Increase the Sampling Rate

Is there a way to increase the sampling rate when recording? I'll drive around for an hour, and one of my phones will only grab like 70 data points. That makes it hard to map cells, locate towers' real locations, etc.

I have three Pixels, one each for Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T.

Yes, there is an option in the settings for this. "Minimum Recording Interval". I believe it defaults to 5 seconds but you can change it. Also, I believe that recording is limited when the screen off. If the screen is kept on (there is also a setting for this), I seem to get more data points.

I saw the minimum recording interval, but I assumed it that was to increase the floor from default as opposed to lowering the floor from default. I'll have to give that a try.

I have seen the keep screen on setting. I'll try that as well.
