Is anyone in camp hill having general data issues? Dropping to 1x, 3g spotty? The last time this happened, I saw 4G light up. Hoping this means the tower near work is getting the upgrade.

Posted some new spots westbound on the PA turnpike near Carlisle last weekend.

I've noticed I have to toggle airplane mode if I'm coming into a 4G area having just left a 3G else, I stay on 3G. Perhaps its the modem on the GS3.

Shentel's making things happen. I passed what I believe is their northern most tower on the I81 corridor about 2 weeks ago and they were installing new backhaul. Went passed today and the NV equipment has been installed. Tower located here https://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.464572,-76.516610

 

Also passed this tower today http://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.453536,-76.38073 (I believe this is the north eastern most Shentel tower) and there appeared to be a cabinet sitting outside the fence. I did not drive in to verify what it was but I suspect/hope it is the start of new equipment deliveries to this site.

 

Go Shentel!

I used to commute 81 to Harrisburg past that tower ever day, it is most definitely their last tower.

Any updates metro Detroit Michigan?

Can someone do me a favor at go into ##DATA# and tell me what settings they are using?

Advanced - LTE Status

Others - HDR/1X Selection, LTE APN Settings

I think I goofed something up because all I can connect to now is 3G in the Harrisburg area.

More Harrisburg area speed tests. These were done in the Enola area, about 1mile from I-81.

It seems We may not be fully rolled out as my 3G icon will disappear in spots, then randomly return

Starting to see lte light up the Camp Hill area.

We do not have Shentel sites though. Only native Sprint sites. So we don't have any locations in Harrisburg.

Wouldn't turning off GPS, turning off WiFi and enabling "Use wireless networks" show you the tower to which you are connected? I know I am in Camp Hill and I'm usually connected to the tower at Sayford and Bartine St.

You may also want to try http://opensignalmaps.com/coverage-maps/ This doesnt appear completely accurate but may help. Driving around with google maps open and the above method will give you a better idea of where they are located.

 

 

That is purely handset capability. There could be upgrades happening to the network, but SVDO is not a tell-tale sign of NV. Sorry...

Shucks, thanks for answering!

For what its worth, I'm talking and surfing on 3G at the same time on the galaxy s3 in Harrisburg. Not sure if that is NV or just another upgrade. Still no LTE
