About this app

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.

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.

Ratings and reviews

Great app that gives you all the information about the tower you're connected to plus shows all of the neighboring towers that your phone is picking up on along with their signal strength. Lots of apps like it, but this app is laid out particularly nice and clean. I ended up buying the Pro version awhile back. This app will even show Stingrays if you know what they are and what to lookfor.. at least on AT&T. Worth every penny.

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

**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.
