You have to know what is common for your area. I pretty much see 40978 and now 41176 in my areas but I have found 4137x in Madison Heights and Troy. I cant remember the different earfcn I found in Kalamazoo. Point is that 40978//41176 are not necessarily constants. Know your area.

A little detective work using a couple different tools. For example, I know that in my area of SE Mich that Band 41 is primarily on 40978 on Sectors 00, 01, and 02 (Samsung market). Now we're seeing Sectors 03, 04, and 05 popping up and checking the LTE Engineering screen is showing us that the "new" sectors are using 41176.

Your profile shows you using a LG G3.I get to the engineering screens on my LG G2 and G Flex by dialing ##DEBUG#.

Running 4.28 and checked Google Play to verify no updates are available. What you see is what you get with the screen shots. The only thing I altered was I blacked out site addresses.

Logged a second B41 carrier in Novi today (Sector 05). Was unable to get an engineering screen capture to check earfcn.

Here is the SCP capture of site in Fenton (PCI 241) with the second Band 41 carrier. Notice there are 2 LTE "neighbor cells" detected from PCI 241. Interesting considering we are in the IBEZ and I was considerably far away enough from the site that I do not believe the phone was detecting another sector. Engineering screen capture while connected to PCI 241 Sector 01 showing I am on the commonly found EARFCN 40978. This is what initially caught my attention. Sector 04 in a Samsung market?? Hmmm..... Engineering screen capture confirming a second Band 41 carrier from PCI 241.

Second Band 41 carrier in Fenton on EARFCN 41176. Screenshots coming soon.

Looks like the usual suspects that participate with every other rewards program.

This is my error. First time being outside a Samsung market. Apparently Sector 03 doesn't translate as a 2nd LTE carrier outside of Samsung.

You waste your time, energy and electrons replying to the resident T-Mob agitant.

I was simply replying to the post above mine that basically the 2nd LTE carrier is more widespread across this region than South Bend. Let me see what I can do about a screen shot...

Earfcn 26315 is pretty widespread throughout Ft Wayne and points south, Southern Illinois and St Louis.

I love the combination of your screenshot and your avatar. It's like you're saying "check this out, bitches!"

B41 doesn't need to be rolled out in clusters. That was only 3G since it was a legacy vs new equipment situation. B41 is simply an overlay at existing Network Vision standards.

Whiny but empty consumer threats are *sooo* community.sprint.com

I was in the Kalamazoo area today and noticed B41 on both EARFCN 40978 and 39858. I dont have the tower location/GCI data in Signal Check for this area to know what signal was coming from where. But I'm wondering if multi-channel/CA has reached the area.

Maybe the question to ask is where in the vicinity of Muskegon does WOW exist since to the best of my knowledge WOW doesn't serve areas outside of Metro Detroit or outer Lansing areas. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/6794-fcc-commissioner-calls-out-dish-for-designated-entity-bidding-in-aws-3-auction/?p=401610

Sorry but you did not answer in the form of a question.

Not 800 MHz but Band 41 (2.5GHz). Nothing further can likely be done because the cell site is most likely overloaded. Band 41 will help alleviate that. Nothing Earth shattering with your experience or what Sprint told you. You'll just have to hang on and make sure you have a tri-band capable (Spark) phone. Band 41 is alive and kicking in Flint and the Tri's so if it isn't at that particular site yet I'm sure it will be soon.

No need to go to there to read any comments. The cliff notes version is easily found here

There is a site in the vicinity that was converted from a GMO to full build with LTE. I haven't been through Holly since Jan 2 so I don't know if the Holly site had LTE come back online (likely) but i strongly suspect LTE was taken offline for tuning of the new LTE site.

New B41 sites coming online in the Metro Detroit area. I saw EARFCN 41374 coming from sites in the Madison Heights and Troy area. There was a B41 site that just came online in the Warren area but I wasn't able to determine the EARFCN. Any other B41 site I've seen in outstate Michigan is on the common 40978 EARFCN thus far.

Found B41 yesterday in the Clarkston, Auburn Hills and I-75/I-696 areas. Must have just been recently turned on and un-optimized because the range is a pile of suck. But it's a start. Auburn Hills around Great Lakes Crossing mall usually sees 3G/4G data ground to an unusable halt.

I've seen your requests in the W MI forum. Probably no one active on this forum anymore that can answer that. I certainly cannot give any personal accounts since I'm not in, near or around that area. That being said, you'd likely be the first set of boots on the ground in that area observing on behalf of S4GRU so we look forward to your report!
