    It probably won't be long though with how far along they are in the DC metro area.

    D.C. has not yet launched. It's not on the Sprint maps yet and if it were launched, LTE would show on the Sprint map. Sent from my Galaxy Note 8.0

    This might explain why there's been no 800 (1x or LTE) on the existing tower. I'm guessing they just did a GMO build on it until they got permission to build the new monopole. This is in my county so I'll try to keep an eye on it and post back when it's done. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    I was thinking the same thing. He may have had line of site with a very distant Shentel tower when he crossed Afton Mtn. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Unfortunately, no band 41 around me to test. I only have 25 and 26 here so far. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    It appears as though running the Refresh Customization app that Samsung released for the S4T has solved the 3100 error (at least on my phone). Here's the link to the app for those who haven't seen it yet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.refreshDevice&hl=en I have to give credit to cooljb for posting the info in the S4T section. I ran both option 1 & 2 so I'm not sure which one fixed the issue but the provider information is now being reported. Mike, I just sent you a diagnostic report to confirm.

    I just picked up B26 from a tower that didn't even have 1x800 a couple weeks ago in the Quicksburg / New Market area. Keep the upgrades coming. :-) Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    If you have any voice coverage from Sprint, it won't let you roam on Verizon. I'm in an area this week that has zero Sprint coverage. The closest Sprint tower is 40+ miles away. The only coverage here is Verizon and US Cellular. If Verizon coverage is so much better in your area, it may be worth it to switch or maybe look into getting a Verizon home phone connect. It's $20 a month for unlimited calls. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Yes, Roaming on Verizon. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Finally, someone who knew how to fix my phone problems. I now have roaming coverage where I'm at this week. My wifi calling still isn't working but I'm on a super slow dsl connection (read: barely above dial- up speeds) so that may be the problem. I'll try that again when I get back home.

    On my wife's phone (an original S4) the roaming settings are under "more networks" but it's not even an option on my S4T. I'm beginning to think when my phone updated with the wifi calling update, it completely screwed stuff up. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    I'm going to keep looking but how do you get to that screen? I thought it was under settings, more networks, mobile networks, but I don't see it. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Does anyone know where the roaming settings are on this phone? I'm in a Verizon only area but it won't pick it up as a roaming signal. I have my network set to "automatic" but I can't find any settings specifically for roaming. Any help would be appreciated. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    It will still show as Sprint on your phone in the Shentel market. There's another thread on this site for that market too. It begins just south of Harrisonburg on I-81 and goes into the Harrisburg PA area. It covers a fairly sizable area. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    You are/were in the Shentel market there. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Add Woodstock to the list. I'm picking it up at my house in town now. Most of Shenandoah County is now covered in B26. Strasburg, Toms Brook, Maurertown, Woodstock, and Edinburg are all covered. I did also pick it up near the Forestville area but it was only briefly. I don't travel through the south end of the county as much as the north end but when I do, I'll post back. I also picked it up in Middletown and Stephens City earlier this week in Frederick County. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    I must have missed that post. I guess Shentel is using them to fill in dead spots. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    It had to be from there. I had around -45 signal on both 1x and 3G. The closest tower is on the other side of a hill about a mile away. People used to drop calls there a lot so I'm sure that's why it's there. I just have never seen anything like that before. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Finally found what referenced in my previous post. Has anyone ever seen one of these? As I said above, it's broadcasting 1x1900 and ehrpd 3G. I found it on Rt 11 (Main St) in Toms Brook, VA on top of a power pole. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Has anyone seen any small cells deployed in the Shentel area? I believe I may have found an area where one is, but it's a little different than I expected. As I was driving through an area with traditionally low signal, I noticed a couple days ago that I had a really strong 1x1900 signal and equally strong ehrpd signal. Last night, as I was driving through the same area, I had a roughly -95 1x800 signal but a -45 ehrpd signal. I then transitioned back to weak LTE signal a few seconds after I noticed it. If this is a small cell, it is apparently only broadcasting a non-LTE PCS only signal. Just wondering if I stumbled upon something unique or if there may be others out there. I didn't have time to try to locate where it was coming from but I was passing a Shentel switching station for their landline telephone service and I'm suspecting it was coming from there. I'll try to look for the antenna if I get some time this week. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Just connected to B26 in Strasburg VA. At -85, 14Mb down and 7Mb up. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the reply. Good info. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Most everything I know comes from this site but my understanding is that B26 and B25 are broadcast from the same antennas. The only band that doesn't come through the NV antennas is B41, which needs separate antennas. So, if the B25 downtilt has already been adjusted, I don't think a 2nd adjustment would be needed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Wifi calling

    No, never had it working. I've seriously tried everything and can't get past the same screen every time. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk
