    yeah' date=' and in the end I think people tend to forget that there is only so much one can do with a phone design wise...they all will be rectangle and have the same general shape with minor tweaks...less you get crazy and go kyocera echo on it. lol[/quote']

     

    Sarge, I keep waiting for that starfish phone you keep promising me! :rofl:

    haha well b/w digiblur' date=' pyroscott, Robert, and WiWavelength here on the site, personally I tend to phrase anything tower related in a question. lol

     

    99.999% of the time they know 10000% the correct answer. :)[/quote']

     

    And I ask you questions about devices and chips. So, it's all good. ;)

    Good news. I have done some more digging, and the Samsung Conquer 4G (SPH-D600), Samsung Trender (SPH-M380) and Huawei Express (M650) explicitly support and have been certified for CDMA1X band class 14 (PCS A-G blocks).

    Thanks for sifting through the data to find that out. Now, does anyone have these relatively obscure devices?

    that was my fault. I could of sworn this was a sticky when i looked this morning. As I had replied in the other and this one still was the top thread...likely my browser not catching up is all.

     

    just disregard it. been a long morning. lol

     

    No sweat. I do dislike how pinned threads appear in our forums. They could be much better identified. But it's an IP Board limitation.

    Can we unsticky this thread and use the one thats actually about the Sprint version instead?

     

    I'm not sure I follow. This thread isn't "pinned" or a "sticky." And which thread is the Sprint version?

    Tower locations

    in Markets

    Thanks for the quick response guys! I think I am dealing with both situations. There are areas that are at the bottom of hills where I drop (VZW manages to maintain signals in most of those BTW) and there are relatively flat areas where I think the signal is fading due to tower distance. Not sure to how to know that for sure so just guessing on the distance situation.

     

    If VZW keeps a signal, it is most likely on 850. So that gives me hope that Sprint 800 will help.

    Tower locations

    I'm curious if the NV towers will expand the coverage area surrounding them. Specifically, if there are "dead spots" between non-NV towers today, is there a chance those dead spots will be covered once the towers are upgraded to NV? If so, is this a function of the addition of frequencies (i.e. 800Mhz) or is it better equipment included with upgraded NV towers?

     

    There are multiple locations in my area where I am guaranteed to drop a call, which I assume is the result of a coverage dead spot. Curious if NV may resolve this alone or if the combination of NV and a new handset capable of the new frequencies will be required.

     

    Thanks...Dave

     

    It depends why they are "dead." If you don't get a signal there, just because it is just outside of range, there is a good chance that NV will improve the signal there to be usable. If not by 1900, then most likely by 800.

     

    However, if the issue why it is dead is because it's in a gully, ravine, canyon or because of RF interference in the area, then NV may not help the situation much. It depends on the reasons why it's a dead zone.

    I was under the impression that the G Block was dedicated to LTE only, not 1x/DO

     

    Deval, yes. However, Network Vision gear is being tested in G Block. 1xA and EVDO carriers get tested in G Block at every tower, including full drive testing. This is being done so as to not interfere with existing customers. Then, when testing is complete of NV gear at a tower or clusters of towers and it's ready to go live, they take the 1xA/EVDO carriers off G block frequencies and transition them to the appropriate A-F frequencies for commercial traffic. This is when the site is 3G live.

     

    It is only after the 3G goes live do the NV OEM's start work on the LTE carrier and put it on G Block and start its testing. All Network Vision testing is done in G Block. But only LTE will be there permanently.
