hallyn | really all i want is an n900 with updated radios so i don't get 0 bars while standing next to a tower :) | 18:34 |
---|---|---|
hallyn | (though maybe my problem is just firmware? <shrug>) | 18:35 |
sicelo | or just a bad antenna ... | 18:35 |
sicelo | i had 'same' problem with WiFi ... replaced the antenna and everything fixed | 18:36 |
atk | yes | 19:00 |
atk | just replace the tower | 19:00 |
atk | also, isn't right under the tower literally the worst spot? | 19:00 |
atk | don't you have to be at least a few hundred meters away? | 19:00 |
sixwheeledbeast | wrong type of "tower"? | 19:33 |
atk | I am pretty sure hallyn means a radio tower | 19:36 |
atk | or maybe he means a tower block | 19:36 |
atk | hmm, no idea now actually | 19:36 |
sixwheeledbeast | precisely :) | 19:37 |
sixwheeledbeast | "radio" comes in different wavelengths too ;) | 19:37 |
Joerg-Neo900 | BTS | 19:39 |
Joerg-Neo900 | as smart a name as "cellmo" | 19:40 |
Joerg-Neo900 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_transceiver_station | 19:47 |
hallyn | what i mean is - my att blackberry sees 5 bars, my att n900 sees none | 19:49 |
hallyn | whereas in other places it does see them | 19:49 |
hallyn | basically - so that i can't rely on it :( | 19:51 |
Joerg-Neo900 | B900 and blackberry only share a low number of bands while blackberry has quire some more bands that AT&T uses but N900 can't do | 20:11 |
Joerg-Neo900 | s/B9/N9/ | 20:12 |
sixwheeledbeast | Well they have shutdown all there 2G networks for LTE and 5G | 20:12 |
sixwheeledbeast | You on dual? | 20:13 |
hallyn | Joerg-Neo900 : that sounded likely, hence my desire for n900 with new radios... | 20:40 |
Joerg-Neo900 | hallyn: the new modem would also have to support all the bands specific to your provider and region's unique set | 21:44 |
hallyn | is that too much to ask? | 21:45 |
Joerg-Neo900 | well, there are over 50 possible bands iirc. And the best modems support over 30 of them | 21:46 |
sixwheeledbeast | Neo planned to have modem options. | 21:46 |
hallyn | i remember :( | 22:05 |

Joerg-Neo900 | HAH! | 22:45 |
sixwheeledbeast | Thought you'd like that | 22:48 |
Joerg-Neo900 | indeed | 23:06 |
