Hello, I have an iPhone 5, is there any way for me to identify what Sprint tower my phone is currently connected to? I would like to match it up with the NV maps just out of curiosity. I went to the field test and this is what I got. This is what I get inside my house, outside I can barely pick up 4G, which on Sprint's coverage map shows best 4G coverage. :/ I think inside my house I connect to the 3G GMO tower but I would like to verify. I'm sure somewhere in the field test or debug info there is a way to know which tower you're connected to. Also, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 connected on Sprint, not sure if it's connected to the same tower as my iPhone but maybe it can tell me some information. Thanks.

Try the SignalCheck app.

That is only for android. I am not sure how to see the the tower location on iphone. I thought it was in the 1x field test.

You can't see which tower you are connected to on an iPhone.

You can't "see" which tower you are connected to via iOS Field test. But you can match them up with the Galaxy Tab Enginerring screens.

Within the Samsung Enginerring screens, you can match up System ID, Network ID, and Base Station ID between iOS and Android. Base Station ID is also available with Signal Check on Android.

You could also go to the sponsor Columbus market spreadsheet thread. They have a great map with a lot of info including bid and gci for a lot of towers.

Wow.. I never knew that. Damn, that's a hell of a workaround!

    • Also a full system update, security update of about 500 or so MB
    • A new 60MB GP System update was waiting when I checked my S24+ tonight.  And bringing it to a November 1 date this time. 
    • Pixel 8a Dec system update over 800 mb is out for locked t mobile.
    • Drove by there and it definitely isn't on the Northlake property. It was very late, so I couldn't see much else though. Did some more sleuthing on GoogleMaps and I suspect it might be this powerline site nearby: Google Maps I will go by there in the next couple of days during the daytime and see if that's the case.
    • Vinegar Hill is getting the Brooklyn Heights treatment now with regard to small cells. I mapped two more small cells in the neighborhood in the past few days so now T-Mobile is up to 8 of them in such a tiny neighborhood. While it's cool they're doing this since it means outdoors you get a consistent 400Mbps+ almost everywhere, it sucks because they're obviously deploying so many of them to make up for their lack of a macro site in the entire neighborhood. Because there isn't a macro, the small cells have a greater coverage area than you see in other neighborhoods and you often connect to them while indoors but coverage and speeds fall off indoors much faster on small cells than on macros in my experience.  Even Dish has better coverage than T-Mobile in Vinegar Hill since they added the site on top of the Extra Space Storage building alongside AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile needs to get in line with their competitors there.
