Your looking at old data. Your not getting a a solid data connection in most of these situations. The bars are not representative of your data connection. You can have four bars and zero data. your LTE is having to switch to slower speed networks when it loses a LTE connection so it can get stuck not finding a network.

We're not talking bars. Bars are for the uninitiated.

And they're also clearly spoofed. Sprint especially. Different operators will show different bar count for the exact same signal strength.

Also, we can see which LTE band (or 3G) we're ACTUALLY on, real time, and whether that's working out well ... Or not at all.

Android. I'm getting an iPhone as a secondary just because luber has distinct features available on each platform it seems.

Hmmmmm. With a clear line of sight to a cell tower I presume? I'll give it a whirl, thanks

Wouldn't know, haven't consciously seen a cell tower in my life.

Also depending on your phone type, you may not be compatible to even get the LTE network you are paying for. So then your on H or worse 3G or the death sentence > Edge network.

I've seen them on the way to Lake Tahoe of all places, but everything is artificially disguised to look like a tree. You can see your signal strength getting stronger as you approach and weaken as you drive away.

If you have any interest in an IPhone 5s, let me know. I have a 4 and 5s sitting here since I got my 6s and will be listing the 5s for sale soon. It works great and had I not had the option of a 2nd free 6s promo recently I would probably still be using it!

Thanks but after using a 5.5" screen, I don't think I could go back to 4" lol, huge difference. I'm sure you wouldn't go back either.

I'm contemplating a small tablet but my iPad 4G was stolen earlier this year in Las Vegas during a trip. Don't know if it's worthwhile to upgrade to such a big screen.

Seems like a hassle if it'll block radio or climate control functions. When I see other drivers with tablets I just assume they have less than ideal vision, it which case it's a great option.
