    Oh you must also include the fact that this is not the Hello Kitty forum too.. Preferably without any wordsmithing

    LMAO I almost peed myself reading this....

    Don't let AJ know that your using that much data per month...lol

    Shentelians are lucky! I have never experienced a hyper band handoff from 1900 to 800 during a call. In my market my experience is that the call will drop on 1900 before ever being handed off to 800 even as of late. Usually as quickly as i can redial the number my phone has acquired 1X 800 and the call will stay on 800 for the duration.

    I realize this is quite an old post but I just finally came across it. I was actually the one who mapped the area in question as this area is part of my daily commute. The Sensorly data was accurate back in 2013 and you should check that area out on Sensorly now... Band 26 has filled in the coverage quite nicely. But to answer your question, the signal mapped at that time was band 25 coming from the Cornell rd/Dawson Creek area. A coworker and I mapped almost all of the initial Sensorly LTE data for Hillsboro and areas to the west.

    Well the sites in my area were mostly NV 1.0 complete between Feb and Aug 2013. I ask the question because I have recently started to notice an additional panel mounted on the Sprint rack next to the NV 1.0 panels on a few of the sites around here. I did a quick site visit to a couple sites and saw no new cables from the MMBS. I need to revist with a pair of binoculars and a DSLR to confirm what this additional panel is. Hoping for 8T8R!

    Does an 8T8R installation at a previously completed NV 1.0 site require a new set of hybrid fiber cables to be run from the MMBS up the tower to the 8T8R RRU's?

    I have Clearwire for my home ISP. HughesNet is my only other option for high speed internet but one I will not entertain. The local telco promised DSL in their entire footprint when our area was sold off by Verizon but they ran out of money and stopped upgrades 3 years ago. I am no "power user" i only use around 10 gig a month on unlimited plan. Its been fun but I have accepted the fact that the ride is over at the end of next year... KnarfOH you should do the same.

    Thank you to MrZorbatron, Dkoellerwx, and everyone else as I learned quite a bit about tri band network and device band selection behavior.

    Wifi calling works great on Galaxy S5. Calls connect instantly, faster then when connected to the macro network. Texts go thru instantly too. Battery life is better on wifi calling too. I made a 70 minute call on wifi and the battery only decreased by 5% during the call. I guess I better plug my airave back in for a while so I dont get a notice in the mail too...

    I visited the Vegas strip 2 weeks ago and can attest to the variable service from Sprint. I am not going to rant on that the service was terrible but they do still have some work that needs to be done there. Most of the service problems I encountered were when I was outside on Las Vegas Blvd. Most major hotel/casinos have some sort of DAS inside so signal was better when inside. The strip with its tall buildings is definitely a challenging RF environment. I should also mention that my friends AT&T Iphone 5s fared even worse, usually no data download speed at all and numerous dropped calls.

    And just for reference the lock code on Samsung devices for the ##DEBUG# screen is 777468

    The *#0011# dialer code works on my Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710)

    Having a CDMA site at the highest point in town isn't always the best for RF planning as it can cause interference for the other sites in the cluster.

    I will agree that MVNO's are good for Sprint financially and that Sprint has enough spectrum to go around. But do they have enough CDMA 800 spectrum to host all these MVNO customers, all the people with custom PRLS to access SMR only and still have enough for everyone else? Remember there is only enough spectrum for 1 CDMA 800 carrier nationwide.

    Well AJ you are correct, instead of ranting I should have just stated that the UCF won't benefit me or others in my area. Our local telco was bought out years ago by Frontier with the promise of extending dsl throughout their rural footprint subsidized by the UCF. Needless to say those plans have been scraped as they have run out of money.

    I too am a Clearwire home isp sub and have been for 3 years. I am a rural customer, actually I am out of Clearwires service area and had to fib a little on my service address to sign up. Unfortunately for me there is no other broadband option except for satellite which is an option I will not entertain, The most data I have ever used is 8Gig in a month. I use more data on my smart phone than I do at home each month. So I guess my only option is to ride this out until I get the service cancellation notice from Clear/Sprint which will be the end of home internet access for me. I should quit paying the universal connectivity fee since its doing nothing for me... Very sad considering the big push for rural broadband and last mile connectivity.

    I personally don't think MVNO's should have access to 800 CDMA. It should be reserved for all the loyal Sprint post paid customers. We pay a little more every month to enjoy premium services like this.

    What band class is listed on the debug screen? Band 1 is 1900 and 10 is 800SMR

    I happen to be running my airave with Clear Wimax which airave team said wont work because of latency but it works just fine even with UL speeds of only 1Mb at best. Like everyone says call Sprint and have them send you a new unit.
  21. superbluepsd
    My airave did the same thing when I first got it. I called sprint and they had not provisioned it yet. Sounds like yours is provisioned if its listed on your account. I had to unplug the power from mine a few times before all the lights finally went green.

    I did post a screen shot of my LTE engineering screen while connected to LTE on the mystery Sylvan tower last Friday in the Washington/Oregon forum.
  23. superbluepsd
    Check out sensorly for Hillsboro. A coworker and I have mapped most all of the live LTE areas to date.

    I work for a national firm that has Sprint DAS and uses Nextel for PTT and Blackberry service. We were advised by Sprint/Nextel last summer that we would need to transition to CDMA devices by June 2013. It doesn't appear there is any hurry to switch us to CDMA, we haven't even started testing new devices yet even though iDEN goes dark June 30th.
