jordanlong20 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 There is none. Apple doesn't allow it. Wow, thanks. So the only info is from the status bar? On iOS 7 it is only the dots and network type I think. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Wait, are you talking about Sensorly or SignalCheck? Sensorly is the app that maps data connections so people can get a feel for how the network has been built in a city, while SignalCheck tells you about the signal strength and connection type. If you're looking for the latter read the first post in this thread or read this: http://www.brianklug.org/2012/09/how-to-switch-from-bars-to-numerical-signal-level-on-ios-without-jailbreaking/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JossMan Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Just out of curiosity at home I am getting a rouge LTE signal but its at -115dBm phone will switch in and out of 3G and 4G LTE. I'm hoping this isn't permanent and picking LTE up from a tower from the other side of town. My 1X signal from the phone's DEBUG menu shows it around -74 Rx Pwr on 1900MHz PCS band, assuming they haven't upgraded the tower I am connecting to for 1X to LTE yet will I get good in house signal for LTE assuming my 1X connection is good since LTE will be on 1900MHz PCS?

My guess is that that the LTE signal and 1X signal are coming from different sites, but it's hard to say for sure without the Cell ID (I think that's what it's called).

S4GRU Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 bars no longer lie on htc one IF you have the android 4.3 update That's great news. I hope more updates enable LTE signal to be shown in bars. It will alleviate a lot of confusion.

nobius Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 On phone, so I can't really search well, but what is the iOS equivalent of sensorly? I can't see any connection information from the system settings and im looking for the best third party app. Tia Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 RootMetrics.

lordsutch Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Via PhoneScoop: "Sprint is prepared to demonstrate new wireless networking technology at an event in Silicon Valley today. The demonstration will show how Sprint plans to use its 2.5GHz spectrum holdings to deliver even faster mobile broadband, reports The Wall Street Journal. Citing sources familiar with Sprint's plans, both the networking technology and handsets that can use it will be available to consumers soon." More at the link: http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=13124 My guess is that this is about carrier aggregation or some other LTE Advanced features (multicast/broadcast, maybe?). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jswets Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Is there going to be anyone on hand to get video or do a review of the demonstration? Im really curious to see the real world results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZisBack Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Is there going to be anyone on hand to get video or do a review of the demonstration? Im really curious to see the real world results. Anything demonstration to get from this presentation isn't going to be real world results. Check Robert's trip to Colorado post for real world results. This is the part that sucks: Sprint explained that it will have to build 12 to 15 cell towers with 2.5GHz to match the coverage provided by just one cell site with 700MHz.

jefbal99 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just have all the Triband handsets and show them off. Myabe the Snapdragon 800s supporting some CA for bigger pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilotimz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Radio heads A key ingredient enabling Sprint Spark is equipment compatibility with the architecture of the Sprint initiative known as Network Vision. Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia Solutions and Networks and Samsung have been selected to provide 2.5GHz radio heads and to enable Sprint Spark. Each company will service approximately one-third of Sprint's deployment markets. These 2.5GHz radios are expected to have capabilities for 8 Transmitters 8 Receivers (8T8R), which will be a first deployment of its kind in North America. These radios will be capable of improved coverage, capacity and speeds when compared to the more traditional 2T2R or 4T4R radios used by our competitors.

supert0nes Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I wish they wouldn't use inter-band carrier aggregation at all. If people can use 2.5, there's no reason to let them use 1900 or 800. If they can use 1900, I can't think of a good reason to let them use 800. Unless you care about speedtests. Also, no triband for the g2 until 2014?!? Unfortunate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bretton88 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Interesting that Denver is not on the initial list, since It is already broadcasting a significant amount of 2600 LTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
