Nexus 5 user in Wauwatosa here. Since I got the "Your new network is ready" email today, I'm curious if Sprint's work in the greater Milwaukee area is nearing completion. Thoughts? Opinions?
-
My N5 has been in and out of LTE the past week in Wuakesha but the past 48 hours it has been consistent. At Moreland and 164.
-
First time I've gotten LTE on my phone at my house on 60th and Lloyd. I think the Hawley Rd water tower is broadcasting.
-
First time I've gotten LTE on the N5 within city limits. Milwaukee is lighting up!
-
Sitting in my folk's living room in Edgerton picking up 1x800 from tower near Milton. Co Rd M and I 39/90.
-
Haha I was in Merton when that happened! I was at a client's location and heard SignalCheck go off and was like "what the hell?" Saw the 1x800 and did a couple fist pumps.

Handset: Nexus 5 32GB Black Google Play Store LTE connectivity: Can't connect unless forced in engineering screen. 3G is strong. (Galaxy Nexus and HTC Evo 4G LTE connect just fine.) Location: Waukesha, WI 53186 and Milwaukee, WI 53214 (I've only been able to test on purple towers "4G only") -
I guess I should have phoned support instead. First rep transferred me to teir II biz tech support, submitted ticket to engineering, guess we wait. The only reason I do chat first is because they usually direct me in the right direction. I don't expect them to resolve anything.
-
I just got off chat with Sprint about not connecting to LTE. Looks like it is a known issue with Google Play bought devices I will keep you guys updated.

We don't have B26 or B41 in my area, just B25. My N5 won't connect to B25 unless I set it under dial code 4636 (phone info) and change it to LTE only. Then I can only get data and no voice. What's weird is that when I toggle airplane mode, it says LTE for a second, drops, then connects to eHRPD. Sprint says wait til tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath. For those who have rock-solid LTE, what band are you on?
-
My LTE works when I set it to "LTE only" under Network Mode under the dialer code *#*#4636#*#* (what is the name of this screen anyway?) But of course if I don't have LTE I don't have any service. When all settings are default and I toggle airplane mode, it connects to LTE for a second, then falls back to 3G. Any ideas? 32GB Black.
-
I live in Milwaukee (no 800) and can't get it to connect to LTE unless I put "LTE only" in the *#*#4636#*#* screen. This causes problems when roaming between LTE and 3G towers. There's like 3 different places where you can change LTE settings. 1) Under mobile networks in the settings 2) Dialer code *#*#4636#*#* 3) Dialer code *#*#3282#*#* So 3G and LTE work for me, but I don't know the ideal settings. What are you guys changing to get LTE to work normally in non-800 markets?
-
No. The last time I was charged an activation fee was when I signed a new contract to get the S2.
-
I'm activated! I got a SIM from a local corp store. Called (888) 211-4727 to activate. Gave her the IMEI (minus the last digit) and the ICC ID. Up and running in 10 mins. Let me know if you guys need help.
-
Just picked up a SIM from a local Corp Sprint Store. Called ahead, gave them the SKU, said it was free. Stopped in and the guy who I talked to on the phone was "in training" but wanted to help me out. Some neck-beard repair center guy said they would need to activate it on a phone at the store. I told him "I wish I could activate it here, but I have a SERO (employee) account and can only do it through employee sales." I guess that's all he needed to hear. I got my SIM, and now I'm waiting for the UPS truck. Good luck, all.
-
I ordered a black 32GB at 6 on Friday night. Got shipping notification this morning at 7, Sunday. Logged into my Sprint account and chatted with support. Pasted the SKU from this thread and got a order confirmation (free) with item number CZ2102LWR. Thought I would let you guys know. So far, so good.
-
I'm in that boat with you guys. GS2 and all. Bought a Galaxy Nexus off craigslist to get some of that LTE goodness in MKE. I actually bought 2. Looking to sell the other if you're looking. With CM10 and free hotspot, I can wait out for a good phone for another few months. I would be willing to wait for the GN5 over the G2 simply because I love stock Android. I can't go back.

There should be a donaters-only forum for complaining about Sprint. If you want to complain, donate.
-
Congrats! Get mappin'
-
Where are you guys finding permit info? I live in Wauwatosa in Milwaukee.
-
I went on a work trip to Chicago yesterday and got to experience 1x800 and LTE everywhere. Twas a good day
-
I don't know if this has been said but the building that tower is on near hwy 18 and I94 is the regional Sprint headquarters. I used to go there for training.
-
That's so funny. I was glaring at that exact tower today trying to spot LTE equipment. I thought "nah, they will light up Waukesha last." Guess I was wrong! Too bad it doesn't reach Mooreland Blvd.
-
I snapped this of the tower just off Hawley. Any NV equipment?
-
Thank you! This is one of the 4 towers that surrounds my house. This is very good news. If I get a chance, I will take some shots with my girlfriend's paparazzi camera. BTW, this is tower -redaced- just off Hawley Rd. If we get some seasoned vets to confirm some high rez shots can we consider this site "In Progress?" EDIT: Nevermind, this is some other tower. Got excited there. Wauwatosa must have a lot of red tape at the local govt level.
