Read again. I didn't say anything about SignalCheck Pro.

 

Never said you did sir. I was saying, that your instructions to obtain information using LTE Engineering screen is more reliable than relying on SignalCheck Pro.

If you're having problems connecting to LTE and you know you're near one that's working, and you have your MSL code you could always go into your ##DATA# menu change your Others>HDR/1X selection to "LTE Only". Obviously don't forget to change it back to "LTE+CDMA+EVDO" or whatever mode you were on before.

 

Can someone check what there phone displays... Make sure mine isn't jacked, couldn't pick up lte yesterday when everyone else was...

If you've messed with bands in the phone info setting this could cause it.  Only way I could get back was to do full stock install from the stock flash and then I did the factory reset back to zero as in requiring a hands free activation.  Not sure which one did it.  Also if you flashed your own basebands through out the life of the phone I know there were a few of just the modem and not all the other NVRAM pieces too.  Bad zip files there.  Could be a complete mess as you don't which ones you are missing now, not sure if you can go back to the beginning and start working up from there.  It's also the EVO LTE which does have issues with LTE.  A couple guys in our market had issues with theirs not connecting to LTE, not sure what the store did to fix it.

Just got back from testing off morse rd. it popped up right as I got off 270 and kept rolling all the way to i70 and popped up here and there on my sprint ipad all the way to 270 and 23 very weak up there. It was great! Have a note II so I'm not sure if I can get 800 yet I know Note II had a prl update to remove 800 until they could get the compatibility issues resolved. Wow!

I HAD to drive up to Morse Rd area this afternoon to test the LTE.  Way out of my way but totally worth it.

 

Only had a few minutes to play around with but followed Digiblur's advise and took a screen shot of the Field Test.  Wasn't able to get all three vectors but this is what I found:

 

Physical Cell ID:  203

Cell Identity: 140556802

 

This was from an iPhone 5.  Let's all compare what Cell ID# we see over the next few days and confirm that it's just one tower (which is likely is).

I mapped the SE purple (Easton Way) it was weak obviously (111) as it dropped before I could complete screenshots.

I've never messed with the settings before... I restored one of my old roms and will attempt to get lte again tomorrow.

Cell ID 203 above plus yours showing 388 means two confirmed towers, right?  :frantic:

No. I assume this is a three sector site.

Has anyone said if this is 800 or 1900? By the covered distance it looks like 800 and no downtilt on the antennas.

Few problems there. Nextel isn't shut down yet nor do all of you have 800 LTE devices.

That's more than 169, but like you said before, we don't know the intervals they're using for Columbus. Only way still to know is if someone goes to where we know all 3 sectors are pointing and gets those numbers, then goes to one of the previously marked areas and checks there.

Or if someone drives around the site with an iphone and snags all three screen shots. That phone shows both style numbers. And the long one should increment by one from north to clockwise around the site.

 

I really don't know if your market equipment has a set interval on the three digit one. You guys will have to figure that one out.

I'll make a run out there in a minute with my Note 2 to see what I find, once I watch a little more of the draft.

I make sure someone else drives after I get done watching the draft.

Hi everyone,

I didn't map anything as per request of someone on here due to my use of a Galaxy Nexus and some inherent flaw within. However, I did snap a couple screen shots near my house in North Linden. (Around Ferris and Cleveland)

 

I didn't get a chance to speed test it before it dropped off, but here they are.

    • 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.
