Hey, im still having problems getting into my phones debug menu. I type in the information on my stock dialer, but nothing happens.

I am on AOKP build 3 which is jelly bean, is that an issues?

also my phone stats i am in lte 13 area, but when I connect I can not get a data signal, it says im disconnected from internet. A week ago i was getting 4g all the time.

hope i can get some help.

Unfortunately, the full bars you saw was the 1x signal, not LTE. Your phone never displays LTE strength in the signal indicator, even when the 4G icon is shown.

 

So if you are near a tower and connected to 1x and it shows full strength, but you are far from the 4G LTE site you are connected to, you may think you have a strong LTE connection, but you really don't.

 

The only way to know for certain your LTE signal strength is to look at the dBm reading in your LTE Engineering screen in the Debug menu of your phone dialer.

That exit is only a half mile , even less, away from the tower i was connected to. Its a 20 minute walk to the exit, and a 30 second drive. Trust me i live right near that tower, not going to say how close, but lets say i can see the tower in my back yard.

And regardless the strength i had, it was still very fast.

How do i get to the Debug lte menu? Whats numbers do i need to type?

I have jelly bean CM10 build for my htc evo 4g lte

Did the signal last for a long distance?

no unfortunately, it went as far as the mass pike Allston Brighton exit. But the strength was full bars, i didn't check the dBm but i bet it was a good signal strength.

4g in Allston/Brighton. I'm guessing the tower i found is by 95 Everett street location. I forgot to take a screen shot/forgot how to on jelly bean builds. Did 2 speed tests, 24 and 12 download and 6 and 6 upload.

speeds are pretty good at home, much better than a few months ago

ill check when i get home to see if 3g speeds are better at home, i have a tower right next to my apartment.

I have eHRPD:13 in South Boston, by Andrew station.

Signal strength is 93 dBm which is actually really good since i started to work in the area in February.
