Posting the gps coordinates of that app is really pointless honestly. It does not tell you about what site the LTE is coming from. Only way to do that is with LTE engineering screens and track which sites are what in a spreadsheet like some markets are doing. Just have sensorly running with map trip started. Much easier to see on a map then see some numbers. Here's Sensorly after I just left the area. Keep mapping folks maybe we'll find additional sites. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Speedtests are really irrelevant except for troubleshooting a site. Do some real world stuff, YouTube, etc and see if the data is fine. As stated earlier by another, YouTube is darn near flawless. Can't wait for expansion. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Uhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm should I be trusting Sensorly here? Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I didn't have a chance to force 800mhz as I don't believe I have the correct PRL to force it. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I was there a few minutes ago. Literally right underneath when I pulled my information. You may want to check to make sure you have LTE enabled. I'm getting LTE at this second. (Went to K&G). Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Here's my contribution for the day. My PRL is 2000 for those that want to know and I did map out some new purp. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Are you saying you're seeing LTE at Lancaster Ave & E. Broad?

No you don't. LOL. The 4G LTE isn't worth all that.

That's what I was thinking.

Thanks sir. I may try later as well.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Love it! Anyone planning on trying to do some mapping today/tonight?

Do you know if you were connecting to the Hilton or Morse Road?

For those not following the Network Vision Site Map - Ohio Markets & West Virginia thread. Columbus has it's first approved LTE site: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/682-network-vision-site-map-ohio-markets-west-virginia/page-11

Curious what you get on other test servers. I've never had anything but high ping and low speed to their Columbus test server, on WiMax or on cable. Have you done the proxy server hack? Could be that too. If you think that every request is routing through a slow as molasses proxy server then it makes sense. I'm envious of your download speed because more often than not my DL speeds are 300-500 kb. I'm still wondering why Sprint hasn't enabled a VPN connection from the handset to their NOC via WiFi like T-Mobile does. It's so much more enjoyable to use the handset when you don't have to wave the sucker around to send a text or play the silver man when you're talking and find a good spot, don't move! No other changes than what Digi made to his ROM. Honestly it was extremely rare that I pulled that much on the download there. I'll check again later this afternoon. Sidenote: I have no clue where that tower is on the Hilton property. Can't even find it on Google or Bing bird's eye. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Sucks when you have a decent signal and data is completely unusable. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Just found out a little information. From what I found VZW announced LTE for their first LTE sites at CTIA, March 2010. Launched around November 2010. Ohio was a launch state for them, But other than 1 Indiana city, none of the rest of the Midwest was covered. Kansas City was announced as a launch city for late 2011. So with Sprint starting in Kansas and Missouri I see (keyword: I) see them busting ass going outward. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Speaking my own opinion only. I don't see a delay or it taking too long. It's a situation of us knowing "too much" of what's going on in the markets. Some like to compare the Sprint LTE buildout to other carriers, but we have no clue how long prior to announcement those carriers started work. Also, as Previously stated, this is a COMPLETE network rebuild, not just replacing cards and panels. I still believe you can hold Sprint to the 2013 timeline. At least for Columbus. It's June 23rd, not December 31st, 11:59PM. Folks, no disrespect to you, but you chose the red pill of S4GRU.com. You should have took the blue one of ignorance.

If they completed the tower and antennas with no back haul that's exactly what you would experience. Not the norm though. Speeds should be in the five to ten meg range. What's your ping time of you don't mind me asking...? Ping was around 60 ms. It was really disheartening to see such slow speeds. On the plus side, before I left, the speeds in Grove City were back to near normal. I had commented in this thread a couple of weeks ago that Grove City speeds were practically nil, but before I left for San Francisco, they were up around 0.5 - 1 Mbps up and down. Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk HD I'm pretty sure SF just started LTE a short while ago, so they're not up and running strong yet. I'd guess those are normal until a city launches.

I'm hoping this is the case, but it may be where they're just firing up 800SMR as I don't see iDEN holding up LTE on 1900. For all we know, NV 1900 may be up and running but due to no backhaul, we're not seeing any difference in data reliability/speed. My voice service has never really been a problem in my area, but data has been completely unusable at times. My argument on reliable is similar to when you have a strong WiFi signal at home from your router, but your modem isn't sending the connection like it should.

My guess is that it's a Ericsson RRU behind those panels. So I'd have to say no and I believe the Panels/Antennas used on Samsung setups are made by PowerWave.

This is a complete guess, but we can't throw a 800mhz signal across the border due to whatever federal restrictions there are, but the 1900 is okay. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Netmonitor looks like an okay app. SCpro offers most of those features, if not all. I personally like SCpro because it seems like it was designed for Sprint. And I spend $1.99 every few hours on food, so why not support an App Dev that supports S4GRU. Just my opinion.

You should dl signal check pro so you can pinpoint exactly where sprint towers are. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Beta Best money I've spent on Android. It's the best because it's the only money I've ever spent on an app. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

That sounds about right - I have a friend who works a local CO for AT&T and he said that most of the cell companies that they are building out right now are still requesting older tech like T1s rather than ethernet, which is what he said that they'd rather put in at this point. He didn't say if AT&T provides Sprint with tower connectivity, however. I would think it would be whoever is local and cost effective? That confuses the hell out of me for two reasons. 1) Why pay to have T1 ran when you have to go back and pay for fiber to be ran. 2) All the permits I've seen for Sprint mention fiber optic. I know permits have a 1 year expiration but I haven't seen T1 permits. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I was in the Dublin-161 area today. Seen a few towers with new Panels and RRH/RRU's. Getting excited for the future. Couldn't see base of tower for new cabinets and speedtest didn't result in increased speeds. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
