Sprint LTE Coverage Maps via Sensorly

[4ginnc]

 

...

 

I really need a new phone so I can use sensorly myself, but I know the day after I get one they'll announce the first 800 LTE phone.

 

Then I'm sure there are lots of folks on here that would like you to get a new phone as soon as possible.

In about 20 days sensorly has used 300mbs of data. I run it almost daily.

So whats the word on a Sensorly app coming to Cydia? I know they mentioned it them selves.

[Andrew Revering]

After a month of not being able to get sensorly to take my updates, it now works.

 

For the third time I drove n/s through st. Francis, MN and Princeton, and it updated quickly.

 

I'm posting this mainly because I know a couple others are still having problems and I wanted to mention that prior to this I was on a custom rom (freegs3) and kernel. I wiped and reinstalled a few times to no avail, but when I went back to stock (rooted) it worked.

 

So I'm not sure if the fix was the rom or the sensorly server side fix, but thought I'd share.

There's your problem right there. Another member I know of used the FreeGS3 thing too. That dev decided to get cute and change up stuff in the ROM so it would report to Sensorly that you were not on Sprint's network. All your points go into the lala land... which not any fault of Sensorly.

[cletus]

Will there be any way for us to tell the upcoming bands apart from one another? It would be very interesting to be able to map 800/1900/2600 and have a mapping function with the bands combined and separate.

 

 

 

Also, I cannot seem to get the speedtest function to report to sensorly. I can run speedtests and they complete but my contribution lists 1 Billion measurements and 0 speedtests no matter what I try in terms of uploading the data.

Has anyone successfully mapped with an HTC ONE? None of my points have been displayed yet. Have never rooted.

[S4GRU]

Sensorly definitely does not use much data. And it is true that you can WiFi upload all of the observations. However, this is typically not known except to more advanced users. I believe that people that have capped data plans are just self taught to save their data for only needed uses when mobile. And to a casual Verizon or AT&T customer, a use like Sensorly would seem superfluous.

 

I believe that also half, or more, of Sprint LTE mapping on Sensorly comes from members of this forum.

Mapping San Francisco as we speak

Sensorly is updating FAST these days! Just mapped a few other areas today and it seems with in 20 minutes(maybe earlier but didn't get a chance to check) its on the map and even all the layers too. Loving the update!!! :)

Still in the airport at the moment awaiting A friends flight that arrived an hour later than mine. Its hit or miss in the terminal though l Brought my spare batteries so I will be mapping the entire trip until friday

[mc_gusto]

Yeah airport tower is not active yet. Downtown is great. Elsewhere is hit or miss. Highways are covered for the most part. Report in on sf market thread as well.

I'm really surprised how well the city I am in is getting LTE. I drove over to my mothers house this morning and picked up LTE inside her house for a few minutes. I'm not sure if someone else already mapped in that area, since there are tennis courts behind her house, or if Sensorly already updated the maps. I think I'm going to do some driving tonight around town to see if LTE is anywhere else. The main areas that show LTE on Sensorly are areas I frequently drive, so I'll have to drive around some.

[Dkoellerwx]

If you still don't see your data now, it's quite possible yes. In which case, send an email to contact@sen... with your phone's anonymous id. Clear your browser cache before testing.

 

Any guess as to where the data went? Sent in the phone ID. My phone is not rooted, so there shouldn't have been an issue with it reporting under the wrong network name.

Do you have a LTE capable phone? Your signature says you still have a EVO 3D Wimax phone.

I need to update that. I have an S4.

Just did a little mapping on US Hwy 101 from Seaside, OR, to Warrenton, OR. Finally, some purple on the Oregon coast!

 

EDIT: Also went up to Astoria and across the bridge into Washington. LTE finally cut out around Fort Columbia State Park.

I'm starting to see blips of LTE in southern Wisconsin. I caught my phone going to 4G on Milton Ave. in Janesville yesterday. It stayed up as long as I was on Milton, but once headed out of town it dropped back to 3G. I live fairly close to Milton, but I couldn't get the phone to reconnect to LTE later on.

 

Around Oregon I saw it flip over to 4G again, but about a minute later would fall back to 3G. If I switched mobile data off, then on again, it'd reconnect to LTE, then fall back after a couple minutes.

To the sensorly rep:

 

Ever since the new Jelly Bean update on the Motorola Photon Q, the mapping functionality (note, *not* the app itself) keeps 'crashing' of a sort....basically, the process seems to halt/hang or something.  On an active mapping process, the spinning circle to the left of the 'elapsed time' timer will continue to spin, but the timer itself will suddenly flip to all zeroes and points cease accumulating regardless of whether you're mapping 2G/3G CMDA signal or 4G/LTE signal. Passive mapping processes will similarly 'crash' and the notifier/status bar icon at the top disappears when this happens (I have mine set to always scan passively anyway when vehicle docked)..  

 

And as one other additional oddity, I went into my app settings after I got home this afternoon and noticed that oddly, it shows 'Battery usage today' reporting at 1272% (no, that's not a typo, it literally shows 1272% right now).  I'm not sure if that is interrelated or not, but I know its downright impossible.  I had even uninstalled/reinstalled the app a few days ago, and even if that value wasn't being reset daily, I haven't used even half that much of a cumulative battery charge over the last few days since then.

 

There's a thread on this here where others with the P-Q are experiencing the same issue:

There is one small blip of 4g in Dover,Delaware is that tower live or just testing.

It's just testing, as it has not been accepted yet. But probably will be soon.

I keep seeing the at&t commercials saying that they are "The nation's largest 4G Network" but from the maps on sensorly is does not look that way. Verizon looks over twice as big and from what sprint has in the same areas as at&t sprint takes the cake. I'm i missing something here?

They count their HSPA+ network as 4G.
