My Pixel on the A3 was the same way, would hang onto fringe signal if it could connect to it. Wouldn't shake unusable 1X800 unless it completely disappeared. The only way to know if you're on 1x800 is to check engineering screens or an app like SignalCheck. -Mike

I think a lot of people might not be realizing the distances are off.. I swear mine were previously correct, but since it was brought to my attention I'm starting to second guess myself as well. I'm going to keep watching responses about this to see if it turns out that everyone actually needs their values corrected. I also considered using miles, but the general standard for TA seemed to be meters or feet. I will make some changes to that, I think I'd prefer miles as well -- especially since with the 2x correction factor applied, you're losing some accuracy anyway. You'll never see an odd-numbered TA value with the correction option enabled. Aha.. I thought there was a reason I was discarding BID 0 -- thank you for reminding me. The reason this changed in the most recent version is because the Airave 4 uses BID 0. I'll adjust it to continue discarding BID 0 except if it appears to be an Airave. Ugh, these complications were what I was overly concerned with a few years ago when I first started linking offset GCIs. Any suggestions for how to address this? -Mike

Send me a PM with your Google account email. Please send a diagnostic report when connected to 5G too. Disappointed to see it doesn't work in your screenshot, I thought I had the basics in there to at least show it as 5G up top.. hopefully I'm close! -Mike

Excellent! At first, I didn't receive any reports except for yours, but eventually a few people reached out and said it looked like their device was reporting about half of what it should.. my Pixel 3 was very accurate at first but then I noticed it too, possibly after a software update. Hopefully it either gets resolved across the board or I can eventually identify specific devices/scenarios it impacts so I can automate the correction. -Mike

Full Airave 4 support is in the latest version of SignalCheck Pro, rolling out on Google Play within the hour.. yay! -Mike

Another new beta rolling out now! Minor changes since the update a couple of days ago -- Sprint 10x10 is displayed again, in-app purchases are back again, and Airave 4 stuff is fixed. A public update is also going out that rolls up all of the changes to this point, except for in-app purchases. More coming soon! Thanks for all of your help.. I sincerely appreciate it! -Mike

The latest update to SignalCheck Pro will be available on Google Play within the hour! As always, some much needed bugfixes and a few new features. Here is the full changelog with some details: Added ability to look up network registrant by clicking on IP address. This is kind of cool -- if you have the mobile IP address display enabled (which constantly uses small bits of data to anonymously ping a public server -- so there may be a battery impact, however minimal, if you keep this on 24/7), if you click on it you'll get a popup showing the owner of record for your IP. Added option to display carrier aggregation info on Android 9.0+ devices [BETA]. This is cool but very unreliable at this point. This is a newer Android function that needs further improvements by device manufacturers. Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's not -- SCP will report whatever your OS is reporting. Unfortunately I cannot do much more to improve this functionality until vendors/manufacturers fix things on their end. Added indicators for Sprint Airave 4 CDMA/LTE connections. Resolved issue with CDMA site notes and logging not working when connected to Sprint Airave 4. These changes should provide full compatibility for users connecting to Sprint's brand new Airave 4. Thanks to your diagnostic reports I was able to tackle this shortly after the device began shipping! Resolved issue with no signal alerts not triggering. This alert probably never worked for most users -- but nobody mentioned it! Should be fixed now. I personally find this alert extremely useful. Added additional information to Logger Statistics screen. Hope to add more stuff like this in the future, stats and data are cool. Added option to apply a correction factor to LTE timing advance (TA) value. Some devices report LTE TA as approximately one-half of the actual value. Enable this option to manually apply a correction. If device manufacturers correct this in the future, simply disable the option.. and hopefully someday it can be removed completely. Removed option to exclude logcat output from diagnostic reports. This option was needed in early (4+ years ago) versions due to issues with force closes. This is no longer an issue and only provides confusion -- and less information to help me diagnose crashes. The only logcat output included in diagnostic reports is whatever SCP generates, and all reports are completely anonymous unless you provide identifying information. Resolved force closes when permissions were denied/revoked. Resolved internal exception when installing version 4.52. Resolved issue with EARFCN values off by 1 for some LTE band 66 and 71 cells. Resolved issue with missing LTE data on some Android 7+ devices. Resolved issue with missing popup when permissions were denied. Updated help screen. All should be self-explanatory. Squashing bugs never ends! As always, I sincerely appreciate everyone's support and please let me know of any issues! More new stuff in the pipeline.. Thanks, -Mike

It recently stopped working on my Airave 3 before I shipped it back too. -Mike

Wi-Fi Calling generally works well on my Pixel 3. It didn't work with airplane mode enabled for at least the first 4 months, but I just tested it a moment ago and it did work. An Android and/or carrier update at some point must have fixed that -- I hadn't tried it in awhile so I can't say when that happened. -Mike

Sorry, I meant a diagnostic report from within the app (About > Send Diagnostics). Thanks! -Mike

Selfishly reposting.. if those of you getting new Airaves could send SCP diagnostic reports once connected to it, I would appreciate it! Please include your username or an email, and a note that says it's from an Airave 4. I only need one per Airave, so thank you to the two of you who have already sent reports. If you're only getting CDMA for now, I'll still take a report, feel free to send another once you get LTE going. -Mike

Thanks! I only need that report, but I'm sure the rest of the group would love screenshots here of whatever you have.. -Mike

Another beta update rolling out within the hour.. Added ability to look up network registrant by clicking on IP address (kinda fun). Added in-app purchase capabilities for contributions and upgrades (will eventually lead to Lite merging with Pro). Added indicators for Sprint Airave 4 CDMA/LTE connections (work in progress, but working with what we know so far). Resolved issue with no signal alerts not triggering (had no idea this was broken the whole time). Also, my development software (Android Studio) has been injecting some weird background errors, so please let me know if you see any strange behavior or logcat output. It doesn't seem to impact performance so I'm not sure if anyone will see it besides me. -Mike

I thought I replied earlier, but I don't see it now.. if you (or anyone else who connects to an Airave 4) could send a diagnostic report through SCP, I would appreciate it! I only need one report per Airave, but the more I get the quicker I can learn how to properly identify it in SCP. Please note on the report that it's an Airave 4 connection so I can keep track. Thanks! -Mike
