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.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
    • Same with factory unlocked
