4G LTE (i mean, 1X) in Morgantown, WV

So, now AT&T has rolled out 4G in Morgantown. I also read that U.S. Cellular, a mediocre regional carrier at best, is rolling out 4G in Morgantown next month. And, where do we stand with Verizon's 4G LTE in Morgantown? Oh yeah, we don't have a clue because Verizon is hush hush on everything they do. I'll continue to enjoy my super fast 1X (sense the sarcasm?) while a friggin' regional carrier (U.S. Cellular) rolls out 4G before the mighty Verizon Powerless.

Well it happen's and that's why it's all ways a good idea to look at the maps to see what you are getting as 3g/4g gos.
I think unless you have unlimited smart phone data. You should jump ship, if they can't fix it very soon.
I know If I only had 1x, I would jump ship.( Yes I have had to deal with 1x, sprint LIKE 3G and AT&T throttled LIKE 4G LTE so I know how it's like.)
Sorry they did not even put up some kind of 3G even over there.
Good luck with what ever you do about it.

  • 3G, 4G, and LTE Data Network on iPhone 5

    When an iPhone 5 on AT&T or T-Mobile loses LTE in a limited coverage area, it reverts back to the 4G network. When my iPhone 5 on Verizon loses LTE in a limited coverage area, it reverts back to 3G. Why does Verizon have 3G instead of 4G when it loses LTE on an iPhone 5.
    I've also noticed that the iPhone 4S from AT&T and T-Mobile shows the 4G network icons while the Verizon and Sprint's iPhone 4S shows the 3G network icons.

        Let's see what's going on with your service Roal! How often are you seeing the network toggle back and forth from LTE-3G? LTE and 4G are the same; therefore, if you're seeing LTE, that means you're getting 4G. Some phones display 4G, some display LTE, but I assure you, both are the same. Also, do connections start after 8AM, or before 8AM? This could be because the network is getting heavier usage after a certain hour so connection isn't as strong. How does it work outside the home after this hour?

  • Yep ... 4G LTE is a myth

    I get it.  Extended, "fringe area," no guarantees, colors on the map, etc.
    BUT I can take my phone anywhere within 50 miles of non-extended, supposed 4G LTE coverage and I STILL get only 3G on my HTC Thunderbolt (and we have TWO of them.
    I am TIRED of the excuses, explanations, cross-blaming, and downright attitude of "you bought it, it's your problem now."
    Sure there's a disclaimer ... but an average person (non-technical) doesn't realize that until you actually have the 4G in your hands, and you're reading Verizon's emails, time after time, that the bottom line is 4G LTE was a marketing technique that worked for Verizon.  The customer?  Not so much.
    I was better off (and my phone bill would have been cheaper) if I just didn't listen to Verizon.
    By the way, we've been Verizon customers for 10 years in CA, 8 years in PA, and almost 3 years in NC.  Does that matter?  No. 
    Now that I've sunk more money into Verizon, I will just have to wait until the contract for these phones runs out ... and severe our long-term relationship with Verizon for good.

    mcpopp: I can sympathize with your frustration. Even if you were in a full 4G coverage zone, tech support will generally blame your signal.  After I called a number of times to report 4G outages, the VZW coverage map was updated such that I'm now in an Extended 4G zone.  Yes, a tiny square right over my 10 acre property is now Extended 4G, while all surrounding zones are still full 4G.  It's quite ridiculous.  VZW does not guarantee anything signal-related. It's easiest for them to just change their coverage maps.
    Here's what might help your situation: Download an app called LTE On/Off. Then, using that app, switch your Preferred Network Type to "LTE mode."  This will force the phone to ignore the 3G signal and instead look for 4G. If it can't find 4G, then it will (unfortunately) switch to 1X. But, many users have to do this to force the phone to attempt a 4G connection under weaker signal conditions.  If, after you switch it into LTE only mode, you still see a 3G icon, then relaunch the LTE On/Off app, and make sure the setting actually took. (Sometimes, you have to choose "LTE mode" twice.)  If it still doesn't work, reboot the phone and try again.
    Now, if you find that you still can't get a 4G signal in LTE mode (meaning it reverts to 1X), take your phone outside (highest elevation possible), and try again. Perhaps near a window on the second floor (if one exists) will help.
    If that still doesn't work, you might try the setup shown here:

    Best of luck, and let us know how things turn out.

  • Verizon, Why did you label the Charge as a 4g phone?

    Verizon employees: Please read this message and forward it to your supervisor/appropriate higher up when you finish reading/responding to this.
    Ok, I'm going to say it straight up, I am extremely angry at vzw for the following:
    False advertising, care free service making me go around in circles (restart phone, factory reset, exchange phone for another charge, told to wait for software update(that doesn't solve the problem)) and not willing to help their customers.
    My Samsung Droid Charge has issues with the 4g. I live in a 4g area so I know it's not a coverage issue. When my phone is set to CDMA/LTE, my phone does not load the internet or send/receive picture/multimedia messages, yet when my phone is set to CDMA only mode, it works ok. That's fine and dandy that the phone works on CDMA, however, I paid for a 4g phone and pay for 4g services, I shouldn't have to use CDMA only. I have gone through and done all that circle process over and over, I'm not going to do it again, I want a solution that will work, even if that is a new phone (not another Samsung Droid Charge). I'm tired of waiting a year for that update that will make my Charge work on 4g, it should already work on it or not be called 4g (and sent a refund to all Charge owners who paid for it expecting a 4g phone). Y'all labeled it 4g LTE, not "4g LTE capable" meaning it HAS it, not WILL have it. I'm tired of it, and want a phone that works like it should. And don't blame Samsung, y'all are the ones who market the phone for them and marketed it as a 4g phone, if they did so y'all did, that's y'all's problem and y'all are responsible for it since y'all did not test it and back it up, it's clear y'all didn't, look and listen to the other charge owners.
    By the way, I'm posting it on here not only because I can never get through to a human representative when I call customer support as a machine can not custom help you, but so every other Charge owner can see why it's a 4g phone and how to make it a 4g phone, or that they will have their problems resolved as well (or that we will be ignored). They have the right to know and have their problems fixed(including another phone that isn't a charge) just as much as I do.

    Alpengeist,
    Take a look at this. 
    From the Home screen touch Settings then touch About phone.  Go up and down that page.  Do you see the same things as shown in the attached photo (4G Signal strength)?  For example what is your 4G LTE Signal Strength?  Notice that mine was -101 dBm.  Also does yours say:  In Service???
    Now at the top of that page touch Status and go down that page.  Do you see the same things as shown on the other attached photo (Baseband-Kernel)?  I ask because maybe your phone is not on the latest Firmware version 2.3.6 or the latest Baseband version or Kernel version which is FP5.
    This is a long shot but I am VERY puzzled by your phone not being able to use/lockon to 4G.  One other thought here:  drive over so you at about one block from your 4G tower and see if it will lock onto 4G.  NOTE:  if it's a Verizon 4G tower the 3 vertical antennas will be about twice as long as the other vertical antennas on the tower.

  • Help with Magellan Compass please

    I have Magellan compass. Bought it, can't get it to work but am persevering. Can anyone tell me how to get to a place on the map. I know where I want to go. A camp site for instance, I know the location, I can see it, but I do not know the site name or the co-ordinates. I try to mark the position by touch (as with other navigation programmes, and tell the programme I with to navigate to that place), but Magellen gives me no option to do that.
    The manual is worse than useless. Lots of information how to use poi, but what if you don't want to go there? I just want to select a place and navigate to that place.
    Hope someone can help

    It's too bad you're having so many problems with this app. I love everything about it. I think your expectation levels are out of line actually. It's NOT a SAT NAV device like a dedicated GPS unit is - keep that in mind. You use a Wi-Fi device right (not LTE) Which means you have to initially have Wi-Fi to download and cache your maps, or else have a smartphone with Wi-Fi connectivity to do things on the fly. Also, you do realize that when BlackBerry 10 starts to ship you will be getting some form of BlackBerry Maps from Tom Tom on the PlayBook right? So if this particular app isn't for you, then wait for a while until the new stuff comes out with the new OS.

  • Minimum height div, but fluid maximum

    Hi, I would like to make my web page as fluid as possible, to
    allow for text increases etc...
    so if I have a div, which lets say is fixed width, I would
    then like that div to be no less than 300px in height, but then
    allow no maximum. the only reason I am unsure on how to achieve
    this is because if i'm correct, certain browsers do no allow the
    use of the min-height style...
    am I right? if so, any guidance on how I can achieve the same
    result would be great thanks

    .oO(simbull)
    >Thanks, I can see how that would work: What is the actual
    code to comment out
    >ie code and check if its ie please?
    I use something like this in the document's head:
    <!--[if lte IE 6]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/ie6.css"
    type="text/css" media="screen">
    <![endif]-->
    This will be interpreted only by IE, for all other browsers
    it's just a
    comment. The 'lte' operator means lower-than or equal, so the
    stylesheet
    will only be included in IE 6 and 5, which was the first one
    with
    support for conditional comments. There are some other
    operators
    available:

    code is, but is that a

    In CSS the '>' is a child selector (see the spec for
    details). This can
    be used to hide a certain rule from IE 6 and lower and some
    other old
    browsers, since they don't support this kind of selector.

  • New to Apple world, 2G/3G/Lte working in ios8 (in India for all networks)

    Hi guys.....
    I am a great gadget lover, I have been using android and smart phones but now I am new to Apple.
    I possessed an Iphone 5C 16 GB on 24th Oct.
    I am here to clarify with a good news for the people of India regarding 2G/3G/Lte toggle, especially Airtel customers.
    Yes, ITS WORKING 100% now after updating it to iOS8.
    Yes, its working and even I am a Airtel user.
    Its neither an operator's problem nor an Apple's.
    Just read below.
    Very interesting fact that Airtel has launched 3G in India few months back, but I dont know about other cities but in Kolkata Airtel doesnot has its own 3G tower, it is using Vodafone's. So I am going to share all the experience I had today morning before having my Iphone with Airtel 3G.
    Please note I have provided all the information below for Airtel users and after updating it to iOS8.
    I was also not getting Airtel 3G.
    Firstly, I took a Reliance GSM sim which I converted it to nano sim and then plugged in my Iphone, it gave me an option of 2G and 3G and ofcourse LTE. I used choosing 3G for 5-10 mins and it was fine. Then there comes the question that why not Airtel working the same way?
    Then I used my other android phone and plugged my airtel sim in that phone and I found that there was no 3G in it also. Then I contacted customer care, he noted the problem and transferred the call to his senior. He then further clarified that Airtel doesn't have its own 3G tower and they use Vodafone's.
    Here the steps you need to do- (on that same another 3g featured android phone)
    1. Plug your Airtel sim in that android or any other 3G featured phone and check if your geeting 3G coverage, if yes then sim is ok then the below steps will not be useful.
    2. If no 3G coverage your getting in the phone then follow the below steps.
    1. Go to mobile network settings
    2. Select manually instead of automatic and wait for it to search all the networks.
    3. Then you will find Vodafone 3G or Vodafone IND, select that.
    4. It will be configured, so now turn on your mobile data and see the new H or 3G icon will show, that means 3G is working on Airtel now.
    Now comes steps for Iphone-
    1. Now you plugged that same Airtel sim back in your Iphone.
    2. Go to network settings and similarly select manual network and then select Vodafone IND.
    3. The phone will update itself taking 1-2 minute and it might also restart if required.
    4. Thats it, your done, now you will see your phone will show Vodafone 3G instead of AIRTEL, thats it your done.
    What I believed that senior executive had done was registered my AIRTEL SIM on Vodafone's 3G, might be but I am not sure.
    So now sad days are gone, Cheers and Enjoy .
    I just love Apple, thanks Apple lovely Iphone and awesome features and everything..

    Tell Apple.

  • How can I creat a security system for a truck, with Wifi camera playing on iPad/iPhone without 3G/LTE ?

    Hello,
    I want to create a wifi security system for a truck with cameras, but all the ones I found are IP. So I don't know if it's possible to use it only on wifi (not on 3G/LTE).
    If you have an idea, it will be nice...
    Thank you

    that range of most wifi setup unless you want to pay alot!
    would likely mean you could see about as much as the camera from where you were standing
    a mifi or otherwise something which bridge a lan to the internet would work
    make sure the camera have a webserver in it and then you can see it from any web browser where you put in the login and password

  • IPhone 6 Canada Rogers will work on USA T Mobile LTE?

    Hey All,
    I have an iPhone 6 with Rogers in Canada. I'm moving to the States in a few months and I would like to know if I will be able to use my iPhone 6 with T Mobile's LTE service.
    Rogers said they will unlock my phone for INTERNATIONAL use. But I'm more concerned if the phone will work on T Mobile's LTE.
    https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    Here is a list of LTE bands that work for iPhone 6's and 6 plus, but I do not know what they mean.
    If anyone could let me know how this works, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    Don't count on it.  Read the iPhone AppleCare agreement.
    <http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/applecare/applecareplusnaen.html>
    "4.1 Hardware Service and ADH Coverage Area.  Under AppleCare+ for iPhone and AppleCare+ for iPad, Apple may restrict hardware service and ADH coverage to the country where the Covered Device was originally purchased."

  • The service provided by the Samsung SCH-LC11 Mi-Fi device, and/or the 4G LTE service, is unusable.

    I got the Samsung SCH-LC11 Mi-Fi device and 4G LTE service from Verizon about one week ago here in the Chicago area.
    (Note: the first thing I did was update to the latest firmware (EF07) per the Samsung website.)
    I am using it with my AT&T iPhone 4 with "Cellular Data" on the phone turned off completely.
    I ran all the speed tests, 10 megabit up/down, wow, great.
    Unfortunately, there are at least two major problems with it:
    1)  I noticed almost immediately that push emails stopped coming to my iPhone after a few minutes.
    After looking into this in more detail I realized the following:
       a)  The modem inside the Mi-Fi device is being assigned a 10-Net / "carrier-grade NAT" IP address, not a real Internet IP address.  Fine, I don't really care as long as it works.  I am not trying to use a VPN, or do VoIP, or run some webcam somewhere.  In other words I'm not a "revenue leak" in Verizon "parlance" (I worked at Motorola during the OBEX fiasco days), but it's nice to know I'm being treated as such right off the bat.
       b)  The "carrier grade NAT" appears to have a TCP timeout of no more than two minutes.  I verified this by opening a telnet session to somewhere and not typing something for two minutes.  After the two minutes I typed another character, but it never got echoed back and the connection was dropped.  After waiting only a minute and a half, it lagged a little but sprang back to life.
       c)  Problem is, push email relies on having an open TCP connection that is idle the vast majority of time.  When an email comes in, the Exchange ActiveSync server sends a message back out to the device (over the existing connection) saying the mailbox has changed.  Unfortunately, after two minutes of idle, the "carrier grade NAT" has dropped the translation entry a long time ago, so the connection is dead.
    So I emailed support about this.  (the ticket is "WFM87599752").
    In the first round they told me to go look in the device's settings @ http://192.168.1.1.  Yeah, did that already.
    In round two, they blamed the dormancy timer.  That's obviously not it, since the modem is layer two and knows nothing about TCP at all.  Just to be sure though, I performed the test again, but this time I had a DOS window pinging Yahoo repeatedly so the modem wouldn't become dormant.  Problem still happened.  I saved the Wireshark PCAP here so anyone can see:  http://home.comcast.net/~abcbwtxyz/two_minutes.pcap  Frame #339 is where I try to type again, never to hear back.
    2)  The other problem is that as soon as a second person connects to the Mi-fi device over Wi-fi, the first person gets dropped almost immediately, and can't even reconnect again afterward.  I mean, really?  Made this video to illustrate:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iadz4DGXFRM
    So, can someone help?  I know I'm not the only one having these problems; I sent the support alias the following links just as examples, there are many more:
    http://himself.wordpress.com/2011/04/30/verizon-wireless-issuing-private-ip-addresses-to-3g-customers-class-a-nat-joy-and-gross-ineptitude-verizon-wireless-3g-fraudulent-enticement/

    http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-tech-support/101185-droid-x-verizon-3g-assigning-10-nat-ips.html
    -Chris

    So just to follow up on this.  I called to cancel today.  The CSR wanted me to talk to tech support about my problems and talk me out of cancelling so I said fine.  Summary of conversation:
    1)  Immediate acknowledgment that the two minute timeout of idle connections is by design, and no dispute that it breaks push email.
    2)  Disagreement with the claim that a second person logging on kicks off the first, even though I offered proof.  Dismissed my point that other people have seen the same exact thing, saying that if you look up problems other people are having on the Internet, people say anything and everything.
    Anyway, I continued with the cancellation; to their credit, they waived the activation fee and credited me for "time served", so I won't owe anything.  I did appreciate that.

  • IPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem

    I have the 64GB iPhone 5 in white on the Verizon network.  Each day at a random time LTE will have a problem where I can't make a facetime call.  If I try and run a speed test either my up or down will not complete the test.  The only way for me to fix the issue is to toggle airplane mode and as soon as my phone picks up the Verizon LTE signal I can make a facetime call.
    I have done some troubleshooting on my own and here are some of those steps and results.
    I contacted Verizon and they "rebuilt" my line in their system.  I'm not sure what that means, but Verizon assured me it would fix any issues in their systems. 
    I have the issue on LTE only, 3G and Wifi have no issues with facetime and complete speeds tests every time without issue. 
    LTE in my area is a full 5 bars and when I'm not experiencing this issue I typically get 10-20Mb down/up
    I contacted AppleCare and they suggested I do a reset.
    I tried a reset on "Network Settings"
    Nothing above has made any progress so tonight I'm trying a full reset on the phone per AppleCare instructions.  If that doesn't work I was told to take the phone into an Apple store.  The only issue with that is the 1 hour drive one way which I'm trying to prevent.
    If anyone else is having the same issue please speak up or point me to a fix you have done. 
    Thank you,
    Tom

    I appreciate the heads up on the other thread but I'm not experiencing the same issue.  My LTE signal stays at 5 bars and doesn't drop to 3G yet I still experience slowdown and can't complete a speed test or surf the web.  Video services stop etc, so my data is effectively gone on LTE until I toggle Airplane mode or turn LTE off and use the 3G network.
    For anyone that was following this thread its worth noting that I did a full restore of the phone and I still have connectivity issues on LTE. 
    Dialing *3001#12345#* on my Verizon iPhone5 brings up "Field Test" mode which shows my LTE signal strength at -82db.  After spending a little time on google -82 seems to be a decent signal strength and is reinforced by 5 bars of signal strenth.  I don't think the issue is with Verizon's network as they report no issues and the signal appears to be good. 
    At this point I think I will be scheduling an appointment at the Apple Store.  I'm very weary of driving an hour since the issues crops up at a randomly during the day.  I'd have a nagging feeling that everything will be working at my appointment which will have to be scheduled a few days out.
    Oh well I'll update this thread once I have made some progress.

  • LTE coverage Rockville, MD??

    Recently moved to Rockville, MD and signed up for the iPhone 5c with Verizon.  We'd been living overseas for a couple years so I was excited about my first spin on LTE.  Unfortunately, so far I've been very disappointed in the coverage.  Most places I only get 2 or 3 dots/bars of coverage...never 5.  But the worst part is going into buildings.  Just about any building I go into the LTE drops down to 1 dot/bar at best.  Many places it goes to 3G or 1X.  I've been surpsided by how many places I drop to 1X.  , which is totally useless.  Also, even when I'm in 3G it's basically useless for data or iMessage etc.  My wife has the 5c as well and has the same issues, so it's not just my phone.  It's basically useless in most stores if I need to look anything up while shopping.
    Does anyone know if Verizon plans to do anything to improve penetration of coverage into buildings?

    One thing to note is that even though the LTE frequencies Verizon uses, specifically 700Mhz C Band are of lower frequency than the EVDO Frequencies, the LTE signal is often weaker due to a few factors.
    1: With higher capacity over a set of spectrum, the signal is less tolerant to noise and degradation. This is why Wireless G, for example is extremely stable in speeds over long distances but Wireless N tends to be all over the board, despite operating on roughly the same spectrum.
    2: With more devices connecting to LTE over the EVDO network initially, the effective range of a tower decreases. This is due to an increase in the noise floor caused by many devices, poor antenna configuration, and spectrum contention and overhead used to avoid severe problems with the network.
    3: In wooded areas full of pine trees, the pine needles are structured in such a way that actually degrades the LTE Signal moreso than the other frequencies. This is due to a harmonic that is generated when the LTE signal has to go through pines.
    Also note that if your phone is connecting to the AWS spectrum, this doesn't penetrate air and buildings as well as 700Mhz C Band does. As a result, you'll find a lower effective signal but one that delivers better performance. Bars are not a total indication of performance and quality, as a result. Any building which is metal, structured in a weird way or is made of concrete will greatly reduce any wireless signal and should have a professional repeating system installed by Verizon or another contractor.
    The fix for poor signal is better tower density, optimization, and antenna configurations. In addition, this means less dependence on "Range Extenders" and more dependence on repeating systems that synchronize with the rest of the network.
