Hey guys, I am trying to see if anyone is having a same issue as me. LTE just came to my area and I will be standing in a spot that has LTE doing speed tests. It will toggle me back to 3G, and then I will have to toggle airplane mode to get back to LTE. Has anyone has a similar problem, and if so, what did you do to fix it? Also, another thing I noticed while doing speedtests, my phone showed that I was on 3G, but when I looked at the results of the speed test, it showed me as being on LTE.. I am rooted running the FreeGS3 ROM. I am not sure if this may be the issue or not. I know that EVO LTE's seemed to have this issue in the past, but I have NEVER seen or heard of someone having the issue with the S3 (and yes, I did google around)

Also since you are on that wonderful FreeGS3 ROM (being sarcastic), we had a member in the NOLA market do an entire day of 4G mapping only to have absolutely ZERO of his points show up on Sensorly. It seems the Dev of this ROM thought it would be cute to change the network name so Sensorly throws all the points to the curb instead of putting them on the map.

 

So before you map anything with Sensorly please make sure it goes up on the map before spending time mapping your area out.

Yeah, I notice this. I mapped my neighbor hood out and it didnt show =/ but mapped SCC and it showed. So not sure if someone else mapped it. I love this ROM but may have to switch to another one =/

I'm having this issue on my S3 also. Airplane mode seems to solve it sometimes, but more often than not, I have to restart the phone. I'll be standing underneath a LTE tower and be reading 3G. The "LTE Enginerring" (sic) debug screen will show -119db, or wherever the last signal was when it faded out (coverage is spotty in Detroit at this time). I can't figure it out for the life of me.

I know the latest update for the Note2 changed the scan to 5 minutes, probably the same the S3. But I know that interval is not entirely true as I've seen the phone pick up LTE in the almost the same place several times.

 

In the debug screen, what shows for the MCC MNC when it is "stuck"? 000's?

      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.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
