Very excited to see LTE underground on BART! I think they upgraded the DAS between Colma and SFO. I didn't get LTE underground anywhere else and the SINR was way too high to be coming from an abovegro

Got another B41 site with nearly maxed out speeds.   This is on Alameda near the Webster st tunnel.   Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Just had a friend come over to my office near 16th st and Bryant. Not only is he on NID 231 but on 1x800 too!

Did you guys catch the bsl on that 1x800 site? Interesting that it's not on Roberts mini map. But still good signs all around!

No, my friend didn't have signal check on his phone. Was looking at the engineering screen and it listed Secondary 800 as the band.

That is coming from the tower at 92 and 101.

So how do I use the iPhone field test mode to determine what site my LTE is coming from?

 

There's no way to do it from the GCI alone. You have to do some detective work, get close to sites (~-70dm) and note down which GCI you're getting as a site note in SCP. Some markets with more members crowd source this and have extensive GCI to site mappings, but we don't really have the manpower out here.

Oh whoops. That was silly of me. In the Field Test menu, the relevant values are Cell Identity [GCI] (unique across all sites), and the Physical Cell Id [PCI] (unique within your market). You'll have to manually track which GCI + PCI map to a certain tower since you're on iOS :/

Thanks last night I was trying to use the Cell ID against the maps but was confused why they didn't match up.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      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

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      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.
