So I have experienced B26 for the first time in my life as of like 2 days ago because I am staying at my aunts house in Houston for a thanksgiving family reunion . What I've noticed is that B26 dies when EVDO is still at -98 or so dBm (my aunts house I either get -114 to -118 B26 or EVDO). Is this B26's full potential ot is it just not optimized? I've seen videos of B26 eclipsing the range of EVDO by a lot (
) but my experience just hasn't patched up...Shats going on here?
The little LTE thing icon appears at the top every few minutes for a few seconds so I sat with the field test number dialed into phone and clicked it as soon as I saw it. I was able to pull up a field test and see the stuff under Serving Cell Info before my phone dropped back to 1x.
I have a sprint iPhone 6S and I've noticed that my phone attempts to connect to LTE band 13 with an EARFCN of 5230 when I'm roaming. It does this every few minutes or so for a second or two and then drops back to 1x. Isn't B13 Verizon? Why would my phone be doing this?
Yea I don't understand and it's super annoying. Two of the places I spend most of my time have no service and I rly wish I could send SMS. Does sprint even know about this issue?
Question out of curiously - why hasn't sprint implemented SMS over wifi, only calling over wifi. As I understand it, they already have IMSs set up for SMS over LTE, so why can't those be used while on wifi?
Sprint does have SMR in Alaska:
