    I was actually referring to Rukin. He said he is 21 years old. When I was 21 I didn't have much to worry about. It is true that experiences will vary on the individual. I had significant help from my parents. Started my career at age 23, been on my own since. (I'm 26)

    I am not surprised but another leak that lists the countries that will receive the Exynos 5 model and the Snapdragon 800 model.  At no surprise, the USA is scheduled to get the Snapdragon 800 model (SM-N9005) which I am thrilled about.  I trust Qualcomm with their LTE radios and not to mention their CDMA 1xA radios.

     

    Sweet I also hit my L337 post!!!!

    I have been working on some logging and mapping features, but they are still in the early stages of development and nothing works yet.  Those are probably the next two new features that will be added, but I can't say when they will be ready.  I agree, it would be cool.. :)

    It would make the app unique and awesome. I'm glad you're developing it :). netmonitor is no longer updated. So any problems it has, well you know lol. Just keep up the great work :)

    Do signal "bars" take Ec/Io into account?

    in General Topics

    It looks like they do, on my device at least. Currently running a CM10.2 (Android 4.3) ROM on my Galaxy Note II. My 1X signal is -103, and my EV-DO signal is -104 (both right on the normal edge of usefulness, from my experience), but the "bars" show it wavering between two and three bars. And, it seems they're right; my Ec/Io for each is -3.0 dB and -2.5 dB respectively (just saw EV-DO jump up to -1.5 dB), which I understand means there's almost no interference at all between my device and the site, and I'm probably the only user on the entire sector.

     

    That being said, EV-DO actually works very well at a signal of ~-103 dBm, with an Ec/Io of about -3 dB. I just did a speedtest and got this:

    And yes, this is an NV 3G cell.

    Ya I was on evdo and got 1.65MB down in my place and I hardly get any service.. lol I've never gotten such speeds inside... ever But I was on CDMA only

    Those MANY people are downloading TOO MANY illegal movies, lol!

     

     

    See my first comment. Illegal movies, and bandwidth hogs for downloading such large files all the time. Streaming seems to be the way to go anymore.

    eh I stream netflix and I torrent movies :) not through sprint, but my internet provider :). I don't really use 4G much except emails, apps that use data, the play store, and some other things. But I hardly watch anything on youtube or HBO/netflix unless I'm not at home or on a trip of some type.

    Yes.. I have......?  I liked the mapping feature until something broke and it was claiming I was connected to sites in places I've never heard of on the other side of the planet.

    Lol. The names need adjusted sometimes. mine said some weird ass names but showed i was connected to the proper tower. I know the NV, it shows the proper tower location and it shows which one you're connected to and which towers you've connected to. I think it'd be cool to see you add a version of your own into a tab in the app :) Maybe an exclusive for people with the pro app :)

    Here's a picture, I don't remember the lighter color antenna(s) being on the bottom rack yesterday but they may have been.  If that's the case then I suppose the top rack may not even be Sprint so this would make more sense.

    What market is that? So many wires!!

    A sprint only site.

    The bottom/top rack have antennas removed/added since this picture. I took new ones, but it was too dark.

    Okay I have a confusing situation and I didn't want to open a new topic for it so I'm hoping someone sees this and can't help me out. My phone all day has been roaming in my house and refuses to connect with my airave. I've tried resetting my phone, resetting my airave, etc. The most peculiar part though is when I'm outside my house my phone reconnects to sprint with a fair signal, about -91dbm. However, in the past my phone tends to roam outside my house, and if it wasn't roaming it was a weak signal ~-108dbm. Can anyone explain why this would be happening? Do airaves tend to "go down" sometimes? It's not a huge deal I suppose but I try to keep my roaming usage as low as possible, out of respect. Edit: I added a picture for reference. I don't know if it helps or not but clearly my internet is working so that can't be the issue. I'm at a loss.

    I had 2 un plug my airave. It caused the same problems.

    You do make a good point. I never fill up more than 18 Gigs, I always stream everything. I don't have music on my phone anymore thanks to Play Music, and all the videos I watch are on YouTube. Other than that, I honestly watch movies and shows on my TV.

    I know. a year from now 16GB is going to nothing. 32Gb is going to be hardly enough. Apps are always getting bigger in size

    Got it, I understand now.. a GSM-specific icon never crossed my mind, but it would be a useful addition to the app.  Nobody had asked for it until now.  I want to include support for GSM devices, but as a CDMA user, I don't always think of GSM when I am adding new features.  I need people like you to poke me and ask for stuff!  Hard to come by on a Sprint forum, obviously.  The XDA thread had a lot of GSM feedback in the beginning, but once the app stopped crashing, everyone over there left me alone! (hint, hint S4GRU people ;))

     

     

    The status bar icon bars display the level of whatever technology is indicated on the icon.  So if it says "4G", the bars represent the LTE signal strength.  On a GSM device, any other connection type will be the GSM signal strength.  The scale for LTE is measured in RSRP, and is not the same as the scale for any other connections, which are measured in RSSI.  So a -101 dBm LTE connection is a stronger signal than a -101 dBm UMTS connection.  -101 RSRP is programmed to be 5 bars in the app, so it's showing correctly.  Your device probably uses the same scale for all connection types.  -101 RSSI would only be 3 bars in my app.

     

     

    Like I said above, GSM users end up getting less attention because 1) I hear from them less and 2) I don't use GSM, so I don't see it with my own eyes or think about it on a regular basis.  I appreciate your detailed reply and please feel free to provide input anytime!

    Have you ever used netmonitor?
