Well at leas its (normal)

Bobby

If you have very high performance LO-E glass in your windows and some other types of high performance glass, then it could. However, very few of us have that kind of very expensive glass in our homes. And then your window openings would have to be pretty large to allow a meaningful amount of RF through.

 

I think most of your issue is EVO related. It hates to hold low LTE signals.

My 3 year old son was helping me blow the signal in the other night when I first started to get LTE at my house lol. My wife says all this 4G is making me crazy haha. I get roughly -106 to -107 RSRP in my living room right after toggling airplane mode before it switched back to 3G. Didnt think that was all that bad of signal.

Bobby

Robert, Does opening windows in your house "let the signal in"? (I was told the only stupid question is the question that is never asked)

Bobby

Tried it. Not even close to the correct locations.

Bobby

Yeah I hope something gets updated. Soon.

Also its funny. Inside my house if I have my phone on my island-3G. Raise the phone up an arms length-4G.

Bobby

I had this issue once in our device testing. I think I turned off mobile data and then back on. I actually think it happened with the GNex once too.

This happens almost daily. Also the 4G will stay lit but I cant use the data either. Just happened 20 minutes ago. Had toggle airplane mode.

Bobby

Thanks Robert.

Anyone have an issue while connected to 4G the data connection goes dead and you have to restart the phone or cycle airplane mode to get the connection back? I totally lose 3G/4G all together. Evo LTE

Bobby

What is the best way to find out which 4G tower you are connected to?

Bobby

I just went on sprints coverage page and i am seeing little black dots and a weird blue sign in an around Boston? The weird blue sign is in Dorchester. Not sure but it could be signs of towers that are being updated.

Coverage.sprint.com?

Bobby

I mapped it on sensorly in my front yard lol. So excited right now my wife is making fun of me lol.

Bobby

Just got 4G on Oakley St in New Bedford at my house!!!! Only outside though inside I get 4G for 5 seconds even with the windows open . Robert, any idea which tower I am connecting to? Oakley St New Bedford, Ma 02745 is where I live.

Bobby

The southend is kinda a town if your from Boston

Well Im not from there, thanks.

Bobby

Gotcha

Anyone get LTE at the Big E? I had ehprd but no LTE, I think CM10 is still jacked up for LTE. Going to switch back to stock when I go to Westport and Wareham next week.

 

I also get ehprd at Bradley Airport in CT, and rom doesn't handle it well. I love jelly bean, but CM10 is bugging me.

Oh ok. Please say specific towns.

Bobby

I got 4G in the South End yesterday. Signal was weak on the Huntington side of the corridor park, but speeds were good everywhere from the corridor at least to Tremont for at least several blocks north of Mass Ave.

New Bedford, Ma?

Anyone have 4g today off of Kings Highway New Bedford? Noticed another blip on sensorly.

Bobby

Had 4g just long enough to get it on sensorly at Webster Bank on Rockdale Ave in New Bedford, Ma.

Bobby

Just so you know I was driving up 140 when I was able to hold the fairly steady 4G signal. Going from 140 toward 24. I wasn't on any side streets or anything, so there might be more trees in your way or something.

 

I noticed that the woodsy area right after the cumberland farms gas station on the left side when going toward the dartmouth mall I was not able to pick up 4g, but as soon as i passed the trees it came right back.

 

Anyway, i also use a program called OpenSignalMaps to cycle through my network when I know i'm in an area that has 4g. Seems to work pretty okay. Although like a few other posters have said, it seems like the EvoLTE sadly has a subpar LTE radio in it .

How far up 140 Did it last? I lose it just before 195.

Bobby

I had that issue in the past depending on what rom ive had running. But this phone on a stock rom i havent lost complete mobile network. Just noticing weird radio issue's with LTE mostly. Dont want to wait till LTE is completely deployed to find out that my EVO is completely unable to hold onto LTE service and then not be able to return it for another LTE phone that actually detects LTE correctly.

Have you had it looked at?

Bobby

I think that just has to do with the radio on the EVO LTE. i have been curious also why it seems my EVO doesn't automatically change over to LTE and the other phones seem to retain the LTE connection for longer distances from what ive read. Hopefully a firmware update in the future with fix this.

Same problems. Have to restart my phone a lot because it wont reconnect to the mobile network,

Bobby

Can someone please explain why someone with their phone on LTE only will pick up a tower but not me while I switch back and forth from CDMA only to LTE/CDMA near a specific tower. I pick up 4G no problem at my work but not where he picked it up for sensorly.
