Digiblur has never heard Gangnam Style.

LTE must be coming.

 

 

Good point, forgot to mention that. I did confirm this via the field test menus. On that note, the code to get to field test in iOS is ridiculously long.

Not hard for me. *3001#12345#*...

I found this very interesting:

Hopefully they'll stop once Network Vision is complete. People will notice the 3G in conjunction to the 15kbps speeds and run off screaming "Sprint sucks!!!"

Ah, yes, just as predicted, AT&T is at it again...

That commercial has been airing for a while now. Always during the NFL games too.

The coverage maps here in Baltimore are really really exaggerated. Sprint coverage maps show LTE in almost 2/3s of the market. In reality, it's about half that.

 

 

 

Man that's great.. here in miami fl we only get 0.4 Mbps the highest I've gotten. ...

It's coming! Network Vision is coming!

Nexus 4 has a seven band LTE chip.

LTE must be coming...

Hostess went bankrupt,

 

LTE must be coming

I'm hoarding Twinkles.

LTE must be coming.

I have to say all I need is data..They can keep the voice..

Same here.

If it is on Sensorly, it is confirmed. Probably 90% of all Sprint LTE Sensorly tracks come from S4GRU members.

We need the other 10% here in Baltimore. No Sensorly updates for more then 3 weeks now!

I would do it myself, but I can't. First World Problems.

Why?

I came here to say this, only to see you had beat me by 7 minutes.

The round table format ate hairy spiders when drunk. Its towers became bloated after swallowing a mouthful of baby formula. The baby ate his poisoned barbeque chicken ribs without A1 steak sauce. Fix the chair leg before somebody trips and breaks their sister's glass. It peed shards of LTE droppings from bubbly fermented apples. Doctors gouge the helpless when options appear dangerously silly for perpendicular slicing. Around 2pm there was another explosive diarrhea attack that drove Dan to SMS SoftBank, which viciously countered MetroPCS's audacity to compete. Meanwhile, Mexicans discovered sparkly water of Rio which tasted like rainbows.

To be clear, EV-DO and eHRPD are the very same airlink. They differ only on the backend. Along those lines, EV-DO IP address ranges tend to be different from LTE/eHRPD IP address ranges. So, that may be one way to tell the difference on a handset that does not report eHRPD.

Tested this out. There is no "CDMA only" for iPhone 5, so I just checked my IP via Google with LTE on and off.

When LTE was on, I got 66.87.83.30.

When I turned it off, I got 66.87.83.10.

Maybe the iPhone 5 connects solely to eHRPD regardless of LTE switch status? I know I'm on eHRPD because I'm in an active deployment market with multiple LTE sites within a mile of me.

Reason I ask is I'm trying to determine when I should start tryingto test sites in the area for a connection

You won't notice any interruption in service until they switch over to the NV equipment for testing. You may experience a loss of signal for 3-4 minutes. Just remember that they might complete 3G before LTE.

Not bad ... How much would they sell the iPhone 4S for on Black Friday

Last year, everything was around 10% off. I have a feeling the iPad Mini will be reduced to a flat $300, and the 4S will go to $80ish.

On top of bad VQ and disappointing "4G" speeds is the lack of a consistent, strong signal with twice as many towers as Verizon who has better coverage with fewer towers across the suburbs. AT&T has by far the worst coverage in the Chicago suburbs out of the big 4.

Coverage isn't a problem on any carriers (except T-Mobile) here in Baltimore. It's the quality of the coverage that matters here. Where TMo has coverage, it's pretty good, at least data wise. Voice isn't good, but that's expected of any GSM carrier. AT&T voice isn't great either, but they also have consistency problems for data. I would be getting 3mbps down one day, and .5mbps the next. Sprint, well you all know. Great voice, horrible data. Getting better now though. A lot better.

 

 

Those CDMA1X RSSI figures are relatively similar. But I doubt that the iPhone is using RSSI to drive the signal bars. Rather, it is probably using Ec/Io. And due to loading, Ec/Io can vary considerably with the same RSSI.

 

AJ

Ah. So the signal strength isn't always exactly accurate? Like when there are a lot of people on the tower?

What I don't understand is the iPhone's choice of how many bars to display. For example, a -88dBm signal is considered a 4 bar (very good) signal. But a -92dBm is considered a 1 bar (horrible) signal. But that's only when I'm using 1X or EVDO. The LTE signal strength bars are usually spot on. Right now I have a -101dBm signal and its considering it as a 1 bar. That's odd too, considering I had a -79dBm signal 2 minutes ago. And I haven't moved the phone. I'm not even holding it. Just tapping on it as its propped up on my computer monitor.

If I get eHRPD will it show up on the field test screen on the iPhone 5?

Apparently, the iPhone 5 has no screen to show network type. The only way to get any network information is the Field Test screen, and that doesn't show eHRPD.

 

Bad reception or not, At&t with T-Mobile combined would have over twice the amount of customers, twice the revenue. This would make it much cheaper for at&t to upgrade its network and get more device selection that it can buy in bulk. Customers must not care much about gsm voice quality, if there's that many on the gsm network.

Nobody cares about the voice quality anymore. It's a about the data. Which isn't very good on AT&T... Averaging 2Mbps down on HSPA+ isn't my idea of "4G". I'd prefer my 2Mbps speeds on a carrier who cares about its network and customers.

It may just be coincidence but I seem to have similar issues when trying to stream slingbox. I'll have a strong LTE signal and as soon as I open slingplayer to connect to slingbox, I get kicked back down to 3G. I know I'm probably crazy but it just seems that as soon as i try to run any data intensive programs on LTE, I get kicked back down to 3G.

Did you have a good signal? My iPhone will connect to a horrible (-120dBm, 0 bars) signal when I'm on WiFi/not using my phone, and when I attempt to use it, it will immediately disconnect.

Anyone see this?

It's on the front page.
