I have a 64GB iPad 4 WiFi + Cellular and I know on Android there is the SignalCheck Pro app to determine your signal strength, etc. Is there any way to do this on the iPad?

If you are jailbroken, then check out Signal 2 in Cydia. Otherwise, no.

No, for wireless network diagnostics, your problem is that you have an iPad.  You got Jobbed.

 

:P

Tim Cook is trying to reverse parts of Jobs' archaic locks on iOS.

The quality of the apps on the iPad are much better than on Android.  I have a wi-fi only Nexus 7, which I also like.  I just wish iOS were a little more open.

Just not access to engineering screen apps...

So funny I forgot to laugh.

What is funny is that you apparently take offense at an established fact: the iPad is too locked down to allow access to engineering screens that are the lifeblood of wireless network observers.

While I certainly agree, AJ, There aren't any engineering screens on the Nexus 7 either, correct?

It does not have a cellular baseband, making engineering screens irrelevant.

You Apple sheep are annoying. If you don't like the facts, write the Apple CEO a letter, or buy from another platform.

 

You act like he insulted your wife or bullied your first born. Give it a break.

Annoying? Please don't come in here saying things like that. In all respect, I like both platforms, but like iOS better because I'm used to it, and for me the less problems I have with my mobile phone, the better.

Then you arent one of those annoying sheep. Trying to drag the Nexus 7 into a ipad discussion in an attempt to bash it, just so the ipad doesn't seem so bad (which I own one and like it) is annoying. Not everyone who has an IOS device is a sheep in the herd of job.

Now when it comes to laptops, I won't buy a windows machine, but have to use Windows on a daily basis for school. No matter how much I hate Windows, I have no choice but to use it as it is here for a while to come.

Even if it did, do you really think that Google would put one on just for Sprint?

Assuming the Nexus 7 comes to Sprint in LTE form, Sprint may request it be done, just like they did for the Galaxy Nexus.

It's certainly possible, but the Galaxy Nexus situation was kinda messed up so I hate to take much of it into account.

I never called all Apple users sheep. I own an ipad, and I can guarantee you, I know not all are sheep. Those who think IOS is the right hand of God himself are the sheep.

Nobody in this thread said or implied anything about iOS being God. You're the one that said "you Apple sheep are annoying."

 

I came to this thread to see if there was a way to do what the original poster was asking since I have an iPad as well. Not to see S4GRU contributing authors and others engage in Android fanaticism and Apple-bashing. They're just operating systems people.

No one bashed Apple.  Thats what your failing to understand here.  He made a joke, and the joke was based on fact.  no bashing, no whining.  The sheep mentality saw his response as threatening to the apple platform, which, it wasnt.

 

Im done here.  Im going to play on my ipad.

      Checked just now and found a 56MB GP System update pending...will follow up after install.    Edit:  Confirmed that this one moved from August to September 1 after updating.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
