Ok I'm confused.. How do you add a picture (without trying to juggle between the KBs of image space given on the forum. I tried Flickr (not allowed)' date=' ImageShack (not allowed).. Anything allowed????

:([/quote']

 

I use photo bucket.

I got my first 4G indication on my Galaxy SIII today, but it doesn't seem to hang around long. This is in Round Rock/Brushy Creek/Austin, TX.

 

We also just got a Radio/Firmware upgrade on the SIII today.

 

So, I hope(!) this means good things :)

Please run the Sensorly app the next time in this area so we can plot the location. This is great news! Thanks!

Ok, I've loaded sensorly, and tried(!) to report when it was showing 4G, but it's having a hard time.

 

Ideas?

Success!!! It is now on Sensorly: http://sensorly.com/fullscreen/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint

 

We have our first Austin LTE confirmation there in Round Rock. Yeehaw! Thanks for uploading it.

If you get a chance to drive around with the Sensorly app running to plot the area, we would be very grateful! Just click "Map Trip" in the lower right hand corner of the main app screen and then hit the start button. Make sure that points start counting up in the 4G section.

Will do when I'm out and about tomorrow (I'm on vacation this week). Was VERY surprised to see the 4G indication from the phone :)

copy and paste this into google maps and zoom in. you can see they were working in the site with a truck in the driveway. i have a hunch this is the tower the LTE came from. 2250 1/2 Park Pl Cir, Round Rock, Williamson, Texas 78681

Would make sense, as I'm just north of there. Although NetMonitor is saying 2409 Mockingbird Dr

NID: 22 BID 2209 -78dBm

 

1) Netmonitor is telling you the CDMA 1x sector radio you are connected to, which is not necessarily the LTE site.

 

2) Even for mapping the CDMA towers, the coordinates reported by Netmonitor and similar apps may not be the actual tower site, but rather some distance offset around the tower. See this short primer on that anomaly.

 

ATX4G's hunches have been fruitful before. Since you are a sponsor, I suggest that you explore S4GRU's Sponsor-level map in that immediate vicinity and look for the precise location of any Sprint towers. (Commenting on those details should be confined to Sponsor-level forums here, not this public Network forum.)

 

Then explore around any such tower on the ground. Running Netmonitor or CDMA Field Test in conjunction with the S4GRU sponsor map can help you determine if this is the tower where your CDMA 1x connection really is. Then, if you still are getting an LTE signal, you can explore the vicinity with Sensorly to record the LTE connection.

Already looking into the 4.1 sdk to see if there are updated methods in the telephony class to handle LTE tower coordinates. We will see..

Doesn't Sensorly upload automatically when you stop mapping a trip?

When you hit stop, Sensorly puts the data collected in your queue. Depending on your Sensorly upload settings is when it will upload. Because you can have it set up to upload only on WiFi or when using mobile networks.

 

I've lost data in the past at times when at the moment Sensorly went to upload, my Sprint data was non existent and would lose the batch. So when I am doing a large amount of drive testing, I will send small batches every few minutes. That way if I lose data, I lose a small segment and not a whole afternoon of drive testing.

    • Checked just now and found a 56MB GP System update pending...will follow up after install.    Edit:  Confirmed that this one moved from August to September 1 after updating.
    • Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
