iPhone Field Test Screen

By hitting *3001#12345#* Call you can get into the Field Test Screen for the iPhone.

 

A bunch of screenshots were posted by a few different users in http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2040-bars-lie-for-lte-signal-strength-how-to-determine-your-actual-lte-signal-strength/page__st__80

I'm wondering what are the useful numbers from these screens for determining different information.

 

Clearly the number in the upper left hand corner is useful as it tells you your signal strength (I believe it is for 1x RSSI but that might not be the correct technical term so I'll edit this if somebody corrects me).

 

I'm wondering if from these screens we can also determine other useful info such as cell site connected to, LTE strength, winning lotto numbers etc.)

 

Pretty shocking that Apple lets us get at this screen without JBing so let's put it to use.

If you want to keep the dB reading, do the following:

 

1. Make a call (i.e voicemail)

2. Tap the add a call button

3. *3001#12345#*

4. Hang up

 

Doesn't seem to work..after pressing the "return to call" green bar at the top of the screen, it switches back to the signal bars.

You can call *3001#12345#* to bring up the field test

Hold down the power/sleep button until you get the power off screen

Hold down the home button until you return to the home screen

 

Now it will work. You can toggle between numbers/bars by tapping them.

BTW, if you try saving *3001#12345#* into one of your contacts it won't work when you tap on it to dial, BUT you can tap-and-hold, press copy, and then paste that on the Phone Dialer screen then tap send to get to the Field Test screen.

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download. 
    • What do you see with the latest alpha/ beta version?
