  1. Thanks Newboyx, looks like the closest 800 tower is 6 miles away North of Knightstown. there is another 800 tower in New Castle that is 8 Miles away from me. Probably too far for me to connect to.

     

    you should pick it up at the one next to the rest stop on the north side of 70 just east of greenfield. its mainly a east west signal along the interstate but i get it about a mile south of 70. 800 has been going for a couple months and steady for about a month.

    a good app is CDMA field test app it will give you the SID without having to go to your engineering screen and the BSID and will show it on the map. in Indy every tower BSID I have located have been spot on with this app.

  2. In this area it would probably be AT$T, CenturyLink, or Verizon. Not sure which one covers this area

     

    Down here in Greenfield it would be at-t. Ive had issues here the last couple weeks with connection and dropped calls. it was good before that for a couple of months then it went in the toilet again. i did notice that alot of the old equipment missing from the top of the tower like its been cleaned up. I think its time to take a trip up to it and get a closer look. i hope i see some flags on the ground.

  3. I had a friend, he went thru 2 or 3 Droid X's, and 3 Droid X 2's before he got fed up and got iPhone's for him and his wife. There were major problems with both of those phones. From that experience alone he will hate Android for the rest of his life.

     

    i couldnt wait to switch back to sprint last december and get rid of ours. i liked how they felt in my hand and were solid phones. they didnt have to have a case or i felt like i was going to drop it like our slim slippery gs3s. but the software left something to be desired.

  4. got some lte off the tower in shelbyville today while driving through. got a few dots on sensorly before i lost reception. i also got some shots of a tower in greensburg where i noticed they had a crane and could see it from the hospital i was setting steel on. had to drive by on the way home. there were guys working on the base cabnets and the tower racks. ill try to get the pictures on from my phone later.

    in the last month i have been getting minimum 1 meg up and sometimes as much as 2.4 meg up off this tower on 3g.

  5. just started getting lte in greenfield today. its in and out today obviously and its a good signal but weak speeds. with all the crazy coverage north of 70 in the open countryside i would think the populated area would get atleast as good of coverage. given any buildings in the way.

    this is tower that is in the center of greenfield that is in progress on the map

  6. Sprint coverage maps shows 4g lte on there website in area code 46259 indianapolis but this is not the case. What up with that.

    ive got the same thing in greenfield. im miles inside solid coverage but as soon as i jump off of 70 i loose lte after about 100 feet. they are saying they have coverage on towers that are just scheduled to be done. mine is in progress here in greenfield.

     

    once you sponsor and donate atleast 5 dollars you get access to the sponsor forums where there are updated site maps with progress. lots of info for finding out where your area might be at. you can find the tower and take a look and see where there progess is at.

  7. Yeah I went over to Dayton last night, and didn't have LTE at all, once I got a bit into Hancock County.

     

    But otherwise, I'm satisfied so far!

     

    i get great lte along 70. i have to toggle the moble data in the notification bar sometimes to get the lte to kick back in but it will go out past knightstown exit at 109 i know for sure. there are towers just west from greenfield along 70 and just east of greenfield along 70 that are putting out. i can also get it all the way out 40 till i get almost to the west edge of town. pretty much what sensorly shows. 40 and mount comfort of was getting over 30mb down along with i70 about 2 miles east of greenfield around the rest stop

    crazy thing is i live only about 2 miles south west of the one to the east of greenfield and barely get a signal when i check the debug and its not enough to get the phone to pick it up and connect. i just assume these are directed along the interstate and dont put out to the south because i can hold on to that tower for 10 miles to the east but not at my house.

    went to the one here in the center of town that shows in progress but there are 3 towers there within 100 ft. and there are no signs. gonna snoop around tomarrow and get better pictures with my camera and post them if they get the commercial area there in plowed so i can drive back there.

  8. Ladies and gentleman. I am pleased to announce......

     

    DANVILLE HAS SPRINT LTE. Strong LTE.

     

    I got outbof best buy and installed sensorly. Drove straight home.

     

    Should see my mapping sometime soon I hope.

     

    I also scored an S3 for a PENNY on a pricematch with Amazon. Also met a cute girl there too.

     

    Bedtime and will chat tonight after I get to work. This morning has been an ultra win for me.

     

    i did the same thing the week before when bestbuy had the 50.00 deal on all carriers. i left verizon to go to sprint for unlimited and had to wait about 3 hours but had them match amazon for a 1 cent on all 5 of my galaxy s3's on my plan. it was alot easier than i thought. walked out with 5 s3's and only paid a nickel. now i just need lte in greenfield
