Sprint LTE Coverage Maps via Sensorly


Recommended Posts

That's why a number of us have stopped using Sensorly altogether. A lot of the information is outdated.

Sensorly was great to use back in 2012-2013 when LTE was still a novelty being rolled out for us to discover, but now I just expect LTE to be everywhere.

I still go out and map as new LTE sites go live around here. Though the final site went live with LTE last month, so now I'm not sure what to do... ha

I hope that Sprint is still adding LTE sites because I know too many areas that still have 3G only while everybody else is running LTE. Sprint has really dropped the ball on some of the high traffic freeways, especially the I-15 between LA and LV.

Nobody cares.  I-15 is closed.

Well, that happens every year, but have you every been able to enjoy your streaming on 3G while stuck in traffic. But with all honesty, I don't understand why Sprint has not managed to get LTE running. 1x800 been running for some time.

LTE coverage almost the entire way through. I would suspect in the next 2-3 months it'll be complete.

This is a year later. It’s complete! [emoji4] I know Sprint is going to be expanding a lot out West this year. I hope the Sensorly mapping picks back up!

How do you know Sprint will be expanding out west ? Do you have a source within the company ?

Was your donation over 6 months ago? Donations give members S4GRU Sponsor status for 6 months from the time of their last donation. After that, your account will revert back to member status.

As WuTang03 implied, yes, S4GRU staff has had (and still does) different sources within the company over the years. There is a wealth of awesome information available in the Sponsor, Premier Sponsor, and Honored Premier Sponsor forums. :tu:

Has anyone found that the iOS iPhone app actually successfully logs and reports coverage for Sprint?

I found that only the Android app works for reporting coverage, at least over the last month.

The iOS app does successfully log coverage—it just seems update the map quite slowly.

I have been having an issue with Sensorly mapping on Android Oreo which is new to my V20.  Trips map fine (when it does not crash), but results do not appear on map for new area of Sprint coverage.  Next time I will try on an older phone.

I believe I'm seeing the same issue on my s8 plus. The map hasn't updated and I've mapped the area twice now.

They’ve never responded when I’ve sent them emails either. Oh well.

I’ve since switched to using the Rootmetrics App for mapping and haven’t looked back.

I did a lot of mapping in Fresno last week and nothing has shown up. Is the app dead?

I've done a lot of mapping here in Seattle that hasn't shown up, so I stopped using Sensorly for mapping.

Sensorly  🤬 :realitycheck: IMO abandon ship.  Root metrics does it by hexagons.  Cellmapper is good when you don't have local market maps.  It has been having issues lately like Sensorly, but supposedly upgrading servers.

I've used Rootmetrics to do quite a few Hexes in the Downtown DC area and up into the Northwest stretches out to Bethesda and Rockville. It works well and updates quickly. When I'm out walking around, it actually encourages me to go some extra steps to get to the slow or blank hexes.

If you don't mind slamming your device or the network pretty hard and you're plugged into your car or a power brick, you can set the Speed Test to continuous mode.

Sensorly feels completely abandoned to me.

Just read through the google app store reviews and it looks like the app died 4 months ago.

 

Wish I hadnt wasted my time.

    • 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.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
