So here's the notification I keep getting..

It has happened at random times and even when I'm on wifi.

The signal will randomly fluctuate and then go roaming and I get that notice.

I have no idea how this happens.... It's a non rooted and up to the most current ota's

Is network vision going on in your area? I had this happen when they started here.

No because it's happening at my house which shows no improvements planned at all.

Mine has had intermittent 4g pop up but it's spotty as ****. This happened at my house which is nowhere near the 4g spots I know about though so I'm not sure. I do notice that when this happens in my pocket at work on occasion my battery is basically pouring out power and by the end of my shift it's dead sometimes and that's only 8 hours.

More that likely Sprint is working on towers in your area. Thats exactly what happened to me a few weeks ago, it keep popping up data roaming where I normaly got decent signal.

No improvements planned? Where are you looking for this information? If it's the sprint coverage tool don't trust that.. Jacksonville (where I live) has LTE all over.. Still spotty since it isn't everywhere but it's in alot more place yet Sprint's map shows absolutely nothing.

Well if your market hasn't been launched yet then spotty is all you can expect (if any coverage) for LTE. When it started for me only one section of Jacksonville had it and now it's all over in patches.. Looks like a rash on sensorly.com lol.

But yeah NV is going on in your area if you have seen 4g before so this definitely could be the cause. I have LTE in a good amount of places where I live just not at work yet but I know they are working on the tower at my work and this morning (while on company wifi) I saw the data roaming warning.. So This is probably why your seeing it more and more. I just wouldn't worry to much about it for now :).

As for others.. NV might not be going on in your area but you still see this... It could just be a network hiccup or something.. Who knows because we all know Sprint isn't perfect but I can say if NV is going on this is most likely the cause since they are messing with the hardware on the towers.

Yeah thanks man I was kinda assuming this upgrading was to be the culprit. Hopefully this hiccup means incoming improvements

I'm just outside of Gainesville which according to Sprint is not on the list for lte or network vision, also sensorly shows it as a non lte area.

I am getting the same message and then I began to notice I was getting 4g in places I wasn't before. I also recieved a message from sprint about problems they were having in the area (Houston). I believe that was secondary though since there was no service during some of that time. I do believe though that it is in response to network upgrades
