Thanks to the selflessness of one of our members I now have a new shiny HTC ONE to play with! I am speechless! Its only a loaner but this is amazing!

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.

My experience with the second b25 carrier is that it is staying at around 6-12 mbps while the first is a lot slower in my experience. I figured the two would be about the same.

 

From what I've seen, once it's working properly, speeds have been similar on both. 2nd carrier isn't on every site here yet, but in the KS market where it is pretty much everywhere, speeds were 10-20Mbps on both carriers.

Along 170 from Olive to Delmar & on 70 by the airport.

That's weird...only thing I can think of is either an LTE only tower (you are connected to another carriers voice network) or US Cellular Roaming...both of which are unlikely where you are...

Especially considering USCC shut down in that area.

That's what I was thinking...hitting an LTE only tower and losing 3G/1x is a possibility - where I live there is no 3G or 1x but I get B41 from a nearby Clearwire conversion. So when I'm leaving my house, sometimes my iPhone picks up Verizon 1x and it shows extended LTE even though I'm connected to sprint LTE and Verizon 1x. This could be the problem considering he is using an iPhone...

Church street exit off 70

That was probably the cemetery site then. I pick that up at my house sometimes. But the signal is pretty weak so I've never seen speeds that high.

I've been hearing of other cities getting a 10 MHz b25 carrier and a 5 MHz b25 carrier. Do we have the spectrum in this market to make that possible here to or no?

 

Eventually, after further CDMA trimming. Right now 2 B25 (5x5) carriers will have to do, along with B26 and B41 2xCA.

I see. I haven't seen much progress in b41 lately...

 

Work really came to a crawl in the last few months of 2015 and the start of this year. If the information I'm seeing is correct, we should start to see work pick up again soon.

 

Also, 3rd carrier B41 should be coming to Sprint sites any day now.

That's quite strange considering that AT&T has a DAS in the stadium. What section are you in?

348, first base line.

My AT&T work phone is a brick at Busch. Sprint is doing great!

 

A Sprint phone in the hand is worth two in the Busch.

Edit: I asked Paul Kapustka from the Mobile Sports Report and his response was:

It would be kind of odd for AT&T to be bad on the surface, if indeed it is true that they are on the DAS. That said, there's a few factors that work against AT&T there. Mainly, that AT&T still has a super large customer base there, one of the largest in the country for them percentage wise. Any of the other carriers other than them probably worked great today. That said, there's still a lot of legacy users there from the Southwestern Bell days. AT&T corporate has more or less abandoned St. Louis. The legacy customer base there hasn't really left. I would have guessed VZ and T-Mobile would have greater customer bases there given they finished 1st and 2nd in Rootmetrics. That said, even Sprint beat out AT&T in 1H 2016. I suspect that gap could get even bigger if Sprint gears up NGN.

 

So if AT&T still has a larger customer base even though anything else works better in the city or anywhere around STL for that matter, at some stage I just throw up my hands.

 

Here's the stats from the Cubs series last year. Clearly that DAS is working in places. https://twitter.com/paulkaps/status/719716517399519232?s=09

The WiFi system at Busch is officially online for tonight's game. Cardinals twitter tweeted this photo of an antenna setup.

Looks like the WiFi deployment is completely separate from the DAS. Those antennas don't look like DAS to me. It'll be interesting to see how much people offload to WiFi and how it holds up. I might be there for a game this weekend.

We had a member there recently that pretty much confirmed that a B41 DAS is online, so there's that too!

Pregame on the DAS

My mom is on WiFi and it seems very responsive. Not sure of the actual speeds. My Nexus 5's WiFi chip stopped working so I can't connect.

      SignalCheck Beta Crew Forum

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
