    Yeah SignalCheck has a side effect, it turns normal people into wireless nerds, that coupled with S4GRU and your on a straight path to wireless signal and site hunting addiction, you've been forewarned! Become a sponsor or premier sponsor and this site becomes a HUGE wealth of information not to mention a kick-ass community. Happy hunting and welcome to S4GRU!

    How do these images get so large anyway? Most images I see on here are a respectable size, but after looking at those images I thought I was looking at a billboard.

    eHRPD as stated runs on the 1900MHz PCS band, eHRPD is just a software overlay of 3G EV-DO to allow smooth transitions from 3G to LTE or vise versa. If you are receiving an estimated -96dB on either 1x RTT or EV-DO/eHRPD then you will be very very close to the edge of 1900 B25 LTE roughly -105 to -115dB, the newer the technology the more fragile the signal becomes. Anyone could take a stab at what your signal could be but it would be a guesstimate. Band 26 800 LTE would be the better experience for you once its deployed at the site you have described due to trees, hills, and obstructions that are between you and the site.

    Seeing the PCI twice (the one your connected to and the neighbor cell) is normal. An example: Say your on Sprint's 1900 LTE band with a PCI of 100 and you see the same PCI (100) under "neighbor cells" with the signal strength this is PCI 100 on Sprint's B26 800 LTE. In my market I will see the same PCI for 1900 and 800 LTE so this is normal, I don't know if this is the same with Sprint B41.

    Yes according to SignalCheck your picking up Sprint's Band 26 which is the 800 band. SignalCheck provides a wealth of information on signal strength, which band your currently connected to, provides alerts when connected to Sprint's 800 voice service, etc. the list goes on and on. GCI = Global Cell Identity, specific ID which can uniquely identify a cell in the whole world. PCI = Physical Serving Cell, this provides which sector your currently connected to on a site when on LTE. TAC = Tracking Area Code, identifies a tracking area within a particular network.

    Has anyone else noticed a PLMN change in there market? As of last Friday my PLMN went from 310120 to 312530 while on B25 and B26 LTE. The pictures below are from the same site that just had LTE 800 flipped on sometime last week. This new PLMN is showing up on every site I connect too whether I am on B25 or B26. Before After

    I picked up an LG Volt though a independent Sprint store on Black Friday, activated it walked out and I get the same experience you have...LG must have high standards. I stay at 1 to 2 bars if I hover within -102 to -107dBm while on B25. When it connects to B26 the bars jump once it gets sub -99dBm.

    That's what I am doing in my area, mapping HSPA+ and once I finish up I'll switch over to LTE. Finding AT&T sites can be somewhat of an annoyance tracking them down since I don't have a map of where they are located.
  14. JossMan
    This could be due to Samsung blocking certain information from being displayed to SignalCheck, if so then this is completely out of Mike's hands. When I had my S3 it wasn't until the 4.4 update that I could see TAC and GCI info on SCP.
  15. JossMan
    That would be great. AT&T seems to use patterns of 8 here when it comes to the PSC, i.e. 32, 40, 48

    when your told "are you sure you don't work for Ericsson," when you stop and talk to a contractor at a Sprint site.

    Before 2001 we had two incumbent ISP providers here in Bristol, VA, Charter Communications and Embarq which is now called CenturyLink. Both companies offered sub-par service at a high premium at the time; city residents were fed up with price hikes from both companies creating stale competition. It was time for a new competitor to come to the plate in the form of BVU OptiNet. During the late 90s BVU was busy stringing up fiber to create there own network that would be used between local city government buildings, city schools, and telemetry for BVU owned electric substations. Between 1999 and 2001 BVU actively pursued other ways to utilize this infrastructure to benefit the community. In early 2001, broadband and PCX telephone applications were introduced to local schools and government offices. As local businesses learned of BVU’s broadband capabilities, they began expressing interest, surveys confirmed that there was significant public interest, by local consumers, in BVU providing competitive telecom and information. In order for BVU to offer telecommunication and information services, it would take over 2 years working with lobbyist to change Virginia’s laws and to complete necessary regulatory compliance to obtain state approvals. In addition, just weeks prior to OptiNet’s planned launch, the incumbent CATV provider (Charter Communications) filed an injunction against BVU’s deployment of cable television services. In the end BVU succeeded against the injunction and was able to launch their FTTH services toward the end of 2003. Here recently a poll was conducted and BVU has a 90% penetration rate in the City of Bristol, VA against Charter Communications. BVU was the first municipality in the United States to offer the full triple-play of services (telephone, cable and Internet) over a fiber-to-the-home network; therefore, many entities, both public and private, and from the U.S. and abroad, have sought knowledge and direction from the seasoned professionals at BVU.

    Concerning SignalCheck Pro 4.26b, everything is good on the GSM side of things. Right now I'm riding on HSPA+ I'll switch over to LTE later today on my Moto X and test it as well. One thing Mike concerning grammar; do you think you could change "neighbor cells" to "neighboring cells?"
  24. JossMan
    Can't wait Be in Mike's beta crew
  25. JossMan
    SignalCheck Change Log Alpha testing now: Added display of primary scrambling code (PSC) for GSM sites.Added option to display LTE and GSM neighbor cells. (Pro)Mike do you think I could test out the alpha build that includes these features? My Moto G, Moto X, and N5 would be very happy!
