Hi does anyone have the signal app from cydia. I try to use itbtonfind towers but seems sometimes I end up at no tower? Any other opinion

It sounds like the tower(s) is(are) squawking offset coords for the tower. There isn't really any other options for apps. In the sponsor area there are locations for were the towers are.

I don't use it to find towers as most, if not all towers squawk the wrong coordinates. One I ran across yesterday said the tower was over by Santa Barbara, and I was in the San Fernando Valley off the I-405. Other than GPS flaws not at the fault of planetbeing, his app is great.

Sprint LTE cells squawk the targeted cell coverage center and not the tower itself. This is what Signal displays and can be confusing, Example:

The green circles indicate three band-25 cell "centers" emanating from the tower in the pink box.

 

These are not equidistant, as you may notice, though they are close. Network engineers vary things, namely downtilt, to alter the attempted cell center.

That is the same site but closer. Pink circle is the tower.

 

And...

This is the same tower again. Pink is the tower, orange is part of the shadow projected by it, the part at the very top. It is significantly more dense now than whenever that shot was taken, which appears to be pre-LTE.

 

Here is a better and newer shot from google instead:

However, much of the shadow projected by the sun's angle is onto the sides of the trees, and not visible in a perfectly vertical satellite photo. But if you look carefully you will see a denser tower.

 

This is one way of using Signal for locating towers.

What repository (source) did you add to get this app?

So has anybody been able to jailbreak ios7 yet? Everything I've found online seems to be a gimmick - It's been months since I've had my jailbreak and I'm dying to get it back.

 

Nothing yet. Hopefully soon something will come up. But I think those who are working on it are making sure that Apple can't find out their exploits before the initial release bugs are worked out.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      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.
