Dkoellerwx Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I don't know what band I was getting. How does one check that? (I'm a noob around these parts). And no, I haven't gotten LTE anywhere since Monday. And I have an HTC One M8 There's only a couple of spots in Greely to get LTE, have you done any restarts/PRL/Profile updates in areas that you used to get LTE? It's odd that no one is seeing Band 41 all the sudden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdw9988 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hello everyone, I know this is off topic but I am getting desperate. I just got my galaxy s5 and have searched everywhere on how to force LTE on it with no luck. Anyone know how to do this or where to find info? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkoellerwx Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 updated my data profile and it worked! Thank you! Can you explain to me how that works? Please? It just completely resets your connection. It seems some M8s, once they disconnect from LTE are having trouble finding it again and the only way to reconnect is to refresh the profile. If you continue to see the issue, I would have a Sprint care center check it out. Several other users have reported similar issues, especially those who ordered early online. They've simply had to swap out the device for a new one and the problem goes away. Seems to be a defect with a certain batch that shipped with early online orders.

DrOckW Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Greely does have Band 41. Is that the LTE band you where getting? With what device? Can you get it anywhere now? FWIW I have been war driving my Evo 4G LTE around Greeley and no 4G so yeah I think it's just 41. Wish we had more bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with my s5 and forced lte I get this Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Looks like B41 to me! When the network upgrade is completed, you shouldn't need your airave anymore. FWIW I have been war driving my Evo 4G LTE around Greeley and no 4G so yeah I think it's just 41. Wish we had more bands. Yes, it is just Band 41. There are 2 Clear sites there, so you would have had WiMax back in the day. Currently, there is only one Band 25 site live south of Greely. Eventually, there will be more. Hard to say when though.

kdw9988 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Ive had hope ever since I started following this thread, it's just nice seeing results in person. Calling and texting is still a little spotty in the house so I'll be ready for a WiFi calling update. Then it will be so long for the air rave. Thanks again for everyone's help. It'll be a sad/happy day when I no longer need to check this forum! Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm basically at the WTC/Civic Center/ Capital Building area. I airplane toggled, I will try PRL. EDIT: Nothing. I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back.

You are right next to the ONLY 3G accepted site downtown (how that happened I have no idea). So it's possible that you had an NV 3G connection (meaning CSFB was available) and managed to grab a stray LTE signal from one of the suburb sites. If it ever comes back, the GCI will tell us for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narf Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Here are a few pics of site #########*********** in Superior, right behind the Costco. As far as I can tell it's GMO site that has been upgraded but is not operational yet. Note what looks like base mounted RRUs and a GPS with a red dot. On the map it's marked as not started yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
