I also wish one of our members could code a "SignalCheck" clone for jail broken iOS devices. All these members, and nobody writes programs? ;)

I actually started working on something like that a while ago. If there's interest, I'll definitely put some more time into it.

Of course there's interest. That app was the only reason I liked android. It made finding towers/bands/frequencies so much easier. Field test blows, and if I had an app similar on my iPhone, where I could just pull down the top shade and see a widget with all that info, my mobile life would be complete.

"SignalCheck, you complete me." To which it responds, "You had me at hello."

Even 20 years later, the "Seinfeld" clip is a humorous commentary on use of technology -- especially among older people. To this day, I bet there are plenty of iPhone owners who use them to make phone calls, calculate tips, and that is about it.

My dad uses his as a game repository for the grandkids & to make calls. He's getting better at texting, but it's still a work in progress. The 70 year old brain doesn't have much room left for tech.

Edit: By the way, if you would like someone to help beta test it, you've got a willing participant right here :)

Right now it crashes more often then than it works, but when I get it working enough for some testing, I'll be sure to put it up on a beta repo.

Anyway to get the tower ID on there? I'm sick of seeing numbers in field test. If there was a way to display it/convert it, that would be great.

You mean the GCI? On the iPhone, it's just a decimal to hex conversion, so if he is able to get his program to see the ID, then I'm sure it wouldn't be terribly hard to implement that feature into it.

Omg. Omg. That's what I've been dreaming of! Dude. Now I have to downgrade back to 8.1.2 and re-JB

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6+

That's exactly what I did about 2 hours ago. All you have to do is download the firmware for your device and do shift+update in iTunes, no restore required. Do it quick though! Apple may stop signing 8.1.2 soon.

Of course I meant GCI. I was so excited that my brain shutdown on me for a second. :)

I see a value for "Cell ID" and "PID" (Physical Cell ID) but only when connected to LTE. Are either of those the "tower ID" you're looking for?

Cell identity is the value in field test. If you have access to it, that's what we need converted from decimal to hex.

You are correct. Cell ID is only for LTE. That is what he was talking about when he said Tower ID, he was talking about the LTE sector's GCI. It should come up as a decimal, and it can be converted to hexadecimal for the proper GCI.

And adding a "0" to the beginning.

 

Also, should this app get its own thread to keep the iPhone thread clean?

If you restore, yes you lose all of your data. But if you do shift+update, you don't lose any of your data. Plus, if you do a backup on 8.1.3 and restore to 8.1.2 and try to use your backup, you won't be able to use it because it will be for a newer iOS version which can't be used on 8.1.2. I just did the shift+update to go from 8.1.3 to 8.1.2 a couple of hours ago, and it was successful.

We already have a thread for it in the Premier Sponsors section, which nahum is not. Hopefully we can get him there, though.

I don't think I've ever downgraded before. I don't use iTunes at all, and all of my backups are through iCloud. If I downgrade, will I be able to restore my iCloud backup? Any suggestions? I don't want to lose everything over this.

Why is it premier? Is the regular signal check thread premier? Maybe it can be moved to at least the sponsor area.

I was planning to create a topic here in the iOS section of the forum, seems like an appropriate place for it.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
