What is your LTE signal strength in dBm from your LTE Engineering screen? If you have a weak LTE signal, it may be impressive.

how do you get into the LTE engineering screen? I vaguely remember something to do with having the PRL(which I have).. i have galaxy note 2 thanks

 

edit: Nvm saw one of the stickys. its going between -113 and -115... that means the lte signal sucks lol -_- now i speed test again its only at 900kbps

How do you get an iPhone to show the dBm , i've always wonder . On certain pictures i've seen on here instead of having the bars in the corner they have the dBm showed in the corner.

go to your dialpad and press *3001#12345#* and call. Once you are on that screen, press and hold the power button until you see the poweroff screen. Once at that screen, press and hold the home button until you are back to the home screen.

According to Sensorly, LTE has been mapped up to a block from where I love but I don't connect and neither does my father's Note 2. My guess is someone got the signal and kept it for a long while but the signal is too weak for my phone to pick up on it from this far away.

Those pings are low but still kind of high for NV. Are you sure that it is not just a fast legacy tower? When I was in Nassau, I was in an area not even close to where the towers were on the map and recieved pings and speeds just like those.

So i finally have lte on my block! Except when im in my apt, it doesnt show up. i tried standing in frint of the window and still nothing. Wats good with that?

The signal is probably not strong enough to be sustained in ur house.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
