well if that isn't a perfect example of "the bars lie", I don't know what is. -60 perfect LTE signal with ZERO bars. ;)

 

Now if someone would go over there with a Note 2 andtake a screen shot and show that to ks-man over in the Chicago forum to put that debate to an end too.

On Sensorly, Broad @ Tulane Ave looks hot. I wonder where that's coming from.

I'll check it out but all dark purple with no lighter purple before or after it makes me feel like it is Sensorly pollution. I was there earlier and couldn't find a signal. It could also be someone mapping on foot and not walking far enough on either side to get a weaker signal.

Could y'all explain Sensorly pollution for someone who is slow to comprehend?

What causes it and how can make sure I don't do it?

 

Grazie.

I will let someone far more knowledgeable than me answer this but the basics are a phone with a Custom ROM or known issue, like the Nexus,or bug misreports signal strength.

Don't waste your time going on Tulane. I knew it had to be a rogue rom. Sure enough, -115 is what I got there. It really is a huge waste of time running around hunting lte when people are using roms that may be using conflicting data.

 

I know everyone here means well, and we all have the same goal, but please educate yourself about sensorly, what it does, and how you can contribute bad data if you don't practice safe sensorly.

"Practice Safe Sensorly..." I see a t-shirt in the making :-)

This is the nexus <excuse the pun> of my question. I have a stock Galaxy Nexus (that I flashed back to stock by following instructions from some guy on YouTube/XDA), so I want to make sure that I'm not polluting with this phone as I'm about to leave the building and create a trail of purple plops down Poydras.

Will get that done for you. I know this guy who could hook me up with a PRL that would be on Verizon while on 4g or even no signal at all with 4g. ;)

I don't know what is wrong with the Clayborne site but the speeds i got today were worst than 3G, I'm disappointed that this is the second tower where i have experienced this. The Ping is also not what i was expecting 80+. I know the market is not launched and this might change, but we have been waiting for a long time we should be getting better results.

You should be getting better results? Really? Says who? They are still actively working. You are an early adopter in an unlaunched market. Your carrier is blessing you with early access. No other carrier would even allow you the privilege of using the network this early. You need to keep this in perspective.

 

Also, normal ping is under 90ms on Sprint LTE.

Where were you when you were testing? I have had nothing but great results when under -100 and good to decent results under -110.

I will trade you my downtown tower that Sprint refuses to fix. You get NO data.. No 3g signal at all! It's a constant dance of reboots anytime I go in the elevator and lose signal then come back out.

 

I think I am just going to start calling them every day until they fix it.

Yes stuck on traffic.

 

I am assuming you mean 90 and not i-10. No clue why it is slower up there though. Maybe that side of the tower needs work or there is interference. I would expect a lot of random things like this until Sprint is 100% done as opposed to 2%. Worth noting I just got a ping of 87ms, 3780kbps Down, 2238kbps Up, and a signal strength of -115 from my couch 15 blocks away from the tower (I am 3 blocks off of St. Charles). I will take that over 3g any day and at -115 those speeds are pretty impressive.

    • Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!
    • I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip
    • Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]
    • Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
