nmartine3 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Was it a Profile or PRL update? Both are pushed to devices periodically to make sure everything is up to date. Profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JossMan Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Anyway with spark very close to launch in Detroit, you soon won't have to make excuses for sprint anymore [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm not making excuses for Sprint, 3-5Mbps is solid enough to do tasks on a smartphone or use as a hotspot, etc. Some people in rural United States would rejoice to get those speeds with a wireline connection. Meanwhile some complain they are not getting epenis speeds... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think you'd see at least ONE multi megabit speed test by now since many other people in this thread have reported them all over. If you can $5, you can become a sponsor and have access to precise sprint tower locations to have a better chance of finding 2.5 According to premier sponsor schedule maps for Detroit -AA, sprint should be very close to their 6-month upgrade timeline for 2.5 ghz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteSnow Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm not sure how you guys deal with Sprint up there. Every time I've been to Michigan anywhere near Detroit, Canton, Oak Park, Romulus, etc... LTE doesn't work worth a damn. I have to switch to 3G to get working service. Ann Arbor is nice though, Cleveland is still a lot better in terms of LTE speed and usability. For all I know it might be an issue with my phone being provisioned in another market. Can I get any conformation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I get any conformation? PRL update always helps. It's what I had to do in Florida to get LTE reliability. But yes, LTE really isn't that reliable in the Detroit market, especially Detroit. At my house I'm on 3G most of the time. It was excellent in Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, LTE really isn't that reliable in the Detroit market, especially Detroit. At my house I'm on 3G most of the time. It was excellent in Florida. Any improvement in "LTE reliability" that you see after a PRL update is likely by coincidence. It does not change your service or what market your device is provisioned for. You probably saw an improvement because your mobile connection was reset after the PRL update and it forced a rescan of some sort that put you on a better connection. You can simulate the exact same thing by turning on airplane mode, waiting a few seconds, and then turning it back off. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyHooten Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Well, where I'm seeing Band 41 in the Downriver Detroit area (not much, but some), things are looking promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With B26, you will have better propagation and in-building penetration as it is a lower frequency. No band 26 in east michigan in the near future i think.....

Yeah, I did that to get better LTE service but it was still shoddy at most. I switched to 3G only and it worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteSnow Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 When I went back to Oak Park on Wednesday I ended up getting better speeds. Around 5mbit/s which is more than fine. I didn't have to switch back to 3G just to use data this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
