Interesting, I assume they'll turn off Topeka when Kansas City goes dark.  The signal has always been on here, but various times I get authentication errors.  Data counter still reports zero too!

 

Probably a good assumption. But that's a protection site, so what happens with service on those sites is a still a little up in the air.

No, that is not an "article." It is a company/organization press release written by public relations people.  There is a difference between that and an "article."

I loved how they claimed to be the only ones defending Internet access for the poor in America, but last I checked the poor could go to the library in most places and use the Internet for no charge. Inner cities usually have fast cable internet access, and the cable providers usually have inexpensive low cost options for unlimited wired access, so that whole claim reeked of BS.

But, Ryan, if not for these Mobile Beacon hotspots, how will the poor afford to play their Xbox One online networked games and stream Hulu to their flat panel TVs?

This was a condition of Comcast buying NBC. If one can't afford $10 a month then why would these need an Xbox or a flat panel TV?

You need to reboot your sarcasm detector.  It must have locked up today.

 

I was making light that poor people who supposedly cannot afford home Internet access frequently have nice gaming systems, TVs, not to mention, cellphones.

My sarcasm detector is fine. I was just making light of the fact that these people have lots of options other than Mobile Beacon. Of course I'm aware this is a country where the poor have big screen TV's.

 

I knew there was sarcasm but I felt I needed to make the point Mobile Beacon wasn't needed.

No problem, Ryan. I concur on all points.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
