LTE Discovery is a powerful signal discovery and analysis tool with many advanced features and customizations available.Key features:
- Identifies LTE band for Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and several other countries (support for more carriers added with the crowdsource feature and user aid)
- Identifies 5G (for supported new devices)
- Identifies EARFCN and Band for any country/provider when using a Qualcomm processor and ROOTED
- Live band identifier and signal data in the notification bar
- Refresh cell radio (reset data connection) to connect to best signal available* (Note: Google added restrictions in Lollipop and above, so it may require root or be unavailable)
- Automatic refreshing of mobile radio for different conditions
- Alert notification for LTE bands and GCIs (connected and disconnected)
- Save LTE logs
- Automated visual logger (Sprint + Pro only)
- EARFCN band calculator (range and precise UL and DL frequencies) (Pro)
- Wide range of settings to customize your experience (Pro)
- Advanced LTE, 5G, 4G, 3G, GSM, CDMA data (GCI, PCI, TAC, RSRP, RSRQ, band, EARFCN, frequency)
Disclaimer:
- This is an advanced app with some features specific to only some devices/carriers. Many thanks to the community for the support and the questions and feedback.
- "Best signal available" doesn't mean this app can make LTE or 5G appear where there is none. There is no such thing as an "LTE signal booster" app, what actually happens is forcing the device to search again for the best signal rather than staying connected to an older, possible stale connection.
- Not all devices/carriers are supported for LTE bands and other advanced signal data. These are limitations of those devices.
- At this time, the in-app map is only used for showing current location. Though, Sprint+Pro users may have more feature. Support for more carriers is currently in active development.
- From user reports, Verizon sometimes provides tower location, but they are typically inaccurate.
If you work in the industry, feel free to email us if you have any knowledge that may be able to help us. (Our email can be found in-app)
By resetting the mobile connection, you can fix many common network related issues like: continuous low signal, data disconnection, poor call quality, signal instability, and more. You could also fix these issues by restart/reboot your phone, or you could just let LTE Discovery reset your radios in a few seconds. But, better signal quality is not a guarantee, especially if you are in a carrier zone with little coverage.

Nice premise. Very interesting. I've discovered more about what it does over time. It's a little hard to be sure I understand what I'm seeing and can do. Biggest annoyance? Using the log viewer. I can't understand how the list is sorted and I don't know how to resort it. When I reached 1000 records months ago, no newer data shows up. No clear way reset it. No way to know what data is really being collected and uploaded. No way I'm going to purchase top option just to see how it works

The app used to be useful. I used the map to see which tower I was connected to. I was pointing antennas and found that made the job easier. Now, the map shows me where I am (believe it or not, I already knew where I was) but it just says 'Disabled (beta, early preview.)' I can't find anything in settings that says how to turn it back on, but the app is no longer of any use to me at all. If you know where you are and signal strength (your phone tells you that), having the app is pointless.

**If you think it's not working, make sure it has location permission. It WILL work after that.** AMAZING app for knowing exactly what band you're on. Used this to install and troubleshoot our new signal booster, plus determine the issue if devices & LTE modem are slow. I was able to see they were connecting to a "faster" band which had extremely poor quality strength and signal. Highly recommend for troubleshooting speeds, using a signal booster and those relying on cellular data for internet.

Great app, love the interface. However, I think the readout of 5g NR bands could use some work. When I have 5g, which should be n78, sometimes it will display a different frequency, like n77 or n48. While these frequencies technically could be correct, they use different ranges. It would be nice if this could be more accurate. In case it is relavent, this was on a pixel 6 pro. Otherwise, this is a pretty good app.

Great app. Very useful for finding/verifying which frequency band your phone is using/receiving. Also it shows you the direction and approximate distance to your connected tower. However, it only shows which band my phone is using about half the time. Which is the only reason I need this app. Soooooo.....half of the time (maybe a smidgen less) it would receive a 5☆+++ rating. The other half of the time it would receive a 0☆ rating.

Awesome app! Detects Band 12 as well which my area just got. Update: Hey Simply Advanced............can you PLEASE add an option to detect Band 71 too? My area just got it, but your app doesn't have it listed. It would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've found other apps that can detect it, but I'd prefer to use yours. But if you don't then I can't anymore which would suck. Thanks!

I've had this app (pro) since it came out. Working great on my OnePlus 6t A10 -Corvus rom. Recently had ALOT of issues with Metro by Tmo. Since TMo got their hands on Metro it's been problem after problem! No data/LTE, slower LTE, and throttle me to hell compared to the 5-6 years I used Metro PCS before Tmo owned them. Tks for being one of few devs who continues to support your work. Highly recommend this app! Imo it's the best one available!! 👍

Great App!. First, I like the fact that you can have your phone's signal rate, strength, and Cell location etc., with the app's overlay ability on the top of your phone's screen at any transparency of your choosing. Second, I like all the many signal metering choices, or options you can apply, or choose to monitor at any given time rate. *Tip; Besides just clicking on and off, you must know that behind those choices there are many, many more options to choose from i.e., you must click on the option's link in order to get behind and open up these many more options. To the developer (s), fantastic job! Please keep up the good work, and develop others.
