  1. Some of that is exaggeration I am sure.. Like the 28 radio heads. We all know that wouldn't fly. Literally.
  2. Although different bands but I think this radio is awesome as well. Watched it slip between band 17, band 4 and band 2 with ease. Even some of those transitions were different channels. I would have never noticed unless I wasn't looking. Never dropped LTE through some very rural roads for 3 hours. Excellent work on this side of the modem.
  3. Not everything, they are good at a few things.. (stares at spectrum analyzer, only sees multiple LTE channels on 700mhz and AWS from the other 3 carriers in Sprint launched LTE market) Let me get back to you on those things
  4. Someone needs to mash that wash rinse repeat cycle of the Fail to Plan is a Plan to Fail. The plan to continue to give away tablets with free data plans to fluff up the numbers is working very well. Samsung loves it!
  5. That odd kinda sorta DAS cascade threw us off for while especially with it not listed as a DAS. Glad to see all the pieces come together on that mystery.
  6. Imagine if they put that $$$$ towards network expansion and bit of marketing that is dumbed down for the masses. Simple commercials without all the talking elephants, giraffes, thugs, hippies, etc, just some average folks. People love maps so show them a map points all over with new coverage. Zoom into the point quickly showing some people posting/viewing videos, pics, listening to music on their phones with the quickness. Then you can adopt the Done. thing again. "More Coverage. More Speed. That's Sprint speak. Done."
  7. Another GCI range to add to your chart, some folks in the NOLA area found a DAS with GCI's ending in 04, 05, 06. It's an odd one since it covers many streets. After some digging and researching things, this video was also found by JWMaloney. If you feel like doing a 310-410 conversion as well for 0F, 10, 11 being B17 and 16, 17, 18 being B4. Their B17 DAS's seem to be 13, 14, 15 for B17. Not sure if that mess up anything as I have no idea what they use on PCS or Cellular LTE bands for GCIs.
  8. Wow you work fast! Excellent work. Nailed it on both items perfectly!
  9. Sounds good. The sites use 310410 as reported by your app and mikejeeps but my SIM is 310150. Can't wait for the HSPA mapping! Been bored on mapping lately and want to figure out their pattern on the HSPA side. But of course, no hurry.
  10. Happened to snag it on a reload the other day. Glad to see the updates. One thing I have noticed is my SIM makes it go to Sprint LTE on the map instead of AT&T by default. No biggie as I use it for logging more and throw it into Google fusion tables. Hands down the best app for manually finding a site! Mapped over 80 sites out and tracked them down. Couldn't have done it any other way. One question.. Is there a way we can log the HSPA sites? Like tower ID, signal, LAT long, etc? That would be awesome.
  11. Well at first it wasn't as I rarely use the Reset Mobile button. I had to grant it root and it still didn't let me access the engineering screen. I exited the app completely and started it again to be sure. Just says not available on this device or something like that.
  12. No issues with the upgrade here. Works well. Just use this for the shortcut for now. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cellmapper.nexus5fieldtestmode
  13. I always found that the older radio, the one that shipped with the initial N5 (think that was 17?) held on to LTE way too long before dropping to 1x/EV. I would end up in places with hanging on to LTE that wasn't usable and texting would end up not working plus inbound calls would fail. And this wasn't a CSFB issue.
  14. The debug/engineering one doesn't work, I haven't pulled the logcat yet to see what it is doing. The Nexus field app was updated today and that one opens the LTE engineering screen just fine though. My Quickshortcut stopped working so I figure I just need to do a root script on my home screen to fix it. Liking this radio a bit better. The transition to and from B4 from 17 wasn't bad before but I see they've tweaked it a bit better.
  15. Finally got the B26 pattern figured out for both markets for my folks and made a file with all the sectors. Right around 3000 rows. I did add an index based on the plmn and GCI for quicker lookups though. All seems well and it identifies them fine even with a big file.
  16. Minutes to do and the signal looks a hair better on band 17 like I used to get a -103 in the house and now I see a -98 or so. Curious to see how it handles the shifts between band 4 and 17. They locked out permissions on the debug app so my shortcut no longer works and dialer code doesn't work with my SIM type. Might have to do a shell script with root access to call it. No biggie. Weird part is they didn't update the apk for it so something else is blocking it.
  17. If you are using that old 15 radio then you will need to upgrade it. I also saw this same thing on dead LTE sites or when LTE was very marginal.
  18. Unfortunately no. A member watched a Ericsson truck roll to the site, LTE was working on B25, Ericsson enabled B26 with no CSFB. His phone dropped to EVDO. Ericsson did a quick drive test and hit the road. Leaving it broken for a while for B26 CSFB users. The reason being is they test with EVO LTE's and aircards and call it a day. And I'll take the last sentence of your message as a joke or maybe the whole thing next time.
  19. A Loco M2 isn't an extender. It's a directional wifi AP and antenna in one. I really doubt a wifi extender can shoot a mile down the road with 2 RF chains reliably like the Loco can.
  20. I think that's Ericsson spending too much time on Bourbon street again. The PCI shows it as being the gamma sector, but who knows if they can add 169 anymore.
  21. Let's see how good the weather man's forecast is this time...
  22. If you have the Franco kernel loaded you don't have to do that boot from kernel step.
