You have to really zoom in on Sensorly, but coverage goes north on Canal

Want to go back out there and map m99, island hwy and other roads, but kiddos are napping.

 

I used the signal check pro app developed by a member here to get notified. No airplane mode cycling, it just dinged at me.

I'm seeing some purple pop up on sensory just west of Belding on 44 and Lincoln Lake Road.

 

I couldn't see that at first had to zoom way in, kinda faint, but good to see.

I can't seem to find that app in the Play Store, can you point me in that direction?

Thanks, got the 2 buck version, I wanted the audible notification, and it helps the developer. Now I just need to be pleasantly surprised when I get an unplanned notification.

Hi Bruce nice to see ya hope to see you in Dayton this year

 

That's my plan, to head down there with the usual gang. Hope to see you there, and maybe even some Sprint LTE on that tower near Hara Arena! Saw a post in another thread where a member posted some Dayton area site permits, but that one wasn't there yet.

So I have only one good picture of the Eaton Rapids tower as there is no good way to get close enough, even with an 300mm zoom lens (however, the camera is only 6MP). The odd thing is the NV panel was shorter than the legacy PCS panel next to it. There was only a single RRU, which is expected because the Lansing area falls into the 800Mhz border exclusion zone. Is Samsung using a smaller panel that doesn't support SMR in areas that can't get 800Mhz right now?

It's possible it's a similar type of panel that we have seen used in Ericsson markets, narrow beamwidth panel. Either for very urban areas, or rural areas with wide cell spacing trying to focus the signal down highways. I wouldn't imagine that they would not put up 800 capable panels only to have to replace them later once they make an agreement with Canada.

 

Does it look anything like the panel circled in red?

I didn't really see them from that angle, but they very well could be the same antennas. I'll get my picture uploaded soon.

I have "4G" lit up next to the signal bars at M6 and Kalamazoo ave in GR. Speed was only about 3 mbps but im still very excited! Was only 3G this morning.

 

For the past week 3G speed downtown has been usable again too.

Make sure to run Sensorly when you can!

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
