Anyone know what is Happen tomorrow for Sprint? would like to know in advance

Nope. San Berbardino got an extension that covers them until next June. Hopefully by then they will finally vacate the necessary spectrum.

Like 2017 or 2016 of june?

San Bernardino County is still the issue here. Las Vegas still has no B26 LTE either, and neither does LA. It's a wonder Kings County was given the go ahead for B26.

Is there any way we can help Sprint get this to be fixed?

Now it would be nice to see that here in Bakersfield we have I think only 2 towers running on 1x800 without any B26 really sad to see everyone else get better than us always the hurry up & wait game

Pretty quite on here

Should be fixed within the week. Most call issues I have here in Nevada are fixed within 3 days

I have been dealing with this issue since June & have been on the phone with Sprint since Sunday

Enjoy some funny Sprint Talk

so I have been dealing with issues with dropped calls in East Bakersfield any idea if they are going to fix this issue thanx

I had a Great Trip to Oakland yesterday & I my phone to pick up band 26 speeds were not as fast as B41 yet better than B25 just had to share

pretty quite on here

Any luck on getting info for Bakersfield Towers being updated or are we stuck until all the Red Tape is cleared up??

no more News about anything for Kern Co?

San Bernardino...

Thanx 

I keep getting 1x800 but it stays around for like a day and then goes away for a few days and then it's back. Anyone have ideas why? 

nope wish 1X800 & B26 would get all over Kern Co yet with Santa Barbara making it hard for So Cal to get the upgrades we want & need hard to say

Pretty Quite on here I post something about New hardware & 1X800 where they has been non before & this page has gone silent is everyone out to lunch or on a long Vacation? 

Just found 1x800 at 4539 buena vista rd bakersfield it was not there before now it strong yet Speeds are the worst ever no LTE with it really hope something more comes of it

Band 45 is a non existent and. Sprint is band 25/26/41.

yes I know that & you know that I want to know what kind of BS he was tiring to pull & he was very adamant that there was a Band 45 Spark LTE Just did not say where in Bakersfield they are I kept asking are you sure & he said yes 

HELP HELP SPRINT HAS TOLD ME A WOOPER OF A TAIL YESTERDAY PLEASE ANYONE CLEARIFY THIS!!! I was told Spark will be running on "Band 45"?????? where in the world did this band come from & are there some sort of quad band phones I never heard about yet? or is Sprint just blowing smoke again?????

Everywhere in Texas, when you're indoors then this is from strongest to weakest:

 

1x 800

1x 1900

EVDO 1900

LTE 800

LTE 1900

LTE 2500

 

LTE signal seems to deteriorate a lot faster indoors than CDMA technology. 800 LTE always fall back to a somewhat useful 1900 3G EVDO (around -101 through -103).

my Brother lives in Midland TX he has the worst coverage & he is on an HTC M8

Yeah, 800MHz LTE is going to make a massive difference, especially before densification.

 

Visalia (and Merced for that matter) is a very lucky city in the Central Valley. Being a Clear market, they have a dense grid of towers. If they're converted to full Sprint sites (with band 25, 26, 41) Sprint will have a network as dense as T-Mobile's in those cities. And in my opinion both cities need them, and would allow Sprint to easily have the fastest network there.

 

Visalia Clear locations:

 

Merced Clear locations (huge difference, considering this city of 80+k is mostly covered by 2 Sprint towers): 

How did you find this map? which site I would love to see Bakersfield towers like this was this Sensorly?

As Josh mentioned, Visalia is part of Tulare County so no 800MHz LTE for them. I haven't seen it in Hanford (Kings County) either - would help a ton.

 

As for your mom's place, Sensorly shows you should get LTE there, at least outside. Perhaps try flipping airplane mode on and off?

 

In areas where you only get 1X800 (as in, only that, not even 3G) then you won't get LTE. That's because 1X800 is the strongest signal. This is most common on rural roads far from Sprint towers because Sprint has a sparse network around here.

 

In my experience, from strongest to weakest:

 

1X800

800MHz 4G LTE

1900MHz 3G EVDO

1900MHz LTE

I did get a little of the LTE B41 yet not much strength inside or outside just sad to not see any B26 anywhere from LA to Visalia

All Right Boys/Gals I have yet once again been up to see my mom in Visalia & yet on my drive up there while looking the Note 4 & my own LG G2 I still can not get anything with Band 26 can anyone explain why I can't get it while others on here keep posting they get B26 all up there & Fresno why are my phones not getting it? also when my phones pick up 1x800 my phone will not pick up B26 or any LTE unless its not supposed to ever get it please help me understand what is going on with this issue my moms place is close to N Parkwood Ct/ Akers visila ca thanx in advance

I'm in northern OC/eastern LA County, I still have not seen the 800 RRU's installed on the towers south and east of that virtual diagonal 800 boundary yet...you can be sure I'll holler when I see them though!

 

EDIT: In the LA Metro thread of course [emoji6]

I went to Griffith Park this week & I got 1x800 while I was there no idea where the tower is just know when I was at the top of the hill my phone was going off like crazy with it going in & out of the signal for 1x800

I noticed Kettleman City (at I-5 and CA-41) has LTE now. Went to LA this weekend and decided to test the range of the tower while there. I was driving with family so I didn't check if it had band 26, but I assume yes because from the tower (in Kettleman City) I counted 10 full miles of LTE signal driving south on I-5. That's the longest range LTE tower I've experienced - nothing like the short range 1900MHz LTE towers in Hanford. Signal was also very stable - gradually went thru 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 bars without any fluctuations. After the 10 miles, the 1 LTE bar lasted very shortly and the phone switched to 5 bars of 1X... and eventually no service. Way much 1X on I-5 - hopefully they add a few towers here and there to provide a solid LTE experience in the future. 

 

I was in southern LA for two days and unfortunately had too much sluggish 3G indoors and outdoors in random spots of towns - could definitely tell it was an area without 800MHz LTE. I was not a happy camper when I was bored and my 9gag (or worse yet, driving directions) would take an eternity to load. Where LTE, though, speeds were fine.

 

Can't wait to have 800MHz LTE everywhere., especially now that I see it can match or beat EVDO range.  

I was just in LA/Hollywood & Santa Monica all LTE towers I look at had only Band 41 I have the Note 4 & the LG G2 yet still could not find Band 26 anywhere while driving Band 41 TD-LTE  can not understand why in one of  the Largest cities in the CA still can't get all 3 Bands pretty sad if you ask me & just wish Bakersfield would hurry up the Sprint website for coverage shows that we have LTE all over here yet we know since they only have like 5 towers active that we will have to wait even longer 

Say thanks to San Bernardino County Public Safety blocking lte 800 deployment in your area.
