iOS has long needed an app to display info about the cellular connection- we have Field Test but it's rather hard to type in *3001#12345#* while driving. So, I made CellularInfo. Supports all iPhone

Some good news. planetbeing never replied, but I've gotten CellularInfo to work on my own on jailbroken 8.4 with some fake code signing and entitlement magic. The app is working perfectly. I can't say

Thanks for stepping in for me, AJ and Robert! The OP sent me a PM within minutes of you guys posting and PMing me as well. As I mentioned somewhere around here a couple of weeks ago, I'm not able to g

The code for that feature isn't enabled, no way is that working for you. You can see "B25", "B26", or "B41" in your status bar instead of just "LTE"?

 

 

 

 

It's supposed to, but I've never seen it say Sprint B41 yet. Maybe one of you will.

 

 

 

See the pics above. I think so? I don't know lol

Does this distinguish between sprint b41 and clear b41? I forget if you managed to work that out.

 

 

Anyways! This is awesome. Thank you!

Now I don't have to fumble with the field test mode code thing while driving and can just look!

I was going to stab something if I had to use field test one more time.

Is there a way to decipher the cell ID. I'm used to cell identity and just You're welcome know... Not knowing anything else because it's iPhone haha

I just suggested he add a "0" in front to make it the true GCI. First 3 (or in our case as of now, first 2) are the market id, next 3 are site id, and last 2 are sector id.

Nahum365, will this work on other carriers, or just Sprint?

It should work on all LTE networks. Also works on Verizon EVDO. No GSM support yet.

Bandwidth measurements are incorrect. Working on that now. Usually works fine on FDD LTE though.

No more Field Test!!!! This is a God-send.

 

In the first hour of having this app installed, I realized straight away that my G3 holds onto B41 much much longer than my iPhone 6+. I never noticed this before, because I could never catch this in time using Field Test.

I would love to see the settings moved to their own section, with the text being larger and on a black background with white text. It's kind of hard to see the gray/white section in the app.

Interesting... I realized from this that my iPhone kills my Nexus 5 in B41. Seriously isn't even close. About 5-8 dBm better in all locations which gives me a lot better coverage.

My G3 is slightly better at B41 in signal strength, but what really surprises me is that the iPhone 6+ will drop to B25/26 while the G3 is still latched on to B41. Both of which have usable B41 signal (-110 to -114dBm).

 

The G3 reports about 1-3dBm better on B41. They are almost identical on B25/26.

 

I could never have noticed this without CellularInfo and for that, I am extremely grateful!

Awesome once again man. This is sweet! My family and I happen to be in downtown Chicago this weekend so it's neat to see the phone hop all over the place. A little surprised that it shows I am sitting on a clear tower though!

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
