People have talked about the Spark speeds here and the LG Nexus 5s picking up on them. Is that the same thing as the 800 MHz coverage, or is that a totally different animal? I understand the 800 MHz is supposed to dramatically improve coverage and signal penetration. Also, are all St. Louis-area towers set for Spark/800 MHz? If so, is there any timeline on that?

I've bought many of these guys and loaded DD-WRT on them. They have been very stable, and the range is better than my old Linksys WRT54g routers. Not sure how the range compares with the $100 routers, but for 20 bucks, I think this is a steal.

If I have the three-digit serving cell from my GS3's LTE Engineering screen, can I tell which tower I'm connected to by looking at the map? For instance, I was connected to what has to be the South Belt West/Frank Scott Parkway tower in Belleville. When I was a block away, my LTE Engineering screen showed a serving cell of 424, band of 25, and RSRP of -80. In this case it seems fairly obvious that I was connected to this tower. But in cases where I have a weak LTE signal or I'm not sure where it's coming from, how can I take the info from the LTE Engineering screen and figure out which tower I'm on?
-
Is there any way to find out what tower I'm connected to on an AOSP Galaxy S3? Or a stock/TouchWiz GS3, for that matter?
-
Hmm... maybe I'm not. What is the best way? An app, such as Signal Check?
-
The Swansea site must be live now. I drove through that area and had full bars of 4G. Don't think my AOSP Galaxy S3 will show the SCIDs, though...

Hey, is there any map that shows all of the Sprint towers (both upgraded and not) in a certain area? network.sprint.com seems to show some info, but I'm pretty sure it's not showing every tower location.
-
I had that happen a few years back. Couldn't figure out a rhyme or reason to it, as far as being attributable to any specific tower/phone/number. Was very strange.

Noticing a purple spot at the O'Fallon Family Sports Park just a little east of I-64 and 159. Looks like the center fielder was playing pretty deep.

Mapped some LTE on Route 3 in Waterloo.

Had solid LTE at Horner Park in Lebanon, Illinois today.

Haven't checked any other sites in the area yet. They were hoisting up equipment today at the site. Do you know how long it takes for them to fire things up once they have the equipment in place? Just a matter of days or weeks, maybe?
-
I couldn't see any evidence of recently-disturbed ground, though. Do they run fiber to every single site, I guess?

There's activity on a site off of Mueller Road and Forest Hill School Road outside of Millstadt.

Awesome. And if I average a 3G signal of -95 now, were you saying you would expect that to possibly improve a little bit with the upgrades? Possibly a bump of 1-5 dBm? This is interesting stuff!
