I tried to see the distance on the site downtown. And see if it would hand off to any others. So when the downtown site is fully turned on its already mapped. It is getting great speeds. Even though I was the only one on it hahah

well im at the Ymca so I was on it a while this morning....and the statement you made about the Southeast sector being the fastest on that site by the Rose Garden was accurate. Going north and east from that tower had speeds between 4-16mbps but going southeast I hit 30 mbps down several times. Right there on Houston and Broadway the speeds were excellent

From what I can tell there are only 2 or 3 active sites all near the live site. 2 in testing mode and need a hand off and active data to keep it. I see a pattern of slowly moving from the center outwards towards the loop and such. And at night I only see one rru with a light on. Could be changing real soon though!

I see someone mapped a large portion going out on S. Broadway and going down Beckham turning into Troup Highway....Nice work

you hit a one of the famous "donut" site's. Its the site on 64 and loop 323 west I believe. Based on the serving cells and all that

are you going by the site in front of the mall today?

Yeah... and that means what? You can get a signal up to 8+ miles from a site depending on how it's configured. I've seen close to 13 miles in open country.

ook I just didn't think that site would deliver that kind of coverage since I have been around that tower before and lost coverage after about a mile and a half

Remember, bars DO NOT show 4G signal levels (except for iPhone).

Since you have a Note 2, you will need to either go into the Engineering screens (dial ##DEBUG# and enter 777642 ), or download the SignalCheck app.

It sounds like you had a very very weak LTE signal, which is why speeds were so slow. Most likely still from the one site that is currently active.

ok but that site that is active is pretty far from where I was

yeah right by john tyler I pick up a new site, but it is only in that area. It is coming from the site on 64 west and the loop. Testing mode I think. And the site downtown is 3g/4g accepted I think

ok I was over on the west end of Garden Valley in front of Boulter middle school and barely pick up 4g but horrible speeds so I guess its coming from that site on 64 that may be in testing mode because I had 4 to 5 bars

possible new testing site. Got some new cell values on lte engineering screen!

im doing some more mapping today but have you seen any new sites

I got the screen shots of the engineering screen too. For all 3 sectors. I found that the south east sector has the fastest data for whatever reason. I am not sure If I am allowed to post the engineering screens here but I did post them in the sponsor forum in the link in a previous post

ok cool

Well looks as if we've mapped a decent amount of data

im gonna go map some now. Try to see how far it goes

Cool! Coming my way i lost coverage around the Ymca which is were I work. Only had about 2 bars there but I'll map some more tomorrow as well

Been waiting quite a while to mark that one actually.

 

Great! I was happy to go out and be the one who mapped it. I've been waiting to do that. I've been on S4GRU about a year and a half and ive stayed up to date with cities in Texas and cities around me and stayed up to date with my city with the latest updates. I can really appreciate the guys who put in countless hours and hard work to help make everybody's 4G dreams come true lol....thanks guys

Ohh I wouldn't say Athen's has been launched. They only have one tower online, which would explain the poor poor speeds. I'm sure speeds in Tyler will decline a bit when people notice they have 4G

oh ok didn't know it was only 1 tower but I guess the speeds and coverage confirms that and yea speeds will decline here im sure. I've updated my Facebook friends about our 4g status

Add Tyler,Tx to the mix. I mapped an area tonight on sensorly

I can see it on sensorly for android as of 11:08 pm.

what I was able to map. There's more 4g data to be mapped but this was all I had time for. These speeds and coverage were far superior to what I got in Athens a week ago and Athens,Tx has been launched for months. Very Impressive Sprint. Tyler shouldn't take long to get full coverage. Im guessing Tyler is officially in "pre-launch" status??

Currently mapping Lte in Tyler

Not sure.. Reset the application data and try again. Not sure why it would have issues.

its working now. Im about to go "Mapping"

Lte is live down by the Cotton Belt in Tyler and around Rose Stadium and there is coverage up by Jeff Buie used cars on Palace here arw some speed tests

is the 4g coming from the tower ob mccain dr?

heres the best speeds ive seen so far

Custom rom?

no my phone is stock. I just mapped some 3g the other day so idk why im having this problem

is the 4g coming from the tower ob mccain dr?

there's 2 towers but yes there is 4g coming from that site

for some reason sensorly won't let me map anything

Another screenshot

The top 3 tests are the LTE I just picked up. Im here on Palace amd Front Street by Jeff Buie Used Cars. Now if I can get Sensorly to act right i'll do some mapping

LTE is live

I work at the Cottonbelt building and just noticed my 4G data indicator.  Ran a speedtest and got 8.198 mb download speeds.  Looks like that tower is live.

I work at the Ymca which about .5 miles from that tower but I must be connected to one downtown but im about to head over to the tower now to test it out
