    Need some help here. Have an S3 with the latest PRL (25015). The only way my phone will connect to 800 is if I manually update my PRl while next to a live 800 tower. The phone will not scan, even if I cycle the radio several times? Using signal check, I will watch my 1xRTT drop off and lose signal. Need help getting my phone to scan and pick up that glorious 800.

    floods, freezing rain, gale force winds, snow storms in March... I think things will pick up again, when the weather starts to stabilize around here. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.

    clearly they are building out the freeways then filling in the gaps! can't believe the rate of live towers these last few weeks!

    looks like some purple (via sensorly), just north of 94 on 196/31. looks like there's at least some testing going on so the panels should be up? either way, it's a good sign

    wow, you sir are very knowledgeable. again, thanks for your response and your time. just upgraded and am now locked in for another 2 and am now having a little buyers remorse if you will. I gambled on the wimax promise and lost, now I find myself in the same boat with the promise of a bright lte future. I knew what I was getting into, just that whole "here we go again sinking feeling as the first site dates for west michigan have come and gone with no information (for the common folk anyway) on any real progress. you guys on this site really know your s$!t, and it is appreciated. again, thanks

    I understand and thanks for the response. just sad that we as consumers have to seek information on secondary third party sites and that their information is misleading or just outright false. if they are upgrading towers, you would think it would be in there own interest to give out valid information. on that note, signal finder and open signal are indicating that the tower I am currently connected to is at site 1 which is actually a tower (mono pole) and cdma field test is within a few hundred feet from this tower that is not identified as a Sprint tower according to their own information (stay with me here cause I now your ripping your hair out... I do get what your saying). but the tower that is getting the updates that is a few hundred feet closer to my location, I am not connecting to according to all these signal apps. the apps are showing actual tower locations for this tower... I guess it's not that important really, just hearing about all these upgrades, and seeing Sprint proudly release all the improvements on their towers and yet absolutely zero improvements on actual speed. just frustrating.

    downloaded cdma field test, now the primary tower is a totally different location. wrong again however, only single story residence, no towers, poles, tree with panels (really by the way?). just want be sure I am connecting to the Sprint tower that is receiving the updates and if not, why? I know Sprints data is very poor in some locations. but when I have a tower within 500 feet with no obstructions (my road leads directly to it as if it was the fricken yellow brick road) and that tower, according to Sprint has received multiple speed and data capacity upgrades in the past year... why I'm I still pulling less than 100 k down during off peek hours. Sorry for the b#&$h fest, just trying understand?

    now I'm really going to get flamed... she now has an iphone. and believe me I tried to talk her out of it.

    so I could in fact be connecting to the Sprint tower #3 in question. that's depressing for the fact that after 6 months of so called speed and data updates my speeds are still ridiculous at best (less than 100 k down) I was hoping the tower had connection issues or something... anything but what is going on. the bad part is as soon as I drive in any direction approximately 2 miles my speeds are where they should be. (1 to 1.5 meg down). I know I will be getting lte, it's just a matter of time.

    tower 3 is the only tower that has received updates, tower 1 is not mentioned on the NV site at all... Sorry for theconfusion
  12. danny1st
    Quick question about NV towers. When I look at the tower updates via the Sprint NV official site in my area (zip: 49509) there is a tower (#3) that is about 500 ft directly to the south of my house. According to signal finder and open signal I have never connected to this tower. I connect primarily to tower #1, which is a monopole (flagpole) style tower. Tower #2 is the secondary tower that I will bounce to under certain conditions. When I drove to this location however, I could not find a tower in the immediate area? Tower #1 is the only tower in the area that has received multiple updates (speed, data capacity, etc.). I am in no way literate in the ways of tech/tower talk and I am well aware that open signal and signal finder apps are in no way perfect. But I am confused as to why I have not connected to the main Sprint tower that has been updated/upgraded. I am now using the S3, but have recieved the same data via my OC epic and my wifes POS Intercept. Any and all help in understanding this issue would be greatly appreciated in advanced... just remeber to dumb it down for the comon folk such as myself. Again, thanks
