All Evo 4G users should install 4G MapViewer

This app is just like Google Maps but instead of traffic shows you 4G on a very detailed scale. It's based off reports from other people running the app and helped me find a location 4 blocks away that had reported 4G. I walked over and got 2Mbps down on the SpeedTest.net app.
I live in NYC and 4G is not official here yet so this was a great surprise.
Look for "4G MapViewer" on the Market and grab it! You might find a location nearby and it will help everyone else!

It's made by Sensorly.com, but 4G Map Viewer should make it show up.

Yeah but still a cool app, I would not have known where to look for 4G without it. There are too much scattered reports all over the forums and this puts it all in one place on a map. I think it's great!

I installed it just now and it looks really helpful

Interesting app. Saw it on the Epic forums.

Was in turlock/modesto ca this weekend and I swear the whole city is 4g. I tried to map it but keep getting some error. +1 on being a cool app though
Sent from my Evo

been able to do this with sensorly for awhile but i'm glad they put out a 4g only one as well
-edit- i see that it's just the same program

Thanks for this little useful App, pulling it from the market as I type..

My signal was updated on the map within 5 min.

Cool app. I live in southern Utah with no 3g or EVDO right now and for some reason The app shows all of my area as having 3g and It shows a area where I know there is 3g as having only 1x. Kinda weird, wish it was more accurate.

Watch the bars at the top of the app (below the title bar), what do they show? The program only reports what the phone tells it is available. But there is also a "report map error" button under the Menu if the program's bars aren't matching up with your phone's.

Didn't seem to work on my Evo, map looked all messed up.

I like this. So the blue represents where people have traveled with this app enables?

According to the Get Clear app, my 4G coverage is the exact same as what sprint.com says.
Now if I only lived one house over...I'd actually get service! Damn house location...

just installed, seems to be working good so far on my phone.
If you zoom in far enough in an area not mapped well you can see dots everywhere someone tried out the app, it may not be a bad idea to drive around the block some with this on so your house doesnt stand out

Im restoring to my Sense rom now and going to see if there's any 4G where i stay at. Would suck to have a 4G phone and can't use 4G to either Nov Or Dec or better yet next year.

T-Mobile Network Issues

Hey, anyone else have network issues with the N1 today? Seems like none of my calls or texts are going through, but I have signal and everything. I went outside to use 3g, worked for a little and then stopped.. So I did a airplane off/on and now the data wont connect. Went back inside it connected again but text and calls wouldnt work.
Anyone else having any issues?

You need to provide more info like your general location. It might be a local issue or trouble with your phone.
I was on my phone all day in calls and data with no problems. I'm in the Chicago area.

Hi.. I have troubles with T-Mobile on 3G... but supposedly there is an issue with my mast in NR1.. I agree...where are you?

Have you tried turning the phone off then back on? I run into this problem every once in a while. So have others:

In Orlando, Fl ever since Hsdpa rolled out here If been getting little to no 3g here, spoke to a tmob rep and he saying something about no longer connecting to at&t's frequencies so data loss is possible, idk but it needs to get resolved its been a couple of weeks.

i had the same problem yesterday. It only happened to me at home when i left running around town i was able to connect for data. Also it was raining here so maybe that contributed to it

tell me about it man, I was in Orlando this weekend and 3G connection su*ks, since I was using my phone as GPS it was very frustrating. I started messing around with build.prop like crazy but nothing worked.

Happens to me all the time. Especially around evening times. 3-6pm. This is in seattle btw.

I've only had issues in my house, but that's because my house is a service-killer. No bars anywhere downstairs, but almost full 3G bars in my room. lol
Have you tried the new 5.XX series radios yet? I'm running 5.08 and notice little to no data loss or other data issues. There are moments of weirdness, but a quick disable/enable of mobile data does the trick in the most severe of situations.
Gonna upgrade to 5.12 now and see what's different (apparently touchscreen ****ty-ness is fixed). Worth a shot. Use fastboot though, never flash a radio in recovery, leaves too much up to chance.

I feel ya.. I was in universal last night and I had 4-5 bars of 3g and no internet, or at least really slooooow internet when it did work. T mobile needs to ramp up Orlando's and others servers/towers. When too many people use the internet at the same time it kills the towers bandwidth. While at Universal's Horror nights I figure everyone in the 45min-2Hr lines for the houses are using it. So that is bad. But once I left Orlando it worked fine.
Had Froyo Radio... Flashed new 5.12 today one and seems better. At least Agps is working much better.

Glad to know it's not just me. I had been searching on the Internet for people with the same issues and decided to come here. I'm in stl and my data connection will either work or not. Ive tried turning off the phone and then back on, airplane, etc.
Right now it works but it's nowhere near the 4 megs i was pulling last night, its hovering around 500 Kbps when it decides to work. Im sure tmobile is just upgrading some stuff.

Looks like its just Orlando where problem exists.

Canadian Nexus S Owners OTA

As a fellow Canadian nexus s owner I have been manually updating my nexus s via the downloadable zip files here and there.
But I'm curious has anyone ever received a over the air update instead of manually downloading a zip file from forums like xda?

How are you guys liking the phone so far? I'm assuming you're on Wind or Mobilicity. Are the data speeds good?

Im on Wind and the service is terrible at times.

i've got no complains

as other people are having it in other countries as well, so i doubt it's Wind's fault

For rthe past 3 weeks I've been using mobi and wind, wind has been a massive fail, calls go to VM with full signal, texts come repeated sometimes 3 of the same text, and data is an absolute joke for anything but browsing, hockey buzzer sounds before outgoing calls, half duplex call audio. And its been getting worse not better. They appear either in denial of the problems or unable to correct them. Mobilicity has been saving grace for me, flawless service everywhere I need it, even have service in my underground parking. No comparison at all Mobilicity > Wind.
I should add, I'm in Toronto

As for the service - I'm with WIND and have the usual probs..I live in the basement and get exremely poor reception even thou I'm in a WIND home zone with a tower right around the corner!! I also get that buzzer sound on outgoing calls - Was thinking of trying Mobi, but now not so sure if WIND gets LTE

If Wind is even allowed to operate after the their licence is now in jeopardy.

App to see 4G signal strength & tower id

Hi EPIC-lovers,
I've reversed-engineered some private APIs on the EPIC 4G to get access to the 4G technical information.
So if you want to know what your signal strength is and what tower your are connected to, check out our app "Sensorly", it's in the market. You can allow the app to upload coverage information and help build real coverage maps of all the carriers in the US... and yes, we have a wimax map.
I would have loved to add a screenshot here, but I haven't posted enough in this forum (you can get one at : wwwDOTsensorlyDOTcom/static/wimax.png)
We display
Network Access Provider Id
Network Service Provider Id
BSSID
CINR
RSSI
We're always looking for more users
PS: I've tried hard to get to the same information on the EVO and haven't come up with a solution yet ! Will post in that forum if I do.

Very cool - any plans on publishing source for the app?
Here's that screenshot:

EDIT: This could be very useful to users of the Indulge on MetroPCS, with LTE... feel free to PM me if you'd like some inroads there.
EDIT2: You can allow the app to upload information. Folks, this dev gets it right - and if Sprint had the same intentions with Carrier IQ, they'd have done the same thing.

And other good news...the new version now works with the Epic to report EVDO areas. YAY! Kudos to the developer for letting me bug him for while on this
Only thing the Epic sometimes goes to zero signal for a bit even though you are in a good signal area. But that's the radios fault for reporting that.

Pretty cool. It is like Waze for cell coverage. What is the turn around time from sending data to seeing the coverage map updated?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I think when I checked it was a couple of hours. Just make sure you have it set to send up while on cell.

Not a bad turn around time at all.

Sent from my MyFrankenstein EC05OCE using XDAPA...

Just gave it a thorough try driving home from work on 4G with GPS running.. Thing collected and sent over 1400 messages in 12 miles. That's some good data collection and also good way to warm up the phone.. 40 degree battery when I got home.
Only bug I've found so far is I choose to send over wifi only and it still sent messages anyway while I was on 4G.. Other than that.. Ran smoothly

Cool, thanks!
They just installed a 4G tower less than a mile from my house so I've been sensorly-driving and updating, it appears I'm the only one though (my reports showed up about an hour later, no one else has added any). I'm hoping they up the power on the site; I can only connect in a few wide open areas, though sensorly is picking up the wimax data for several miles.

Good stuff, works great

Not sure if this thing actually works right. I sent a lot of messages from work yesterday while connected to 4G. 24hrs later, at work again, and it is still showing the same exact coverage and that my location is a no 4G forecast.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Some answers
Hi everyone, thanks for giving it a try...
The turn around time is at most within a couple hours. At maximum zoom level, it's probably within the hour and off-peak hours, within a couple minutes...
I don't see any backlog on the server handling that map so if data hasn't appeared, please email me the phone id (it's anonymous : created at install time) through the settings screen and explain the issue.
Thanks

Works good Thanks

awesome, thanks!!!

Amazing application.
No 4G in my area, but I'm glad I can find where it starts to show a signal!

So the big question is...when do we start see signal strength on 4g on the map instead of the just unavailable or available.
Very cool I saw the signal of the 4g and other data with it when I just passed through a 4g area. Excellent work!!!!

HTCSense.com has never worked for me and I got the Desire HD on the first day it was available in the UK. It's very intermittent as best and does not work at worst.
Just because you only have 8 posts, that doesn't make you a n00b. You could well have been a lurker like I was for a few years before I had something to ask.

It's a disgrace really. Many HTC devices were sold with promise of features that required Sense (web) to function.
Initially it didn't quite function, but they stated that the full functionality would come soon.... it never came.
It was a nice idea, and akin to Google's cloud services in some respects, but much easier to use (in theory)... and a great 'tie in' to Sense.
Still, they shafted their users, and (not that anybody will), they would probably lose in court for advertising features that they didn't actually have. Even if the small print AFTER the purchase may try to avoid indemnity, they'd be in trouble.
Not good HTC, not good at all.

Hi!
At some point, way in the past, i could get the phone to ring from the sense dashboard. I´ve never been able to use any of the other functions, just as "remote ring" also ceased to work.
Now -- perhaps i´m not the very best of examples. I chose Danish as language but i live in Greenland. Perhaps the discrepancy of language and +299 international country code is what throws sense off.
Anyway, just reporting. Doesn´t work for me. Never did (mostly).

When i got my phone in Dec 2010, Im sure it worked. a week or so later it stopped working. A few weeks ago, I tried with a hotmail acount rather than a gmail account and it partially works. I can locate the phone , but cannot lock it or make it ring.
gmail doesnt work at all for me.
