Will they have to change our terms of service?

I still can't believe all the issues around Tampa International Airport. One tower on Westshore and Spruce still does not have csfb enabled on it and the airport tower seems to be down. I was at International Mall and I had eHRPD but no data. There is some Band 26 available now tho in spots.

You would love it over here then, at least half of the market here has B26Can't get any worse than it is right now lol. I have a 5S so I don't have to worry about CSFB issues.

Just a heads up, it was bad here for two weeks while they adjusted the towers for B26. Also there was and still is some csfb issue on triband phones because they didn't enable the software on B26. So it might get worst before it gets better.Hope they launch several clusters over here. We certainly need it to fill in some of the gaps due to these legacy sites.

Over here they enabled B26 on more than 20 towers at one time a couple weeks ago. They seem to do it in clusters.

I've gotten 31 or so near Citrus Park last week...Here is another..I wonder why band 26 speeds never exceed 20 mbps. Doesnt seem like 5x5 to me.

So the price is per person, not account? So my wife and I will be charged separately?

I've observed about 15 towers that have B26 on it so far from Tampa to Brooksville. Unfortunately all of them don't have the eCSFB patch yet so it only works when I'm in LTE only mode.

B26 is all over from Spring Hill to Tampa but it's still not patched with csfb. People with triband phones who don't know tech stuff must be returning their phones in droves thinking there is something wrong because they don't get LTE anymore. Sprint could have saved money by texting or communicating with customers that LTE would be down for a week or two while they upgrade the towers. I mean it's bad, if I didn't have Band 26 disabled I would loose Lte almost everywhere the last two weeks.

Try ##72786# to re activate the phone without completely resetting it.Just to clarify, what is a "cold boot"?

There was just a huge launch of B26 (LTE 800) in Tampa BUT it's not csfb enabled yet so you can only use it if you have a iPhone or triband with LTE only mode.I wish Robert could feed us with some top secret news about b26, but sadly I don't think he has any yet. I sure hope that Ericsson pushes for a gigantic launch of 800 voice and LTE like what happened before.

Rf, I had my wife's S4 and my S5 side by side for a week. Example in our bedroom S4 got about -90dBm and the S5 -102dBm. I would loose lte in places where the S4 held it with no problems. Android Central forums and this site dedicated S5 section has many other similar complaints. This was all on Band 25.
Check them out side by side at the Sprint store, there's a difference.

You are lucky because your on a iPhone too so your able to use it. Triband phones can't yet because of csfb.Just by chance I checked and I have some B26 over on Falkenburg near US 301!

That's good to know. It seems about a dozen sites or more were upgraded to B26 at once last week.That problem lasted between 1 and 2 weeks in the Kansas market when they fired up B26 all over the place. That was a little over a month ago. Now, it works perfectly all over the market.

I had to return the S5 because of the B25 radio and go back to my S4. I couldn't hold a LTE connection where I had it before with my S4. That could be the reason, other people on this site and other forums are having rf problems.The LTE on Merrill Rd near Townsend seems to have disappeared... I was getting it on GS3 and Sensorly has plenty of hits but I upgrade to GS5 and cannot find it anymore... Other LTE is found but I need to use LTE Discover or make a call and then it finds LTE and leaves 3G....

It's pretty much sucks that half of Tampa's towers are not broadcasting LTE as of Friday because of the B26 upgrades. This confirms my suspicion that csfb has to be put on each band or it will knock triband phones off LTE.

Anyone out there lol? I put my phone into LTE only mode and got lots of Band 26 from Citrus Park Mall to Busch Gardens along Gunn/Busch Blvd. Awesome speeds too. But as soon as I enabled LTE +Cdma so I could receive calls, the csfb issue occurred and I dropped to 3G. If I disable band 26 I have no problems. Here are some screen shots.

Could a phone connecting to B26 cause a csfb issue. In other words does csfb have to be enabled on all band? For example, if a tower has all bands broadcasting but csfb is only on band 25 and Band 41, not Band 26 cause your phone to be knocked to 3G if it picks up the Band 26? I found this very issue here in Tampa in a area that I pick up band 25 and 41. I started having a issue where my LTE connection would switch and stay on 3G like it does with towers that don't have csfb correctly enabled. So I suspected before it had to do with band 26 because it would briefly connect or scan band 26 before dropping to 3G. Well I disabled Band 26 and that did the trick, it connected to band 25 and Band 41 with no problems.
Here is the proof it did connect to band 26 briefly.

Top 5% being throttled starting 6/1

I use between 4-8 gigs a month. I wouldn't have a problem with being throttled but at what speeds will I be throttled at? If it's sub 1mb down I will have a problem. Speeds lower than that Spotify and Google Music will not stream correctly.
