turns out the update was pulled again
-
anyone know how long for the update to roll out to all phones?
-
There is still a ton of Clear Equipment in Manhattan. I was hoping those would be the first to get Massive MIMO. The location of Clear equipment is from the WiMax days and they most likely targeted higher usage areas with WiMax first. So thats my thought behind that. My entire walk from 33rd st and 7th Ave to 33rd and Park Ave I never see Sprint B41 only Clear.

sucks there is no way to root the gs9 for network signal guru
-
I've also noticed that. But I also have this issue where the debug screen wont stay scrolled down even if u hold it. It just bounces to the top and I can't see modulation anymore
-
forgot to include the link lol
-
I found this but doesn't confirm if its a DAS or not. Just that LTE is live in that section. AS far as them trying to negotiate to get LTE live every where in the station it still hasn't happened. But its still only been 11 months since Craig-s said that and he mention it taking a year.
-
Its an underground train station that opened around June 2017. I guess it could be a MM or SC but in all my experiences DAS systems show up as MM on SCP. That how it is in JFK and LGA airport. edit: its the west end concourse of penn station.
-
I'll have to check. My track got called right after that speed test so I didn't have time to test. Since its only 2xCA with 64QAM I almost hit max speed. which I think is around 238Mbps if I remember correctly
-
The DAS in the new section of Penn Station this was at 4:30 on Friday. wasn't crazy packed but still crowded. Really wish the rest of the station didn't have only 3G
-
Interesting this site has been here since summer of 2016 when they first started to bring the old clear small cells online. Noticed this change maybe 1 to 2 months ago.
-
Noticed recently that the MM on a light post near me doesn't display as B41 MM anymore on SCP. According to the debug menu on my phone it isn't allowing CA or might only have 1 carrier now. This site used to have 2 carriers and they would do CA. Were GCIs changed that is effecting SCP?
-
Apparently there are Massive MIMO sites in NYC. Does anyone know if there is a way to look up NYC permits to possible track down where this site might be?
-
I've only spotted one strand mount cell. It has LTE UE relay for backhaul. Was hoping they were going to utilize Altice for backhaul but this is a good start. I hope to find more of these soon. Wish I had a source for locations. I would love to map these.
-
I've seen a lot of work done in Nassau county and it seems like a lot of work has been done in jersey with GMOs and adding B41 either full builds or MM. I was expecting improvement on the results but knew they weren't going to be taking first place. Hopefully 2nd half 2018 is a lot better with more B41 being deployed and the 2nd carrier of B25 being 10x10 on every site. Once that done they can do CA on B25 again. It annoying how they can do CA on 2 5x5 B25 Carriers but can't do 10x10 + 5x5 CA
-
Not sure if anyone saw this yet. While Sprint didn't really move a head of the competition they did improve in all the categories besides overall performance. Not sure how that works since Overall should be based on the other 5 categories. https://www.rootmetrics.com/en-US/rootscore/map/metro/new-york-city-and-tri-state-area/2018/1H

I think its time for you to tweet at John Saw again

http://newsroom.sprint.com/sprint-announces-new-york-city-phoenix-and-kansas-city-among-first-to-experience-sprint-5g.htm 4x4 mimo enabled on all Sprint B41 8t8r site plus Massive MIMO replacing all Clear B41 site would put Sprint a head of the competition in NYC
-
I have a few sites that I can get close so SNR should be good. But from my understanding it SNR can be degraded due to congestion. I'll have to check for 256QAM. The engineering screen on the GS9 displays QAM numbers at the bottom i was assuming those were accurate. But it doesn't seem to show MIMO. I would root my GS9 and do network Guru but I can't seem to find directions to root the US version of the GS9
-
Has anyone personally spotted 4x4 MIMO or 256QAM in NYC yet? This is one area where Sprint is falling behind. Correct me if I'm wrong but the 8t8r B41 sites can do both 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM via software update? Sprint has been talking about massive MIMO but have yet to even go from 2x2 to 4x4 which would double the speed of B41
-
Got the GS9 on Monday last week. Its my first Samsung phone and I'm not a fan of the launcher at all. I didn't mind the launcher on the LG g4 or v20. Also Samsung has so many apps that are the same as the google equivalent, a lot more than LG had. I've downloaded all the google apps, hidden the Samsung apps and changed the launcher and I love this Phone. The RF performance is amazing compared to every phone I've had and the last phone was the Essential PH-1 so its a huge difference. Can't wait for 4x4MIMO and 256QAM to go live on B41. In NYC sprint could really use this since all the other carriers have started using LAA and can achieve speeds over 500MBPS

Sometimes i forget that you're over there too
-
A lot has been happening in Long Island recently, Ive been talking about it over in the premier sections. But I wanted to share here that I believe I found my first Small Cell in the market that isn't a Mini Macro. I wasn't able to try and locate it while driving. The only other time Ive seen this is recently in Chicago where I actually saw the small cells on light posts. This screen shot is from this location @lilotimz any chance you have any sources?
-
Just ordered it. Unfortunately I wont have it for my Chicago trip. Thanks for the help. How do you find Calling Plus to be in NYC? With my essential phone I drop to 3G quite often.

With my LG V20 trade in it comes out to 419.99 / 17.50 a month for 2 years. I think thats an amazing deal since I my V20 wouldn't sell for 300 on swappa
