I'm going to say it depends on if backhaul is in place and if there isnt anything else they need to do. If everything complete then it should be inspected soon and accepted if everything is good to Samsung and Ericsson then it should be live give it a week or so I'd say. we know work is going on, but they may wait til more towers are completed. if anyone else can chime in please do.

Antennas are put up today on Sylvania and silica. Cabinets were installed on the 30th of last month

about time those slackers got back to work lol....you thinking that more sites will be starting then, seems like this is good news for us

 

 

Also went by the water tower just a few mins ago..nothing new I can see yet

.. So did the base cabinets get dropped off or are there antennas up? I seen in other threads that antennas are up and no base cabinetsSent from S4GRU Mobile

not sure hadn't been by there yet and I'm in BG right now

Yes it was the tower on opportunity drive that ryan had found the electrical or wire boxes that go to the base cabinets I sent the pic to the in progress thread and Rickie marked it.

 

You have to zoom in order to see it

Yeah the Evo sucks at picking up the signal. Idk where in Toledo you live but Ryan found some work going on around opportunity drive tower. we also found some more towers in Michigan with the panels and rrus over the border on us 23 prob not in your area but it's close enough to atleast test it out.

I believe I saw new gear up the tower off Rauch road and 23.. that's between the boarder of Ohio and Dundee,MiSent from S4GRU Mobile

Good find Ryan I went up there took some pics, not the best but that is a sprint only site. I also checked the one on whiteford center road looks like there are panels up there to. I could get a pic of it cus there was an old man in is front yard and it's right behind there.

I've searched the forums a bit but was not able to find an answer to this..

 

A little backstory.. I was advised by a sprint rep to leave my S3's preferred network mode on LTE / CDMA so I can get an LTE signal once it's live in our area. Everything was working great until recently, I've been having random issues connecting to data. SMS, and calls were flawless. So I called up sprint and they did their refreshes and whatnot to no avail. Got to tier two and they recommended that I go to Settings > Wireless and networks > Network mode and turn the network mode to CDMA only.

 

The rep advised me that I'll still get LTE with this setting once it's live in my area. She also advised me that engineers will send out a SMS letting us know when LTE is live. Can anyone confirm these please? I'm stoked to get LTE and I don't want to miss the launch.

 

Based on the timing of the permits, I'm guessing (total stab in the dark here) the connection problems I've had recently could have something to do with tower upgrades around me, which makes me excited :clap:

you won't be able to get an LTE signal unless its on CDMA/LTE mode, you will only get 3G. For being live they will send a message when they are about to launch a market but will not inform you of when every tower is accepted and complete.The best place to look is the NV completed list here.. s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/517-nv-sites-complete/

... I'm sorry bro is dead in the water. I counted over 18 sites which I told you most of them personally , can tell you if I don't know

well guess its back to waiting game again...or sit off the road on telegraph and enjoy it in my car til the cops come

Has anyone seen any work being done at all trucks cranes anything at all?? That one ryan found has not been touched for two weeks now cabnets are in but other then that nothing....kinda of tease if you ask me, but hopefully somthing starts poping again in the next month or two...or sooner

...Every day. Base cabinets where dropped off on 4/30..install done 5/2...nothing after that. I'll check in am like I do every day... I'd still like to know where these guys are because I've checked around everywhere I don't see nothing. Maybe they're out in Delta.

Yeah i try to go by there as well as much as i can. I have a feeling that your right i think they may out toward the west or even maybe south of here like BG or somthing. I Wish i could see that tower that i thought was maybe the one in Metamora where i used to live but its in the junk jard next to some ones house. I know my Friends aunt lives there but idk how close they are or what the case may be. I May have to ask him tonight or when i see him this weekend about it.

Let you know, I checked Matziger rd..no new stuff...also summit street..negative..that's all near meijer.

Thanks, yeah its deff that site that i said before. Have you been by the Sylvania ave site at all latley?

That tower up between dixie highway and telegraph just up past Sterns road in Michigain was active a few days ago so that is most likley is coming from that and another one just north of that on Ottercreek road is also active. I went up ther a few days ago and mapped on it on sensolry but idk if its up yet. Our time will come very soon, if i were to guess on it id say end of May early june we will see accpeted sites coming along.

Looking at sensorly it looks more like the other tower between telegraph and dixie

ahhhh yeah there's a tower there to than Ya that's prob the one. Well find out soon it's do dang close to us. I'm just glad somthing is going on in the area. Went by the site that Ryan found today they look like they were installing equitment into the cabnets had a big u hual truck there. Just wish we knew where the other 6 crews are at.

I seen that too. It looks like the tower north of the line in Erie. I can't get up there until Friday night or Saturday.

edit: Sensorly has more data now. Somebody check the site out?

Either Matzinger rd, summit street, or right past the line in Michigan. Please report when you get back bro

I went up there it looks like it's the site up in Erie Luna Pier area over the line mapped some on sensorly as well

What is this I spy...looks like a tower maybe live in Michigan or Toledo about to go investagate now...likely up north of Toledo

Just wanna let you guys know, just got new cabinets dropped off in Toledo Ohio. The location is on Sylvania near king... I'm a happy camper

Ill drive by there and take pics later after im out of class tonight unless you are able to. I really hope this is the start!

I've been keeping my eye on the tower near Monroe/Secor... Still no changes :/ Makes me kind of regret switching from Straight Talk...

Thanks for the update, I have made a map of permits that have been pulled for our market. You must be a sponsor tho, but any donation that you make will help support the site. Work should be starting soon tho in our market. I'm currently in class so I don't have time to give you the sponsor info sorry but if you look around should be able to find it. Also welcome to s4gru.

There isn't even a date for Pittsburgh. If LTE construction has started, there must be a targeted completion date. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/ lists the markets and what round they are in for every major city in the US except Pittsburgh (and Denver). The % completion and estimated completion dates for the markets on this page are periodically updated. Pittsburgh is not even on the horizon!

That list is not a complete list of all markets eather as it says in small print above all the markets. Also Sprint will not always state that they are going to start a market. Prime example is Detroit, they are in active deployment, but they have not announced it. It's all just a marketing scheme. If I where you I'd be happy they have started there as some markets have not been heard of at all yet.Patience is virtue.

This is great news! But why wouldn't Sprint announce it? I'm sure people have left Sprint because of the absence of an LTE implementation schedule in Pittsburgh? I, for one, considered going back to Verizon in May when my contract is up because of it.

Because there is not enough coverage to cover the whole city and Sprint has just started work in the market so each week more and more sites will be coming online. If Sprint where to say Pittsburgh had LTE now people would complain that theres not enough coverage, so Sprint, once accepted will leave the site on for people to use it instead of waiting a couple of months to launch the whole market.

..... Because I'm in Toledo Ohio does that mean I am stuck with my Detroit code...4126 ?... Is I am more than 50 so miles from the Canadian border. Can I still get 800

There was a map somewhere on one of the topics that had the border zones...if I remember right we are in the zone where we will not get it til they come up with an agreement with Canada...tho maybe western city's may be able to get it..ill let AJ explain more if there's something I missed but that's my understanding

 

 

That second link doesn't work.

sorry about that I fixed the link in my post should work now

 

 

Bump... Anything?

Happy birthday Rob! Hope it's a great one and thanks for everything you do for us.

All this talk about cleveland, ohio what about Toledo??? I have been told by sprint employees that we should have it this summer yet I don't see in this list? One employee confirmed they had tested lte here in october.

i wouldn't trust those people, tho the summer part sounds about right with at least LTE somewhere in our market, I also have a map of permits in the sponsor section as well of our market.

Does anyone have any info on permits or actual work being done in the eastern suburbs?
