Open World roams on T-Mobile LTE in Germany. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

This app force close immediately on the Kyocera Hydro Icon. Running Android 4.4.2 with FreedomPop. I suspect FreedomPop may be the problem. It shows Provider as 310120 but as Chameleon rather than Sprint. Sensorly doesn't work on it either, but Cell Mapper and SCP work fine. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

No frequency on my Kyocera Hydro Icon with root earfcn (that doesn't seem to be working currently for some reason...). My Pixel with native earfcns works fine. It could be buggy handling of when it expects an earfcn but doesn't get one? I can confirm once I rebooted and was able to get the root earfcn method to work, the frequency appeared.

Does anyone know if Option 2 would carry over between countries? For example, if I'm going between several countries over the course of a week, will a single weekly pass work? Or do you need a separate pass for each country? So far I've been keeping the grandfathered Open World because I suspect they won't honor the pass between countries.

I believe it's already there. There should be strongest coordinates and last seen coordinates. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I'm guessing Unix epoch would be most appropriate? System.currentTimeMillis() https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/System.html#currentTimeMillis() Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

It may only prompt on some devices that it deems new enough? I use it for band locking just fine on my Kyocera Hydro Icon (logging device). Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I browsed the source of GitHub and it looks like he retrieves the earfcn value for neighbors. But maybe doesn't store or use it? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Yeah, I believe it's broken on all their devices. I wouldn't expect a potential fix until O, but you never know... There have been a few Reddit threads about it, and I think the CellMapper developer posted about it in his Google+ channel when Samsung released N. I can't seem to find it now though. http://wilysis.com/networkcellinfo/10-android-issues mentions some specific Samsung devices with it and confirms the band 1 thing. Apparently the usual earfcn returned by Samsung is 0 rather than INT_MAX according to that site and several Reddit threads. But that doesn't really explain the non-zero band 1 earfcns we're seeing.

Comnet was the worst! It was 1x only that barely worked when I traveled through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming​ last year. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I wonder what function is returning them. To my knowledge the API function simply isn't there in Samsung, so it should return nothing. If it is the getearfcn method, is it possible to wrap the earfcn part with a check to see if it's a Samsung device running API 24, similar to how you check if it's running a new enough API? I'd probably error on the side of blacklisting certain API levels rather than all Samsung in case they add it in the future, but whatever is easier. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Regarding Samsung, they specifically removed the earfcn API from their builds of 7.0. No clue why, but it's just not there and consequently no apps work with it. I actually forgot what a large segment​ of users that leaves out... Stupid Samsung. Maybe they'll see the light with 8.0? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

As a side effect of targeting the new API level, it looks like the database is automatically backed up and restored when you switch devices! The backup is the right size anyway for the national db. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Yes!!! Native earfcns! This will make logging and IDing things so much better! 1000 thanks! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

It can be done in markets without neighboring B41 deployments (ie within 100 miles or so, similar to to the ibez). Anything nearby has to be done together to avoid interference​. So at the very least it'll be market by market, but more likely region by region. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Just installed it! It doesn't look like you added native earfcn retrieval on Android 6.0+? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

It's between $100-$150. At least they charge a fee in that price range if you fail to return one or damage it. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Were the iPhones also on Open World? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I've used Sprint roaming in South Africa and Peru and each time my data was tunneled back to a Sprint server in Kansas, so everything thought I was in the US. Sprint does this to throttle and/or count your data usage. I'm​ almost certain Google services will work. The GFW shouldn't be able to see your traffic. Have a backup plan (ie VPN) just in case though. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

And this was with grandfathered Open World? Or global roaming? Or their new international roaming thing? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Not to my knowledge. I tested when the May security update came out. It must have been profile update pushed recently. I got one or 2 within the past week or so. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Some of the icons changed on the most recent software update. But otherwise, yeah, Tim's article sums it up. There's not much to the UI, it's pretty basic. 3 icons you can tap (GPS, relay, and LTE broadcast status) and an overflow menu with an about screen, reboot, and reset.

Yeah just say you need a SIM for a Pixel XL. If you're fine waiting a couple days it's free. Otherwise you can pay for expedited shipping I believe. Or go into a Sprint store and ask for one. They might charge like $5-$10 though. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
