_{I see a large work crew on Benston Road in Whitehall!  Great news!!}

Can anyone tell if this tower has been upgraded? PS. Enjoy the storm pic! Tower is in Whitehall off of Benston Rd.

You were probably on the fringe of a tower if you lost it within a 1/2 mile or there might be some buildings/physical interference.  If you donate to the site, you can see maps with what towers are accepted and upgraded.

I cannot figure out where the link is to donate to the site!!  Help?

Yeah! At the McDonalds area in Whitehall my phone picked up 4G LTE....so of course I checked it out...what a turbo boost to the iPhone! Then, I drove about 1/2 mile away and I went back to 3G. Is this a hint at what is to come?

 

Maybe it isn't an option for the iPhone? I don't see an option for that....

Bummer! Wanted to map Muskegon/Whitehall area...

 

 

So...if I just let sensorly run while I'm driving, it will map out towers and signl strength?

 

 

It will map signal strength if you turn on active mapping and then click start under "map trip" for the drive. Tower locations are easy to determine after a little mapping is done around them. Zoom in pretty far and look for the dark purple (4 bars). There's a tower somewhere in pretty much every blob of dark purple - usually near the center.

Just received a Sprint text that says they are building a new sprint network with expanded 3G and new 4G LTE capabilities. Expect service interruptions while they do the work. Of course it didn't say what the timeframe was to turn it on!

True.....it's sad right here in Muskegon. I'm on Latimer Drive near Laketon and even just to read this forum using the app....is a chore.

Hart has full 4G LTE. My wife says she turns off wifi in the office because its faster than the buildings service. Cannot wait!

Any news on the Muskegon area?

My wife uses her Iphone 5 in Hart with full 4g LTE!!!  I have seen a new tower being upgraded just past the White Lake Drive exit on US 31 Northbound in Whitehall.  Any ideas in this area?
