Doubt anyone outside of Colorado would care much. And unless he shows improvement over the entire season in year 2 the Colorado contingent might slide over into the 'could care less' column too.

Gives them some entertaining store videos.

Finally got a rainbow sim after about a year of occassionally trying. N70, n71, and n66 working on byod s24 ultra. Speed around 550Mbps down, 40 up during rush hour: https://imgur.com/a/ENhnSI2

Internet Air arrived at my parents' place last week, and got set up over the weekend. Upload speeds were respectable at ~30 Mbps in some areas. Downloads, less than 100 Mbps. T-Mobile performs a lot better, off of AFAIK the same site (albeit with lower upload speeds). So after some more testing the AT&T box will probably get returned.

https://news.samsung.com/global/one-ui-6-1-brings-galaxy-ai-from-s24-series-to-even-more-galaxy-devices So it will be missing the advanced photo editing. Likely the same for the S21 series. Google may be covering that for phones from Android 8 with 3GB of Ram, although they are reserving some functions just for Pixels.

Google is opening up its AI type editing features to "To use some features, you must have at least 3 GB RAM and Android 8.0 and up." Of course some features are reserved for Pixel phones. Wonder if this will cause Samsung to expand what the s21 can do in terms of AI in future firmware updates? Of course what we are really talking about is the data that they can capture from photos. Access to all your photos is required.

Feel like the performance is snappier with this update. Mine has felt a bit slower a few updates ago.

NextWave is complaining about interference from T-Mobile's network again. It's super annoying considering the area where T-Mobile operates a full 150MHz of BRS/EBS shrank significantly in late 2023. In a place as dense as NYC, have two operators with such split holdings of this band doesn't make sense. Interference seems nearly inevitable. Next Wave has only submitted permits for 22 sites so far, they honestly should just sell. https://www.lightreading.com/5g/redzone-nextwave-also-complain-of-interference-from-t-mobile-s-5g

Worked no problem.

Google Play has been slow at approving releases lately, but I did see it finally got cleared around 9:15 Eastern this morning. Those seem like low duplicate numbers, that is good. Mine were worse but I also intentionally try to force behavior to trigger bad logs for testing purposes. If you run the "Clean up duplicate GCI" entry from the Logs > Clear menu, it will eliminate them.

Neighbor notes have been available for a long time.. many years. Sorry if my post wasn't clear, I was saying I made improvements to that feature.. fixed some bugs and overhauled how the app looks for notes that may be recorded under a different PLMN (like T-Mobile/Sprint Keep sites/etc). NR sites can be tricky depending on the provider because some use multiple NCIs per site.. and in my area, T-Mobile has changed a lot of them. For T-Mobile, I have not identified a pattern between old and new NCIs, so until you save a note under a new NCI, it's going to be blank. If you long-press on the "Connected to [LTE|NR]" label, it will send diagnostics immediately. There's no ability to add a comment to that report but you can send a few when you're seeing an issue and then send one with a comment referring to the other reports so I know what I'm looking for.

Finally got latest update within the hour. Duplicate GCI updates: Most used s24 ultra: none. S21 ultra #1: 0.3%, s21 ultra #2: 0.1%. Networks: T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T. All have dual sims, but recently disabled second sim given scp issues. All with latest firmware.

Am I crazy or were neighbor notes always available? I know I've seen them on my device for what seems like a year or more. After posting that my notes were back I've since discovered some that are still missing. I was driving so I couldn't send a diagnostic report but if I see it again I'll be sure to send one. It seems my 2G and LTE notes are all intact but 5G ones are hit or miss still.
