juant87 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Anyone else have any ideas? Going on a week. No calls or text unless I'm in 4G. Tried everything... ##DATA#, ##S#. I'll only get text and calls while at the intersection of Rodd Field and Saratoga. HELP!! Seems strange. The issue i have is if the LTE signal is low (2 bars) i can't send any texts and data won't work. Turning off LTE throws me back to 3G but everything works fine. Try that route. With speeds upwards of 16 mbps i can sacrifice not having LTE for a little longer while it gets deployed better around the city. Let us know if this helped Sent from my iPhone5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdimpact Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Got LTE in Corpus Christi, TX. I was at work near the refineries. Got full strength signal near I-37 & Crosstown interchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juant87 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 any progress for the towers in north laredo? Sent from my iPhone5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokeyTX Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I usually briefly pickup an LTE signal driving along FM 2444 at the very south end of Corpus. I have also seen a bucket truck parked from time to time at the tower located at Everhart & Saratoga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, I think that is one of the towers close to (about a mile) I am not sure how to tell what towers are closest. but I think that one is down the road (im weber and saratoga) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared1202 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 How would one go about starting the conversation of possibly adding a tower in the South Texas area with no Sprint service? Specifically looking at Concan, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staples) is LTE live so that's probably where you're getting your signal. I mapped it on Sensorly already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting on the replacement unit now. Hopefully the next one will hold up better. Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LM1213 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 when looking at sensorly the 4g singnal goes right along the roads. I understand the tower might be there, but is the transmission so bad that it barely passes the accross a street? what good is this kind of signal. most people don't live ON the highway. I would expect a bigger radius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, i was reading the sensorly posts..i do agree that they should look for a jailbroken solution though..it would exponentially increase the amount of people mapping, imo. But then it will also cause more backhaul on the servers Sent from my iPhone5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame the dev for not doing a jailbreak one as it would be way too much to support. Plus it would be bending over for Apple. No thanks. They don't want Sensorly so those that do get rid of or don't buy an iPhone. Simple. Apple's loss Android's gain. From the stats in the past few years apples market share is becoming less and less for issues such as this one.

I meant that i haven't seen any updates lately about McAllen on this thread. It was the 1st area announced in the South Texas Market.
