Sure, never hurts.. were you connected to an Airave 3 at one point then handed off to the main network?

 

 

 

Do you have an active mobile data connection (not on Wi-Fi)? Send a diagnostic, I'll take a peek!

Just pushed out an update to SignalCheck Pro, version 4.44.. everyone can grab it on Google Play here! It was more significant than I originally intended, but that's good for you guys.. here are the highlights:

 

NEW OPTIONS:

 

Display mobile connection IP address

When the app is in the foreground and the mobile data connection (not Wi-Fi) is active, you will see your external IP address displayed. PLEASE NOTE: This feature uses data. It pings my server which simply responds with your external IP -- nothing is captured, logged, or saved at all. It is only a small amount of data (literally, the response is just your IP in plain text), but it will happen every time your mobile signal changes. I do not expect it to be a significant amount of data, but for an app that really doesn't use data, this is something worth pointing out. When the app is not in the foreground, you are on Wi-Fi, or this option is disabled (as it is by default), nothing is displayed and no data is used.

 

Display Reset Mobile Connection button on the action bar

You can now show the button on the main screen, action bar, both, or neither.

 

Hide CDMA 1X display when connected to LTE

If you're a big fan of neighbor cells, this should give you more screen real estate. This only changes the main screen display; logs will still record GCI and any notification icons will still reflect a 1X connection if present.

 

Display LTE ECI (decimal) instead of GCI (hex)

Somebody asked for it a long time ago. This only changes the main screen display; logs will still record GCI.

 

 

NOTABLE NEW FEATURES:

 

Added feature to add current location to a site note

When editing a site note, you will see a new button "HERE" that will fill the prompt with your current location if you have the app's Location Service enabled. If "HERE" is grayed out, the app didn't have your location coordinates at the time you opened the prompt. If you decide you don't want to use the address that pops up, simply cancel the prompt and your previous note will remain in place.

 

Improved diagnostic reports; failed reports will now be saved and can be manually resubmitted from the Send Diagnostics screen

If you try to send diagnostics but your connection (or my server) is unavailable, the report will be saved on your device. It will be attempted again when you send another report, or if you select the "Send Saved" option from the diagnostic report screen. Should be very helpful to those of you who do testing with deactivated devices.

 

Changed provider to indicate if CDMA 1X connection is a Sprint Airave or 800 SMR

This helps make CDMA logs a bit more useful, and brings CDMA logging more in line with how LTE providers are logged.

 

Added donation link to About screen

Those of you who have asked for it, you can now throw me a few extra bucks if you're feeling generous. You will get nothing in return other than knowing you made my day and motivated further development! Thank you!

 

 

BUG FIXES AND LESS-EXCITING STUFF:

• Added indicators for some Sprint LTE band 25 oDAS cells.
• Added notification icons for LTE bands outside of North America.
• Resolved force closes at startup in certain situations.
• Resolved force closes when requested permissions are not immediately granted on Android 6+.
• Resolved issue with connection titles overlapping signal meters.
• Resolved issue with geocoder features not working.
• Resolved issue with LTE 1900 notification icons missing.
• Resolved issue with LTE band conflicts between native EARFCN and GCI-calculated band.
• Resolved issue with LTE frequency title not updating properly in certain situations.
• Resolved issue with misidentified Sprint LTE band 25 10×10 sites in certain areas.
• Resolved issue with unreliable CDMA 1X BSL and Site Note displayed in the notification pulldown when a call is in progress.

A *long* overdue update to SignalCheck Lite is finally on the horizon as well, it will bring the free version up to speed with all relevant features and fixes to date.

 

As always, feedback is welcomed and my sincerest thanks to everyone for their support. And to my Beta Crew for being a huge help!

I just tried as well and ran into the same issue.. I don't know what keeps happening. The app sends the data to a very simple script on my website, a script that I never touch. I have no idea why it keeps giving that odd "Temporary Redirect" error. I'm on it...

Mike, tried sending diagnostic, but said failed

Flompholph nailed it.. it's not a bug, that is how the app has always functioned. I do feel your pain, because when I'm trying to ID a new 1X connection it's annoying.

 

LTE sites are easier to correlate because there is a clear, consistent pattern between GCIs at the same site. On the CDMA side, a character in the hex BID value does indicate the sector, but as stated, it varies depending on which market you are in. I tried coming up with something to match these up, but it proved to be sloppy and unreliable at the time.

 

If I could determine a way to identify which BID configuration is in play (I'm guessing there might be a range of SIDs for each vendor?), I might be able to revisit it.

Mike, I've encountered a bug where changing a site note on the 1x side doesn't change them all. I remember the lte notes did the same thing but you fixed that. Any way to address this in future builds? Thanks for all you do!

Nothing since my initial back-and-forth with them. Sent a follow-up status check last week and haven't heard back. Shot a tweet and developer forum post at them too. I was surprised to get any reply initially (I've tried reaching out to them in the past) but it gave me some optimism. I will keep on them.

 

IIRC, back when GCIs were added in Android 4.2, they were the last OEM to properly report those too..

Any word from Samsung about native Earfcn support?

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Mike, in the status bar it shows just the 2 dashes when connected to WiFi calling. Could that be change somehow to reflect it saying WiFi calling or something like that?

You mean Hazard the city? There is no Hazard County. You will be serviced by Appalachian Wireless LTE as if you were on the Sprint network. It will show up as an Extended partner. So long as you have a phone that supports Band 12 (700MHz).

 

Once you enter their territory reboot the phone. I always do entering roaming areas. If you are coming in off I75 going down Hal Rodges Parkway towards Hazard, you'll lose Sprint, jump on Verizon for ~5 miles and a few miles outside Manchester hit Appalachian Wireless LTE.

 

Now if you don't have a B12 phone, you are going to have a bad time. For some reason Appalachian Wireless 3G isn't seen as extended, so you will be fully roaming, capped at ~150Kbps and use your roaming bucket up in no time.

 

Your LTE coverage will be the same as if you were on VZW. VZW uses Appalachian Wireless to provide their LTE coverage.

 

I was in Manchester, KY a couple weekends ago and used up ~8GB of data while there. It was great

What's it called?

So I caved in and bought a Google Pixel even though my Nexus 5X is still totally 100% in great condition. The Pixel is 3xCA correct ? I was still playing around and aside from seeing if I am connected to Band 25,26, or 41, I cannot tell if it is 2x CA, or 3x CA

I got that but, does that mean B41 is on a vzw tower? Weird seeing that in a metro area. It's also a Samsung Market where GCI are usually 09B.

I see he is reporting earfcn changes so it can be added to signal check. While this is awesome, you can also use the send diagnostic link in signal checks menu so your not cluttering or, as like me personally, getting people excited as there might be a signal check update. Your intentions are great, really, but the same can be done in the app and it gets to Mikejeep quicker. Glad to see more 10x10 popping up though.

Done. Merry Christmas

Ment to post this a few weeks ago now but durring the webn fireworks newport side i was able to pull 35mbps on the river infront of the aquarium that shows what great strides sprint has made

Believe I was pulling mid 70s from it

Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Yes speeds are great on that site also

Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

No I had donated a couple years back, but have not been able to do much lately. This site is the sole reason I stuck with Sprint because it was baaaaaad for a while. I am glad I stayed nothing is perfect but it is hard to complain about downloads topping out @ 150 mbps on my Note 7!
