Ive found that the main battery drain issue is to turn off push mail, and instead have it pull once an hour. The other tips are good too of course Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

I had the theory that 311-490 was somehow the network code for Sprint's LTE network on B41 (2.5GHz) ..that was just a not- thought-out hunch I had. -
A question re the EVDO signal. Does the radio have its own identifier, or its only the 1xRTT radio that produces it? Im guessing the latter, as Im lead to believe that the EVDO network depends on on the 1XRTT network in order to function in the first place? I'm just thinking out loud here..
-
I'm sorry. I misunderstood what the app could do. You actually interpret potentially sectors for *both* the 1xrtt and the evdo network. But my particular htc phone only supports the site hint method ie exposing the 1xrtt sectors. Am I guessing correctly? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

On my HTC Evo 4G (Wimax) phone, the app shows me in the 1XRTT display area the sector. Im blessed with this since I have an HTC phone, right? (1XRTT first group, then followed by EVDO grouping/ display) So no sector info from the EVDO radio... But when I read the Change Log its says: "Added option to display EV-DO sector ID (only for HTC devices at this time). (Pro)." Makes me wonder which is correct? The change log or the app?

Thanks Mike. I was a bit too wordy, yet you understood what I meant: best guess is that my phone evo 4g wimax seems to spit out bogus evdo ecio values Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Yes Im seeing in it Signal Check and other apps show the same too. The 1x signals Ec/Io value seem very much sane. Question: Is the valid dB value range for Ec/Io approx the same for both EvDo and CDMA1x signals? ( I'll say approx -1 dB through -15 dB ?) Anyone else here with a Evo 4G WiMax phone? (latest stock ROM 2.3.5) . Interestingly enough, from the HTC Engineering screen: it display the same/ sane 1x Ec/Io value...but..when you peek on the EVDO Eng. screen such an entry does not exist. So Im still wondering if Ec/Io data value is just bogus/ useless.. It doesnt hesitate to show -226, -258 as some more examples) I'm thinking that this perhaps is more than just a decimal error. I can't tell..

What the deal with my EVDO Ec/Io values, on my EVO 4G Wimax phone? After reading a bit on this...a typical 1XRTT connection (EC/Io) value I have -10.5dBm (range supposedly "sort of" -1dB very good and -15dBm is awful, Im lead to believe)... Now the question: my EVDO connection's Ec/Io is displayed as changing alot, some values: -31, -68 -128 dB and I can't make sense of it.. In other words I cant find any reference on its typical range. Any tips?

You're teasing me, lol. . (Im OK with that!) So you mean that this didn't happen because of me updating the phone, but I just was lucky to just catch a Sprint NID change due to "Sprint Vision".....at the very last minute? .."enquiring mind want to learn.."
-
What happened with my local NID numbering scheme? ...I seem to be able to tell that the main NID / my area now is 234, seems to represent generally/ approx San Francisco North Bay area. Well, my early records (before updating** the phone: Evio4G WiMax ) the phone was saying the NID was 9....hmm.. Now I dont see the 9 NID anymore. Makes me curious...what do you guys think happened? ** I did two types of updates (the phone had been in a drawer for a year, and friend just recently gave it to me. I activated it on Ting) a) Updated the PRL from 60794 to 61098 Updated the Sprint/ HTC Android version fr 2.3.2 to 2.3.5 ...did one of these two updates cause the NID change to occur? ..Any insights?
-
Is the SID NID number shown the EVDO network or the 1x network? The big main SID + NID number combination for my area, San Francisco North Bay region, seems to be 4183 + 234. Can anyone say it thats represents the CDMA1x or the EVDO network? (I have a EVDO connection) In the app its shown in the "top 1x signal area" of the apps screen. Hope my question makes sense?
-
I believe I stumbled on a site here in Sonoma/ Calif that does that as well, with 23009, 23010 and 20311.

Thank you do much. Yes the CID is short and correct. On tmo they like to reuse the cid number from the 2g/gsm network so now you know which physical location you're connected to. Last digit is the sector often 1-3, or 1-6 or 1-9. If six through nine has been added to the site you know you have a 3g connection on the pcs band Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks guys. Im learning as a go. So the app only identifies the CDMA1x network if I understand correctly? ..not the EVDO network? or am I still confused? I think I do understand that those sites are also transmitting EVDO of course, but that info isnt necessarily available in Android. By the way the BSL location is dead on, which is insanely nice. Else to Mike: on my GSM phone, yes your update fixed the "long CID" issue when on 3G/HSPA connection. I can read it now.
