Just out of curiosity, is there a call in Core Telephony that you can pull the carrier when our devices are roaming?

Hm, not sure. I'll check that out.

 

nahum, I am getting an iPhone 6 Plus later this week. Would there be any way for you to remove my 5S's UDID and add my 6 Plus's when I get it? Thanks!

I'll have to do that manually, PM me.

iOS has long needed an app to display info about the cellular connection- we have Field Test but it's rather hard to type in *3001#12345#* while driving. So, I made CellularInfo. Supports all iPhone

Some good news. planetbeing never replied, but I've gotten CellularInfo to work on my own on jailbroken 8.4 with some fake code signing and entitlement magic. The app is working perfectly. I can't say

Thanks for stepping in for me, AJ and Robert! The OP sent me a PM within minutes of you guys posting and PMing me as well. As I mentioned somewhere around here a couple of weeks ago, I'm not able to g

Just to let you know, the app seems to still work perfectly on iOS 8.2.

Good to hear. I'll go ahead and update then. :)

 

Quick story on why I haven't been working on the app/adding new people recently. On Thursday, I sold my development computer's processor to a friend (the computer is a Hackintosh) thinking I could go buy my new one from Micro Center a few hours after I gave it to him. Bought it (hell of a line there too), brought it home... and it was defective. Not sure when I'll be able to head back there and exchange it. I can't update it from any other computers because the signing certificate's private key is on the processor-less computer. Sorry about the wait guys!

Would it be possible to implement a field within the app showing number of Tx antennas? Field test mode is very finicky with populating that info, especially on B41.

I honestly have never seen it show more than 2 tx antennas.  On my phone - if it is on an 8T8R site - toggling airplane mode puts me back on B25 for a second, then it seems like tower says 'ok... move him over to B41' - but I have never seen the number of TX antennas move to anything other than null or 2.

 

:(

 

Has anyone seen it actually say something other than that?

Nope. I actually stopped looking because I could never get it to populate that info.

I got it to populate this morning on B41 (2 Tx), I had my phone sit in field test mode for like 5 minutes when sitting in traffic. Just gotta give it a few minutes.

I could look for that, I haven't seen it though.

My question was more along the lines of - has anyone ever seen anything other than the number 2 in the Tx Antennas field.

 

Mine populates if I toggle airplane mode, OR if my phone switches bands while I'm in Field Test.

Not yet, at least on the Sprint network. I hear T-Mobile has 4x2 deployments in Nokia vendor areas which will populate the 4 Tx value in iPhone field test mode..

T-Mobile runs 4x2 MIMO on most of their network. I've seen "Num tx antennas: 4" when I tossed in a T-Mobile sim the other day here in the Chicago market. I think they're the only provider running that configuration right now.

Only in Nokia land. Their Ericsson markets do not.

Probably true but is there a technical reason why nokia was able to do it faster?

Because they are the most organized, have the best team, and the best equipment. Something like that I assume.

 

IIRC, Nokia did a lot of T-Mobiles upgrades. Explains how they got LTE up so quick.

My response to him was simply going to be "Because Nokia..." because that pretty much says it all. Lol.

My company finally upgraded me to an iPhone with LTE. I was using the 4s and now have a 5s. The difference is night and day. Looking forward to taking CellularInfo for a spin!

Finally got the chance to add some new devices. Someone also asked me to show the BID instead of the NID in the widget when connected to 1X, if anyone prefers the previous format I can add that back as a setting in the next build.

I'm officially under 10 spaces free in my developer account, so I'm not going to be adding any more devices anytime soon. If you're already in, it'll continue working until late August (possibly longer, I'm not sure how these provisioning profiles work).

Cydia version is still in the works, hopefully we get an 8.2 jailbreak soon.

Do you have a version on Cydia at all? I haven't updated my new phone yet (still on 8.1.2)

Not yet. I don't want to upload it there until I can fix some crashes with the jailbreak features.

 

Cellularinfo is awesome. I do have a question tho. To use the "show LTE in statutes bar" option is there something else I need apart from having a jail broken iPhone ? I tried it but nothing changed.

It needs to be running as root for that to work. When installed through Beta/Crashlytics, it runs as mobile so it doesn't have permission to modify the status bar. There's also an accompanying daemon (which updates the status bar when the app isn't open) that can only be included in a Cydia package.

So in short, that won't work until it's on Cydia.

Ahhhhh I see.. Can't wait for the full featured version on cydia then. If it's ends up being a paid app it's be well worth it.
