Anyone know of an app that tracks cell signal strength? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Looking for an app that creates a graph of network signal strength along my commute. That way I can compare networks using separate sim cards. Thanks!

Yes!!! I want one of those too when some smarty figures out how to build it. I dont even need it for a commute, just knowing which carrier has better reception around my shack would be good enough

I believe open signal maps does this

If you found what you are looking for great, but if not search for Android Signal Info on rootz. It doesn't have maps, but it gives detailed signal info useful for analyzing your mobile network

Is this tmobile or what? Im a confused noob lol
Im curious how fast the thing will be on att hspa+...and when we will get it
I get 7 meg on three in the uk when in the city. At home I get about 2-3meg but three are currently in the process of updating their transmitters anyway, I really can't fault them.
As for wifi performance I get 25 meg via my router where as my laptop connected to the same router via wifi gets 35 meg(39 wired).

Was excited I got over 100kb on the "now network" considering I remember when I had my epic4g and would consistently get 2mb down PRE IPHONE invasion. And have since subsequently getting poor network connectivity. Its almost bareable.
Here are screens from same finished speed test and results including tests before "dirty flash " of jb v5

Odd picture. No bars and yet you get performance of a perfect signal.

I hope the 4g isn't set up like it was on the thunderbolt, how it just automatically runs with no toggle switch.

Theres an option for CDMA only (no LTE) however leaving the CDMA/LTE option enabled has no truly noticeable effect on battery

Obviously there is because your phone certainly isn't connecting to wimax.
You can go to s4gru.com and check to see if there are live towers near you... though I think we can assume there are.

In addition to checking out s4gru.com as decke003 stated you can also visit http://www.sensorly.com/ and select Sprint - 4G and see if anyone else has saw LTE.
Texas is the most 4G'ed in the country I believe. I was getting 4G in a middle of nowhere in Texas. (truck driver)

Las vegas lte?

Quick question guys. I am using the people rom and currently in las vegas. I thought lv had 4g. Does it? If so how do I get it to work? Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Go to Settings > Mobile and networks > and make sure your network type is set to CDMA/LTE as opposed to just CDMA
Thanks for the reply. I did that but the 4g isnt sticking. Should it?

LV still only has WiMax. No LTE there yet at least not officially, there may be a few spots active. Use the sensorly app from play store to see if theres any Sprint LTE in the area.

There's your answer, like I was saying in the other thread there may not be any lte in LV.

There is already a thread for LTE where and when. And no Vegas does not have LTE yet. There are maybe only a couple small spots in Vegas that once in awhile get LTE. My brother lives there and has no LTE.

Yes, LTE is here alive and growing everyday, I live in that area and signal is active and strong.

Tmobile has a really great LTE network in the East Coast. The more you go towards Texas or California, the speeds become slower and slower. D:
