How did this happen?

How can this happen?  This is in a non-4g area.  Usually I can pick up 4g if I'm on a high enough floor in a building, but this was in a ground level outdoor parking lot.

Wow, I work literally two minutes North East of you, on Miracle Mile. Anyway, 4G has actually been working pretty well near Coral Gables. Everyday on my drive back home, I take LeJeune south and then head west on Ponce de Leon, and I have 4G the whole time. I wouldn't doubt if by the school they finally started deploying it fully as well. Also one more thing, in my office I get 4G now too.

It was a glitch.  You were not connected to LTE; you were connected to EV-DO, as SignalCheck clearly indicates.  The EVO LTE cannot connect to LTE and EV-DO simultaneous because both share the same RF path.

I've actually seen this happen, but when it happens to me the phone connects to 4G a second after, but both bars will show signal strength.... Would it have anything to do with the phone switching to LTE?

I've seen this a couple of times as well when I loose lose 4G. When you have this happen to you again, pull up the debug and you can still see it reporting an RSRP value, but you are not actually connected to LTE. Eventually it will go away.

Same here as well, happened to me a few times.

Ahh ok that's interesting.  I figured the phone was trying to connect to it or something and that's why I was seeing it.

 

And Monday, my phone will connect to LTE if I'm one floor higher than where my office is.  Go figure!  It's probably connecting to one of the towers in the distance (probably in your area) that have LTE.  Hopefully they deploy on campus soon.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
