    Ah so its the cabinet then? Now I feel so dumb... We use similar cabinets like this where I work for our fiber optics... So i totally should of caught onto that. Epic Fail on my part

    Hey guys so today i ventured to an LTE site I had yet to venture to due to its location and saw the paperwork that was at that site attached to the fence in a plastic ziplock baggie. So i noticed on the front page it said "SPRINT NETWORK VISION MMBS LAUNCH" so what exactly is MMBS? I noticed that this site was only a B25 site with sub par speeds, and of note this site was also in the middle of nowhere, very minimal amount of people there in that area. The site ID is SE54XC084 if anyone was interested. And at the site there were 2 cabinets, with 3 more base mount slots for 3 more cabinets if that helps. I noticed the last person who had been there was the inspector for some work they had done previously. The date was 7/23/2014. so very recent. Ill upload a picture of something else I am curious about in a little bit that i noticed at the site. Thanks in advance.

    does that good of signal truly give you that much more radiation? lol. do you really start glowing? better keep the phone away from certain places on the body

    I think they all need the sim installed in order to do the initial setup? Or at least they always put the sim card in first before they do anything else with the phone when I have had all of mine activated at the store. Well thats my experiences at least.
  6. darickster09
    hmm. Well I can say that in the past i got curious and took my sim card out of the iPhone 5 I had just for S&G's because i was curious as to why there was a sim card slot in the first place, and it still connected to the network? Also I was not implying that he try and trick the network into thinking that his IPad was his IPhone and have unlimited data on the IPad. The only network that this is really possible on like i said is TMobile. I know that AT&T will swap you over to the appropriate plan the second you switch the sim card to the tablet. I have witnessed that on a buddies IPAD. But again I am not encouraging anyone to swap out sim cards for the purpose of avoiding the data caps and such.

    i didnt know it could run out? Have you tried going to the location where you suspect the tower is and seeing if your still connected to the same one with a much higher level of signal?

    I would recommend becoming a sponsor and then you get access to all the maps and really cool stuff then you can see exactly whats going on, well at least see a bit more of whats going on. There are all sorts of maps you can spend hours prying around on once you are a sponsor/premier sponsor. Just a suggestion. Oh and by the way if you buy an app called SignalCheck Pro it will pretty much tell you where your towers are located, well 3G towers at least... Not quite sure how the LTE end of it works, but it allows you to put notes on there and such so you could either walk around/drive around figure it out which tower it is. Again just some suggestions that may help.

    Also as far as i know sprint sim cards dont do anything really, they are just there to fill the void and hold the spot for international carriers. But maybe you should try doing a little google research if you want to know more about sim card swapping. Now if it were a T-Mobile version and you were swapping out a T-Mobile sim from a T-mobile unlimited to a T-Mobile iPad it would work. Someone tested this on another forum. But kojitsari is right it is a banned topic...

    well its up to you since its your phone. lol. I would just disable 41 until they get it up to speed. on a clear 41 near me I get great speeds when I'm within 1 mile of the tower (clear line of sight). But like i said when i drift away and its not clear line of sight then it slows down drastically. The max i got on a clear b41 was 65 down and about 14.53 up. give or take. So hopefully this b41 tower i discovered recently becomes up and ruining in the near future then i shall test that theory.
  11. darickster09
    so does that mean speeds are more consistent on B25 for you? if so then i would say disable b41 until they get it all together in your area.

    I have horrible experience with using 1x only mode on my galaxy s5... but maybe thats because there are no 1x800 sites up here yet, well less than i have fingers at least in washington. lol. could be like robert said and voice is taking priority for my case here in washington. But who knows. If it works for you all the power to you!
  13. darickster09
    have you tried disabling B41 on your phone to see how speeds are on B25/26?
  14. darickster09
    I can definitely attest to this. When I was -85 to -110 i got between 55 (-85) to worst 22 (-110) but when i got less than that my speeds were even worse, down to at worst 5 down and 1.5 up, best i got when i was around -119 on clear b41 was about 10 down and 2.5 up. give or take a bit. That was my issue with B41 once i got that far away from the signal.

    You can checkout my pics in dropbox if you are curious as to the results of how good the pics came out https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3qahoypk38gmkw7/AADnB_Tflek2WInJ22fN60boa

    so perhaps a stupid question, but as i seen from the map samsung is the northwest antennas, but i have seen a few that look like these ericson models? Do other carriers have deals with ericson up here in the northwest? or do they tend to stay in the same territory for each carrier? like does verizon use samsung/ericson/altel lucent as well? or do they have their own manufacturer?

    So I did actually go out and buy the wifi edition of the camera. And i must say I'm quite impressed. I went around and checked out the local cell towers that I could not get a good visual on with my binoculars or my cell phone (x4 zoom). I am very impressed by the 21x zoom! took some very detailed pictures. I could nearly read the writing on the bottom of the LTE band 25 antennas. I can't make it out, but i could nearly read it. so i am very happy about that. and its quite fast as well
  18. darickster09
    I know I know. But I love the zoom and large display screen! Lol

    Greetings everyone. I am just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these 2 devices? I know that they are not a sprint device. But they do have the ability to connect to mobile. Anyone have any pros and cons behind them? Any help would be appreciated. I like the idea of a x21 zoom with a 16 mp camera and a 4.8 inch touchscreen that is android os. Thanks in advance. Kevin

    Oh and im still constantly dropping out data. This time it was completely lost 3g disappeared from top of screen for about 10 seconds. Guess ill switch to different mode. Im assuming its also because its looking for LTE but not finding it...
  21. darickster09
    Oh and by the way I forgot to mention I kep swapping IP addresses from 51.x.x.x series to 29.x.x.x or 31.x.x.x series. Not sure if that means anything. I know when I was on EVDO I always got 31.x.x.x but I have been on eHRPD this whole time and my ip has swapped 5 times in the last half hour...
  22. darickster09
    NOW I WANT AN ENCHILADA! LOL.
  23. darickster09
    So I completely reset my network setting at 3pm today took a nap then woke up at (5AM!!!) so thinking I was late for work I then jump outta bed only to realize it was much lighter than 5am should be. So then I look at the kitchen clock sure enough its only 7pm. So I then check the web only to discover a DNS error... I finally resolved the problem by calling sprint. They had me do a profile update and also turn phone off and on. So then I asked about LTE status while I was waiting the guy in tech support said according to his system upgrades are done and so was optimization. So I laugh and ask him to look at other systems like glance and the others they generally look at He said GLANCE is not used anymore. Is this true?
  24. darickster09
    ok that makes sense.
  25. darickster09
    ah i c. ok. yeah that seems like something I had read a while back about it. thanks for the info. So realistically it doesn't matter if I'm connected to EVDO or eHRPD? should be about the same experience?
