alexnesto Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Could you give us a recap? And any future ones you might know about? Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechSmurf Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Well, for one, someone should REALLY go map river/alvernon area... and get LTE engineering screens.. for the other, these signal patterns are pretty telling (they weren't quite distinguishable from broadway/harrison a few days ago, but they're solidly suspect now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexnesto Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I got this three from River/Alvernon. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliz Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I can also go to river and Alvernon tomorrow if any more info is needed. (another engineering screen?) TechSmurf, I got you. Just turned off mapping on my phone. Wish I could do more to help...sorry for messing with the maps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyh123 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Good stuff, Jeff! I've got a small to-do list still running if anyone's bored: Tucson HTC/LG/iPhone folks: We've only got hex IDs for the new tower at OG/Oracle. If you're bored I could use 'em for the rest. Tucson Samsung/iPhone folks: We don't have confirmed serving cell IDs for that new tower, Park/18th, or the one in Drexel. Yuma Samsung/iPhone folks: We've got hex IDs for everything, but we don't have serving cell IDs for anything. Not a big deal if Hypeo is going to be the only person handling this... Southeast AZ folks: I hope people are running Sensorly in Santa Cruz and Cochise County. Well I'm a Yuma Samsung person, but I can say that I am able to have a consistent 4G signal throughout almost all of Yuma, I have to drive all over town for work and am able to keep a reliable 4G signal all the way from Ave C out to about 4E and from 32nd all the way over to first. So seems like much if the city is covered. Now they just need to take care of the south county and the foothills. I can say that I rarely see the need to switch to WiFi at home, and haven't used WiFi at the office since the first signs of 4G started popping up. I am very happy with the 4G thus far and it defiantly shows in my usage, over 15GB last month and already at about 15GB this month with 13 days left in the cycle.

I don't want to come across as a jerk here, but don't you have a good ground based option for speedy broadband? Or is your home WiFi borked? If that's the case, get a better router.

TechSmurf Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I got this three from River/Alvernon. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk Sadly I can't do much with this data yet, since we still don't have hex IDs for 1st/Glenn I can also go to river and Alvernon tomorrow if any more info is needed.

Yes, we still need samsung serving cell IDs for River/Alvernon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechSmurf Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Interesting track popped up on sensorly from someone on eastbound I-10 near Ruthrauff. It's faint, but it seems to be pointed the wrong direction to be fringe signal from a known site. Someone (*cough*newgrounds*cough*) should investigate the area N/NW of this track.

Yep, the first quote above is representative of the problem that will make "unlimited" data go away or become disappointingly slow again. But some people are too oblivious to realize that.

douevenlift Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 LTE screens from an iPhone! I'll just leave these here.......... the one on the left is Glenn/1st and on the right is Alvernon/River Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Your cell identity field is truncated which renders them useless. I remember one of the Iowa guys turning on some accessibility option in the settings and it shows the entire field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this doesn't give me enough info as to where I go to turn on that setting :\ would like to contribute so helpful hints would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some people are too oblivious to realize that. AJ ====================== Absolutely. 4G could be faster but in most cases WiFi is plenty fast enough. Use it when you can to conserve the bandwidth for others. Why put pressure on "unlimited" data plans needlessly. (IMHO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
