I must have been lucky with mine. It has always worked correctly.

It is my backup phone so I keep it up to date and charged.

I don't think B26 is clear in Otero County for deployment from the FCC.

I forgot the tower outside of Hollowman already has 800 SMR. Should be coming online soon with LTE. They have had the microwave back haul in place for awhile now.

Hope they are close. Would not think that they would spend the money on an upgrade unless it was close to being used.

It has been three months since I talked to the crew doing b26 upgrade here in Alamogordo . It is still not live yet. Sure hope they get it done soon

Dropped my phone in water today. Fully submerged. Put it in a bag of brown rice and put in the sun for a half hour. Hopefully it'll be ok. I don't have the $79 to replace it right now.

I ran into a guy working on the base cabinet awhile back. He said he was upgrading it for 2500 LTE. He told me the next step would be an antenna crew come in and do an install. That was about six months ago. This crew said they only did 800 LTE. Why not 800 voice?

Ran into a crew down here in Alamogordo doing the b26 upgrade. For our sole tower. Hope it helps with speed. Data speeds have been below 2mb down and less then 1mb up.

I am not sure about the new music app. I haven't been able to figure out how to shuffle when playing from the song listing.

So has anyone installed 8.4 yet? I have it downloaded but am going to wait to see if any problems arise.

How do you know you are getting HD voice?

They may have chose not to run fiber there because they cost to upgrade it was too high from the backhaul vendor.  Thanks for the field reporting.  Good stuff.  

You are correct sir,. Holloman tower has got a dish also. Hope that means LTE should come soon to this tower.

It is a feeder site to another site that does not have fiber. Maybe the site out by Holloman? Or maybe the WiMax site or one of the old iDEN sites in the area. Which way is the microwave radome pointed?

They have it pointed at the holloman tower direction. I will check that tower for one also.

I will check that out tomorrow. I am pretty sure there is fiber out at the Holloman tower. I can seen the warning signs along the Hwy. and the pings are pretty good out there. either way it is nice to see continuing upgrading around here. I hope B26 comes soon. Too many areas you are dropping to 3G/1X when you go inside.

So I ran into a crew working on the tower down here in Alamogordo. They are installing microwave antenna for Sprint for back-haul.They have fiber there already, so what does the microwave add to the mix? are they going to dump the fiber? or is this part of a bigger upgrade?

So my iPhone completely won't make or receive phone calls...  I have been on Chat with Sprint for the last 90 minutes.  Not happy... Wife's iPhone is fine though...  

 

Didn't I read something about some people were having issues with WiFi calling enabled, but not being on WiFi?

I had that happen to me. I had to go into my plans services on the sprint site a deselect wifi calling. Phone worked fine after that. I had to turn wifi calling back on today because I can not make/receive calls on my iPhone or nexus 5. Tower just had the 65mghz upgrade. So I think they had something fail in it.

Ericsson is swapping out 2 (some times 3) RRUS11s for 1 RRUS31s. Takes up less space, uses less power, and has more advanced capabilities.

 

That leaves 2 RRUs per sector. The project is unrelated to the Band 41 deployment, however sometimes the operations occur near the same time.

Just ran into a crew doing the "65 mghz." upgrade the tower in Alamogordo. Talking with the guy not sure what the difference will be when done. Since I did the ios 8.3 update I have had a degrade in signal strength. Hope this helps.

Same....

Same here, Is it possible to get back to the previous iOS version?

You have to login to your acct and remove the WiFi calling feature.  When you use it the first time it is added to your acct just like any other feature.  That should resolve the issues with the calls.

 

I am not seeing it active on my account. When I look in wifi calling and click on my phone. It says wifi calling is not supported on my iPhone.

Well this is what I have. Incoming calls from a land line go straight to VM, cell calls seem to get through most of the time. This started right after I tried the wifi calling. I turned it off (not sure on the reprovisioning side though). Still having the same problem. Also seem to have a degrade in my LTE signal. Use to hang around -102 to -107. Now it runs -112 to -115 and I am seeing a lot more 3G. Is it possible to downgrade iOS version?

Nope, just the single NV antenna per sector on the top tier.

Um, last year this sight had the Three RRU setup for each atena. Not sure when they switched to this style. Was hoping B41 was on the way. I thought it might be due to the upgrade crew I talked to in Alamo telling me that the new antenas had a single box on them..

So has anyone seen any b41 upgrades yet? I know down here in Alamogordo they have done the cabinet upgrade for B41. Just have to do the antena next.

 

Attach pic is of a sprint site in Las Cruces. Are those b41 antenas?

Same here. I have not seen a different PRL on my 6+
