Blocking LTE connections

I went to a site that I had mapped on sensorly the previous night, but was not able to connect. The network screen was clearly showing LTE but my mobile network stayed disconnected. Toggle didn't work, power cycle didn't work. I also tried to disconnect the mobile network and reconnect and it would do a stutter to connecting. connecting then fall back to disconnect.

 

I'm pretty sure this site was not blocking connections because when I drove away and started to toggle again eventually it connected and I turned back around and mapped some more. Today I had the same thing happen at another site too.

 

I was under the impression that if they blocked the connection you would still have 3G (in my case I had no data at the site unless I toggled to CDMA only, at that point the mobile network connected)

 

I also have a EVO LTE but this sounds different from the other issues people have had. It wouldn/t default to 3G at all

If the site is newly completed they may have ran into issues with the site. I had a site around here that had a bad rru and had to be replaced and one i have no clue whats wrong with that has been done since March 28th! So since your not in a launched area hang tight and see how it works out.

If you were able to connect again a short ways away, it makes you wonder if it was device related. I have no idea. That's very odd. I don't recall anyone else reporting that same issue. But then again, with the EVO, nothing can be ruled out.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. It was at 2 separate sites too. The one thing I didn't do was toggle from CDMA only back to LTE/CDMA at the site to see if it would connect or do the stutter thing again with the disconnect network. I may go back again today to see, but at a bare minimum I would have thought it would at least be on 3G. I also have a EVO 4G that I will use to record it and maybe post so you guys can see

If it was in a state to prevent normal users from connecting to it, it will look like it is not even there to you. Unless of course you have AJ's spectrum analyzer. Your phone simply be on 3g if available.

So what do you think then when I can see the LTE signal strength from the network screen but the network will not connect except when in CDMA only

      What devices should do, and what they actually do, are two very different things! As you've probably heard me mention countless times, many of those screens get information in a proprietary manner directly from the modem; apps like SignalCheck can only get what the OS is reporting. I did find your earlier reports, and as I guessed, the OS was reporting valid signal strength. I will try to figure out a solution.

      Service mode shows the SIM as having no service, so I would think the device should report that. I believe I sent a diagnostic report a little while back—can you check to see if you have it?

      Interesting, that doesn't happen on my P7. Can you send me a diagnostic report the next time you see that please? Hopefully the phone isn't actually reporting the -115, that will be tricky.

      Hey Mike—another dual SIM bug. If one SIM loses service, it doesn’t disappear from the app.  I’ve seen this a couple times—my Dish SIM will lose service (confirmed in service mode), but SCP won’t stop displaying -115 or so. And it logs a data point at that signal every time the location updates.  Along the same lines, I have a custom trigger set up for 313340 (Dish), and the custom trigger keeps firing when this is happening.
