Idk if this has been brought up or I'm just wrong but I've noticed sensorly reporting whatever you 1x signal is when mapping LTE. In an area connected to smr I had full bars but a weak LTE signal around -115, sensorly reported this as full bars LTE. I believe this is the reason a site in the dc area was mislabeled as having 4g complete. For reference this is site WA23XC308

Maybe that tower was on for testing then taken down after it. Thus why one might be higher than the other

I have never had this problem. In my Wichita Falls and Waco mapping it only shows LTE signals. In Waco, I always had full bars of 1x signal because it is a CDMA 800 market, and yet it clearly shows all over that market the LTE signal strength very clearly and separate from my 1x.

 

It is also clear to me looking at my Wichita Falls mapping that it shows LTE signal strength very well, also. There are four sites that have not received LTE around the city, where I encounter very strong 1x signals and very weak LTE signals, and these are all shown as weak LTE signals.

 

I did once receive a PM from a member in Puerto Rico who has a Galaxy Nexus that he had a custom MOD on and he said all his Sensorly reporting around the San Juan area was coming in at full strength, no matter what his 1x and LTE signals actually were.

 

Are you using a custom MOD? If not, then perhaps you are mistaken? I guarantee you that Sensorly IS NOT harvesting 1x data as LTE signal data. However, your device may be mistakenly providing that.

Gnex running a custom rom. Maybe that's it. For me it's been reporting my 1x signal. I can confirm that tower I listed in my first post isn't broadcasting LTE although dark purple is around it.

 

Yeah, definitely stop reporting on Sensorly until you figure out the problem.

Oh, Darn. I was just about to flash nitroglycerine33's Eclipse 2.1 ROM. Guess I'll have to flash back to stock to run Sensorly when I go to LA.

I ran eclipse on my Gnex with no issues.

 

Sent from a phone using an application. That's pretty cool.

I'm running Frankenstein ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S III and have done so for the past month. It must be this specific ROM not allowing Sensorly app to record the LTE signal from my phone. Just this afternoon I had tracked LTE from on PCH starting around highway 103 to Vermont Avenue. Then from Vermont Avenue to Gaffey Street to Westmont. I even ran speed tests via Speedtest app at a few red lights showing strong LTE signal.

 

Damn. I love this ROM, but I also enjoy tracking when I find LTE in an unrecorded area. What a dilemma.

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/dallas-county-completes-first-911-194128506.html - First 911 call/text received over Starlink/T-Mobile direct to cell.  This appears to be in Dallas County, MO.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
