Nextel is the caterpillar.  On June 30th it climbs up into it's cocoon.  And as each LTE 800 site goes live, it's like a butterfly emerging into markets all around the country.     I think Sprint co

I am quite impressed by the bidding already.  From the auction proceeds and the daily sponsorship the past several weeks, the countdown clock has been the most profitable aspect of the Nextel iDEN net

hmm I only get 1900 CDMA coverage everywhere I have visited in Northern VA. eHRPD that is.

If you are running the stock PRL, you might not get it.  digiblur has a custom PRL that enables all SMR SIDs

Besides the recent note2 temp PRL, the stock ones have 800SMR in all but 4 areas. Don't remember them off hand. I will add that to the current prl sticky thread when I find it.

I thought some areas were still using one of the 4 SIDs not in the PRL for testing purposes.  I've always recommended your PRL because it has those 4 SIDs.

Final day of bidding on the iDEN Countdown Clock.  If you were holding out to bid at the end, don't forget!   :tu:

I'm curious as to which S4GRU member has the highest bid.  Could it be Dan Hesse?  Guess I'll have to wait till the end of the auction.  It's been simply Awesome to see all the support your site has (rightfully) received, Robert!

All IDEN users should call each other right before the shutdown in protest/celebration

I'm betting it's jegillis, I haven't seen an increase since his post.

But, Mr. Hesse has a SoftBank Platinum Select card now. He'll come through with a blockbuster bid at the last second. ;)

Maybe this has already been asked and answered, but after the shut down, if we have previously 4g only sites broadcasting 800, then would it be safe to assume that it is fully doing 800/3g/4g then?

 

Or could it still be possible to be doing 800/4g, with legacy 3g1900 active?

All right. Auction over.  $187.50 raised for S4GRU in the auction.  That covers almost 10 days of expenses of S4GRU.  Thanks to azoclark again for donating the phones and the shipping for the auction.  Thank you to all who participated!

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
