Killswitch Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 So I'm not sure how far you are from the tower when you get the bad signal but about 25 minutes ago I was on 170 & Page and connected on Serving Cell 401 and got a DL of 12MB. Then it handed off to the Hanley and Natural Bridge site on Serving Cell 378. So not sure why your phone is getting a bad connection from that tower. I circle that whole area several times a day making deliveries. I usually take breaks at the QT on the West side of 170 on St. Charles Rock Road. The signal fades from weak to strong to at times no signal at all. I've posted the speeds in this thread to show how erratic it is. Since the Vinita Park tower started broadcasting, it has stayed the same UNLESS you get closer to the tower. I think the problem is the tower is too short.

Killswitch Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 How long does Sensory take to map? I drove most of the area circled 3 or 4 hours ago and no purple although it was showing I was getting LTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilg740 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 They are there now at the 3rd zoom level up. It usually takes 24 hours for all zoom levels to show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moses23 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yes we already have report of that and both SCID's. Thanks for the report though. I did a search in this thread and only saw mentions of St clair County. I was referring to the city. Just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing. Or maybe it was mentioned in a different thread and not this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was through a PM...got pictures of the site and the guy who emailed me had access to HTC and Samsung so we got both already. I should have put something in the thread though.

DMAC2021 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Is anyone else having trouble mapping with sensorly? I can't get it to map 4g on my One or my wife's S III. I hit to start mapping and it says it is, but plots 0 points... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that problem before i set it at like 35% and i couldnt figure out why it wouldnt map. Thats my best guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrbelex Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm connected to BSL "461-599 Jefferston Dr, St Louis" according to SignalCheck Pro. Anyone know exactly where the tower is? Also, does anyone know the closest tower to the intersection of Big Bend and Forest Park Pkwy and if it's already been upgraded? I'm on a GS2, there's no WiMAX nearby, and my reception and data speeds are horrible. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbolen Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Last night I had the Mifi at Urban Chestnut for an event and was pulling crazy good Band 41 LTE. I was feeling cocky, so I challenged friends with a Verizon phone & AT&T phone to a speedtest. Smoked them both by a wide margin. Sprint: ~19Mbps VZW: ~ 7Mbps AT&T: ~ 3.5Mbps 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethmcmichael Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 A little off the topic, but is there a way to open up the map in the Google Maps App, that way i can see where i am vs how close the tower is? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilg740 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I was on it and got the 3 digit SCIDs and got the HEX the other night. I toggled airplane mode to verify I was hitting that tower. Did you get the HEX for this one? I don't have it listed on the sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbolen Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Saturday-Monday Acceptances Maps are updating. That Maplewood site must suck for the neighborhood. It's a giant lattice tower right in the middle of a cul-de-sac. At any rate, that should really help with the footprint between the Jos. A White building and the rooftop pole at Manchester & Big Bend. Nice little triangle of coverage there... and the 2.5/2.6 site at Big Bend & 40 squaring it off (with some help from the soccer field site at Laclede Station Rd. & Dale Ave by Highway 40 when it finally goes live).

Fubie Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm shocked. LTE just showed up in Bethalto. My co-workers are actually laughing at me. Due to my current Rom I don't have a CID though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to my current Rom I don't have a CID though I will go that way after work. Give me an hour or so and I will be out there. Are you mapping?
