Most of Waikiki has LTE coverage now. There are a couple of dead spots that I need to call Sprint about. At Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center near the intersection of Don Ho Lane and Royal Hawaiian Ave, I haven't been able to get service of any kind. The phone shows a full LTE signal, but text messages won't send and calls won't go through. There are a couple of other places that do that as well, but that's the only one in Waikiki.

I drove my cab all night Friday and Saturday, got a lot of mapping done. As you can see, most of Waikiki had no LTE. The parts that are on sensorly were very inconsistent. Sometimes it would come on by itself, sometimes only when I reset the antenna, other times not at all in the same place the map shows someone else got coverage. I had nothing at all on the Ala Moana side of Waikiki. Fortunately though, Kapiolani from Kalakaua all the way down had solid coverage the whole time. Pretty much all of Kaka'ako comes in strong. From the rate of progress, I'm guessing this implementation will be done by the end of the year.

I'll be driving the taxi all night tonight. Anything near Waikiki will be thoroughly mapped. I should be all over the rest of town too.

Cocaine, apparently. Wall Street->Cocaine->Insane Business Decisions->Nobody's making any money->Reduced tax revenue->Government work backlog

Honestly, something like that would be incredibly likely if they close the Dreamworks deal. It's a weird, 21-st century version of vertical integration.

I've been mapping as I drive my taxi. I've been getting LTE signals consistently in Kaneohe and right around my house in Alewa. Last night, I also got a signal on H-1 by Punchbowl. that totally surprised me. I have no idea what tower that would be.

Phone had 1% battery so I couldn't map with Sensorly, but I had LTE at the Salt Lake Safeway, all the way to Nimitz, then got on the Airport Tower.

I was at the airport dropping off taxi passengers Wednesday morning, got no LTE at all.

I was at the airport Sunday night and got a good signal over most of the area shown on sensorly's map. Also I got a solid signal from the H3 tunnel all the way to MCBH and added a bit to the map there. When I left the base, I went out the back gate through Aikahi to Kailua and to the Pali. I didn't get any signal anywhere in Kailua.

No. I never thought I'd be happy to have the less capable version of a device.

I took some guys to Pearl Harbor in my cab last night and drove around by the airport a little bit on the way back to Waikiki. I drove up and down Lagoon Dr. and the other parallel streets to map the area with Sensorly. I have an S4 and I had no problem at all getting the LTE signal.

I've been following this thread for more than six months. The day before yesterday I was shocked to see that my sensorly app indicated I had spent a tiny sliver of my time on a 4G connection. I was really happy to see that I was one of the users to map the towers along H-1 by the Pearl Harbor NEX. When I saw the map with coverage in Kailua and Kaneohe, I was totally blown away; I think it's finally happening after all these years. I'm a cab driver, so as soon as a tower goes live in Waikiki, it will be extremely well mapped. It probably would be by all the visitors running sensorly anyway, but I'm all over the island, so I'll contribute a lot of data. I go pretty much anywhere on town side and I'm out to Kailua a few times a week.
