GTAXL Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 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.

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.

Flompholph Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that's a hell of a workaround! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZorbatron Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Wow.. I never knew that. Damn, that's a hell of a workaround! An easier workaround is to get rid of the iJob. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
