My notes are back! As always appreciate your work! If I knew anything at all about how it all worked I'd offer to help haha

I haven't really noticed any significant differences. I declined as much of the AI stuff as I could.

Hmm. Mine are still missing. They do show up on single sector and band situations, but are otherwise missing. Just updated to One UI 6.1 and made sure SCP was updated as well.

Still missing notes for me. At least so far.

More info... drove out to central Nebraska and back, hit some new sites that I know never had notes on them. Added a note, but as soon as it switched bands or sectors, the note disappeared. It seems the note is tied to that specific band AND sector rather than sharing it across the same GCI/NCI. Hopefully that means the notes that are "missing" are just because I was on the wrong band or sector!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe this is a regional thing... but T-Mobile has way more B/n41 sites than Sprint ever did across Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado and Oklahoma. Including quite a bit of rural coverage that Sprint never touched.

With that change... first time I've cracked Gig+ in Omaha. Granted it was before 6am, but still...

They just expanded the primary n41 carrier here in Omaha! Up until sometime this morning we were at 80+40n41. This afternoon we are 100+40! A relatively small change but nice to see nonetheless.

Anywhere that has less than 80MHz on n41 doesn't allow for it to be the primary carrier on SA out here, but allows for it to CA with n25 and n71. That's why you don't see n41 on any western Nebraska or Northeast Colorado sites on Cellmapper. They're all 50+30, 40+40, 20+40, or something like that. At least they were. n41 was there, but was never the primary carrier. But still allowed to operate as 3 or 4xCA while in SA mode. Not sure if that's what you meant, but that's what I've seen on some very rural sites that appear to be using all the spectrum available at the time.

Rural Nebraska sites had 100+40 before the spectrum was allocated, I'm sure they'll put it all into n41 as they never bothered to but B41 on the expansion sites out here.

Here is probably fine, or you could use the Alabama thread if you want, hasn't had a ton of activity lately.

I saw T-Mobile running B26 LTE in northeast Colorado this weekend driving between Omaha and Denver. I have no idea why.... but it was there. Most markets are affected to some degree, more rural areas where Sprint/Clear didn't focus on WiMax/B41 seeing the biggest boost.

I haven't put a lot of research into the S24 line this year, haven't had a lot of time for it. Is there anything really upgrade worthy on the S24 Ultra over the S23 Ultra? Best Buy is offering a decent trade in (since T-Mobile wants me to change plans to upgrade) but it really doesn't seem like all that much changed, and I don't really care about the Galaxy AI stuff.

Nice. Relatively quick. Side note .... how's the snow? 🥶 ❄️

I've run into multiple n25 carriers in quite a few places. Usually it's the 5x5 G-Block becuae it's isolated and then something else random at 15 or 20x20. Leaving 10x10 or so on LTE. Have yet to see any n66 anywhere. Seems like they have at least 20x20 B66 running so probably keeping that as the wide LTE carrier for as long as possible.

Interesting. This is something I had with my Sprint account for a long time, it's still active on my T-Mobile account. I figured it would be going away eventually. Surprised they renewed it, especially with the talk about Hulu getting merged into Disney+ at some point this year.

I don't understand why a store had to upgrade it? It should have been pushed out to your phone nearly two months ago when they pushed it to everyone else.

It automatically downloaded over a month ago? You have an S23 Ultra? T-Mobile branded or unlocked? I have no idea why you wouldn't have gotten it yet. My Tab S9 has already gotten the update.

I suspect the trade in for the Note 20 won't go up any higher, but I'm really not sure. I was very surprised at how *little* they offered to trade in my S21 Ultra. I think Samsung was offering like $300 at the time of the S23 Ultra launch. Best Buy bumped it to like $400, but it wasn't even half the cost so I'm surprised they're even offering $500 for the Note 20 at the moment.

Update hasn't hit my phone yet but as far as I know they still are? Are you having an issue?

C-Band/DoD will require a climb became it's new equipment. So will mmWave. Refarming more PCS/AWS is software as long as the tower has modern equipment.
