LTEBrooklyn

Is your signal low? or is this a new occurrence?

I'm getting about -101 for LTE in my house and when I switch to a phone call I'm getting around -81... It seems like it should be working fine. LTE is working great here. 35-50MBPS in house. Also getting 29MS latency...

Any ideas where the drop calls are coming from?

I still have major issues inside and am getting B41 90% of the time anywhere I go in NYC...

Getting tons of dropped calls in my house and all the bands are heavily around me, so are there any options for me at this point?

Hey everyone!

Haven't been here for ages and haven't really been following sprint and the LTE sightings.

Did a speed test just now and got 50mbps... I'm using a 6 PLUS

Have I missed anything major in new developments in the passed 6 months or so?

Yeah they sure do. The 5s is worth like 320$ at the Sprint store. Apple buyback is different, they only give 180 for a 5 and I don't know how much for a 5s.

I got $353 for my 5s the day the 6 Plus came out

I don't have $450 and some change I have 350$ and some change lol. The 128 is for power users any how I just don't need that much space.

You will have it very likely for the next 2 years. It's only an extra $100. I look it at like its unlimited possibilities and I enjoy my phone a lot more knowing I can basically download and put anything on my phone.

You can't find a job to make a $100?

I know your in school, but I'm sure you can find something for it.

You'll really enjoy it

Ok looked it up. Only version available is the 128GB iphone 6 in silver and in gold.

They are available to pick up in the store instantly.

64GB is not available . Get the 128GB

That's what I have

...

Can someone interpret this for me

My experience so far with the iPhone 6 on spark has been great. Places inside where I had only 3G I now have 2 bars of band 41.

Hmm. I thought Band 41 had issues inside.

B26 is best for indoors.

In my house I get Band 41 for LTE and probably B25 for voice which is completely unstable.

How's b26 coverage for voice working out? Having issues still with signal in my house

Clear towers in NYC were and still are Wimax sites. But sprint is also deploying B41 on all there own towers as well. Eventually, we will have a slight advantage over other markets in number of sites, because we will eventually have B41 on both ex-clear sites and current sprint sites.

Wouldn't be cheaper for sprint to just convert?

My mom has an upgrade and my birthdays coming up, I asked her if she doesn't get her 6 by my birthday can I take her upgrade cause u have my money and im gonna trade in my 5 which is worth 233$ so hopefully I get my 6 in 2 weeks if my mom let's me. I can't wait to experience B41's sparkyness [emoji24]

Get the 6 Plus.

I love the phone.

And it's big at first glance, but you get used to it. Really worth it!

To illustrate, B41 is like driving on the NJ turnpike. B25 is the FDR and B26 is the West side Hwy. B41 will be hard to congest with the vast amount of bandwith available.

That B25 comparison is so true.

I'm really confused about something.

As people upgrade to the newest devices, it seems that the phones are prioritizing B26 and B41

Won't that eventually clog up bandwidth like it did on B25 because nobody will be using B25 anymore except for older devices

on the new iPhone 6 Plus I'm either getting B26 or B41 every time I check.

Is this positive?

I remember on the 5S I couldn't ever get off B25.

Now it's the opposite. I can't seen to get B25.

Should I worry?

Can anyone explain what this is? I noticed this as I was walking today. I took the pic myself

Someone remind me the advantages of a 8t8r site

Band 26 is LTE ONLY

 

Not sure how many times we've gone over this. Band XX is the naming convention for an LTE band. Example: Band 25 (PCS LTE), Band 26 (SMR LTE), Band 41 ... etc.

 

Band Class XX is the naming convection for voice/evdo. Band Class 10 is 1x800.

 

When you are connected to LTE, you do not have a voice connection. When you receive a call, a page is sent out through LTE directing your device to fall back to 1x to receive the call. You may fall back to 1x800 or 1x1900 depending on the circumstance

Understood completely. Thanks

Dude.

I'm just confused here. 800 has LTE and Voice.

1800 has voice and LTE on same band.

If I'm in B41 LTE, which band is using voice?

Is it possible for me to have B41 LTE and B26 1X voice at the same time.

And I don't mean using it at the same time either

I know which band I'm at. I meant to say is how do I know if I'm getting spark.

I assume spark is all 3 bands connected at the same time

Has anyone with an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus touched any B41? If so how were the speeds?

I have the the 6 Plus. I have B41 quite frequently now.

Quick question though for others. I'm receiving B41 now, but I have no way of knowing if I'm using Spark or just using a single channel.

Anyway to find out using the new iPhone?

Anymore updates on iPhone 6 spark performance ?

Haven't done much testing, but like I mentioned earlier, b41 is up and active

And now you see why us Android users used to brag.

What's really rockin is b41 in the house.

Thought I was going to have to search for it, but apparently it found me.

Came back now from the Apple Store.

Got the IPhone 6 Plus

In my house and am getting B41

Rocking 30MBPS in the house.

Awesome new phone btw
