Hey all.
How's the 4G coverage in the SF Bay Area, specifically in the BART subway system in downtown San Francisco and in the transbay tube (underwater tunnel)?
I ask because a few years ago they wired the subway and Verizon gets a good 3G signal underground now, so I am wondering if they wired it for LTE also? If you commute through this area and have a TBolt or VZW data card, do you get LTE in these areas?
I'm considering a TBolt and I work in downtown SF and commute via BART, so that's why I am asking. Thanks.
im in the same boat as you. in the city in buildings 4g coverage is excellent. In the tunnels you will get only 3g. I am suprised at how good the coverage is in the east bay. I have 4g all around, in valleys and pretty much everywhere (excepy my house which has no signal ever
anyway, no 4g in tunnels.
4G work EVERYWHERE I've been in the bay area. I been in East Bay, San Bruno, San Fran, Palo Alto, San Jose, etc. Only issue is that 4G sucks battery fast. I've disabled it and run 3G to get all day battery life.
VZ's 4G coverage in the Bay Area seriously rocks. I get coverage EVERYWHERE!! all the dead spots i had with AT&T are gone.
Been to South Bay, East Bay and SF. never lost 4G even once and building penetration is very good.

Looks like someone needs to update their profile
Anyone have an idea when LTE will be available in the San Fernando Valley? I don't understand how AT&T could ignore two-thirds of the City of Los Angeles?
On HSPA+ I'm getting about 5-6 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. But part of the joy of owning a One X is its LTE capabilities.
It's weird that Verizon did the SFV with their LTE rollout, but AT&T ignored it. I think if you head south to ventura blvd/405 area, there is LTE.
I asked this question as I live here too. They said since they have 50ish towers out here they're doing them all and don't expect it done Until the end if the year.

Well, it's about the end of the year and no hint of LTE in The Valley. Usually you hear people mention brief spottings of LTE service as the towers are tested before the official launch. In Santa Clarita, I saw Verizon LTE service full time for two weeks before VZW announced it as officially available.

There is no LTE service anywhere north of Sunset Blvd, according to their coverage maps.

The Valley's less than half of the actual city's population these days. Either way, they may be ignoring the ~1.75 million residents of The Valley, but when you consider the ~13 million in the LA/OC county areas, most of which are covered now, AT&T's proudly calling LA an LTE city and not in any rush to finish up it seems.
On the brighter side, I've seen reports (and photos) of new LTE compatible panels on AT&T towers near Balboa & the I5, and even up in Santa Clarita near Lyons and the I5. There's also a completely new tower someone's thrown up at Devonshire/Reseda, hopefully it's AT&T LTE.
LTE in the San Fernando Valley
LTE is finally rolling out in the San Fernando Valley.
I was in North Hollywood, Reseda, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, and Encino last night and all these places were covered in LTE. Signal strength was great and download speeds are amazingly fast. I live in Sherman Oaks and I'm seeing speeds as high as 30 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up in my home. I was seeing 5 down in NoHo, but that may have only been because I caught the beginning of the rollout in my area. Very exciting.
Note: I have a friend that lives in Northridge that claims she did not see LTE out in that area.
Dear XDA community
I have a D821 device and since I started using mobile data I noticed that I was having a very unusual issue. I was getting only 2G and 4G signals with greek carrier COSMOTE GR & VODAFONE GR. Max signal on cosmote was Edge and when on 4G coverage 4G. On Vodafone I'm getting GPRS only. Any member had any similar issue and any solution to Fix it? Can it be a software issue or hardware?

I think that this is just about coverage and signal strenght of your providers.

My carrier works just fine on my z1 compact with hsdpa+ and 3G so that's what concerning me
@VER5Uz
Xperia has better radio then our devices. My son use XperiaU and he get better signal then me in areas with low coverage. Also my wifes N4 is better in this.

So it's just phones antenna not receiving good. Damn I'm on that issue over 2 months and I'm getting so mad having so slow speeds. Is there a utility to confirm if the antenna is not malfunctioning
Buys an LG device, gets crappy LG antenna lol
Change modems and see if it helps.

Yes you're good to go( southern texas)
Good to go in Las Vegas NV on both ATT and TMobile
Good for TMo & AT&T in Austin, TX and Bay Area, CA
Getting mine today .. AT&T Honolulu ..
works great - popped the sim in and went right to full bars!
I'm on ATT in NYC and I am on the 2nd week on BLU Pure XL. I have Note 4 Tmobile and Note 3 ATT.
ATT LTE coverage is just a hair below that of the Note 3 ATT but overall the radio on the Pure XL is better than both Note 4 and Note 3.
I rarely lose LTE, maybe some spots I get 4G HSPA instead of LTE coverage here is decent..
Dayton Ohio here.... On cricket(at&t network) and coverage seems to be good
Just curious about everyone's thoughts on how it's running on TMO specifically.
I've got band 12, so I'm happy
Send to be running smooth, love the permissions manager, and the adoptable storage
Installed 6.0 on tmobile when soak test came out. Been running smoothly and have band 12 and VoLTE all working. I'm really not sure why they holding the update for Tmobile..
Slow data speed on band 12
Anyone else out there getting less than 5mbs dowlad & upload on Tmob band 12 Android 6.0?

5 is max on band 12
I'm getting 9.94 Mbps on T-Mobile band 12 I'm in south Florida if that makes a difference.
Sideloaded update today, on TMO in central VA, no issues thus far. Can't confirm band 12, not around here yet from what I've seen.

Well, my LTE signal drops to H and 3G when making or receiving calls. Enhanced 4G LTE mode is on. I'm in Miami and I can connect to band 12. Any idea of what could be the problem?

Hi there,
Would you mind sharing where the settings for Wifi Calling are? I can't seem to find it.
I updated by removing the SIM (tmobile).
Thanks

WiFi Calling and VOLTE are two different things. WiFi calling does not appear to be available at this time, and the VOLTE setting was default to "on" for me... it is in Settings/More/Cellular Networks

Ah thanks. So I'm guessing the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" is VOLTE.
Thanks.

That's not surprising. Band 12 is primarily for coverage rather than for capacity. In most (all?) places, T-Mobile has more spectrum available for LTE on the AWS (Band 4) side, so it will usually be faster. But AWS, being a higher frequency, doesn't have as good building penetration or spatial reach as Band 12, so you'll get coverage where you wouldn't with Band 4.
Anyone have trouble sending or receiving mms with hangouts?

There's a hidden WiFi Calling setting that some apps, like Nova Launcher, can launch. The on/off switch moves when you tap it but it's not hooked up to anything on T-Mo
Anyone else experiencing choppy phone calls? Seems the first minute or so of a call the person on the other end sounds extremely choppy...side loaded the OTA and running it stock / rooted (no Xposed either)

I'm having the same issue with T Mobile in the Atlanta area. Every certain amount of calls the audio is choppy. So I'm seeing a large improvement in my signal strength I'm not seeing band 12.

I'm in Metro Atlanta too ... I am seeing Band 12 though. Overall signal stays with LTE much more!
