Thanks to the selflessness of one of our members I now have a new shiny HTC ONE to play with! I am speechless! Its only a loaner but this is amazing!

Last night I had the Mifi at Urban Chestnut for an event and was pulling crazy good Band 41 LTE. I was feeling cocky, so I challenged friends with a Verizon phone & AT&T phone to a speedtest.

EHRPD

I don't understand why I am always on EVDO rev a and everyone else is on eHRPD. I have huge problems getting a 4G connection and sometimes have to shut the phone completely down and back on.

For some reason, deep within a hidden menu in my phone eHRPD was disabled. I am now, finally on eHRPD. My wife's Gnex had the same problem...just fixed both. Not sure why it would be like that stock. I thought it may have been something with the stock rom that I am on or something that happened when I was rooting but my wife's is bone stock.

That's definitely weird.  Glad you found and fixed it though.

hopefully enabling ehrpd will also fix your 4g connection issues too

Now I am dealing with another problem. I went into a hidden menu and it now tells me i need to activate. My phone works and data works....not really sure what the deal is there either.

I just get the feeling sprint is going to light up 50 towers today... All of them being right outside all of our houses. Anybody else get that feeling?

I know of one that got accepted.....

Visited the site at Lucas and Hunt & New Halls Ferry yesterday.  It had new panels & RRUs, new cabinets, and a black SUV with dark windows parked inside the fence.  Orange wires from the window of the SUV to the cabinet.  I asked the guy inside if he was testing the new Sprint equipment and he said no, he was programming it.  Asked if he knew when they would fire it up, he said probably within a week or two.  We'll see.

Just yesterday afternoon, I drove down New Halls Ferry from 270 to Chambers with LTE Discovery running in cycle mode.  I was curious to see if that site was on.  My phone cycled out of airplane mode within sight of the tower.  No 4G.  Maybe I'll make another trip.

 

Are you seeing that it has been accepted?  4G?

Did you have to go into the hidden menu?

 

 

Yea I did. I don't know why that would be off on an LTE device.....

 

It's a plot by Digiblur to keep you from polluting the Sensorly maps....

I dont know about lilg740 but i DO NOT use Sensorly anymore so we can have an accurate map.

I made a promise to myself and to you all to only use sensorly to map within 100 feet of the site.

Seems as if work at Des Peres - Flushing Meadows is complete. Yesterday and cables for pulling up antennas were gone and today no one was there. Antennas are installed on the tower. 

 

Now lets get Sprint to fire up the LTE on it!

Yup when I drove past today I saw no trucks out front.  The new equipment appears to be up there.  I can see a shiny bar of some sort....I just noticed it from 44 while driving by it caught my eye as extra new/shiny looking.

That makes 10 in progress sites with Panels up in the metro. Time for a big week.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
