Before network vision starts in Hawaii Maui etc. here is a 'Decent' Before Network vision speeds 5/5 3G Strength 
They arn't Decent Everywhere...

Are you standing next to a tower? That's better than I've ever had lol

No i'm about a mile away from the tower funny thing is the signal is a bit jerky..

if i turn south i drop to 3 bars and i get WAY less than that lets hope NV fix's that signal inconsistency throughout the entire island :)

I was in LA recently. See attached. Hopefully we'll see speeds like this. But I noticed the LTE coverage was spotty. And I am assuming that the towers weren't under a heavy load, hence the speeds I got.photo.PNG

A little better at our hotel in Vancouver WA

Post your LTE signal strength with your speedtests otherwise they are pretty pointless.  I could go to an LTE site that is in the middle of no where and have a -70 signal and easily hit 30 megabits.  I can drive to the fringe of that site at 3am and would be hard pressed to pull a megabit of download speed. 

 

The Iphone shows the LTE signal strength which you can see is full bars which is why he has such a good upload as well.

That app only shows your 1x connection.

 

You will need to post the LTE engineering screen or use the SignalCheck app found in the play store (written by a member here at S4GRU and highly recommended)

Look at my status bar.  I have a -79 1X signal and -99 LTE signal.  Based on info that I know of my area my 1X is coming from a different site than the LTE is which is why the big difference in signal.  I can instantly see that with the SignalCheck app in my status bar.  You can also see NetMonitor is incorrectly reporting the 1X signal strength as the LTE signal. 

 

Another thing I see is someone goofed up your carrier info on your phone to Morphology..some developers think that is cute an all but all it ends up doing is pissing off Sensorly users.  You'll drive around for an hour mapping out the fresh new 4G LTE site only later to find out that none of your points went on the map due to that messed up carrier customization.

I could see a -100 signal pulling a 5 megabit signal or so which fits with the average 4-6 megabits download as that signal is average.  -105 it starts to fall off with -115 start waving buh bye. 

 

That LTE (Morph..) is killing me on your screen.  Just remember there's no point in using Sensorly unless it says LTE (Sprint) there as Sensorly will ignore the points since there is no LTE map for a Morph carrier.

Meh, I haven't used sensorly since I flashed this Rom, kept turning itself on even when I told it not to

You have to change it to only report when you want it to.  One of my favorite apps...very addicting...an addiction that many of us have here.  But if you aren't in an active LTE market I can understand why it is not used.  Hopefully in the next few months though.

I change it to non active and it somehow changes to passive and turns the screen on in my pocket. Only way I notice is when I feel the burning hot screen on my leg lol

Nothing this month, and no new work sadly.

Back in wailuku i can see some work being done on roofs

and i can confirm via sponsor maps that that is a NV Location, ill be picking up an LTE phone next week and hunt down for some Ehrpd signals

 

I can also see from my maps that in honolulu there is a newly tower build and its been build up to NV standards.

EHRPD has been active on all towers on Oahu for quite some time

If you see work being done on roofs, please post pics :)

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are as many Link5G sites as there are reserved small cells from franchisees in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them. — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
    • Same with factory unlocked
    • June security update is out (S22U TMO)
