Not too severe of a problem, the actual raw numerical NCI value is what is recorded by SCP, what you see in the app (and on the map) is that value with various math/formatting applied. Looks like it's already been adjusted on the map, at least for T-Mobile in my area. I'll be tweaking SCP based on what the consensus is for appropriate values for the major providers.

Yet another SCP beta update is rolling out now! The new "Band" icons should now work properly on NR, and the font size and clarity has been improved..

That behavior is by design -- but I'm flexible. I'll get back to you on that. Sent you a PM about the gNB questions.

Another new SCP beta release is rolling out now! A full suite of 5G-NR icons with bands/frequencies are now available. A new status bar icon style has also been added. If you select "Band" the icon will simply show the connected band with either an "n" prefix (5G-NR) or a "B" prefix (LTE). This provides a more visible option for users to see what band they are currently connected to, with less extra text causing smaller fonts to be needed. Thanks!

When you say you "can see" those bands but "can't connect" do you mean you see them as neighbor cells? I'm not completely sure I understand what you're interpreting as seeing vs. connecting..

They can't get this version.. yet..

Another SCP update for the Beta Crew is rolling out now! All of the file operations have been overhauled, including import/export/backup routines as well as many things behind the scenes. Each user needs to click on Logs > Select Log Folder to configure their default folder for exported log files to reside in. It can be changed at any time, and this folder will not be deleted if you uninstall the app. Most existing users will probably be content with selecting the /SignalCheck folder from previous versions, but it's completely up to the user now. A new option has also been added for non-beta users to export data files to be manually processed on the mapping site. This is a temporary band-aid until beta testing of the mapping feature is complete (and I get password authentication working from within the app). Beta users do not have this option, as the much simpler Upload option replaces it. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!

I believe that /Android/data is only supposed to allow access to the app you are using; ie if you are using SCP, you should only be able to access the com.blueline.signalcheck folder. But while I can see most folders on my phone from within SCP, I can't see that one. Very odd. I am working on it!

Sorry about this; I'm unable to replicate this issue, but it's certainly possible given the current state of things. I'm halfway through overhauling all of the file routines; when I'm done, my intent is to display the native Android file picker instead of the custom one in SCP. New Android security rules really limit what third-party apps have access to without explicit user input.

Another update to the update already rolling out! Log import/export/backup was not working properly due to a permissions reconfiguration. You will likely need to re-approve storage permission the first time you attempt to import/export/backup again.

A new release for the Beta Crew is rolling out now! Fixes for map uploads, 5G info improvements, and more. Android 5.0 is now the oldest version supported. Full change log is available in the app or on the website. Significant changes had to be made to the file system routines; CSV exports, database backups, and failed uploads are now saved in /Android/data/com.blueline.signalcheck due to Android security requirements. Please note -- this folder is deleted if the app is uninstalled, so be sure to copy important files elsewhere! If you have the previously-used /SignalCheck folder on your device, that will remain intact if you uninstall, but no new files will automatically be added there. I am working on an option to let the user choose where to save items, but for now that new folder must be used. Thanks!

FYI -- I am aware that some users (including me) are unable to upload map data due to new Android security rules that were either implemented in the December Android update or some other OTA update. It also impacts the ability to import/export/backup logs. I am working on a fix..

I finally got my hands on a Pixel 6 and started using it this week. I was able to get SCP working, but there are some issues beyond my control that will need to be resolved with future system updates. No LTE or NR neighbor cells are reported, and NR NCI appears to always be invalid. I will file a bug report with Google and update this post with a link for upvotes.

I tried so many avenues.. kept getting different answers as to why I had to call a different number. Chat, Twitter, magic box, regular support.. finally got someone to open a tech support ticket for it. Apparently nobody knows what a CellSpot or an Airave is, and when I finally got someone who did, they couldn't access my account because it's SWAC. Supposedly I'm getting a callback eventually, but I'm not optimistic. They basically said the coverage map showed good service in my area (it's a farce.. can't even make calls driving through town) so there was nothing they could do besides troubleshoot my device. Nobody would listen to my claims that my indoor coverage got even worse when I switched to TNX. 1X800 wasn't great but at least MMS/SMS worked. Now I can't even get that. Wifi calling works, but SMS/MMS doesn't seem to work unless I have a mobile connection also. The texting issue is my only real problem at home.

Guess I will be reaching out to them again today! Thanks.

Are CellSpots still working/available? T-Mobile told me that was not an option for me when I called about my Airave deactivated.

Most of the native API methods were added in Android 10, but not every manufacturer takes advantage of them immediately. Your report showed there was no cell info at all being reported by the standard methods at the time of your report. You should've seen NR signal strength because the app appeared to be catching that through a different method.

I just have not had time to create all of the necessary icons and implement it yet. It's on the list!

Others have explained it in better detail in this thread and various others, but manufacturers/providers have basically decided to display the 5G icon when you are connected to a 5G-capable site, regardless if you have an active 5G connection or not. To me, it is very misleading. You shouldn't need an app like SignalCheck to see the truth. As far as seeing the 5G band, yes it is because the device/OS is not reporting it. When on non-standalone 5G, it's rare to see much more information than what you had in your screenshot. If you had a standalone connection (no LTE anchor), you would see full information with band and site ID. Since updating my Pixel 5 to Android 12, it is frequently reporting band info on NSA -- but as a bogus neighbor cell. I'm working on recognizing that and getting it working for the next app update.

Yes, over the summer, although it doesn't sound like customers were notified. I'm unhappy because Sprint MMS does not work over Wi-Fi and there is no replacement femtocell coming.

This.. I'm currently working on changing the upload progress window to a pulldown notification instead. It'll stay out of the way but be visible if you want to see progress. And any errors/responses will be in your notification shade until you choose to clear it.

After 7 months of beta testing, an updated version of SignalCheck Pro has finally been released! Version 4.68 is now live on Google Play for all users. It includes tons of bugfixes, significant 5G-NR improvements, and other things that will make your day better. The full changelog is available at https://signalcheck.app/change-log. Please feel free to post here or reach out with any questions. I appreciate everyone's support (and patience), thank you!

Sorry, I missed this post earlier -- most mobile providers are now displaying a "5G" logo in the system bar when you are connected to a site that has 5G-NR capabilities, but it does not mean that you have an active 5G-NR connection. It's very misleading, but it seems like all of the major companies are doing it now. I looked at your reports, nothing indicates that you had a whiff of 5G at the time. Keep hunting..

I experienced that myself a couple days ago, working on a resolution! I may move the uploading pop-up to an Android notification.. we'll see. For now, you should be able to get around it by clearing SCP from your recent apps and then reopening it.

Those of you having issues with SCP -- how large are your log databases? Check Logs > Statistics.. maybe different size DBs are the reason for different stability levels?
