Sprint LTE Coverage Maps via Sensorly


Recommended Posts

Every time I set to "no contribution" it resets to Passive. Not right away, sometimes its a couple days, but I will notice it running again even though I told it not to. This is on my GS3.

When you set it to "No Contribution" and start a map, there's a popup that will reset contribution to Active when you touch "Ok".

I've never ever had the case of Passive setting itself back on by itself and I've tried over multiple days too. Are you 100% sure ? Is this consistently the case ?

Yes, it happens regularly. I'm not sure what triggers the reset, because there doesn't seem to be a set amount of time before it resets, but I do notice that every couple of days by battery levels will crash, and it's because it has reset to Passive and is mapping in my pocket.

 

In fact, checking just now it has used 24% of my battery today, and is once again on Passive mode. Though I know I reset it again a couple days ago.

Is that a real 24% or is that 24% of the battery drain of the day ? The Android OS shows the latter and it's confusing to users.

 

Send me your anonymous id to contact@sens.... and I will investigate.

It must be of the day, because it has gone down since it said that.

That's the map cache getting you. I have seen two different maps on two different devices side by side. Just have to drag around and zoom in and out to get it to say loading on the tile layer.

There's no caching on the servers, there's an eternal cache on the device until you exit the app and there's a 30mn cache on devices between app runs.

Are you ready to release an iPhone app now? The iPhone 5 is jailbroken. I'd be ever so grateful if you did. :)

I got some 4g data points yesterday in zip 34769 but they are not yet showing on the maps. Is there a delay?

 

On the map I did see readings from a street not too far from where I was. I am not sure if my GPS reported corectly.

 

Any ideas?

If you are running a custom ROM where the dev thought it was cool to change the carrier info, the points will never show up.

 

Negative.. Stock version. No mods.

I am sorry, I wasn't pacific enough. In the drop down box, there is Sprint - 4g and Sprint - WiMax. Is that 4g just LTE?

 

Again, what is the Sensorly app and hen will it be available for iPhone?

Apple decided for you that the app is not worth while.

This doesn't work with internet explorer 10. It does but it has an error message overlaying the screen

 

Can u do a print screen image or tell us what the error is? I currently use windows 8 which comes with ie10 with no problems. Have you tried any other browsers?

Do you have a link that proves this is the case? I'd love to read more about this.

No source needed... it's been known that Apple doesn't like that app and Sensorly had to neuter the first go around, maybe Apple decided to kill or maybe Sensorly decided it was time to kill it since it wasn't worth it since it wouldn't map and would stop people from asking when they are going to make it map.

    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download.
