I had B41 back for a day over the weekend. Back to B25. I called Sprint and they said they would make a report and call me back to see if anything happened... yeah right.

Still stuck on B25

How accurate is the "Voice Tower" location on the map location?

How accurate is the "Voice Tower" location in LTE Discovery? It seems as though I am currently connected to a different tower at a different location than usual; thus the B25 LTE.

Spill the beans please!

Back at full bars B25. I will update then B41 returns.

Good one, that is the zip code. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Washington,+DC+20010/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89b7c8191148ba15:0xf8f20470d73a7a35?sa=X&ei=OcKtVKPCCMzGsQTx74G4Cg&ved=0CG8Q8gEwCg On the west side of 16th street. On my way home today, there was a spot that always dropped to 3g or sometimes no data. Today, LTE the entire way, although it was B25.

Back on band 25, this time with 1/2 of my bars.... there are doing something. Just make sure that something end up with me back on band 41 at home.

B41 was down for about 24 hours (at least my local cell) in Washington, DC. It is back now.

Crisis averted, back on band 41.

I would say yes, there is WiMax. I had about the same number of bars on WiMax that I had on HDD-LTE.

Still on band 25 since 9:39 AM according to my LTE Discovery app log. Anyway to see if they are doing work on my tower? Also, shouldn't band 41 be the preferred band sprint wants people on first?

Is it possible it get Sprint Zone on a custom rom like CM11? I think (and hoping not) that they activated LTE on band 25 here. Because when I had a Galaxy Nexus, I was on 3G and could not get LTE in home. I will give it sometime, hopefully band 41 returns.

I have been on band 41 forever at my house. This morning I am parked on band 25 (yuck). Anything going on? TDD-LTE has such better battery life as compared to LTE on bands 25 an 2

Great, as soon as I get some more Google survey credit, this will be my first paid app purchase ever.

I had my first out of town travel over the weekend and here is something that I noticed while being in multiple different cities. Firstly let me state that I have a Galaxy Nexus and can only get LTE on band 25. My home city is Washington DC does not officially have LTE. LTE is around town, mostly in NE and SE with some cells interspersed throughout. My old phone was a Photon 4G and WiMax coverage is pretty solid in DC. At my home, I am pretty sure the building next to mine has the WiMax antennas on the roof; however, I cannot connect to LTE. I can force my phone in LTE only and pick up the LTE signal, I just cannot get any data on it to transfer, way to low dBm. When I do get LTE in DC, I noticed that the signal must be very strong for it to switch from 3g to LTE. Even sometimes with a sub 85dBA signal I can get bumped back to 3G. This is different from what I noticed over the weekend. While in Pittsburgh, my phone was almost always connected to LTE. It even stayed connected to LTE with on bare and a 140dBa signal. My data transfer speeds dropped of significantly, but I still had LTE. I noticed that both cities have not officially launched at LTE markets as of July 4, 2014. I just wonder why there is such a difference. Clearly it seems that Pittsburgh is further along in its deployment. But why can you stay on LTE in Pittsburgh, while in DC it wants to kick you for almost any reason? Could it be because of the different hardware that is being deployed? Thanks for any thoughts or shared experiences.

It seems as though deployment in DC has stalled. I went from a WiMax to LTE and WiMax has better coverage.

In Mt Pleasant DC, voice went out today at about 5pm, have been roaming ever since. 4g wimax is strong however, streamed an HD movie last night.

So they lost 75% of their Nextel subscribers... Everything else sounds good. The bird nesting excuse for further delaying much needed back hauling does not add up to me. The back haul goes all the way up to the tower antennas and not just at the base station? Are the birds nesting on the gates to the cell tower?

Picksburgh has pretty decent Wimax coverage en at

Sprint / Clear WiMax on Photon 4G.

At Shady Grove today

PCS Vision, that's what I had for free on my feature phone back in 2004'ish, my first phone by the way.

Hasn't Sprints data service always been called "Vision" of some iteration?
