ashirley751 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Funny you should mention it. Just drove it yesterday on my way home from Utah and did not get a single hit anywhere along 25 heading into Denver. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Back when that tower first went live I bolted up there that first weekend like the winning powerball ticket was waiting for me. I stayed around the area for a bit and never once got a hit so I wonder of it cycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artaxiad Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 New user, longtime lurker. Hey guys! Took a drive up I-25 from north Denver to Longmont, then over to Estes Park. Got ZERO LTE, even abeam the tower at Dacono. Cycled airplane mode multiple times, rebooted. Nada. Yes, I am set to CDMA/LTE network in the settings. Kinda surprised at that result. Anyone else tried in the area lately? I picked up a friend from DIA on Thursday night around 11 PM and also got zero LTE with my Gnex, even after cycling airplane mode multiple times. It really bummed me out as I've been patiently waiting to see what it's going to be like. Looks like I may have had bad timing, then?

dwilson6 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 All the sites along US 50 between I-25 in Pueblo and Cañon City have been upgraded with new Samsung NV equipment. Every single one. Yet none of these are accepted yet. Colorado may be much farther along than it seems. I discovered no LTE nor CDMA 800 though. Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta I just searched on the Douglas, Denver, and Jefferson County websites and found quite a few permits that are likely NV related. Some of them (from Denver county) I can't tell and I haven't taken the time to check if all of them correlate with Sprint towers (though most of the ones I checked do). If anyone wants to look for themselves, here's the info. Some companies to search for: Mountain Wireless Construction Inc Mastec Network Solutions LLC GENESIS ELECTRIC INC ADVANCED WIRELESS SOLUTIONS INC INMAN ELECTRICAL SERVICES INC TETRA TECH CONSTRUCTION INC Denver County: there are PDFs on the right hand side under 'permit records for current year', I search the file for 'network' and 'wireless' to find potential permits and then sift through them. Two companies that have come up a lot are Mountain Wireless Construction Inc and Mastec Network Solutions LLC . http://www.denvergov.org/developmentservices/DevelopmentServices/CommercialProjects/BuildingPermits/tabid/436405/Default.aspx Douglas County: search projects with a marketing name of 'Sprint'. These aren't actual permits, but are a process before building permits. http://apps.douglas.co.us/apps/planning/initHome.do If you want actual building permits, search by address or contractor here. The same two companies above have some permits here also. https://apps.douglas.co.us/apps/building/permitSearch.do Jefferson County (Sprint permits only) http://jeffco.us/amandaItoI/index.cfm?fuseaction=PermitSearchByContractor&StartRow=0&PeopleID=226658&Contractor=sprint&Sorter=validstatus.statusdesc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realch1nky Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Coming home from Portland, I got no LTE in Pena Blvd. Kinda disappointing if you ask me when you've enjoyed 4G for a whole week. haha Evo 4G LTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latingonzo86 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Still no luck in Pueblo. But if something does up I'm sure sensorly will map it. It seems like every time I look at my phone sensorly is mapping.

Dream4GTriTown Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 New here so excuse my lack of group protocol knowledge. I'm located in Fireston about 2 miles east of I-25/Longmont Exit. I chipped in a donation to paypal. So, where do I get the maps with better detail. I am interested if there's ever any hope of seeing 4G where I live. I know Sprint done work on a tower just north of me by the freeway. Sorry for the stupid questions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philibuster Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I got LTE on I-25 north of I-70 this morning around 8AM. Last night on my way home from work there were workers in a crane bucket (not a cherry picker, oddly) working on the tower at Paulino Gardens (64th Ave at I-25). I didn't get a chance to do any speed tests or sensorly mapping. I know it died before I got to the US-36 exit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Unfortunately, there is no Sprint tower located at Paulino Gardens, so if the one you saw them working on was on the grounds of Paulino, then it must have been someone else's tower.

Makes sense that it wasn't that tower. I would've expected better signal propagation from a tower that high and so close to where I lost LTE.

xiutehcuhtli Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 More hits downtown. Mapped in Sensorly and speed tests uploading to the Box folder earlier in the thread as long as signal strength. Speeds were quite good this time, topped out around 7000 kbps down and 3000 up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnesShawn Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Feels like things have started to slow down in the Denver area. This site went three days with no updates. Is the completion time still the end of 2013? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Feels like things have started to slow down in the Denver area. This site went three days with no updates. Is the completion time still the end of 2013? Completion or launch? I don't think completion was ever expected to be end of 2013. Completion will likely be early to mid 2014. However, launch will probably late 2013. There will be appreciable coverage, almost complete coverage, once 50-70% of sites are upgraded.

coloradorockymountain32 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 what is the chances of getting 800 mgz in the springs soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 what is the chances of getting 800 mgz in the springs soon? Which kind? 800 1x or 800 LTE? The equipment is installed on any active sites. Should be activated this fall - or perhaps sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloradorockymountain32 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 800 1x there is 2 active lte sites near my apt but no 1x 800 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narf Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Here's an odd one. I'm running the test PRL 34010 (scans 800 test sites). Today I'm in Boulder County in my usual total dead zone where it constantly scans between 3 towers. SignalCheck Pro gives me an 1x800 alert. I look at the app and it claims I am connected to an 1x800 tower in Keenesburg. After about 5 seconds it goes back to a local tower. I did the math, that's 34 miles away. WTF? If the new 1x800 towers get that kind of coverage I can hardly wait until they fire up something a bit closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 800 is much more prone to skip/ducting than 1900 or 2600. Could be a case of a localized perfect storm for propagation perfection. Or, Sprint could just be screwing with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiutehcuhtli Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 So I have been reliably connected to 4G downtown today since 10:00. Speeds are averaging between 2500-6500 down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
