I have changed the link to a published HTML page instead of a standard Google Docs spreadsheet link. The spreadsheet link didn't add any features, and caused issues when people were trying to view the page as I worked on it

So im unable to find the specific answer to my question...

 

 

Question is, how much do you need to donate to become a sponsor? There is a few maps id like to check out that is only available to people who have donated, I dont have much to give atm though.

Any donation amount will make you a sponsor. $100+ (aggregated across all donations you make) will make you a premier sponsor.

wut?

 

It's a local joke about California falling into the ocean, making AZ oceanfront property. Or so I'm assuming being from the area and knowing this joke.

Hooooly crap. That's 3.

We went from no LTE to several towers spread across town. It almost seems like they picked them based on overall distance from each other. 

Definitely not fringe from 1st/Glenn. Sweet deal, the crew left one tower and moved on to another!!!

Just went on a trip around the area... Followed the signal to the tower on 1st/Glenn. Amazing signal there. No one at the site, all locked up, but very strong signal. Speeds weren't great though yet. Ignore the signal levels in the status bar in the speed test screenshots, I waited until I was home for them.

SignalCheck raw data near the base of the site:

4G speedtest:

3G speedtest after I lost signal at exactly 1:35pm:

And a bonus, the signal I picked up at 1st/River from the 1st/Glenn tower (signal level -115dBm):

I got a total of about 700 points of 4G data for Sensorly (900 for 3G). I have it on WiFi and plugged in now to upload to the servers.

I just picked up a fringe signal (-110 to -115) near 1st and River. It dropped as I hit Oracle headed west on River. As I got home Sensorly crashed though, so I don't think it logged the data/map.   Horrible ping shown. The test started really quick, it's just the ping test after that took forever to complete, I don't thin kit was accurate at all.

AT&T. Should be 3 8' LTE antennas per sector according to the Preliminary Development Plan, but knowing how lazy AT&T got with their Tucson deployment it's probably 2 8' LTE antennas and a 4' UMTS antenna per sector. You can see examples of these not-so-fully converted sites all over town.

It did look like a total of 3 panels per sector when I glanced at it. two larger on the outside, and a small one in the middle. I can't see how they would have fit 4 up there... it already seemed crowded with those 3 on each sector.

How can I explain my awful outgoing call quality then? Its strange since it only happens when going from LTE to making a phone call. Always seems to default to 1x800 when I am going from 3G (eHRPD) to a phone call.

Probably connecting to a recently upgraded 800Mhz 1x site that isn't operating correctly. Since it's an 800Mhz signal though, you could potentially be very far from this site compared to the LTE or 3G site, so it's much harder to pinpoint where it is.

Your best bet is to call into Care and have a rep mark your location in the Network Pinpoint tool as having audio quality issues there. All of the info from that tool is forwarded to the network teams every 15 minutes.

3FF and 4FF refer to the card size. 3rd Form Factor and 4th Form Factor.

1FF - standard SIM

2FF - miniSIM

3FF - microSIM

4FF - nanoSIM

On Sprint pre orders it says they will try there best to get to you before others get a peek. Obviously there best was not good enough this time.

It probably didn't help that 22,500 of them were stolen...

You need to make a small fix on the "Samsung" Nexus 5.

 

Thanks for maintaining this list.  It is both interesting and helpful.

 

AJ

Thank you.

yes thank you for the list, but the nexus 5 is made by LG not samsung

Thanks.

At this point the list is being primarily maintained based on what we find, etc. The official listing this was originally generated from isn't updated with the new devices yet so I was quickly adding the ones we knew were coming out. I was bound to make a mistake, just thought it would be further down the line. haha

I also realized today that while I'm editing the list and sorting, etc. that ALL of those changes are live in front of any viewers, and that no one can override my sorting. Oopsie. My bad guys. 

Yeah because I go to amphi high and like I said it started somewhere between 1:40-2:20 and ended roughly at 3:20

Yeah I went to look around 5:45... I was hoping it would still be there, or back up anyway... The horrible 3G speeds though severely disappointed me. I didn't even wait for the test to finish there before I went back to my home screen, I was surprised it finished the test in the background apparently.

That being said ,it looked like they had a game going at the school at the time. All of the track/football field lights were on, and there were quite a few cars in the lot. I used to go to AHS so I'm pretty familiar with the area. I did notice however that there's a site now located on the top of the floodlight pole in the northwest corner of the field, that didn't exist when I attended the school. Unsure who's on it, didn't get a picture of it since I only had my phone and it wasn't getting a good enough image.

How do you map it on Sensorly? I'll see if I can pick it up again after I get out of work.

Open the Sensorly app (after downloading of course). Start mapping a trip, should have a large MAP button on the main screen. In the settings you can setup automatic mapping and other options. I have mine set to upload maps when it is on WiFi and charging so it doesn't drain the battery attempting to upload on 3G currently.

You can set limits for use as well. So mine is set to use no more than 20% of my battery per day, and not to start mapping a trip if under 30% battery level.

So I went to visit the site located at 1st and Glenn earlier as suggested by this post... I was just northwest of the site at the elementary school parking lot. No 4G available. Restarted phone, PRL update, SignalCheck reset connections... no dice with anything.

Tested 3G anyway since I was there... and got this:

Then I decided to go take a look at Amphi High School since it had the blip on Sensorly. No dice either... tested 3G there though... sad.

Both screenshots taken just now at home after returning and dinner, hence the results page in SpeedTest and WiFi in the status bar.

With the Sprint employee plan, there's no contract, but you also do not get normal upgrades. You do get access to a special store called Sprint Rewards Me, where you can earn bonus money. After being on it for 6 months, you can buy handsets at national 2-year pricing, once a year, off contract.

What the sh*t is that? As a corporate employee we have 20 month upgrade cycles just like consumers. And NO option for One Up. Handset pricing also is usually identical to standard consumer pricing, without the holiday and incidental offers. They are off contract however, and our plan is free, unlimited minutes, text, and data, discounted Hotspot plans. TEP is normal price, but all of our add-ons are 25% off, including TEP.

Oh, I definitely want it...I just missed out on the pre-order...now I can't find one anywhere. By the time I happened to think to myself "I need to go ahead and pre-order"...it was end-October and too late to do anything. I don't know when they stopped taking pre-orders, but I checked all the sites, Gamestop, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Amazon...none had them avail to pre-order as of October 28 or so.

 

Now I guess my only shot is to wade the night and try to make it for a 12:01am release with Walmart or Gamestop..

Look at local stores. I know I've seen reports on reddit and elsewhere of some local Target stores still having Day One Xboxes launch day PS4s still available. Anything online will definitely be sold out no matter where you look. Local stores will be much more likely to have spare stock still available. Although every day that chance drops substantially.

Ok, so I got the UPC codes added from the master matrix. I've also started adding new models into the matrix like the G2, Mega, etc. that aren't in the master yet. If we can get true confirmation of what card is compatible with these devices I'll add it to the matrix.

Sprint's 14 day policy is split into two.

1. The 14 day period starts from the day it is shipped.

2. If the phone is activated, it starts from the day it is activated. (New lines of service are usually shipped activated so you can use them immediately).

It is setup this way just in case you receive the phone but don't activate it and return it unopened. Unopened devices are not subject to restocking fees, etc. because they are still sealed and can be resold as new. The 14 day period can't start from activation date as the phone was never activated, hence the dual return window.

None of this matters in retail settings obviously.

'12 Civic for my daily driver

Dream car would be an Audi R8 though. Love them... 

That does seem like an obvious option to have for the mobile version, much more so than the full site version.

Yeah, on the full version you can hit the HOME button on the keyboard to go to the top... not on the mobile version though since there is no such button/constant keyboard.

Thanks I appreciate it. The guy who activated the Torque through chat said that he was able to somehow get the SIM Serial Number from the order and place it onto the phone in my account. Hopefully the SIM number he entered will match the one that is coming wednesday or i will have to get them to fix it.

All new devices have SIMs preinstalled, the SIM SKU is not listed on the box either for all other Sprint devices, just the number itself for the card. I doubt the G2 would be different in that regard just because it can be.

Any update on what model SIM card used in the LG G2?

Nothing official I've seen, just rumor and speculation mostly. The UICC cards don't really state on the card themselves what model they are... it's on the card the UICC comes attached (that doesn't usually come with the phone, only with replacement cards).

Is there any chance of getting a button at the bottom of the mobile theme to jump to the top of the page? I have no idea if this is possible on mobile browsers. In some threads it can take a while to scroll all the way back to the top of the page to access the menu again or go back to the forum view from a thread.

 

After updating my EVO 4G LTE what I get is 24016. I'd really like to be able to access the 800mhz band, but my phone never seems to find any. Maybe they just have not deployed in my area yet. But we're already half LTE deployed, so it would be quite an oversight on their part. 

 

I'm wondering if I'm being given a purposefully outdated PRL due to being on an MVNO. Any chance of that? 

 

I found the Sprint PRL list here in the forums, here is what it says:

24016 24015 SV-LTE and BC10 2012 forward CL Corporate Liable SV-LTE PRL identical to 22xxx and also supports Simultaneous Voice/Data.

 

So, Corporate...I'm going to guess it isn't being updated with the latest 800mhz entries?

 

While 800mhz is testing, it uses a network code that is not loaded in any production PRL. There is a custom Premier Sponsor PRL made by our on Digiblur that adds this testing NID entry into the PRL I believe. 800mhz sites tend to come on in clusters, so they will be on this testing frequency for a while until they are ready to go live.
