  1. I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.

  2. A new SignalCheck beta is rolling out now and should be available on Google Play shortly. It includes some new user-suggested features and several bug fixes. One change that should be noted is that secondary SIM cells are no longer logged by default; there is a new option under the Beta Crew menu to re-enable it if you prefer. I have not been able to get Dual SIM logging to be reliable yet, random entries mix and match the provider details and SIM number. Hoping this at least resolves the issue with inaccurate log entries for the primary SIM. Will continue to work on that.. it remains the final hurdle to open up Dual SIM support for all users.

  3. Depends on if you are in the standard Beta group or the Internal Test group. I roll all releases out to both groups simultaneously, but Beta releases get screened/analyzed/reviewed by Google Play first, in the same manner that production releases are. Internal Test releases become available immediately. When they came out with the Internal Test option (which has a limit on number of users), I offered it with the caveat that they're slightly riskier because of the lack of review and let users decide which group to be in.

  5. I love that service has progressed/improved in many, many areas (including the Lexington metro area) to the point where the forums are largely quiet. When service is great, there's not much reason to look forward to upgrades! I guess, because, they've long since been completed! Bittersweet but kinda awesome.

  7. I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41. using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.

  8. Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now. Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.

  11. Yeah I was going to say, we have 100+80 in Nokia markets. We also have 20+20, 30+20, 40+20, 40+40, 50+20, 50+30, 50+40, 80+20, 80+40, 100+40. All NR41 combinations that I have seen in Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri.

  12. 100+80 works in Nokia markets though (e.g. here).

  13. Well... I tried to send an email but Gmail doesn't seem to want to send. Never seen that before, just sitting "queued." It may have sent twice now... Lol.

  14. On a related note, I did some diving the through the FCC documents for the AEHC. I couldn't find any that indicated they validated it for NR100+NR90 (just NR100+NR50+LTE20+LTE20). This makes me think we will only see the NR100+NR90 channels in Ericsson markets.

  15. Yes actually, I was wondering if I had somehow deleted them. But the majority of the sites I'm sure I had notes for are blank now.

  16. S24 ultra factory unlocked still switches back and forth from n41 to n38. Sent diags. Will check other dual sim phones. Other factor. Seems that when my bandwidth is 80 it shows n41 (nr-arfcn 502110), when bandwidth is 100 it shows n38 (nr-arfcm 520110).

  19. Mapped a bit of Perth Amboy since it seemed undermapped on Cellmapper. There are no Sprint conversions in the city however I did map a new build and one older site that had never been mapped before. The part that stood out to me while mapping the city is T-Mobile's site density in comparison to AT&T specifically since those are the two networks that I map. T-Mobile has 10 sites within city limits in comparison to AT&T's 4 sites. AT&T still performs great there thanks to their combo of C-band and DoD spectrum. I got max speeds of about 650Mbps right under a site but those speeds quickly drop off the farther you go from the site. In some parts of the city I couldn't get any more than ~40Mbps on AT&T because I was at the edge of the C-band cell and I'm certain most of the throughput was coming from the lowband I was aggregating with. T-Mobile on the other hand couldn't get the peak speeds that AT&T had because of NextWave encumbering them. They only have 40+40 n41 but had much more consistent 300-400Mbps speeds virtually everywhere I went and a much stronger signal. The only area where they struggled in terms of speed was around Five Corners where T-Mobile has a site on top of the Perth Amboy National Bank Building but it hasn't been upgraded just yet. They only have n71 and n25 on that site. I got speeds of about 150-200Mbps under that site which isn't bad but it's also the busiest area of the city so they definitely could use the capacity.

  20. NP. FYI, No sign of beta yet. Being in beta instead of alpha is no problem. Perhaps betas only get it once all alphas have been updated. Edit just got beta a few minutes ago.

  21. Strange. I got it within a half hour after Mike posted here that it was available.

  22. Following up on this. I just went up to City Island and it looks like T-Mobile is giving them the Broad Channel treatment by adding a bunch of small cells throughout the island. I mapped three new ones today bringing them to a total of seven small cells. It's still not a replacement for actual macros though. They need to join Verizon and AT&T in adding at least one more site closer to the north end of the island. Also snapped a pic of the upgraded site: — — — — — I mapped a recently upgraded site in Cobble Hill earlier and noticed that the gNB IDs for n41 and n25/71 are separated by two. Maybe it's a sneak peak into the numbering scheme going forward? gNB ID 1089448 is n41 and 1089450 is n25/71. Maybe n66 or n77 will be given 1089449.

  25. Has anyone had an issues with site notes disappearing since the last beta update? I'd say at least 9 out of 10 site notes are now blank in the app, both for 5G and 4G sites. It started with 4.831b.
