Got an email that OpenSignal is now out for the iPhone.

 

I only just installed it, but it does seem to allow sending in speed test information. It also shows you nearby towers and compass direction to the nearest one.

Is this a pay app or is it free on the AppStore? I can't look it up til I get home, as my 3G data is to slow here for the AppStore to connect.

It's a free app, but I thought it was junk. I had it on my phone and where it said towers were located was waaaay wrong and you can't do data tracking. So, to me it was just another speed test app and I already have one, so I deleted it.

I don't use it except for its compass feature that shows which direction your tower is in. Since it doesn't continuously speed test it's not as useful as RootMetrics.

What apps are good for iPhone from a tower diagnostics stand point? Open signal just sucks! Lol I saw screenshots where they were showing all the connections the phone were making to towers and the decibel level of signal strength. Any input would help. Even apps for a jailbreak. As I am jail broken.

Signal 2 from Planetbeing is a great app for tower connections and signal levels. It's available in Cydia.

According to this I am at a 61 dBm. This is a neat app! Great find!

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Which is not surprising given that Verizon’s entire 5G network consists of only C-band and mmWave in most of their coverage area. I’m more surprised that despite having a 5G network that’s almost entirely made up of only two super fast and super high capacity bands, both T-Mobile and AT&T showed higher average speeds on 5G according to OpenSignal. I would’ve expected Verizon to be a close second to T-Mobile but it was a blowout.
