I have been experiencing an increased number of dropped calls over the past week or so. My market is mentioned as one of the legacy markets that may have the tower to tower handoff issue like Chicago so I am wondering if this is a good sign that maybe they are beginning the upgrade process? If so, I say bring on the dropped calls!

 

Great site BTW!

The Cleveland market shouldn't see Network Vision upgrades until late Q4 of 2012 through Q1 of 2013 to my knowledge. Robert may have more info on this. I haven't seen any dropped calls, but I don't usually make too many calls.

Optimism is what keeps people going. At least it does me.

Yep! Its either that or get really frustrated with being cut off in the midle of the conversation. The worst part is that it happened while talking to my cousin who lives in Dayton. You see, he has an Iphone on AT&T and always has signal problems because his coverage is terrible. SInce I always bust on him about it, he is now getting even with me!

 

I know what will make me forget about the dropped calls......pre-ordering the new EVO tomorrow

Definitely have seen a huge increase in dropped calls. I have gone from none since I started with sprint 11 years ago, until the past month dropping calls nearly every day! My daily travels bring me from North Ridgeville to Beachwood to Middleburg Hts, etc. I have been dropping calls all over the place.. It started when I got my Galaxy Nexus, so that it where I thought the problem lied.. returned it and preordered an Evo 4GLTE, but I continue to drop calls on the Sprint PixiPlus I've been carrying for the past week.

Nice someone else from North Ridgeville. 3G is hell here unless you live at a higher elevation it seems. I haven't noticed any dropped calls though. I have had issues with 3G hand off when crossing city boarders from North Ridgeville to Westlake and Elyria.

I work in Independence and live on the southeast side of town. My old phone (an Epic 4g) worked great in these areas especially in 3G but I am highly dissapointed with the Galaxy Nexus on 3G. At work - I am on the top floor of the building - I get great reception, all the bars, but anywhere else (home, driving around town) the 3G connection is crap. I have had the update Sprint released applied to the phone but it still sucks.

 

So I am hoping we get bumped up to 4G LTE soon and they are updating the towers - maybe that is why I can't connect to 3G like I used to.

I have been getting horrible 3g speeds (used to be pretty damn good), wish they would throttle after someone crosses something rediculous like the 50GB marker.... As for dropped calls I'm in akron and i get a few right at the corner Delia and Hawkins regularly... This is on an Evo 3d soon to be Evo 4G LTE.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
