Does anybody else's phone say "APN list: Need to Fix" on eHRPD engineering screen?

I had to look up KFC Yum Center, it was new to me. I thought maybe it was a big research facility working on the elusive 12th herb and spice.

These are my seats for this season. One of the perks of being a student, cheap season tickets.

Here's one in downtown Louisville, KY:

 

I wonder if this is an inbuilding solution for sprint? It appears to be right on top of the KFC Yum Center. There are two other towers within about a 1/4 mile of this one. I noticed that I had better signal inside, about 4 bars or so, but data is still useless. During halftime I can't even open google.com. Last year I had either no signal or roaming inside the arena. Louisville's next game is Saturday, I'll look around a bit and see if i see anything.

Looks like eHRPD is going live. Had it in southwest Louisville and now Shepherdsville.

That Network Vision tower in Middletown is less than 3 miles from me. It's right across from a massive Wal-Mart. I'll grab some pictures of it when I go grocery shopping today and post it up later to see what you all can figure out. So it looks to be a new tower to Sprint customers but old to Att and T-mobile?

I have been to the site a couple of times already. I think that the NV equipment is on the very top. I found it hard to get good pictures because the time of day I went there were lots of cars and not many places to pull of that little road. I have pictures of far off, and right under it. Hope you have better luck. My pictures are posted in the interactive maps section under the thread for Nashville, West/East Kentucky.

I'm a college student about a year away from graduating with a Computer Information Systems degree. So all this watching and tracking NV progress has gotten me curious lately. What types of jobs are there related to cell service? In all likelihood this will not be the career path I take, but for curiosities sake I figured I'd look into it. I think being a part of building and maintaining cell infrastructure would be an interesting career. Not just for Sprint and NV, but the industry in general. I'd imagine most of the techs probably have engineering degrees. Anyone able to offer any insight?

It doesn't mean anything unless you actually see crews in the area and new equipment going up on towers.

It is the first step in the process. It is change. It means NV is a relaity, not just some idea that might not happen. Even if LTE is 6 months or more away, it is still a change. Sprint has blown a lot of smoke in this area as it has others regarding network upgrades.

eHRPD is a good indication that NV work is starting in the area. I check everywhere for it. It has already been reported in the southern end of the market, but that may be due to work going on in Tennessee.

I've checked several times on my gs3. No eHRPD yet for Louisville or Bullitt county.

Do you think that its possible that the Ericsson markets may pick up the pace now?

Had a dream last night that I woke up and LTE just worked. Complete with speedtest and sensorly updates.

LTE must be coming.

Any news is good news. Maybe they'll just keep pushing north from Tennessee and work their way up to Louisville.

Thanks for the answer. I finally have a Galaxy s3 on the way. If I start picking up 4g this site will be the first to know. I hope LTE hits soon. I can't wait to rub it in some peoples faces that recently switched from Sprint to AT&T if I get l LTE before them.

A friend of mine who has an EVO LTE swore that he was connected to 4G LTE in Louisville, KY - I wen't back to where he said it was when it connected and couldn't find a signal on my GS3.

Which part of Louisville exactly? I've been on the lookout lately for any signs of progress, but havent seen any yet. I don't go out of my way, but I have examined a few towers and haven't seen anything yet. I live in Bullitt County, work in J-Town, and attend University of Louisville. I certainly hope your right. On certain days if the weather is right I can get a poor WiMax connection on the north end of campus. Other than that I have never experienced 4g.
