    Lowest DB for LTE before switching to 3G?

    in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment

    Posted

    Toying with the settings will probably only determine how long you hold onto a  signal that might not be usable. LTE for my phone holds it till about -115 to -117 before dropping. At that signal level  the data link is pretty much un-usable. I would rather it drop to EVDO around -110-112 to avoid data stream disruption.   Your phone/radio is what it is.  Any tweaking would more than likely adversely affect your connectivity

    I get around 400kb/s around -114- -117

    Antenna Placement on Tower?

    Are you sure there isn't a second carrier on that site?  Almost always, the Network Vision panels and legacy panels are side by side on the same rack.  NV panels and RRU's most often in the center, between the legacy panels on each side.  Legacy service stays active until they are able to decommission the legacy a few weeks/months after NV acceptance.

     

    It is very uncommon that Network Vision panels are on a different rack than legacy panels.  Sprint doesn't need to lease to spots on the tower.  Waste of money.  The only exception is if they are taking over the Nextel rack and giving back their previous location to Crown Castle.  This may happen in a few instances, but is not common.

    Wouldn't suprise me if they are on two different legacy panels

    im only 26. surprisingly some people your age sometimes don't know what certain things are or how things were done without the new technology. since you are on here I will assume you are familiar with 5-inch floppy disks? if not, then it's stuff like that which makes me feel old.

    Oh god, We used to use those in Elementary school lol. Or I think it was pre-K. I remember using those lol and having dial up computers and using dial up and not being able to use the phone.. A lot has changed since I was that age.. lol

    How does 4G coverage compare to Evdo / 1x

    That's not necessarily the case, however LTE on 1900mhz is fickle about permiating indoors.

     

    To answer the OP question each technology (4G/3G/CDMA) is separately remotely adjustable on each of Sprints sector antennas; thus coverage radius may vary accordingly. Also if your standing at the bottom of the site running a speed test you may as well be kicking tires, most sweetspots are 1/4-1/2 mile away from the sector (for testing.)

    LTE 800 hopefully will fix that here lol

    You forgot to mention that there will be 2 variants of the Note 3 phone. From the link you posted the US version should be the SM-N9005 given the unknown CPU/GPU (pretty obvious its going to be Snapdragon 800) and the LTE connectivity capability. The Exynos processor is only for the SM-900 model and doesn't support LTE.

     

    The most disappointing part of these specs that I am not to keen on is the 3200 maH battery.... :( . I was really hoping to see a 3500 maH battery to account for the slight increase in screen size.  I guess maybe the trade off is a little more slimness to the phone instead of making it a larger battery device.  This probably leads me to believe that the dimensions of the Note 3 are going to be similar to the Note 2 in terms of width and height but the depth (thickness) of the phone will be reduced by several mm.

     

    I am glad to hear that it will have the latest Android 4.3 software, micro SD card support and most likely removable battery.  Thanks for the link.

     

    About the core thing, you do know that only 4 cores will be active any time.  Four of the cores are used for heavy tasks (video, gaming, etc) and the other four cores are low power that are used for (email, web browsing, texting).

    I keep forgetting the foreign models keep being octo cores lol. It'll most likely be 3GB with quad

    This phone is going to be a damn beast. 3GB of ram and an octo core? That's more core than my laptop xD lol. If this is true, I'm getting it.

    Busy people can't attend to everything right then and there. Priorities come first, first middle and last. Some times you have to remind them. Lol, I always have to remind my managers to order stuff a couple times so I can do my job the correct way.  :)

    But Tbh, I ask alot of questions. I like to know what I see, what I hear. Example. If I wouldn't ask questions or look around. I wouldn't know what I do now. I have family that lives in Huntington and my grandma went to the ATT store down there and the att guy told her sprint didn't have 4G and the coverage was absolute garbage. Well last week, It was my cousins birthday and we all were down there. My whole family down there is on one plan and they are on t mobile or att. But Sprint has 800smr launched/4G covering the ENTIRE city. I told them everything I've found out from this site about 4G and NV rollout and what's going on. I even downloaded speedtest on there phones and we did comparisons. I got 23MB down and they got not even 2MB down on "4G". back in the day, half of my family was on Sprint and they switched to att or tmobile. Because the service was garbage. But Now they are switching to Sprint in October for dat unlimited data :) and dat 4Glte :). October or November, that's when there contract is up. I told them to wait till tri-band phones are announced and released.

    So thank you Robert and S4GRU members/staff :)
