Hey all, I know I know, you all have SCP, LTE Discovery, CellMapper, etc. but I've been working on my own signal status Android App for the past bit now.  I've "published" it to Google play (it's free) but I'm the only one who's ever used it.  I don't intend to ever make money on it but if anyone is interested, feel free to PM me and I'll invite you to the beta group.  It does personal (not crowd sourced) signal mapping, doesn't use a lot of data, and hopefully correctly identifies band information.

I'm in beta but can't download

Does it give you any kind of error message?  Looking at my developer console it appears some of the others have been able to download.

 

I've tried removing and re-adding you to the Beta list, so try again (may have to opt-in again, not sure).  Sorry for the issues but this is my first app on Google Play.

Good luck! This crowd will start throwing tomatoes at you before you know it (just kidding!!) Google has simplified the beta testing features recently but I haven't tried them out yet. Let me know if there's something you think I might be able to help you with on that end. I'm a terrible programmer though so I wouldn't recommend asking me those kinds of questions.

Yes we will. It's cute that Mike thinks we don't have an alert set up to track his posts. lol

 

But AgathosAnthropos if you have coding questions just throw them out some one may be able to help.

Thanks.  To be honest, my original idea was to just use your exported database and generate a Google Map of the data, but I figured I wouldn't be allowed to do such a thing via Google Play (read in another app's DB, even if it's been exported to a shared directory) so it has since expanded into tracking the data myself.

The biggest coding question I'll likely have is band identification issues pre availability of EARFCN in the API's.  I'm a software engineer by trade (though I don't use or particularly like Java); my biggest issue thus far has been getting enrolled in Google Play developer console and doing Beta releases.

Do you mean sectors used to ID Bands?

I don't think that is an issue.. you can't directly read any other app's databases (Android security won't let you), but if it's saved in an non-protected folder (like the /sdcard/SignalCheck folder) it's fine. Once you export the data, it's available for anything. I don't think Google Play would block it, and there are certainly no issues on my end. I encourage people to use the data for anything they want. If you created an import function for your own app I think it would be cool. I have plans for a mapping component in SCP but it's far from ready.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By PedroDaGr8 · Posted

      Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!

      That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.

      T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.
