New tower broadcasting LTE downtown. LTE Engineering screen is showing one of the serving cell IDs as 33. I get service near the regional justice center.

Possible new tower broadcasting LTE at the spaghetti bowl. Signal check pro dings a second time on my daily commute now and sprints network enhancement map shows a tower near the the 95S to 15S interchange as having 2 data speed enhancements.

This is a picture of the tower, taken on Sunday. Not exactly sure what I am looking for to ensure that it has network vision upgrades, or even Sprint equipment on it, I couldn't take a picture of the cabinets as they were behind a wall. It was the only tower I found in the area. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nfutsdc4pzn1gx9/Shell_tower.jpg

I think the actual tower broadcasting the signal (if it is the same one I saw the first time around) might be up at the Shell gas station further up Decatur. This weekend if someone hasn't gotten around to it yet I can swing up there and try and get the Serving Cell numbers.

Sounds like this could have happened. The solid purple up and down Decatur was about what I saw on Sunday, but yesterday when I went to map it the same singal wasn't there, likewise the solid signal I had up and down Grand Teton before wasn't there. I will uninstall Sensorly from the Nexus, is it just poor radio performance? I know the CDMA Nexus has 'Franken Radios' not optimally paired with Sprints' network, but I wouldn't assume that it would improperly map solid purple where little to no signal exists because of that.

No, just for managing coordinates of where the screencap occurred. I just kicked over to maps and grabbed a screenshot after it narrowed in on my location. After grabbing the 3 around the 215 and Jones tower I went north on an LTE signal hunt, and lo and behold, 106! I lost it shortly after I grabbed the screenshot, makes me wonder if they are working on new towers because the solid signal I had coming down Decatur yesterday was quite a bit different today. After snagging the 106 screencap, I swear I saw something like 407 pop up, but I was unable to get another capture before I lost the signal. But I kept driving around the area with sensorly mapping the trip, we will see what the maps show. https://www.dropbox....tutg/dUDZ0XdIGt EDIT: Wow, sensorly is already showing where I drove. Let me know if I can be of any more help.

I will see if I can get back up there tonight. Any suggestions for managing screenshots of the LTE Engineering screens and location? Maybe I will just use google maps and work off of screen cap order and time stamp. I will use sensorly to 'map trip' and see what that turns up.

Looks like the data is now showing up for the Grand Teton Dr area on Sensorly. I picked up the signal originally driving south on Decatur before Grand Teton (full bars). The signal can be picked up all the way up and down Grand Teton between Jones and Decatur. I lost this signal before driving down to Jones and the 215. Is this a different cell tower broadcasting LTE, or can the tower off Jones and the 215 broadcast that far?

Here are two of the LTE Engineering screencaps from this morning, I hid the IMSI incase it was information that could be used to identify my handset. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y2msrjp6zr9q04m/Hx9ljZs5Cs

Yeah, but for some reason they only ask me to participate in corporate challenge events involving firearms.

Grabbed some screen captures using the LTE Engineering screen, I think I saw two different signals, one further up on both Decatur and Jones around Grand Teton drive, the other of course by Jones/215. Is there anything I need to redact off of these images that would be personal information related to my phone? I also turned on sensorly in passive mode, but I don't see any 4G mapped up by Grand Teton.

Never used it before, but I will grab that info when I am coming back from a corporate challenge event up way north on Decatur tomorrow.

https://www.dropbox....jois/4jt80EbncX I don't use SpeedTest because of the built-in ad software.

I drove up there last night an tested the LTE goodness myself. I tried from Azure drive and a road north of the 215 by a golf course. I tested each location with Root Metrics and Sensorly. Couple weird issues I noticed. Sensorly's speed test app constantly showed a 5000+ ms response time for pings, and a couple of my Root Metrics tests failed on the download. Don't know what to make of either observation, just putting it out there. I took screenshots, but seem to have issues embedding them into this message. I don't post of forums usually, so please forgive my incompetence.

I would guess that Sprint has been upgrading backhaul. Specifically in downtown I have noticed a definitive change in service. In building penetration is of course still low, but using the Root Metrics app for speed tests from my office I have consistently seen 1.0mbps down/up this last week on 3G. Two weeks ago I generally saw about 200kbps down and 0.8mbps up. By the way, I am using a Galaxy Nexus.
