anthony.spina97 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 First, this better belongs in the iPhone thread(s). And second, what would you like to know? -Anthony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony.spina97 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The only real feedback I can offer is that the System ID or SID is not what I would expect to see for 1x800, but then again, Alcatel might have their SIDs assigned differently than Samsung markets like mine. I think all the Ohio markets, Pittsburgh and West PA all use a 5 digit SID that starts with 22 for 1x800. The PCS SIDs here are 4 digits and begin with 4 like what is displayed in your screenshot. My market primarily uses SID 4396 for 1x1900. The thing is, on the iPhone, 1x800, or Band Class 10, comes up as "Secondary 800 MHz band[10]" whereas his screenshots say 800 MHz cellular band, which on the iPhone comes up as band class 0, and is used by Verizon and many other carriers, but AFAIK, not Sprint. The Field Test screen seems like it may be bugged and is displaying older info/mixed info, which wouldn't surprise me considering how buggy it is. -Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flompholph Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 According to my logs the sid 4162 for sprint can be found in Northeast PA east through North New Jersey and into Connecticut. 1x800 in that area uses a SID of 22422. I would like to know what the channel number means Each band is broken down into different channels. The channel number is used to find the center frequency. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-345-whats-the-frequency-kenneth-interpreting-your-engineering-screen-part-one/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAvirani Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 iPhone 6S field test is extremely unreliable. My phone ALWAYS displays Band 0 in 1x despite the correct band being displayed in the 1xEV-DO section. This does not appear to be a problem that Apple will address. Best thing to do is go off of the SID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAvirani Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Understood I m the only one in my area tracking upgrades Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk Yea...in my findings, field test for 3G/1x only works once per boot so after you've opened it once and it populates, you have to reboot your phone if you want to open it up again. 1x band class usually never loads, EVDO works some of the time. Honestly if you can get SID to load it's petty much always correct so that's your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
