* Battery consumption rise (looks for GPS signals and checks network quality)
* Battery consumption will increase while looking for GPS signals and checking network quality.
* Screen won't turn off while application is running (More battery consumption!). If you have a phone with an AMOLED screen, you can turn it off for the duration of the measuring from the applications settings.
* The screen may not turn off while the application is running (this consumes more battery). If you have a phone with an AMOLED screen, you can turn this feature off for the duration of the measuring from within the CellMapper app settings.
* Base station location in urban areas is best determined by doing round trips of city blocks. In more rural locations you should do larger sweeps to save time. You will get the best result on flat ground.
* Base station locations within urban areas are best determined by going in round trips of city blocks. In more rural locations, you should do larger sweeps to save time. You will get the best results while measuring on flat ground.
* Ensure that you have a sufficiently good connection to the base station as well as a GPS connection.
* You have a sufficiently good connection to the base station as well as a GPS connection.
* Using the application requires that you have a subscription with the operator whose 2G/3G/4G network you are trying to measure. You can only measure stations in the network you are actively connected to, so for instance, you can't locate a 4G base station if you are on a 3G network. Usually 2G/3G/4G/4G+ cells can all be in the same base station, and even be sent from the same panel antenna.
* Using the application requires that you have an active plan with the operator whose 2G/3G/4G network that you are attempting to measure. You can only measure stations on the network that you are actively connected to. Therefore, you will not be able to measure a 4G base station if you are currently connected to a 3G network. Usually 2G/3G/4G/4G+ cells can all be in the same base station, and even be sent from the same panel antenna.
* The application can show that a base station can cover areas up to a hundred kilometers. These errors can be created if the network data collected by the application has great resemblance with some other base station or if the phone has calculated incorrect GPS-data. At this moment these "orphan cells" can't be removed by the user and they are left on the map.
* The application may indicate that a base station is covering an area several kilometers or miles beyond what is typical. This type of error can occur if the network data collected by the application is similar to data found on another base station or if the phone has calculated incorrect GPS data. At the moment, these "orphan cells" cannot be removed by the user and are left on the map.
