How do I see band 26 on my galaxy s4 is there a setting or code to find out what band im on???

 

Assuming you have the GS4T, dial ##33284# and type in 777468, then click on LTE. That will show what band you are connected to.

Can that be band 26 ? I did a little mapping this afternoon

No way to know without seeing your engineering screen. If you are near the cell site, it's going to show up dark purple no matter what band you are on.

To me it looks like some Band 26 is starting to ink through the Band 25 in some areas/routes. Good job!

So this happened this morning. My phone went to extended LTE ... I didn't know that was possible .. Since I haven't heard about LTE roaming agreements being made. Posted Image

Could it be that your voice signal was roaming but you had a native lte signal?

Sensorly is going to be very annoying for lots of people toting B25 only LTE handsets once B26 and B41 are widespread and online since there is no way to differentiate what bands laid down what purple on their maps. I believe they have stated that there is no known way to get that data either so it's not going to be "fixed".

The weird part was, before I took this screen shot, I was getting a real strong LTE signal in this location, where I normally do not. So that was also strange. You could be right, the extended is the voice. Normally I get full 3G signal in this location, than the bars went to 0... they were all blank.. and it kicked over to extended 3G.... and than Extended LTE. I took the screen shot as soon as I could, and as safely, since I was driving still.

Yeah, with multiple band pollution, Sensorly gets less reliable for predicting what kind of signal strength you will encounter, and more likely to determine just whether or not you can get a signal on Triband.

The sensorly issue hopefully won't be an issue for too long since everyone going forward will be slowly upgrading to tri band devices.

Except when people are on Triband devices, they will still get B41 and B25 signals and will map them polluting the B26 coverages over them.

still building from the outside in. I live in aurora and work in littleton. Hope to see lte soon in one of these areas!

Hey, its nowhere near me, doesn't mean I can't still think that the news is pretty great! Just hang tight, we'll get there.

So glad I was referred to this site. I'm up north in the Loveland/Berthoud area just west of I-25. We have been Sprint customers for years and went from having good 3g service to next to nothing. My wife has spent countless hours with Sprint getting the runaround on our service, and she's about ready to jump ship even with the hefty etf's. Just Wednesday, she spoke with a Sprint rep who told her that all upgrades and work was complete in our area and that she was closing our ticket, regardless of us not having service even in our own home. She was told the work was done and that the service was not going to get any better. I've tried till  I'm blue in the face to tell my wife that that simply isn't true.Unfortunately, she's been given the same song and dance for so long, she is no longer able to believe that the service will get better and doesn't care if it does...she's tired of waiting. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to make better sense of it all, and trying to find out what the real story is.

Welcome! Since you're a sponsor you've probably taken a look at the sites that are in your area that are getting upgraded. Colorado is on the verge of having a big cluster launch. The reps that are saying Sprint will not get any better are imbeciles and should honestly not be working for Sprint. My recommendation to you and your friends and family with sprint, is to show them this website. I've been tracking the rollout in my own city, and it kept me sane having this forum to come too for information. In fact, you might say its the only reason I stayed with Sprint.

    • What device is that on? 
    • Been in Japan for the past few days, and I'm about to leave today. Google Fi/Tmus roaming in Japan only had Softbank LTE, so it was pretty slow in busy areas, especially HND (albeit usable in most places). When I got to Osaka, I bought a KDDI native SIM from Aerobile, which is an esim reseller based in Taiwan. With this au/KDDI SIM, I could get NR, and that really improved the network experience here. Even though my phone is missing many ENDC combos here, having b1 + n77 or b3 + n77 or b41 + n78 really helps out with the congested LTE network here. As a bonus, 4cc n257 also works on my s24, and I've reached peaks of 2gbps with it. I'm heading to China today, so hopefully Google Fi supports 5G on whatever carrier they roam on in the mainland. If not, I'll probably be stuck on congested LTE like the first couple of days in Japan.
    • Mike, I just noticed on my S22 Ultra when connected to Verizon n261 SCP is reporting it as n257. I don't see mmwave very often and I didn't notice it at the time I was connected to it. Not sure if it matters but I'm on Visible. 
    • Here's my personal best, as well as the maximum speed I was able to get over 5gbps USB tethering. Millimeter wave is definitely a lot of fun, and I wish AT&T and T-Mobile would deploy a lot more of it.
