Coming down the hill on OH 177 into Hamilton has always dropped my call or data session.

Liberty, IN tower and Oxford, OH Morning Sun Rd tower have both been upgraded to 4G, still no handoff.
Though, coverage along OH-177 between SR-73 and IN-227 has improved significantly. Still dropping in Fairhaven valley.
Calls on the outskirts of Oxford are garbled a bit, but not dropping. I hear this is an artifact caused by the mixmash of old 3G and new 4G upgraded towers.

Anyone else still experiencing dropped call hand-offs between OH and IN towers that have been upgraded to 4G?

dayton has LTE
I think he was referring to the fact that the Sprint maps have been updated to reflect the fact that 4G is now available ...

Here in Oxford, the tower N of town is operating on the "Second 800 MHZ" band class. Calls over it are sounding of lower quality (more digital/compressed/lower bandwidth) than the 1900 band. Anyone else notice the lower quality voice?

New user to the forums. Greetings to my fellow SW Ohioans (and SE Indianians)! I have a Moto X from Republic Wireless (an MVNO powered by Sprint).
Tower update:
Oxford (North) tower's 4G now since sometime between Feb 1-7. Towers in Gratis and East Oxford are not pushing 4G yet. I'm also noticing that all along I-70 from Eaton to Dayton I got 4G service. That includes Centerville/Miamisburg, OH. Can't wait for Richmond to come online.
Thanks to your reports, I will be installing Sensorly and Signal Check Pro onto my phone.
A few questions:
- I noticed that an active 4G connection can switch down to 3G, but not from 3G to 4G. So if you are streaming a radio show and you get bumped to 3G, the connection will remain 3G until you quit using bandwidth. Is this by design?
- Is there a way to tell whether a particular site will be going 800MHz (full Vision)?
- Is there any way to tell whether an iDEN site that has never broadcasted a CDMA signal will be upgraded?
- During the past couple months, has anyone noticed problems with 3G going in and out (making data usage nearly impossible for hours at a time)? I had this problem just after Christmas and it seemed to be particular to certain areas of service.

The tower south of Liberty, IN on US27 has been broadcasting 800 & LTE for awhile now, but still not handing off calls to/from the Oxford area, which is now all 800/LTE as well. That stinks! But I am glad to have better coverage (at least) on the commute. If they could just get the handoffs to go, there'd be no problems at all...
