Any problems with the 8.2 update?

So has anyone else have problems getting an incoming call while on LTE? They just turned it on here. At first I had no problems. It seems to have started with the b41 upgrade. Sprint care was no help, says I have to wait for the upgrade to finish and then my phone will work. Not sure I buy that.

Well they have fixed the tower. Talked to a crew onsite they were replacing some components on the tower. One tech said that they were not suppose to turn on LTE because they did not have the permits yet and that it is turned off. Not according to my phone. Was kind of hoping it was the crew to install the tower equipment for B41. He said no that is not schedule yet. Did say we will have two B41 sites in town. That will be nice. So now everything is working great down here. Sure is nice to have the LTE when waiting in a doctors office.

That is a CSFB problem. The iPhone 5's don't use CSFB for voice. They constantly ping the voice network looking for a call. So any non CSFB device would still work fine.

Thanks Robert. I thought all iPhones pinged the towers. That should make it a big enough problem for a priority fix.

If they did not enable eCFSB, switch back to your iPhone as they do not use circuit switch fall back. It would only effect your nexus 5. If that doesn't change, call sprint.

If I am watching the status bar when a call is suppose to be coming in, I can see it drop from LTE to 1x. I will then see the signal drop to 3G. Seeing all this I was thinking it phone problems at first, since the reset did not fix it. Not sure what to think now.

Is anyone having problems receiving calls on their iPhones 6?

I have a feeling they have been around ABQ as well.  I need to do some research this weekend.

He did say they are currently working ABQ and Hobbs and El Paso.

Yeah Baby!! Band 41 upgrade is in progress in Alamogordo. Just talked to the tech installing the Nokia equipment in the base cabinets. He said the next step will be installing new antennas in the next couple of days (let's hope anyways)

Could be a hospital distributed antenna system.

When using the signal pro app on my N5 several time it showed two neighboring towers. The only other tower I know about is 15 miles away by Holloman AFB

I just hit 50% battery with 2.5 hours of usage (mostly from Music and Spotify, some Weather checking and light messaging with my wife). That doesn't seem right... I took the phone off the charger at 6:05 this morning. And I'm at 50% battery at 9:55?

I'm wondering if I should take it to a genius. I got this phone on launch day...

What does your battery app usage say? Some of the ones on mine that use a lot of battery are doing background refreshing and so on..

Looking at network.sprint.com, it looks like just one of the towers were upgraded to LTE. Hopefully Band 26 for you as well.

 

Happy camper?

Hell yes I am! I was running some sped test on 3G and was getting some awesome speeds. Was going to post about that when I saw my phone switch to LTE. Boy did I let out one hell of a whoopee.

Thanks.

After doing some mapping I think I am wrong on the tower outside of Holloman AFB transmitting Band 25.

I did some mapping of the Alamogordo area. I am wondering if there is some LTE antennas that are not on the NV map? I was getting a very strong signal by the hospital. In the past you were lucky to get a usable 3G signal.

I would hope that at least one of the two sites is located on a fat cottonwood tree.

They have the antenna hidden very well,

Can you pin point what site it is?  I know there are only two.

Both towers are broadcasting Band 25.

We have LTE band 25 in Alamogordo.. ????????????????. Test is from inside my home. Faster then my DSL. Can you not map from sensory in IOS?

When I talked to the network team last week, the guy told me that our market would be fully completed by December.

Well I will hope that it is closer to the schedule posted in the premier area then what I was told. If the 3G was better durning peek time it would not be so bad. Until then it happens when it happens.

Come on Sprint and light up Alamogordo please!! Back haul is in place. Do not let that Ercisson Tech be right ( he said he does not believe LTE wil be turned on until late this year or early next year, and B41 will be late 2016). The information says different.

Just don't take off that glass too many times. I cracked my 2nd one removing it when I put on my Otterbox Defender.

I still can't decide if I want to keep the Otterbox built in protector, or just go back to the Zagg Glass. I like the feel of the tempered glass much better, but haven't had time to take off the plastic screen protector.

I did that. I popped out the built i. Otter box and put in a zagg. It worked no problem. I do have a very thin gap on either end. From the zagg to the otter box protector. Thought that that would turn into a crud gathering area. So far it has not been a problem. Also my Touch ID is much better at reading my fingers and the up swipe to access the quick menu screen works on the first swipe now. Gonna do the same thing with my iPad defender case soon.

That was done a few weeks ago. I did not see any improvements so do not know if there were problems or not. Gonna swing by today to see if there is a crew working on it.

Well I went by today and no one was on site. I did see that the fiber box panel was left open. So someone was there in the last day or so. My phone did drop this tower a couple of time today and connected with the one 13 miles outside of town. Was is sad is that my data speed were much better off that tower then the closer one. LOL

Good luck. Hopefully back haul integration.

Well for the last couple of days we keep dropping to 1x in Alamogordo. Don't know if it is a tower problem or maybe an upgrade in progress. Driven by the tower but have not seen anyone working on it. Hoping for some LTE soon.

I'm totally with you on that. That's why I bought an Otterbox defender for my phone. I'm too paranoid out of my head that I might break it, so bulky case it stays in.

I got he same case. Popped out the built in screen protector and put on a zagg protector. With three young boys this case has already saved my phone on two occasions.

So this keeps popping up on my screen about once or twice a day. I haven't been able to figure out why.

I had already entered my id and all durning set up.
