I almost think there's repetitive information on this app. I think you could combine a few lines to have less clutter. Like this:

 

LTE: Band 26

RSRP: -100 dbm

Type (or Connection): FDD 5x5 MHz

UARFCN: 8763

 

It basically could eliminate the "BW:" line. Thoughts?

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

Thanks! I now have my newly unlocked old iPhone 5 that I can use for testing Verizon, so I'll try to resolve the bandwidth issue (as well as the inconsistent Cell IDs) this weekend.

Will do. I could use that space for the PCI, or I could combine it with the GCI line. Depends on how much new info I can dig up from the undocumented depths of the iOS CoreTelephony framework. :)

Well, we could take some sort of vote. After all, this isn't an app for only me.

Alright, I hope someone can help me understand these bandwidth numbers.

 

On Sprint B25 and B26, it reports the bandwidth as "25".

On Sprint B41 it reports "100".

On Verizon B13 it reports "50".

On T-Mobile B4 it also reports "50".

 

Currently I'm just taking the square root of these numbers, and that's what's displayed (that's why 7 x 7 is shown for VZW and T-Mo 10x10). Any ideas on how else to interpret these numbers?

This may work.

25BW / 5MHz = 5

50BW / 10MHz = 5

100BW / 20MHz = 5

Those numbers may work for those situations, but you should gather data from a 15x15 T-Mobile and a 20x20 T-Mobile/Verizon just to see if a pattern follows.

Trying to get a T-Mo wideband signal as we speak. No luck so far. I might just have to upload this version as many people are waiting to be able to download it.  :(

What details would you need? I could get engineering screenshots from VZW 20x20 band 4, 5x5 band 2, 10x10 band 13, and TMobile band 4 (not sure of BW in my area), and perhaps TMobile band 1.

 

Edit: on second thought I don't really know how to read the TMobile engineering screens, they're totally different than Sprints and VZWs, so I'll need some direction there.

He would need any 15x15 and 20x20 to get the reading. Unfortunately, I think unless you have the source code or access to the underlying core telephony files, you wouldn't be able to see the right measurement. Only Nahum has that right now.

Yeah, I don't speak in source code or core telephony files....I probably can't help.

Emails should have been sent out a couple minutes ago. Everyone who was waiting for their UDID to be added should now be able to download using the newest email or the "Beta" app on your home screen.

 

Also, thanks to everyone who contributed to get me to the Premier Sponsor level, I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the new beta. Looks good to see SID, NID, and BID now.

Welcome to premier. It's the least we could do. Thanks for the app. The new one looks great, and 6+ landscape now works great.

Enjoy being a premier sponsor...I spent five hours on the site in one sitting when I became one...

I just updated to the new beta. It is working great on my end. My wife and I just had a baby boy, so it has taken me a little while to get caught up.

 

So far so good! Keep up the great work!

Thank you guys!

 

We literally just got home from the hospital! Both momma and baby are perfectly healthy.

 

This is our first, so it's very surreal and 110% awesome!

 

Sorry for derailing this thread. ;)

I have never been able to really watch the bands switch before but last night going and getting take out was really interesting. No band 41 in Abq but 25 and 26 are everywhere. I didn't know that. Now I leave Notification Center down and bam I know!

      Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

      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.

      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.
