LTEBrooklyn

 

depending on where you live and the signal strength, that may be the best you get indoors.

On the first floor of a house today I was able to get good service. I guess it's all about signal strength for now

 

 

Yeah I noticed that & its great I can't wait until my Market (Long Island) has it .

Do u live near the 878? I know they have some LTE there

 

 

It shows only the sites that have received a maintenance upgrade or Network Vision upgrade in the past six months. If the site hasn't had work in the past six months, it is not shown. The only place to look at all Sprint site locations is the S4GRU Sponsor sections.

I had a question which I asked in the sponsors forum. Should I ask it here or wait for a response there?

I never had a problem with 4G inside. I can't connect to 4G outside. I guess once they announce 4G for nyc I get 4G back.

That's very odd

I am finally getting lte in my apartment. It just happened. About 5mbps down -105dbm signal speed. Not sure which tower went live but I like the progress. Hope the signal strength improves.

Where do u live? & were u getting LTE when you walked outside your aprmnt and what was the db outside?

 

Still there , went Snowboarding , fell a couple of times lmao , my butt hurts , the service up here is nothing but 3G & 2G more 2G than expected but when i connect to the 3G it's faster than what I get at home , I'd say Sprint service up here is good when you have it , so basically they just need to add more towers & improve the calling quality .

Enjoy

 

Yupp , thats why im waiting if they disappoint with iOS 7 then im definitely gonna Jailbreak & that's my plan .

Sounds like a plan. How was ur trip upstate?

 

I know that much , but I don't want to Jailbreak , I lose my warranty for one , & im waiting for iOS 7 which is set for a summer release with the iPhone 5S

You can easily restore if something does happen. As for iOS 7, we will see what they update. iOS has plenty of potential.

 

 

Yeah thats one I give to the Android software FREEDOM , but imma stick with Apple , imma ride or die fanboy , but when iOS 7 well see what happens hopefully developers will have some freedom . & thanks for the complement I appreciate that

If u want instant freedom, u can just jailbreak. There are a lot of tweaks which really can customize iOS a lot better.

 

 

Nope, once all the towers have LTE broadcasting, it will almost be a 1:1 coverage between EVDO and LTE.

All or majority?

I get the same amount of bars. I'm thinking sprint is still working on the network. I can look out my Window and see Sprint Towers. I had solid 4G before just don't understand why I'm connected to 4G and 5 mins later back to 3G

It has something to do with being inside apparently even if u have full 5 bars right next to you 10 feet away outside

Near the Verrazano is some lte but that's as far as it goes I think

No prob, u seem very knowledgeable. I kinda wish I had a galaxy now, only to map sensorly. It's crazy in Brooklyn how many places that have LTE that are not on the map.

 

 

Yeah its probably ur house .

Anyway to force LTE? I know we both have iPhones and if someone Would know, it prob would be u

 

That happens sometimes cause when im outside my front door I get almost a full 5 bars as soon as i step inside it drops to 2-3bars & connections , where as when im outside the connect is better than usual . Sometimes it'll just be ur house the walls & stuff like that .

But I lose it completely when I go inside so that's why I think it has nothing to do with towers

When I had the EVO 4G and Epic 4G Touch there was huge difference in speed and strength between being by a window and 15 feet away from it inside my apartment. Lots of people complained of WiMAX's lack of indoor penetration.

 

That being said, just realized 3G is on the same 1900 band so lack of towers is more likely the answer.

So will LTE eventually work inside on a decent signal or how can it improve if there is already a good signal outside.

Ok I get it sortve. Is there a way to force LTE on?

Isn't it also because of the relatively high frequency of 1900? Not as bad as WiMAX 2500.

I was able to get WiMAX indoors before so that's interesting

 

 

That's because site density is not good enough. I am sure it was that way when Evdo first came out on Sprint. As more towers cone online you'll have a stronger signal, especially if the tower you are connected to for 3G is the same as the one you connect to for 4G.

Even though right outside my house less then 10 feet away I get 4 bars of LTE?

Kind of mad right now. I walk 5 blocks north, south, or east and I pick up a weak LTE signal but as soon as I get home, I lose the signal. It is at -124dbm when I reach the block my home is on and then it drops.

I don't think LTE will work inside your house even if u had a strong signal. I get LTE a very strong signal outside on my steps, but as soon as I walk in my house, the signal is nonexistent.

 

 

Right queens and Brooklyn are the most populated and they still havent even put one up they are working so slow

Going back quite a few pages. Wow have things changed!

Btw tons of places I was in today have LTE. If someone updates sensorly the map will very very purple

I love how as soon as I get to 20% LTE comes on im donee . But speedtest

Charge ur battery bro!

Rockland is really the beginning of upstate.

Rockland county has limited LTE

Lmaoo , we just got a little side wined , its fun to talk about something beside LTE at all times , only if you guys want to tho , & im bouta have that LTE today , im going upstate & the route that I take there is covered in PURPLE on sensorly im gonna be lovin it , I'll post speedtest .

Upstate newyork?
