RightNow Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 So a bit of update to my situation with one of my MBs. I wrote about how it had the 20% issue and then it got stuck in a boot loop crashing out. I emailed last night to send it back and gave some information. They wrote back this morning and asked if it was showing a SIM error message. It was not, it was an initialization message but since I hadn't plugged it in since the boot loop crashing where I let the battery die, I did so just to see if it popped up a new error. It powered on and took what felt like forever with flashing e-ink screen and then brought up the familiar signal check screen. And it passed. Color me surprised. So any of you that had that issue and just happen to have the box around still, check it out. They may have misconfigured something on your account or whatever but give it another chance. Especially those in the NC area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Android devices. iOS devices are/were SRLTE for SMS. That is why they were unaffected by the early e/CSFB issue. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too much work as that would require going over every single EBS and BRS allocation per market. If people are interested in it then they are free to ask and it can be looked up but I doubt anyone wants to do it for every single region (EBS leases are a pain in the butt). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off topic, do premier sponsors have access to which towers have Band 41 active? I didn't see it in the regular sponsors map section.

shaferz Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Bumping again - new (replacement) MB arrived Friday. We were gone this weekend, so i just now got it set up. Achieved a 'score' of 59. MB has been configured and running now for 2 hours, and neither of our iphones will connect to it. Guess I'll let it go overnight to ensure it does its update to the latest software, etc. If we still aren't connected to it in the morning, then i guess it's a call back in to MB Support. I'm starting to wonder if it's our iPhones. Has anyone in this thread had a consistent experience in regards to iphones connecting to their Magic Boxes? Maybe iOS 11 will have a carrier settings update that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixel XL wouldn't connect to it after 30 minutes or so of trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't hurt to do PRL updates or whatnot. For the stubborn devices I've seen, airplane mode has done the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Also note that in some cases it's the macro network not handing you off due to handoff thresholds for each band. They don't want people ping ponging so it may take some time for optimization of handoffs to occur. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe iOS 11 will have a carrier settings update that helps? I have an iPhone and have been fortunate to not have any issues with it connecting to my MB at all. I received my MB on Wednesday. After plugging it in and letting it do its thing for a couple of hours, I witnessed my signal strength go from -114 dBm to -69 dBm B41 while I was using my phone. Pretty neat to witness. Since then, my phone has automatically locked onto the MB B41 signal whenever I pull into my driveway. I'm on a 6S+ and haven't had to reset my phone, do a PRL update, airplane mode, or anything else. My house is in a pocket of pretty weak B41, and B25 is weak indoors, so that could be why my phone is connecting so well to the MB. Maybe I'm just lucky. I hope this helps and that your MB starts working out for you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanm1978 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So far, nothing I've done has made the note 8, mine or my wife, c connect better than it does right now. In places where the note 5 was fine and had great signal, the note 8 drops to att b17. I wish I could turn off b17.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
