Still no fix for my Google Pixel 8 Pro running the latest Android 15. The app use to work great but the app will not show any upload speed as it is ALWAYS 0. It's been over a Week and still nothing. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall and still will not show any upload speeds. I've been a long time power user of this app but I think I may need to look elsewhere. 1 Star until fixed.

I believe in open signal and have kept it installed for many years allowing for data collection. But I haven't opened it in a long time. Boy did it get clunky. Does not feel nearly as useful as it used to. And I thought I remember it having a signal strength meter for the cell radio but I couldn't find it at all. I'm kind of disappointed in what this app has become overtime. Although it's maps are still quite useful the app itself is not very data-oriented which is the only reason why I use it
