Sprint LTE Coverage Maps via Sensorly


Recommended Posts

I've noticed lately that when I map, it shows up quickly when zoomed way in but not when zoomed out. It's been days since I've seen it update. I just assume that it's a back up on the server side.

I found that un-checking "map freshness" in the general section of the settings menu largely corrected my issue of Sensorly not updating for a day or more at certain zoom levels.  It says the downside is slower loads, but I haven't really noticed a significant change in performance other than I see updates within minutes at all zoom levels now.

Sensorly may not have databased Sprint's CDMA1X 800 SIDs.

is there a way to let them know so we can start showing off area's of sprint only coverage (few and far between but they are out there) like where i live i get decent voice and text service but verizon and att have zero ziltch nada all those phones see is a nice little X where bars are supposed to be or is it something that they have to request from sprint? and since sprint hasn't officially anounced 1x800 voice coverage they don't want apps like sensorly to show their coverage hand just yet

I am not sure.  S4GRU has a good relationship with Sensorly, but you also have to realize that Sensorly is a French start up.  Working with CDMA2000 is, well, foreign to them.  So, I would not expect CDMA1X 800 to get special treatment -- if it gets mapped at all.  And if it does, it will get erroneously tagged as Sprint "2G."

just a thought thanks for the heads up i didn't know they were a french start up and even if it is labled 2g for strictly data sake cause 1x800 has almost no data capacity i would still like to map new area's of sprints voice and text service

Like I said, if CDMA1X 800 gets mapped at all, it will just be included with CDMA1X 1900.  VZW and AT&T both operate dual band Cellular 850 MHz, PCS 1900 MHz networks in most markets, but Sensorly makes no distinctions between those bands.

No man you missed it, Sprint secretly announced that they are launching the "Gigabit Spark" thing, and everyone can use it. Even if your phone is not tri-band.ragecomic.png

Yeah I am sure a call to customer care would verify it :P

Are there any native 1x Only areas on Sprint left? Last Spring I went on college trips in rural Pennsylvania and it was all 1x. Now I am looking at Sensorly and Sprint's official maps and these areas have been mapped over green for EVDO. It's good to see that Sprint might actually have no 1x only areas left pretty soon. (Besides at the edge of service areas of course).

A big chunk of Carbon County, PA is still 1x...near Palmerton, Lehighton, Tamaqua, etc.

Is there way to display speed test results on the Sensorly webpage or is that a feature exclusive to the mobile app?

I think it is only mobile right now. I wish that you could see speed results and signal while zooming further out. It'd be easier to see how the whole area is doing instead of just a small section.

Question for y'all... Just for the heck of it, I was looking at the WiMAX coverage on Sensorly (Cleveland Ohio metro area), and I was curious about speed tests too. The problem is that I can't find any speed tests in the entire region. Is it even possible to plot a speed test on the WiMAX map, or has nobody run a speed test in forever.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
