It seems its working in some markets and not others just wondering if anyone in this area is seeing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesmann Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 So slightly off topic but drove out to Hermann just to see if LTE roaming on US Cellular was indeed working... Had to go to LTE only because my phone was still trying to keep a 1x800 connection speed isn't too bad either for roaming and being in a rural area... I have Signal Check on since Washington and went out Hwy 100 to 19 probably going down 19 to 50 then back to Union had a lot of converted towers that I don't have site notes for if anyone wants the log when I get done let me know Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still were using an LG G3 and had LTE roaming on USCC, that would have been remarkable -- because it would have required band 26 MFBI or illegal band 5. Also, since SignalCheck Pro does not have USCC GCI to band detection, you should take a screenshot of your LTE engineering screen to check the band, either band 5 or band 12.

WiWavelength Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Okay I didn't even realize both of those things Confirming the band may help mikejeep add USCC GCI to band detection. In this case, band 12 looks like it could be the primary carrier -- because of the low last two digits of the GCI. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesmann Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 My adventure is over i believe I hit 3 unique US Cellular sites two were Band 12 and I was on that first site via all 3 sectors for a long time I did pick up a completely different GCI and I checked and it was Band 5 so I'll post that I guess for the hope that mikejeep can possibly get a pattern to identify... LTE Discovery did not show a band and surprisingly the only indication that I was roaming on the phone was "Extended Area" on the lock screen if you don't notice that or have something like Signal Check you probably wouldn't realize it Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it would map for USCC since the phone is reporting a USCC connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAvirani Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 What would it report? I would think it would map for USCC since the phone is reporting a USCC connection. Not sure about android but on iPhone the carrier name is always reported as sprint even when roaming. The indicator at the top changes to extended but all of the signalcheck-like apps report the carrier to be sprint. Mb it's different on android idk. I just thought it would be good so that people that looked at sensory would be able to see everywhere they would get LTE on sprint roaming or not.

After all how does sprints 3G map on sensory have an incredible amount of Verizon roaming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or make a distinction between native and roaming. I'm not sure how Sensorly decides what kind of signal it is getting, so until someone actually attempts to map it, I'm not sure it will show on Sprint. It may, but if it is based on the PLMN then it may get mapped as USCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickie546 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Most towers in Jeff city and all so far on east side of the lake have 2nd carrier. Rickie Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Most towers in Jeff city and all so far on east side of the lake have 2nd carrier. And that probably is quite recent. I was in Jefferson City once every two weeks this fall, and I did not note a band 25 second carrier. But it seems to be spreading like wildfire across both the Kansas and Missouri markets.
