LTE 800 seems to penetrate building better, I'll take that when I can get nothing else!

I'd be mapping but sensorly is playing dumb right now. I expect to head to Richmond this afternoon, we'll see it works better on the way. 

My experience with B41 is that it is hard to hold onto. So I would not be concerned that it flips back and forth. 

I've noticed that a lot of the time when I check the engineering screens it will say B41 and then flash back and forth to 25 and then 41 again over and over. Is that normal or something that's been observed before? I'm not in a fringe location I'm directly downtown, outdoors, and it bounces back and forth.

LTE back on my tower, now with data....and fair to middling speed given that I am in a hole. Ookla speed test picked a shentel server in Rocky Mount....hmmm.....I reckon they are already starting to make their mark around here. I really hope so. Ntelos has been like two cans and some string for quite a while. 

Arrgh, the plot thickens, I installed a new CM nightly and my phone had switched to GSM, and of course that's only useful overseas! Took several stabs at the hidden menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to get it back to CDMA but now won't receive LTE......Bleccch. Of course Ntelos may actuall have turned LTE off on local tower....they've been doing that off and on.

It's on, don't know why it didn't get into the log. It may be that LTE is coming in from a different tower than CDMA but I doubt it. I think I've got one note for CDMA and one for LTE, don't remember, but I am in such a hole geographically that anything I can get that isn't roaming HAS to be from Roy Rd.

A small log of home area. Can get bigger one in a bit of time. 

Was in Richmond yesterday, and all LTE bands I could receive got good data service. This used to be Ntelos, but now is native Sprint. Nowat  home and on my tower located on Roy Rd, Troutville, and I get very decent B25 signal but still no data....I might be sending some up but nothing comes back. I switch my phone to 3G manually and I get good data there with EHRPD in the background. My significant other has a Note 4 same as mine, but hers has stock rom, and she thinks she's getting data at her sister's house. Might be, but I believe a home signal there is so weak that you may be lucky to get 1xrtt, and maybe 3G if you wear a tin hat, and hold the phone in the air. I dunno what's going on, but if it's my nightlies from Cyanogenmod, well I hope they fiure it out. If it's Ntelos, I wish they would have left well enough alone. LTE worked a treat for three day and now it's just a signal with dead air. 

Pull up the testing menu, you can command the phone to get PRL by selecting CDMA PRL...when complete, go back to settings and pick LTE only or whatever you normally use. On the note 4 testing is to dial *#*#4636#*#* might be similar on others. 

4g died last night in Roanoke market. It still showed B25 on my phone, just no data going in or out. This morning my  local tower has dropped back to 3G. Sadly, the 4g signal is a tad stronger. 

Welp, LTE B25 back on, but still no data....I guess they are working on it. I hope so.
