Now if you want an example of horrid gps performance, my Samsung Moment couldn't find its way out of a wet paper sack if it tried.

 

The moment you bought that phone it was obsolete.

 

The Moment?  You bought that phone?  It was obsolete.

To the people reporting poor Band 25 reception.   Did you enable Band 26 and Band 41?   Maybe Sprint was already ahead of you on this and you actually are causing the problem?   Maybe they made

It may have been a poor first attempt at Android by Samsung, but it had a physical keyboard (which I really thought I needed since I wasn't sure about using a touch screen keyboard on a 3 inch screen) and it was my way to get rid of T-Mobile and Best Buy had a deal that ended up with me profiting over $100 by switching and going from my shitty Nokia flip phone with "emergency only" service to Sprint 3G. But yeah, perhaps I should have gone for the HTC Hero, instead. I was a bit conflicted on that decision.

 

At least the Moment was the moment I returned to Sprint and my voice and text service was finally what it should have been all the time I had T-Mobile.

YES, mine is awful. My G2 GPS issue appears to be intermittent. Sometimes it will even lock onto satellites inside my house and other times it has problems outside.

Why are there satellites inside of your home? Is your dad an astronaut?

 

My GPS seems to work just fine. Almost eerily so. It can tell if I'm in my back yard or front yard.

 

Use the actual gps and you will see

 

Okay, I'll bite. What is "actual gps"? Is it somthing I use if I'm camping or trying to land on an aircraft carrier? Edited by dParis

Yes, there are satellites inside your house.  And the dinosaur had a car...

I already ran many tests and the evo lte and gs3 gps puts my g2 to shame. Is this a device problem for certain units idk but it exists and not only on mine but my best friend has the sprint g2 and has the same problems. If I have to I will make a video and you will see what im talking about.

It seems to default to Global every time you try switching it yourself.

 

 

I use the Google Maps navigation nearly every day. I have not had a problem yet. It locks on every time, gives me accurate location and even locks on while I am indoors. Now if you want an example of horrid gps performance, my Samsung Moment couldn't find its way out of a wet paper sack if it tried.

Adding another Sprint tower... on top of one that already exists? That doesn't make any sense.

I was saying that a ericsson worker in the area told me they were going to add another sector on that tower because its a congested tower so i was trying to see if that's what they are doing.

I have seen double towers in my area. There are two of them.

On the bottom rack for Sprint, it looks like it may only have two sectors.  So they may be adding a third one facing another direction.  But that wouldn't involve adding another rack.

There is a 3rd sector for sprint its just not in the pic. It looks like at&t is the new carrier on the top. I know verizon, tmobile, and sprint are already there so who else could it be. Wouldnt be a surprise because that would make it the 3rd new at&t tower built in the last 2 months in Ocala

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      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.
