So other phones on network work fine? Same issue with wife's S4
-
Why does my Nexus 5 go to 3G and never reconnect to LTE? This happens all over Chicago and Suburbs...
-
When we were manually enable the bands on the Nexus 5 did anyone confirm Sprin Spark speeds? DId not work for me anywhere in Chicago. Will this update have other software updates that will allow the update to work?

What does 1xRTT 800 get you? I bought the app!
-
Nexus 5 here in Chicago. I activated the two bands and now I am getting in certain location 30 Mbps down and about 8 Mbps up. Is there an app I can downloaded on a non-rooted Nexus 5 with stock android to see what bands I am connected to?

Has anyone noticed better LTE connectivity with the MOTO X?
-
Haven't been on here in a while. What is the status of Chicago?
-
Drove from Arlington heights to Chicago via NW HWY and had a consistent 4G strong signal by checking through the Debug menu. I was around 85db. 20mbps down and 9 mbps up. Switched back to 3G when I arrived at Milwaukee and Cicero. Excellent!

I have noticed considerable speed improvements in the NW suburbs. I remember when I first achieved LTE access in Palatine and Barrington via the NW HWY corridor. Now, I consistently get a good LTE connection. In Schaumburg, the other night, I had 25 mbps down and 9 mbps up near Woodfield mall. Has the LTE connectivity and speed increased in these areas for anyone else?

Interesting. I am in Des Plaines with sporadic 4G. Looks like a soft launch and I expect them to have this completed by early next year. Northern burbs have been great with 4G.

Chicago market now shows 4G LTE for the entire market under coverage.sprint.com

Let me clarify my original post. I don't care about LTE in a building. I use Wi-Fi when inside my home and business. When I leave the building it simply connects to 3G and not LTE unless I do what I originally posted. Airplane mode,update PRL,or cycle LTE/CDMA radio. This is a very strong -75to-85 dB LTE area. I get 30 + down and 10+ up. I have a Galaxy Nexus LTE with Jelly Bean 4.1.1.

I am in an area that is getting 30 mpbs down and 10 up consistently. When I leave the building and go outside it does not connect to 3G unless I do the above specified. I understand the signal strength meter is for voice. I read that post recently.

4G LTE is very good now in the Lake County area north of Lake Cook Rd. for the past week. However, can someone explain the technology between switching from 3G to 4G LTE? When I enter a building from a well saturated area of LTE outside with no issues driving for about 20 minutes connected to super fast LTE, and then when I enter the building it goes to 3G. This is understandable when in the building. However, when I come out and take the same route home there is no connection to LTE at all. It only works if I cycle through LTE/CDMA or update the PRL list. Isn't this suppose to be the opposite of the WiMAX disaster? Can someone take me through the technology? FYI this is a well saturated area of 4G LTE with no issues outside for 1 week now. I am interested on how this new technology will work with Network Vision. Thank you.
