Sorry, I'm pretty new to all of this, I'm in the "Field Test" menu, what screen do you need to see?

Open the dialer and dial *3001#12345#*

Select LTE and/or Serving Cell Info

Physical Cell ID and Cell Identity are both values pertaining to the site ID. Post both.

 

 

The sheet editors will then convert this cell identity from decimal to HEX format to compare/confirm sites on the sheet.

[benjammin2184]

can't post a screen shot at the moment, but Physical Cell ID: 86 and Cell Identity: 182460930

[bosox801]

86 is a new one maybe they are testing another site :-)

I only have 1 bar and the speed isn't any faster than 3G at the moment but its promising.

Are you keeping tracking the GCI's (cell identities from iPhones and HTC devices)? Once you have a few you can figure out the pattern and know exactly which site they are "testing".

 

For instance the one post above is AE02202.  Drop the last two as that is the 2nd sector.

[bosox801]

I am tracking them as we get them how ever we only have it for one site as of now. I haven't had a chance to convert the one from the above site yet.

FYI on those confirming sites. In our market we prefer people to get a -80ish or better LTE signal, it just makes sure the site is the one you are at.

[benjammin2184]

So what does it mean that in West Valley I'm getting a -118? Am I just getting a faint signal from the 2100 S tower?

Maybe, but as bosox reported, that Cell ID you reported (86) is not one that I saw at the 2100 S tower, and I pulled all three.

[bosox801]

Not sure 86 is not a sector anyone has reported yet.

Here's the screen shot I got earlier, across the street west of Valley Fair Mall:

I live right in that area and I will check to see what I can find maybe drive around a lil bit after work.

The Engineering screen shows the LTE I'm connected to at my apartment in Provo near 700 North 700 West. I also attached a screenshot of the jailbreak app called Signal 2 showing me that I was connected to the tower I always connect to at my apartment and not Spanish Fork like someone suggested. But I need a pro to tell me for sure. If I really am connecting in Provo could they be testing here and just not sending out full signal power?

That app does not show your LTE connection. If shows the 1x connection and that's only if the site is sending put the right coordinates. I never trust though apps at all.

[trevlegit]

Thanks digiblur. I didn't know that. So would the speedtest app by ookla be the same way if I did a speedtest while on LTE and then look at the coordinates? Would that be showing me the LTE tower I was connected to while doing the test if it was sending out the correct coordinates?

No that's your location.

 

LTE sites do not send out their location, just like EVDO doesn't. Only way is to track them down and get that -70 signal or so and put it on a spreadsheet and map.

Ok thanks! So is that cell ID the one for Spanish fork then that I'm picking up?

They are tracking the sites on a spreadsheet. If it isn't listed then you will need to find it.

[oldpapa2003]

Ok, I took pixs, so Im puttin the best from my cell.. Not good.. But if you look, there seems to be a few ants.

 

[Shanner068]

I read that all of Samsung's equipment is capable of putting out both 3G and LTE. Just wondering why the LTE sites aren't 3G accepted as well.

[illest_ios]

maybe they are still being twaeking, and only doing LTE because of how long everyone has been waiting for it... haha idk! good question.

[Pvtjoker1981]

I got a question. I just bought a house out in Tooele, will they be seeing a LTE upgrade in the near future?

[illest_ios]

im not sure, i think either bosox or digiblur could answer that...
