  1. LTE live, consistent, and working for me in 23507 for Nexus 5. Speeds reasonable-- seems about the same as when I had LTE working on my HTC One with various radios, but right now I can hold steady LTE signal in my kitchen/basement, when before with HTC One I never, ever had one. See screencaps. WiFi turned off. - 12:12 is when I woke up, turned on SignalCheck Pro when streaming music. From middle of house. - 12:53 are speedtests from middle of house. (I took it after all speedtests, see below). - 12:56 is from kitchen/basement. Never lost lock. - 12:58 is from outside of house, some trees/houses but otherwise clear skies. - 13:01 are speedtests (I remembered to scroll up to screencap earlier tests). So anyway, seems to be working. YMMV. As above, LTE would work in other cities/areas around Hampton Roads. Running rooted, stock 4.4.2, on Nexus 5. I have all 3 bands enabled, priority from *#*#3282#*#* is: Band 25 1 Band 26 3 Band 41 2. Hope this is worth some information to you folks. s4gru.com rocks! (Sorry it took so long to post and if the images are too big. I have no upload space for attachments here on s4gru, then read that imgur links work, then found the originals were way too big for the post, so I had to shrink them.)
  2. Just updating: been running Signal Check Pro app, and it recently went from consistent ePHRD to consistent EV-DO, with very brief moments of LTE signal pickup (I'm talking it'll blip and sound a tone I've set, then go back to EV-DO/3G). This is in 23507. LTE lock is consistent in surrounding Hampton Roads when I travel about. I have all 3 bands enabled, priority from *#*#3282#*#* is: Band 25 1 Band 26 3 Band 41 2. Preferred network type is LTE (Recommended). Again, don't know if this means anything.
  3. For kicks, I called *2, stating I wasn't getting LTE/4G in my home area, but was getting it in other cities around Hampton Roads with my Nexus 5. She said that towers are being worked on in Norfolk, some for maintenance/dropped calls/data which she explained is a catch-all for everything. She also said "here's a little inside information," and specifically mentioned the Spark network, changing from NV, and that one of the towers is marked as having this kind of upgrade complete by January 23, but that it may take up to a week before the upgrade/software/etc. is tweaked and fully functional. She stated Hampton is definitely on the shortlist for Spark upgrades. Pretty friendly representative. I'm not entire convinced this is all true, based on Sprint customer support experience, but may offer some hope.
  4. Yep, saw it. Incidentally, I was around the 23707 zip code, and LTE was working fine-- stayed active. Speeds weren't great, but at least it kept a lock. Made a call and received a call, and it quickly would shut LTE off (presumably because it has to for this phone or something like that I read somewhere), but LTE popped back up very quickly. It was seamless. On return home, though, no LTE, stayed in 3G. So maybe there's some hope after all.
  5. I got a Nexus 5 the other day, and no LTE (of course). Went through the whole rigamarole with *2 and dialer codes, even went through and Enabled the other bands and set priority from 0 to 1 for them. LTE would flash for a moment at times, but quickly go back to 3G. I spoke with a lady at *2, who said that 4 towers were being worked on in the Norfolk region. She didn't say what kind of work was being done, but did say that the scheduled/predicted day of completion of work was January 23. She gave the caveat that the work could be done before or after that date, and that was just a scheduled completion date. Just as a note, I went from an HTC One, which had LTE working just fine on the very same day I activated the Nexus 5. PRL on Nexus 5 is 55017, running 4.4.2 (though I don't think this has any bearing on anything). So MAYBE LTE will work for triband phones by Jan 23? Or at least for band 25?
  6. Heck, I've been driving/biking/walking around with it running just to expand LTE map boundaries and fill in the gaps! Gets me out and about to see the area more, and kind of fun to see the coverage map fill up with purple!
  7. Starting to see 4g blips pop up on Sensorly in Hampton Roads, VA region. See the Norfolk thread in the Markets sub-forum for some test results.
  8. 4g in Ghent, Norfolk around 4pm. See attached! Sensorly data uploaded. Edit: more 4g on Sensorly, added another screenshot with speeds.
  9. Slowly more 4g dots are appearing on Sensorly's map. Now a blip near Deep Creek and Chesapeake. http://www.sensorly.com/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint
  10. Confirmed. Around 11pm to Midnight, 4g signal. Fast. I tried running Sensorly in trip mode, but battery limit was reached. Still got some info through active scan, but don't have a screencap of that. Area of 4G coverage seems to be on Granby between the Zoo and Wards Corner approximately. Speeds were fast. First screenshot is from a friend's SIII, mine is Galaxy Nexus. Signal dropped to 3g as I was driving around running speed tests, but the 4g icon lit up! Edit: in Sensorly, signal as anywhere from -105dbm to -85. All the speedtest results in the screencaps were at -105.
