http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4742-columbus-market-mapspreadsheet/ That link ought to get you there.

You should be in, if you didn't already find out. Check out the Columbus Market / Sponsor thread.

Thanks for not deleting the pictures first in your quote...

Spreadsheet updated. You should really make a donation and become a sponsor. You will NOT be disappointed with the information / maps / spreadsheet that we have created for Columbus. Just FYI.

Great Pics! Thanks for posting them.

Same problem, I would use cell near scans to enable wifi. I do not believe you can do that anymore, .

Same problem here, I usually have to force close the app and restart it for it to work again. Such a great app, I'm sure Mike is already working on it.

Yes. TECHNOLOGY CDMA:800, 1900 MHz FDD LTE:1900 (band 25) MHz Data:LTE, EV-DO Rev.A

Get a Nexus 5, I went from 1 bar (needed an airave) to 2 bars LTE. Simply stunning RF. As Coz stated though, don't need LTE in the house. Just nice to have coverage for voice without the airave now.

So you are connecting to this with a Nexus 5 with no special "tricks"? I am still having issues with connecting to B41 on confirmed sites here locally...

You didn't by chance drive around the tower and get the other two numbers did you? It appears this is a new LTE site. EDIT: Looking at the spreadsheet, this tower may have been found already. If you can verify the other two serving cells that would be a big help. I'm a little slow this morning, if you check out the sponsor thread this site has been confirmed with all three serving cells. I can post the location there.

Touche, misread that... Couldn't agree with you more, but thank you for being patient on this site. Our thread is one of the best as far as I'm concerned.

I grabbed some extra LTE sites as you mentioned. If you grab a sponsorship to this site you will be able to see what sites are live. Thanks for your patience!

That's a long day..

As described above, the phone WILL work with 800 band. Just not currently. We need to wait for the Spark update for our device to work. Patience is key, the update is supposed to arrive Q12014 (which is kind of right around the corner...).

I cannot get B41 in my area as well. I'm on baseband .17, you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands...

I have a TLYT charger also with no impact on temperature. At least nothing noticeable. I've been using it since Christmas.

Keep in mind that text was site Country-wide. So it has no bearing at all on your service being completed. We all agree, it is a terrible marketing gimmick that just misinforms customers. Thankfully, you are on S4GRU so you will stay much more informed than most. EDIT: Also, we do not have many spotters in that area. If you are available and willing you should become a sponsor. This will allow you to see a Google Maps version of all Sprint towers with in progress towers and completed towers. We can always use an extra set of eyes.

Mmmmmm.... Raising Canes. I haven't had that in too long. That dipping sauce is so addicting.

Do anything special?

May be the issue... Someone just posted above you that it is called LG software update, not firmware update...

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. I'll look into why / if I can replicate it.

I appreciate the quick response. I understand the dB, I'm more confused with how or why the phone is looking for LTE service when I'm ON a phone call. It certainly makes sense when I'm using data, but why is the phone searching / connecting to an LTE tower when I'm on voice. I would have thought the preference would be to other 1X towers...? I hope that helps clarify my original question. Thanks again.

So, I guess this makes sense but I noticed some odd behavior (to me) of my Nexus 5 recently. A new LTE B25 site went live in my area / commute home. It is providing very fringe / high dB service in the 115's to 120s. The tower has incredible range and the area is conveniently flat in that area. What I've noticed is that I'll be on a cell phone call and experience a dropped call. As soon as the call drops, I'll get LTE service (albeit very high dB) for a little while before it switches back / moves to the next tower. The reason I bring this up is because without this tower being live I wouldn't have any problem using my phone during the drive. With what I've learned from this site, it makes sense that my phone is dropping and have issues with NV and legacy (Samsung / Moto market), but is it normal that my phone is actively hunting LTE while I'm on a phone call? Especially with a triband device. I apologize if it is an ignorant question, just trying to get a better understanding of how this "system" all works. I suppose the engineer in me... Thank you in advance.

All of Marysville has been upgraded to NV in some capacity. There are quite a few towers that are LTE as well. Any screenshots would be appreciated.
