems to be miss-configured. My phone loves to drop from LTE, presumably due to poor signal, although the LTE seems perfectly functional when it is in use. However, it drops to eHRPD, which gives the permanent error "Unable to establish a wireless data connection LTE: EMM-65535" until it reconnects to LTE.

 

However, a workaround is to lock the phone into CDMA only mode, which switches from eHRPD to regular EVDO, the error goes away, and the data connection functions as it should (slower than LTE, but the phone won't stay on LTE anyway, gosh darn it). 

 

Soooo, should I notify Sprint? Could it just be my phone (HTC One Max)? eHRPD functions just fine everywhere else I've gone for the past year or so. Maybe they are in the process of upgrading this particular tower?

A quick search shows it to be a common issue with the HTC One series when they lose connection to the network. I would definitely report it to Sprint.

MVNO. Customers are unlikely to get help from Sprint. You are expected to use whatever the MVNO company calls Customer Service or tech support.

I have had mixed results from the Freedom Pop version of MNOV.

My problem eventually followed me home and everywhere else, causing my data connection to cease functioning whenever my handset dropped from LTE to the eHRPD protocol. Well, it was like that for a week or so, but now has been fixed in a curious way. My phone now no longer even attempts to connect over the eHRPD protocol, using the EV-DO protocol instead whenever on 3G bands. I don't know if this fix came via a PRL or profile update, or if it is a change at the cell site. I'm now wondering if this is going to be a permanent change for all HTC One Max handsets, just me, or merely temporary while problems with eHRPD get worked out.

    • Has anyone checked Verizon n77 in areas with more than 100MHZ active? This spectrum has been fully available since August of last year.  Of course they are not typically using SA.
    • I updated my other s21 ultra factory unlocked to the latest firmware... It behaves like the S24 Ultra n38 or n41 depending on 80 or 100MHz or their nr- arfcn.
    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
