  1. My M8 wont swap from 1900 to 800 during a call but it will go from 800 to 1900 during a call. Phone or network issue?
  2. I did a little search because the little building at the new site looked similar to the one on chase Ln which is also owned by HTC, this tower has 3 racks. I know Sprint, ATT, and another unknown rack is on this tower. So lets hope Sprint is renting a spot on this new tower. It gives me hope knowing Sprint is on other HTC towers.
  3. I ventured out for a little covert operation and snapped 3 more pics of the new Redi Mix Rd tower.
  4. This is possibly the one.http://www.antennasearch.com/sitestart.asp?sourcepagename=antennachecktowerreview&getpagename=pgtowerdetail_fcc&cmdrequest=getpage&ipos=1&registration_number=1292357 If it's HTC than it's ATT. ATT works great here, my wife has them and she has full bars most of the time in the house which is close to this tower. I wouldn't expect it to be ATT unless it's because of capacity.
  5. Does anyone know what tower is going up at rte 9&57 behind bojangles? This just went up in the past couple of days and the panels are going on it today. I sure hope it's Sprint, this site would solve 95%of my issues. From what I can tell all of the other companies have great service here so I may have some hope.
  6. I experience an unusable signal all the time. I work on a boat off the coast of SC about 15 miles north of Myrtle Beach. I get a usable signal around 8 miles or so depending on exactly where we are. I often get a full signal past this but it doesn't work. There's quite a difference between all the companies on the ocean here. I'm surprised I can't get a signal farther out as it's open space. Sprint and VZW go about the same TMO goes further and ATT goes farther than all of them. we sometimes go 12-14 miles and ATT will work pretty much the whole time. I may be wrong but it seems like GSM travels further(usable) in open space.
  7. is a voice call a hard hand off as in if your on Sprint and you loosenative coverage will your call swap or will it drop and you will have to recall?
  8. I've noticed something weird like this in Longs/Little River SC. There's one spot where I've even dropped a 1x800 call to give you an idea of the coverage at this spot. I've seen on multiple occasions a full Sprint signal but days apart, ironically it's right at a tall site which I think has VZW, ATT, and poss TMO but not Sprint. This morning I was driving at this spot and received a call and had full signal and call quality was great. The odd thing is I've picked up this full signal in the past with roaming turned off but signal check said VZW and no roaming indicator was there. This site could also service my house but I've never got a signal from it at home unless I'm roaming on VZW. Sprint really needs a site here, I could only hope. This is the only spot I've ever seen this.
  9. Yes it's network related... Not enough towers is the big issue. too many 1900 gaps around me so that's why I need every call on 800. There's even one spot I sometimes drop an 800 call. At that same spot there's a nice big tower with ATT/Big Red/TMO but not Sprint. If Sprint was at this site it would cover most of the gaps in the area. This area in Longs is way too busy to have bad coverage.
  10. I'm having swipe text issues since the Lollipop update. Sometimes I'll swipe a word and it won't show up and it will happen several times. I had no issues before this. Anyone experience this or have a fix?
  11. when you lose LTE does your phone always stay parked on 1x800 or do you see 1x1900 a lot? Àre all your calls 1x800?
