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.

Paid Cydia apps are pirated around 75% of the time, so it's not really worth it. It'll be free.

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

You could always add an option in the app to allow someone to donate. A lot of Cydia developers do that in their apps.

Made the mistake of going to public beta 2.

Well on the bright side, you just saved me the hassle of testing it out. ;)

The issue with private APIs is that Apple can change things without any notice. And they also don't provide a fix. I'll look into iOS 8.3 when I get a chance.

I never understood the purpose of "Launcher." It seem like more work to pull down the shade, scroll, and click as opposed to just clicking it on your home screen.

It's actually not more work lol. It's so much more simpler to go from app to app through the notification center rather than have to scroll through your pages and what not.

I'm the same way, except every app is in just one folder named "Apps." I use searchlight for everything. My wife has like 9 pages and it drives me nuts. Not a single folder.

I'd use spotlight search if I wasn't so set in my ways...takes me a month to get used to anything different.

My most needed apps are on page 1, the rest is sorted between productivity apps in folders on page 2, and games on page 3.

Soooo, how is everyone doing with the app? It got quiet in here.

I took it as a good sign. I've been working on it when I can. Adding support for HSPA and WiFi at the moment. WiFi info might need a jailbreak though. Speaking of jailbreak, those features are on hold because I was forced to restore my jailbroken iPhone 5. Sorry :(

GCI's are 8 characters correct? I thought I had read that it went something like this: XXX_XXX_XX.  First set of XXX is market ID.  Second set of XXX is tower identifier.  Third XX is sector.  Is that correct?

 

Reason I ask is that on at least a few towers here - I am seeing different tower identifiers for B41 compared to B25/B26.

 

My area is rural enough that I can see the full breadth of connection from B41 to B25 to B26 to 3G to 1x.  Not so concerned about 3g and 1x, but the LTE GCI discrepancies are confusing the **** out of me.  :)

I'll update my 5 to the beta and see what I can do. I might not be able to do it until 8.3 is jailbroken though.

I've noticed the same thing. I'm not sure how it works, but I do know that the ID shown is the one reported by the OS. Hopefully someone else has more info on that.

Any way to get the UARFCN and Num Tx antennas on the widget? Or maybe a way to have the user select which 5 of (whatever) fields to be displayed? That would be awesome.

Num Tx Antennas is nowhere to be found. I have no idea why. It's the only item from the Serving Cell Info screen that I can't find.

I like that second idea. I'll definitely do that.

On Sprint, this has shown to be accurate. Other providers probably do something similar; the last two GCI bits identifying the sector appears to be standard.

Sprint B25 and B26 connections from the same site will show the same first 6 GCI characters for most markets. I believe Samsung users do not enjoy this though. B41 connections from the same site are offset from the B25/B26. There are several posts about this scattered around the forum; I believe the offset is 1450 (hex).

I'm noticing that after having the notification shade down for like 10-20 seconds, CellularInfo goes blank. Anyone else have this problem?

That's what happens when iOS decides that it's using too much memory. I'm not sure what I can do about that, maybe try increasing the update time to 2 or 3 seconds? Mine is on 3 and I don't have that issue.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
