great, thanks for the info. Before it would count both 2g/3g and 4g when connected to 4g, only 2g/3g when connected otherwise. It has always worked that way on my evo, from the first time I downloaded the app.

Hi everyone, we've been invited by one of your users to open a thread about Sensorly ( https://twitter.com/...890907013795841 ) so although I thought it was against the rules, I'll give it a shot. Ad

I have approved this thread. Sensorly is key to what we do and what we are all about. Welcome Sensorly!   Robert

before I updated my evo to this latest version of the phone software, sensorly would count both 2g/3g and 4g now it is only counting 4g connections? Is anyone else seeing this?

 

That is the way it should work as the EVO LTE can't really be connected to EV and LTE at the same time. It shouldn't reported as 1x either as that would be just wrong.

My GS3 and EVO both counted 2G/3G points while mapping 4G as well. I never really questioned that. I assumed it was mapping the 1x signal?

 

I don't have any LTE nearby to see if anything changed, at least until the Joplin site goes live ;)

My Note2 only counts 4g points even though it could physically monitor both evdo and LTE at the same time in real time due to the way the baseband is setup.

 

Might want to drop the Sensorly dev a note as he does come around from time to time.

In KC for the weekend. I'm fairly certain that my GS3 did record 2G/3G points at the same time as 4G before, but it does not know. Sounds like that was an update.

There is a big Grey area in queens ny. I thought the Grey was gone.

Someone apparently has a phone that reports "No LTE" to Sensorly. Only a few phones do that. Just means there's no LTE there yet. Once it comes online and someone maps there, it'll go away.

Sensorly,

 

I think it's time to put your app on Cydia ;)

 

I am excited that LTE is starting to light up in my area (not sure if testing or launching), but in any case, would love to collect data from my iPad!

 

Thanks!

Can Sensorly be run from an old Android phone that is no longer activated on the Sprint network? I have an iPhone but would like to contribute to the Sensorly maps when LTE starts popping up around here.

 

A friend upgraded to a Galaxy S4 but still has his Galaxy S3. It has no access to the Sprint network except for Emergency calls (911). I'm assuming Sensorly could still be installed via WiFi on this phone, but would it map LTE correctly without being activated on the Sprint network?

You could upgrade to the S3 ;)

 

Not sure, I guess you could try. You might get mixed results as AGPS does require data but maybe it could snag from wifi.

 

I do know on sites that are in testing mode kick me off as soon as data is attempted to be pulled. So you may run into sites kicking you off LTE when data tries to transfer on other background processes. Could end up with some very mixed results. Give it a try and let us know.

I think its certainly possible.. I have a couple of inactive phones that I use for testing, and most apps work very well using only wifi. I know SignalCheck works, so your S3 should be able to see signal strengths. Sensorly has a setting that allows you to only report data when on wifi, so you can try enabling that; hopefully it collects data all the time, and not just when on wifi..

I don't think it ever picks up lte. Someone in the sf market thread said it doesn't work. I think it was rwong48

He said it here. http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2225-Network-Vision/LTE---SF-Bay-Market&do=findComment&comment=140304

 

 

 

 

I tried already no LTE, not even eHRPD. EvdoA all the time. SignalCheck can't even see LTE.

 

 

 

At some point in the past, I mapped with my deactivated EVO Shift 4G. I was able to map WiMAX intermittently, but mapping WiMAX wasn't worth the trouble.

I was able to pick up and connect to LTE on my Galaxy Nexus and it's on seasonal standby. Can't use data on the phone even with LTE.

My past attempts to get unactivated devices to detect LTE have been unsuccessful. Just 1x. And then it won't even authenticate to that.

Sprint Customer Service is telling customers on Twitter to use Sensorly to look for LTE coverage! Pretty cool...

 

Sprint Care @sprintcare @Barretting 4G is avail and w/in 90days we'll have nearly the whole area covered. Pls try the 3rd party app Sensorly to see 4G cvg. -CRP

I am also anxiously awaiting a version for iPhone with reporting.

We have an iOS app that shows the maps and has the speed test stuff.

But apple doesn't provide apis for collecting signal strength and, although we have found some hidden APIs, they wouldn't be allowed on the appstore http://s4gru.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/sad.png

Can you make a Cydia app? You'd be able to use the hidden APIs.

i think the idea is to stay in apple's good graces and following their rules... im sure he could(make a Cydia app)

 but then they would be breaking the tos and then lose access to app store... kind of defeats the purpose...

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
