    It's likely because 3G isn't connected to the new back haul yet.

    Most likely on Sprint's end, if the satellite icon is blue it's getting the tower location from the cell tower, which would confirm that it's on Sprint's end.

    If you want it to stick on LTE switch to LTE only not LTE/CDMA you'll lose the ability to call or text though (AFAIK anyways).

    It's likely due to back haul delays. The next iPhone won't have LTE support on 850Mhz SMR likely until the iPhone 6 is released so in building coverage on the iPhone will be the same as 3G. I'm also not to sure that the iPhone 5 will even be getting LTE at all (LTE Radios still use a large amount of power in comparison to just CDMA.) due to Apple trying to have some of the longest battery life out of all of the other smart phones.

    The PRL has nothing to do with 4G LTE. The reason it's connecting to LTE is because the CDMA radio is cycling from one state to another so with CDMA technically off it's trying to at least get some sort of connection. For example if you disconnect from WiFi your phone will try to connect to 3G or LTE.

    WiMax is deployed on 2500Mhz and 2600Mhz

    it pulls info directly from sprints website, it gets your location from a GeoIP database. If the location is wrong it's due to the GeoIP database being wrong or you ip having a different city registered to the ip/ip block. If it's displaying the wrong city you can get your gps coords from the speedtest.net app or gps logger. EDIT: I did some searching through apache's logs and I found your ip, checked it against a GeoIP database and it shows you're covered with 3G. In the legend it says EVDO which is colored purple for your entire area. In short EVDO is 3G.

    LTE IS LIVE!

    NiteSnow replied to Zerovoltz's topic in Markets

    LTE isn't GSM. It is developed by the same group so it's bound to have similarities. I guess it would be more proper to say it's a 3GPP Technology.

    LTE Is based on GSM therefore it is a GSM technology. Read up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_(telecommunication)

    It's because the per-user limit for uploads is 500KB you'll need to host images elsewhere like http://imgur.com/ you can then put the image url in the img tags when posting example: [img=http://i.imgur.com/derp.png]

    If you want a more specific look at LTE Coverage get your GPS location with something like GPS Logger for Android and input it at http://srv.so/sprint (Web app I made.).

    It will be current coverage when they flip the switch in 14 hours. The Signal has been live for months in some of these markets so it's quite likely that they have been able to survey the area with spectrum analyses.

    Peak speeds at launch will be 37 Megabit/s down and 18 Megabit/s upstream. Don't expect those speeds as those are under perfect conditions. You'll likely see peaks of 25 Megabit/s down and 10 Megabit/s up. Remember that the market hasn't been launched and won't be launched until tomorrow so the speeds you saw where probably due to something not being set up completely. It could possibly be that the tower was unblocked for testing and they where transferring large amounts of data on that tower.

    Here are the Sprint LTE Coverage Maps for Atlanta, Texas and, Overland Park/Kansas City. I will update with more detail on specific cities on request and I wall add more images for specific markets inside Texas. Click on the images to enlarge.

    I'm pretty sure it also makes way for upstream MIMO, which will bring about faster upload speeds at the very least.

    Sprint markets are huge, as you can see in the image below the Cleveland market takes up quite a large percentage of the state. Verizon probably won't have anything better than LTE in 2014, LTE is a solid standard and it's probably going to be around for quite awhile.

    How far away are you from your closest cell tower, you can find out this information with Netmonitor.
  19. NiteSnow
    If one tower is down others will "Pick up the load". The cell phones previously connected to that base station will have to either connect to another base station or roam so more load is put on other base stations around the one that went down. Once the base station is back up things should go back to normal. If you're still having issues with slow data I think there's a more direct number you can call, it was posted in another thread I'll have to dig it up for you when I get home.

    LAS VEGAS - 3340 Palmdesert Way - May 7th 2012. There have been tons of upgrades in the area. https://network.sprint.com/search/3340%20Palmdesert%20Way,%20Las%20Vegas,%20NV/

    I've been 10 miles out with NLOS and signal was about -96dBm which isn't the best but it'll let you make calls and do some mild web browsing.
  22. NiteSnow
    I certainly appreciate this sites existence.
  23. NiteSnow
    Wow I feel like an idiot for proposing that that would even work. But he sounds like even more of an idiot.

    Hmm, I guess I didn't realize that that could happen. How does Sprint have iDEN operating in that area then?
