Nah this was the tower I pick up when I'm at work near market and telephone by the dmv. For whatever reason I had no data but signal check said I did. As soon as I left and headed down telephone my phone picked up data from another tower, for whatever reason I just couldn't get it at my work. I'll see what happens tomorrow.

ive got great news for us ive got it the past 2 nights an official lte signal off johnson from freeway exit to raiston but the strongest signal I got was -103 dbm but im pretty sure thats a good thing it should be near us soon I couldnt map it because sensorly said my battery was too low

Can someone more knowledgeable than me help me to understand why my signal check shows lte but I have no data? Is it a tower problem or a problem with my phone?

thats over by your house right? I got it thw other night for like the 5th time I think they are just testing it out

Yes, one site was already LTE accepted. If no one maps it out over the weekend, I'll re-activate my S3 on Monday to map it.

yea over by winco and the dmv right?

If it's like the site by my work, backhaul.

 

There was a site 3G accepted in Ventura, a bit over a week ago.... so no they haven't given up.

thats good it seems like most towers in ventura have the 3g speed upgrade so that must be a good start right?

Did sprint just give up on ventura? Or is backhaul that long

The whole Sprint network has eHRPD enabled. It is on the 3G side, and it does not require any physical work to be done at a site. It can run on legacy sites as well. It is not an indicator of LTE, and it does not produce better speeds.

 

If you have several things to say, say it all in one post. Don't be spamming up the thread with all your one sentence posts.

thats not 100% true not all towers have ehrpd capability some still are just evdo

Sorry iphone just say 1x not sure how to see if it is eHRPD

sensorly will tell you when you do a speed test.. idk the app store good enough on iPhones to tell you how to know

But if u read what it means it switchs between 3G and 4g. eHRPD

ehrpd is a 3g tower that has the capability to run lte if you see ehrpd your getting 3g but most likely will get 4g

Could I have had eHRPD since it switches off between 3G and 4g while on 1x.

ehrpd and evdo is 3g 1xrtt is 1x and lte is 4g

I thought 1x was supposed to be really slow for roaming on data towers.

most of the time yes

Man i got a rare speed on 3G. I got 2.01 Mbps and i thought wtf so i checked sprints 3G peak spec and they said 3G peaks at 3.1 Mbps. I still thought wtf but nice.

highest ive got is 2.5.. didnt last long though haha but was nice to have

I still don't have 4g but at least i know 3G has been upgraded already since I have better speeds now.

yea which means you have 4g soon enough

I got 104 on ping rate with 1.38 Mbps not bad at all or is it lol.

thats good for sprint 3g.. it would be bad for 4g

Well I guess it seems to be going from Oxnard all the way up to San Luis obispo so down to up from 4g.

I doubt that because I dont get it in ventura and im not to far away from that tower

Well its the first time this particular tower has been lit up, I haven't seen it anywhere else nearby yet, but maybe I'm not in the right areas. I spend days here and lunches usually out and about on main street from telephone down to the fairgrounds. I live at Johnson and telephone is wood bridge and even though I've seen some mapped on sensorly on Johnson I've never successfully picked it up. That being said the LTE I had picked up about 10:30 am is now gone and I'm back to 3G. I don't know for sure but I always thought this particular tower was on palma next door to UPS, but I don't know that for sure...

I mapped the 4g on johnson I live right there ive picked it up a few times but it doesnt successfully give me data, and I think mid town will be next.. I dont think east side will get it unfortunately till next year

First taste of 4G for Ventura today, it lit up on my phone about ten mins ago. I'm at the corner of market and telephone road.

its been in that area it needs to come to east side though

Absolutely correct. I've had an evo, and an evo 3d and there was no wimax in Oxnard or Ventura except that one site off vineyard, where conveniently no one lives or travels...

thats exactly what I had I miss my evo very happy with my s4 tho and getting lte

Theres been a decent amount of wimax coverage in the oxnard ventura area for a while now. It never expanded because this area was being launched right as clearwire ran out of money.

wi max was horrible as far as ventura county goes we only got it in a tiny area in el rio
