I bet its coming from the Safety Harbor tower. I posted earlier that my friends iPhone had LTE from Racetrack all the way into Hillsborough County near Memorial.

That would be one powerful tower. I hope someone maps it soon.

Hi everyone, Sorry about the slow updates today. Sometimes we have to do a little maintenance and this one took longer than planned. When that happens new data received doesn't get added to the maps

Well looks like my time in Tampa is drawing near. I've been accepted to the Master's of Computer Science program at UNF in Jacksonville for the Fall semester. Now I have two NV cities to monitor!!

I was running Sensorly today using the Tasker app. Was surprised on the 618 Crosstown to get 4G at the Crosstown and Orient Rd as well as 78th St. Wondering now if that tower on 301 north of the fairgrounds is active, or if conditions were right to pick up from Bell Shoals.

I went home via veterans today I will check out the 301 tower tomorrow.

It's either Safety Harbor or another tower is active. Maybe the Tampa airport tower is broadcasting?

Nada on the Tampa Airport. I watch that roof at the Marriott every day watching for activity, as well as my phone. I'd be the first to post that as it seems like I live there.

should be Safety Harbor cuz I live in the complex just next to the mark in the map and I have no 4g at home.

I'm going now to do a speed test and to see is there is any difference between my GS3-cm10.1 and my wife's stock GS3. I will be back in couple minutes. Also I'm going to drive to the west to see if the 4g signal gets better.

I see an LTE hit on sensorly at USF. I was there today in that area but didn't notice any LTE. I find it hard to believe that it once again came from LoL.

Interesting, along with the hit I had today I wondered about the tower on 301 north but now wondering about the status of the tower off of Nebraska and Waters that has had its tower work done for some time now. Been busy at work or I'd get over there. Will be a few days though.

I'm going tomorrow so I'll run sensorly on my trip there and see what I pick up. I take 41 down to flecher.

Is everyone switching on airplan mode and than turning it back on?

 

I have found that in low lte signal areas that this forces the connections to be parsed, starting with 4g. If the 3g signal is stronger than the 4g, the phone will not change on its own.

It was probably taken on the top floor of SVC or Leroy Colins.

that's what I was thinking. I'll see what I can get on the top floor of the beard parking garage which is slightly taller.

 

I was there the other day with my Evo LTE and got nothing. I'll be curious to see if the GS3 can find any.

I'm also surprised not seeing anything in Tampa itself. I'm happy because my area is being done but does me no good if I have to keep making left turns for LTE either. Does anyone know what 3G/4G complete means on the 3G side?

It means that the 3G work has been inspected and accepted at this site. On a site marked 3G and 4G complete most likely has 3G connected to new backhaul. If it is 3G by itself, then it may not be.

It can be very difficult to get a device to connect to a specific EVDO site in an urban/suburban location.

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By cooltech6597 · Posted

      In China now and roaming on China Mobile with Google Fi/TMUS. 5G is enabled on roaming, however most areas in China have NSA disabled on the network. so SA is the only way to get 5G. This is only possible using a native SIM from the Chinese carriers. Also, LTE CA is disabled on basically every site, except for a few I've come across while on the bullet train.   I'm lucky enough to be in a small town where NSA is still enabled on China mobile, so I'm able to have a decent experience while roaming. Haven't speedtested much but it seems to top out at 300mbps over roaming on b3 + n41 100mhz. The networks here are dense AF and every site seems to have midband 5G deployed. Also, interesting to see that most sites have antennas branded by the carrier, or painted a certain color (which I haven't figured out what that means yet).

      My S21FE, which is my primary phone, has burned in quite a bit from SCP.  Not sure I could get a good picture of it, so I won't try.  Helpfully, since SCP allows full customization of app colors, I'm going to see if I can't undo it a bit by flipping the colors. https://imgur.com/a/QQr5Ncv We'll see how long my eyes tolerate the change... - Trip
