mc_gusto Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I've run sensorly several times here both at work and home and made more than one trip from work to home with sensorly running during the trip, and practically nothing has shown up on the map. I have a strong data connection everywhere i'm at, and I see it supposedly sending messages, but I've got nothing more than a single faint spot to show up at home, and that's it (i probably had the phone sitting there running the app for a half hour or something). I hear people talking about how they drive around and map all the time, but this just doesn't seem to work for me? Running a stock GS3 rooted. Are you mapping 4g or 3g? 3g hardly works for me. 4g on the other hand works all the time for me. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chong67 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Whenever I click on the "Report" I always get "Error occured". I never seen it working. I dont think the Legend help is working. What is the difference between light and deep purple color on the map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chong67 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 So what's the point of the test? I use it for sanity check. Sometimes you say 'oh I got LTE here' or 'oh I dont have LTE here' and 'oh I wasnt sure I did have LTE here before' etc. So data dont lie. It is put in writing. You fate is seal. Get it?

nobius Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Maybe the iOS solution is manual. Ask the user the number of bars and LTE/3G/. - seems kludgy, but would get better participation than a Cydia solution. The RootMetrics app works on both iOS and Android and let's you test signal only or signal+data, so it IS possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moropo Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Whenever I click on the "Report" I always get "Error occured". I never seen it working. I dont think the Legend help is working. What is the difference between light and deep purple color on the map? Same thing for me. Whenever I hit "Report", the loading circle appears and after a few seconds gives me the "an error has occurred" or something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollar Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The RootMetrics app works on both iOS and Android and let's you test signal only or signal+data, so it IS possible. RM might get signal strength from CTGetSignalStrength, which is undocumented. I am not aware of an API call to differentiate between LTE & 3G and that data appears to be what Sensorly users like most.

Not directly, but you can look at a specific hexagon (tap & hold then drop a pin) and see what the download speed was at that site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascertion Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I still can't get sensorly to record my area with data points. I've mapped them numerous times and nothing. I emailed sensorly and no support. I want to contribute but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm on stock gs3 (sph-L710). When I finish mapping the area, hit end and make sure I'm in an area with strong data so it can upload the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 2g/3g. I have 2mbps speeds on 3g at my house,which is where I stop the mapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryChimp71 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have arbitrarily checked this website over the past 24 hours and it is not loading. Sensorly is a free, non registration site, correct? Is the website down? Has been for a good part of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommym65 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Are other people having problems with Sensorly? I am unable to connect to their web site on multiple computers using multiple browsers, nor on my GS3 using Dolphin. When I run the mapping app on my phone, it counts points (Yay! I'm getting tiny amounts of LTE on the south side of Crystal Lake, IL!), but never updates points on the map, nor does it appear to transmit results. Anyone have any insight???????

I would assume they are having a problem. I haven't been able to visit the site for a day now. I don't know if this would be affecting the upload of collected data or not.

squigey Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 It's working fine for me. Maybe they're having some sort of routing issues from certain ISPs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The site has been showing up in French for me for the last few days until it went down, at least on my end. Perhaps it's related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squigey Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The site's been English for me, but the title/header says Cartes de couverture instead of coverage maps. I wasn't paying to close attention, but I want to say it started sometime last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 It'll flip back and forth, with no discernible pattern, but the whole page will go to French. Now, that's not a problem for me... but for others I would imagine it might prove to be annoying, if it's even happening to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
