digiblur, you mentioned a spreadsheet you used to keep track of new LTE sites and serving cell ids as they came online? Should we make something like that for Utah? Maybe a google doc or something so we can all add to it?

What would be tracking?

 

Thanks for the info and help! I'm excited for LTE in Utah county!

My phone is no longer an LTE/NV virgin!!!!  I know its sad, but my phone has never connected to a upgraded tower whether it be just a 3g upgrade or LTE.  But driving to the airport this morning obviou

Close but not quite, 800 have a much LONGER range.    Here's the advantages to a Tri-Band device.   You have access to three bands of LTE: 1900 (PCS), 800 (SMR), and 25/2600 (TD-LTE).   PCS LTE

I've been thinking about doing it. Work is just super busy. I even made a list of most of the sites in Utah just need to do the address next and there is a lot!

Hello, been lurking for a week, but after the off and on roaming I did today I called Sprint. The guy looked in my area (Ogden) and said they were starting work on Vision. Normally I would take this with a grain of salt, but considering normally strong areas have gone roaming today, I think they are doing something at least. Downloaded the app to start checking.

It could be NV improvements and it could not be.  Just depends where in ogden.  I know there is some towers getting close to starting in ogden but your issue doesn't mean NV upgrades necessarily.  Definitely take what sprint reps have to say with a grain of salt.  I know a few weeks ago at my house I was constantly roaming and would keep dropping calls even outside of my house (which never happens) and I had all around poor service.  I called in and nothing was going on but the problem resolved itself within about a week and its back to normal.  Also there is a site I drive by several times a day and there has been no work at all started on it.  For about two weeks while I was at a park right by the site my phone consistently went from roaming to sprint to roaming to sprint to roaming to sprint...well you get the picture...it was actually entertaining to watch.  And my signal kept jumping all over the place to full bars with sprint to 1-2 bars then to roaming but I know for a fact no NV has even begun on the site.  It just freaked out for 1-2 weeks and now its normal again when I'm by that tower.  So do take what the reps have to say with a grain of salt.  Something funky could just be going on with the tower.  I know they are very close to starting with a few towers in ogden though so it could be NV but...well...don't get your hopes up.

Im not yet, but was shocked to see Logan get some love before us. Since I am relatively new here, where do I find the tower locations so I can keep an eye out?

The best way is to become a sponsor. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1195-information-about-s4gru-sponsorship-levels-and-how-to-become-a-sponsor/  This will provide you with all site locations as well as site ID numbers and other privileged information.  Once you become a sponsor I'd be glad to share with you some of the sites I've found around Ogden due to information Robert provided me that are either rooftop sites or stealth sites and you could then help us out by keeping an eye in some parts of ogden that I'm sure I don't get to very often.  It will be helpful to have another eye in the Ogden area.  I'm glad we have people around salt lake because I don't get down there much either.  Its sad but my poor iPhone 5 has never connected to an upgraded tower.  Although It will tomorrow when I travel to salt lake :) Looking forward to the LTE for half a mile on I-15 oh yeah!!

Took Trax to the airport and received only the 4g signal between 1700 West to approximately 1/2 mile from airport.

 

Tested the speeds... nothing earth shattering on my Galaxy Nexus. Approximately 2.6 - 3.2 mbps.

 

All the best,

No matter what you do, do not run sensory. You'll pollute the sensory map with strong signals in areas that are weak.

What? Uh, Sensorly gets it data only from people using the Sensorly app. So how can you pollute the Sensorly user data map by inputting user data?

Because he has a Galaxy Nexus. That phone is notorious for the radio falling on its face and puts dark purple all over the map when there is no LTE signal. You will be chasing your tails all day long looking for nothing.

No one with a Galaxy Nexus should use Sensorly. The GN pollutes data to Sensorly. It often locks up the signal strength and it will show dark purple all over the place. Even in areas with little to no signal. GN users should not map on Sensorly. Let the rest of us do it so the results will be accurate.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      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.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
