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?

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
