    LG G5 Rumor Thread (LG LS992)

    in LG

    No CAx3.

     

    So disappointing. LG can no longer run with the big dogs.  Reduced to staying on the porch.  Samsung can prevent rooting with no LG competition on its S7/S7 Edge.  Without CAx3, the LG G5 will likely be a launch failure unless the VoLTE is actually implemented soon.

    So dumb question but is that LTE in Alaska(anchorage) on sensorly false like the ones in upper NE Montana ? I know they're trying to expand in Alaska was just curious if that's real or not on the app

    It is not current. The Sensorly shown could be real or not. We have seen where sites can be tested years in advance. It is also possible these sites are broadcasting, but the public is not allowed on for a multitude of reasons (further expansion planned, looking for local partner, lack of backhaul, marketing launch needed, site support, site contract dispute, etc). Sprint does have infrastructure in Alaska from Expedience and they have recently renewed microwave links.

     

    Sensorly will not allow corrections to be made, even if it was done on your phone. I once dragged b41 to my backyard from 20 miles away and they would not remove it.

    The sensorly marks in North Dakota were found to be false streaks, likely from someone spoofing Sprint on some other device. Ropert actually drove up there to check them out after they appeared last year.

     

    Demoted Bismark, ND and Alaska entries for not being current on Sensorly.

     

    If you live or travel in these areas, map your trip on Sensorly.  Then make a post here.  Better yet, use an app like Signal Check Pro (buggy) or LTE Discovery.

    Does this mean theoretically if Sprint would natively cover the UP with service, it would be considered in the North Wisconsin market? 

     

    Great find, I've been looking at a lot of these you've posted.

     

    It does appear that most markets roughly follow BEA boundaries.  Cellcom likely has first rights for LTE in that area as it is on Sprint's 3G and more special coverage map on their website.

    Map of Sprint Possible LTE Areas in New Rural BEAs

     

    Based on Sprint FCC filings shown above in last two pages
    Blue Balloons = only on FCC Maps
    Green Balloons = On Sensorly (current) or Sprint Coverage Maps
    Yellow Balloons = Area LTE unknown to S4GRU, not new BEA LTE
    Forbidden = No filing found for this BEA

     

     

    Map for tapatalk users

     

    Total new BEAs license population: 3,264,703

    Total new LTE covered population : 1,343,043

    Total new LTE population % covered: 41.14%

    Done.  I did not see the following BEAs: Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Gulf of Mexico, thus all are accounted.  

     

    All say required notification received (3/9) then offlined for expired license review (3/10).  There is no date on the attachments.

     

    the following search was used:

     

    Specified Search Radio Service Code=CW, CY
    Applicant City=reston
    Applicant State=Virginia
    Receipt Date=02/25/2016 to 3/10/2016

     

    from here: http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/searchAdvanced.jsp

     

    I use City and State to get all of the Sprint subsidiaries.  Occasionally I pickup someone else.

    So that you do not knock yourself out with too much searching, Sprint has filed these Required Notifications for all of its PCS G block BEAs across the country.  Not just the previously unconstructed, largely rural BEAs.  The filings were due for all BEAs.  You can view the filings for the likes of New York and Los Angeles, too.

     

    But good find.  I did not think to look this week at pending applications for the PCS G block licenses -- even though I created this thread almost three years ago.

    These were all filed on March 9th.  I have read just a few and they indicate these are for all LTE at greater than -119.8 RSRP.  They provide a wealth of information for sparsely covered markets.  Maps for markets such as Columbus are of quite limited use.  Any idea as to what stage of construction these sites would need to met for the substantial service requirement?

     

    ( I hope to make it through all 173 filings tonight, posting those that I feel are relevant.)

    Another possible repeat, but good verification (Grand Forks, ND):

    I have 173 of these, skipping the ones I figure we know or not interested in.
