Someone run over to R & 15th and do prl update & airplane mode toggle then run sensorly. If it's not there then it's coming from west sacramento.

The GN2 and Galaxy S4 are pure RF beasts and can pick up signals very quickly and hold onto them longer. Might be the reason why your GN2 is picking up LTE better than your HT Cone.

Phones have a set scan interval before it checks for a LTE connection that can range from 5 minutes to over 30 minutes. You have to either toggle airplane mode or do a manual PRL update in order to cycle the radio in the device so it'll scan for LTE.

Fun fun fun! Gotta get those $$$!

Think the answer has been found with the FCC files on the LG G2. Locky locky.

Woodland actually has confirmed (aka picture proof) Network Vision upgrades going on which is known to cause extreme issues with voice / data. Sorry to hear about your predicament though. And hopefully. My lines are also up in October (16th to be exact) and I'll be damn sure everyone is well informed of whats happening.

Quarter 1 to Q2 for 100% of all 550 sites converted including the hundred GMOs that are on top of mountains or in the middle of nowhere in the sierra nevadas. Complete coverage will be acquired far earlier than 2014 and most likely by the middle of fall 2013. Lots of physical tower work are being done throughout the entire market. The wait up for acceptances / integration is for Ericsson inspectors (not local people) to come through and check off the towers / integrate. I can see Sprint announcing that work has begun in the Sacramento & surrounding region in their July 30 Q2 report. P.S. You get pics of the east Davis tower yet?

Done.

Original network vision plans called for deployment to begin at the end of quarter 2 / early q3 as one of the early 4th round markets. It's scheduled to be mostly done by the end of 2013 with >90% completion somewhere in Q1-Q2 2014. Our market is far simpler than the other California markets and will be deployed much quicker. At least we don't have to do 100+ page application docs for building permits and zoning and backhaul is far easier to acquire.

You have several false premises in your post that I'll address... 1. Verizon is not exiting CDMA anytime soon. VoLTE is nowhere near ready for mass deployment as the technology, as deployed, suffers from the problem inherent with LTE in that the effective usable range of the signal is vastly inferior to existing 2G/3G voice implementations. Verizons cell sites are typically spaced for CDMA2000 1x on GSM 850 or 750. Abandoning CDMA 1x and going all out VoLTE effectively reduces their overall voice coverage which is something the FCC will never allow. 2. The buying power of Sprint is now #3 thanks to it's marriage into the Softbank portfolio. It will become the #3 in terms of purchasing power thanks to Softbank and Sprint ordering goods together. In addition, TD-LTE on band 41 (and its subsets) will be the main LTE international roaming band in the future, Softbank already operates a TD-LTE network in Japan. China Mobile and its competitors have massive TD-LTE networks in deployment on a subset of Band 41. This should drive up the demand for TD-LTE capable chipsets where it will be much cheaper than ever before for Sprint to purchase devices. 3. T-mobile suffers the same thing that Sprint sufers in the suburban / exurban areas. Lack of backhaul. ATT is the local ilec in the Sacramento region and is in no rush to provide fiber or microwave backhaul to T-mobile or Sprint especially in rural areas. Furthermore, T-mobile will not touch non HSPA+ areas until at least the end of their deployment of AWS LTE over their existing foot print which will take them to at least 2014/2015 time frame. In that space of time, Sprint will have a vastly superior SMR 800 network which can broadcast farther and more effectively compared to AWS. 4. All carriers advocate for average speeds in the 4-12 mbps range. This is the speeds they expect under a fully loaded network. No carrier can guarantee 30+ mbps speeds ever. Just have to take a look at Verizon to verify that statement. What Sprint has though is the portfolio of Clearwire and it's vast BRS/EBS assets. Where T-mobile, ATT, or Verizon can deploy a single 10mhz or 20mhz carrier, Sprint can effectively do up to 4x 20mhz carriers (after they shut wimax down) each with theoretical maxes of ~90/~25. The game plan for next year is to carrier aggregate said 20mhz carriers into 20mhz+20mhz setups which would be nearly equal to a single 40mhz FDD carrier.

T-mobile is deploying Ericsson RRU04's,RRU11's, and RRU12s which are the same RRUs as Sprint / Tmobile / ATT with their old antennas.

Tmobile Nokia Siemens Network gear.

Funny thing is...

Modesto and stanislaus county is well underway.

No matter what you do, do not run sensory. You'll pollute the sensory map with strong signals in areas that are weak. Sent from my SPH-D710

Get a better (closer) photo.

Clearwire / Sprint is jumping straight to carrier aggregated 20+20mhz pipes which is one of the key elements of LTE-Advance. So in a way, yes. But the issue is there's no device out there that can do carrier aggregation, yet. Not until the S800 series of chipsets come online at least...

Not with the old Clearwire gear. Those are single mode Wimax only. This is the specifications for the Samsung TD-LTE / Wimax RRU they're deploying,

Samsung BRS/EBS are dual mode TD-LTE / Wimax capable and can support 80mhz of spectrum. Park wimax on a tiny slice of EBS and use 20-40mhz for TD-LTE.

Yep. Just swap old RRUs for new Robert, can you figure out what channel bandwith they're running? I'm nearly certain that they're running 20mhz.

Band 41 = 2.5ghz - 2.6ghz

Yes. I got it set for alarm and day / night cycles (mobile connection, cpu speeds, radio activity, etc) and a few other misc stuff.
