  1. we can only hope that they stay to having us all done by year end :tu:
  2. hi all, if someone has a good pic of one of the new 4G antenna's to show what they look like that would be great
  3. hi all, if someone has a good pic of one of the new 4G antenna's to show what they look like that would be great.....
  4. i would think that they may be trying to balance the signal in the overlap in the clusters
  5. were do you go to see the colors ....... ( link address please )
  6. were do you see these color flags???????
  7. hi guy's ,,, here is some new news ,,,,, Riverside/San Bernardino ...Sites Complete = 41%; Anticipated LTE Launch = Spring 2013 ...Original Scheduled Completion = October 2013; Current Production Rate Completion = January 2014
  8. hi guy's,,, here is some new news ......... San Diego ...Sites Complete = 36%; Anticipated LTE Launch = Spring 2013 ...Original Scheduled Completion = May 2013; Current Production Rate Completion = Janaury 2014
  9. if it is like what they are doing in san diego, they will be turning on towers randomly, and then turning them on and off for two or three weeks ....it also looks like they pick towers around fire stations first...... gt
  10. hi all, first thanks for being here and doing all the mapping in the canyon lake area,,, i am from the outside of the temecula area( hwy 79 so to vail lake ) and have been doing all the mapping down there in temecula,,, i though i was alone ,,,,,
  11. hi all, i see that 4g is showing in canyon lake,,, does anyone know who mapped it ????
  12. i think everyone is taking a brake ,,,,, :P
  13. here is a good site to find the towers,,,, change riverside in the string...... or when it loads scroll down ,,,,, https://network.spri...m/CA/Riverside https :// network.sprint .com/ ca/ riverside/ gt
  14. here is a speed test from today
  15. i mapped over 500 points of LTE today around temecula ,,, it was hot most of the day ./.......gt
  16. i do see up north to temecula there or some new blips ,,, i do not know who mapped them but i sure do like it .....gt
  17. here i think is some news..... Sprint has not yet selected a date to formally "launch" LTE service in the Inland Empire. It is difficult to try to pick a date now this far out, but we will try. In looking at the schedule as of today, it would indicate a April - May market launch (going on a 40% - 50% completion for launch). But there is no way to know if AlcaLu and their subcontractors will actually hit their schedule dates this early in the deployment for this market. We will be able to gauge better after a few months of production. Alcatel/Lucent needs to hit a production rate of only 45 sites per month to stay on schedule. This is about average and the should be able to complete this market on time. good luck,,,,
  18. if i did not know you or the system better i would ask you who did you pi__ off .....gt
  19. hi hi ,Garrcklh i sure hope at least you get some good 3g readings with readings like that......gt
  20. i found this info ,i hope that coping it dose not get anyone upset .... Did you know that with Sprint LTE Android devices, the signal strength indicator at the top does not show your LTE signal strength? Even if 4G is displayed next to it? This signal displayed here is always your 1x (voice signal), and it is not your 3G EVDO signal strength, nor your LTE signal strength. Regardless of whether it says 3G or 4G next to it. This is the cause of a lot of confusion. Also, third party apps like NetMonitor and CDMA Field Test do not show accurate LTE signal strengths. They also only show the 1x signal strength, even though they may reference being connected to LTE. The purpose of this thread is to help educate the masses, because many people think they have a strong LTE signal, when in fact they do not. And then they are unhappy, thinking that Sprint LTE is really slow, even with a strong signal. LTE performance is very signal strength dependent. So, when you have a weak signal, you can expect much slower than peak results. There is only one accurate way to get your LTE signal strength, and that is from your LTE Engineering screen in your Debug menu. And we will discuss the different ways to get that below. ...In the EVO LTE, LG Viper, LG Optimus G & Motorola Photon Q LTE: Go in to your phone app, and dial ##DEBUG# Select LTE Engineering Go down to RSRP. The number under RSRP shown in dBm is your LTE signal strength. ...In the Galaxy S-III, Victory LTE & Note II: Go in to your phone app, and dial ##DEBUG# Enter 777468 for your lock code Select LTE Engineering Go down to RSRP. The number next to RSRP shown in dBm is your LTE signal strength. ...In the Galaxy Nexus: Go in to your phone app, and dial *#*#DEBUG#*#* Enter 777468 for your lock code Select LTE Engineering Go down to RSRP. The number next to RSRP shown in dBm is your LTE signal strength. The LTE Signal Strength Scale: Now you have determined your actual LTE signal strength in dBms your device is receiving, you can use the following scale below to determine its strength: Better than -96dBm is a great signal Between -97dBm and -107dBm is good Between -108dBm and -114dBm is fair Worse than -115dBm is poor Feel free to link people to this thread for explanation. Hopefully, this will clear up some confusion out there! NOTE: It appears that the iPhone 5 does show LTE signal strength in the status bar, when the LTE icon is displayed. So this does not apply to the iPhone.
  21. funny thing ,, the area i mapped today only shows at different magnification ,,,, zoom in and out ,,,it shows and disappears, two hours later all fixed ................
  22. i picked up LTE from Felicita to Rancho prky on the 15 about 2 miles worth ;)
  23. if someone can clarify ,,, why when they are setting up a tower,they turn it on and it works and then they do not leave it on as they go ??
