Okay, here are almost all of the screens available on the iPhone 5's Field Test function. All of these were taken at one time just at the foot of the Trophy Club, TX water tower, right behind Sabre HQ off of TX-114.

 

IMO, this is a strange location for a tower, as Sprint also has a 300 ft tower less than 2000 ft away. My assumption is that this one is designed to serve Westlake's Solana complex just across 114 -- but I can say that I can't get LTE over there.

 

I ran SpeedTest, RootMetrics and Sensorly -- quite a variation, but all were fast:

 

Test Date: Sep 24, 2012 1:58 PM

Connection Type: Cellular

Server: Fort Worth, TX

Download: 8.31 Mbps

Upload: 8.91 Mbps

Ping: 177 ms

 

External IP: 66.87.97.6

Internal IP: 30.120.181.6

Latitude: 32.9863

Longitude: -97.1672

 

(The field test images will follow later in this thread).

It's hard to believe that performing one speed test on Sensorly used 45 MB of data.

Is that another iphone thing as other screen shots and such look fine?

No, I composed on a PC. It's probably the hosting service (imageshack)

and resolution I selected.

As an S4GRU research request, I need several iPhone 5 users in Sprint LTE coverage to post screen caps of the following Field Test screen:

Tracking Area Code must be visible in the screen cap.

 

Then, at the same time and location, do likewise for CDMA1X with SID and NID visible in the screen cap.

 

Any takers?

Easy peasy. Any hints at what you're looking for?

      Quote from wsj; "The T-Mobile deal could be reached as soon as later this month, while discussions with Verizon on a separate transaction are expected to take longer or might not result in an agreement, the people said." "The rising value of wireless licenses is a driving force behind the deal. U.S. Cellular’s spectrum portfolio touches 30 states and covers about 51 million people, according to regulatory filings." https://specmap.sequence-omega.net/

      From WSJ which is paywalled but they're reporting that T-Mobile and Verizon are working on a joint deal to buy and split up U.S. Cellular. https://www.wsj.com/business/telecom/t-mobile-verizon-in-talks-to-carve-up-u-s-cellular-46d1e5e6?st=qwngrnh4s3bcr76 — — — — —  Summary from a user in the Reddit thread:

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By iansltx · Posted

      So, in summary, here are the options I tested: T-Mobile intl roaming - LTE on SoftBank, routes back to the US (~220ms to 4.2.2.4) IIJ physical SIM - LTE on NTT, local routing Airalo - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer SoftBank), routed through Singapore (SingTel) Ubigi - 5G on NTT, routed through Singapore (Transatel) US Mobile East Asia roaming - 5G on SoftBank, routed through Singapore (Club SIM) Saily - 5G on NTT, routed through Hong Kong (Truphone)...seems to be poorer routing my1010 - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer KDDI), routed through Taiwan (Chunghwa Telecom) I wouldn't buy up on the T-Mobile international roaming, but it's a solid fallback. If you have the US Mobile roaming eSIM that's a great option. Otherwise Ubigi, Airalo, or my1010 are all solid options, so get whatever's cheapest. I wouldn't bother trying to find a physical SIM from IIJ...the Japanese IP is nice but there's enough WiFi that you can get a Japanese IP enough for whatever you need, and eSIM flexibility is great (IIJ as eSIM but seems a bit more involved to get it to work).
