So today I drove all over St Augustine and lost LTE briefly 4 times at completely different towers and dropped data altogether and ended up on EVDO every time. Very odd. Hopefully this means something is being done on the 3G end of the towers. Maybe SMR? -
Or you can just throw it in the dishwasher. I'm sure it will be pretty well fried afterwards.
-
I've seen EVDO Rev A instead of eHRPD only twice. Once on a back stretch of sr16 in St Augustine and it only lasted one night and was back to eHRPD the following morning and the second time was while passing by the tower by CR210 and i95 by the Phantom Fireworks building before it finally became 4G/3G accepted.

Sprint LTE Coverage Maps via Sensorly
The Dave replied to S4GRU's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
I've noticed lately that when I map, it shows up quickly when zoomed way in but not when zoomed out. It's been days since I've seen it update. I just assume that it's a back up on the server side. -
is EVDO Rev B a part of Network Vision?
The Dave replied to RoccoM's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
There would be little point in wasting the time, money and spectrum to support Rev B and aggregate data to increase 3G speeds to just be a fraction of the speed of LTE. By the time any implementation could be widespread to be useful, LTE will be as plain vanilla as Rev A is to us now. -
I think Lookout is preinstalled on the G2 and cannot be deleted. Almost like it is its own virus..
-
I typically saw pings between 80-100 ms on 3G from the NV towers here. LTE is usually around 30-60 ms here for me. But as Robert said, pings have nothing to do with a type of technology or speed of the backhaul. It's purely how the current conditions in your area at that time react on your network connection. Congestion, signal strength, bandwidth hogs, weather, a geek with a huge radio transmitter or even alien mind control rays can have an effect on your ping time.

Must have been connected to Verizon Spark.
-
Yeah, this wifi calling seems useless to me if you need a Sprint signal, anyway. The reason I was hoping for wifi calling in the first place is because my dad lives in an oddly isolated area in western Iowa with no Sprint coverage. It would be awesome to be able to still use my phone without roaming on Verizon whenever I visit.
-
It says it needs a native CDMA signal to satisfy federal 911 regulations and it is only available for calls in the USA. Not sure if it would help with overseas calling or for those outside of useable Sprint coverage.
-
It is...although I was a little saddened over Thanksgiving when I only managed an 18 Mbps speed test. Still faster than my Comcast cable connection, though. A lot better latency, too.
-
My 30 Mbps LTE has been slowing down to the low 20s lately. I really, really need some of this band 41 soon before I go insane from this slow speed.
-
Did you try turning off LTE?
-
Most of the counties in Florida have been cleared to use the 800 mhz spectrum. This waiver was granted 2 months ago from the look of it. So let's start flipping switches.
-
There must be something going on. Other areas have hundreds of towers come online with 1x800 all at once. Some areas even have nearly 100 LTE 800 online. We know that Ericsson can do 800 from looking at Texas. So...hopefully switches will start getting flipped and entire markets can be live all at once. I don't see any reason why not. It seems that the equipment is already there.
-
Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if the total number of subscribers on MVNOs outnumbered the total number of Sprint subscribers.
-
So this may be a dumb question, but has anyone in an Ericsson market actually connected to an 800 mhz signal outside of using a special test PRL?
-
I just mean that the link from XDA about the Spark update has been posted 4 times since last night. Just my way of being a smartass about it.
-
Well, you know how the Canadians are... Weak towers, eh?
-
Y'all have more serious issues to deal with now... Apparently the G2 now suffers from post echoing. I seriously hope that LG addresses it on 1/24 with the Spark update. I just read about it on XDA. Any Sprint employee care to confirm?

I remember when I was in middle school I used to use Netzero dialup and piggyback AOL over TCP/IP so I could message friends during school before cellphones were more than a backpack you'd have to wear and text messaging was even a concept. It was pretty awesome back then. Free Internet, all you had to do is bare with the ads that slowed your Pentium 90 to a grinding hault.

One of the lines on my account is my mother in law, who lives in NJ. On the website, it says you have to make an appointment at a store for Framily. Does everyone have to go to the store, or can I add her to a Framily even though she is not here? Also, can you choose who is on your bill? I'd like to keep my wife and possibly my mother in law on the same bill since it'd be easier to pay each month for one bill instead of 3 separate bills.
-
At least the Orlando market already has a few 800 mhz acceptances. So far, the only one that Jacksonville has is the site in Gainesville.
-
I've always wondered why the carriers don't provide their own wifi. I'm pretty sure that AT&T has a nice sized wifi network. I imagine that having wifi in major areas would help people with the negative perceptions of slow or unusable data during events and in big tourist attractions while keeping the network stable and usable for voice and text traffic.
-
There are a few spots where it is just on the edge of service, but I am hoping that the 800 mhz rollout will take care of that problem.
