Any donation amount will make you a sponsor. $100+ (aggregated across all donations you make) will make you a premier sponsor.

Welcome first of all to S4GRU.  I think you'll find that being a sponsor has its rewards and I am glad to hear that you are interested in taking the step to become a sponsor.  This is a common question that every new member asks of how much.  The answer is....there is no set amount you need to donate to become a sponsor.  You should give what you can and just keep in mind what this site provides for you.  The proceeds from all donations go to support this website since it is non-profit.

 

As you get more familiar with the type of information you get from this site you'll learn more about Network Vision and appreciate all the hard work that the mods, contributing authors and Robert do for this community and the community is very friendly in trying to answer questions that new members like yourself may have about Network Vision.

How much are the maps worth to you? This site is all volunteer. Donate whatever you think it is worth. You can get access to the basic maps for any donation, but the real fun begins at the Premier level. $100 is a small price to pay for an insane amount of information.

Think about it like this.  You're looking at upgrading your phone in the near future.  You're still on the old LTEVO (EVO LTE) and you're thinking that you want a tri-band phone.  You look at the maps and see that you're in the IBEZ zone and know you won't be getting 800 LTE anytime soon and you're not going to be getting Clear's 2.6 Ghz since they were not in your area. 

 

You now know you've got about two years before your market is going to be announced for the new spark network so now you know you can get single-band lte phones instead of that tri-band phone. you've now figured you can get the Note 3 on sale for $49 from a retailer and wait 20 months to upgrade.  That $100 can now get you to premier sponsoring and suddenly, that savings was worth the addiction you've now grown to have checking for newly accepted sites and the awesome premier info you get for that $100.

How long does it take to get the title? I donated 5 bucks (for now :)) about a half hour ago. Sorry if these questions are trivial. Im just sitting at work and would like a map to look at :)

I see you are now a sponsor so you should be able to access sponsor pages. Welcome aboard.

Start by checking what you can see. Then you will realize you want more, more, more. I assure you, there is more.

 

Welcome aboard and enjoy your stay.

Becoming an S4GRU Premier Sponsor changed my life.

For the better, or for the worse?

You probably should save your money if that's why you would donate to become a Premier Sponsor.

thanks for your reply

 

Its not about buying information.  Its about supporting the cause, which is keeping this site online.  If you pass that 100 dollar mark, yes, there is more information than you see as a regular sponsor.  You shouldnt consider it a purchase though, it should be a donation, and just that, a donation.  There is information in there that I am happy I get to see, but, I didnt give over 100 just to see it, I wanted to do my part to make sure this site is online.

 

If you have extra money, and want to support the cause, you wont be dissapointed.  If you think you are buying information, you might be dissapointed.  It isnt an elitist club for those with cash, its just another level of commitment you have for S4GRU

      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.
