Which data type will better reflect LTE strength?

I'm noticing in my house, my CDMA signal strength is -100dBm, whereas my eHRPD is high 70s-low 80s. Anyone know which connection type will be more similar to LTE? I'm hoping its eHRPD. Lol

The highest of the two will likely determine whether you get a usable LTE signal or not. Your 1x signal is probably weaker because the carriers colocated with the EVDO carrier you're on probably have a worse EC/LO ratio than the one your phone chose.

The better of the two is the more likely indicator. However, it will be the final LTE signal after full deployment. Because a distant site that gets upgraded first may be the initial signal that reaches your home. And it may be very weak.

 

But whenever the site that the eHRPD signal is coming from gets upgraded, you will likely have a pretty solid LTE signal.

Anyone know the difference between EvDo RevA:6 and EvDo RevA:8?

 

The difference is 2. And the sum would be 14.

 

Sorry, I could not resist...

 

:P

Haha. Is there not a difference other than 2? Does one pull faster speeds? Only reason I ask is because aosp ROMs on my gsiii connect to the 6 one, while Touchwiz connects to the 8. I don't know what the difference is, really and I don't see any noticeable difference in them other than 2.

I figured I'd post this. This is upstairs in my house, looks like my home is made out of something that interferes with the RF.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing how fast LTE is upstairs, compared to downstairs. (Downstairs, I get around what's in the OP.)

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
