My battery life on the Note 2 has been about the following for a full day (about 16 hours, 7AM - 11PM): Virtually no usage...about 70% battery remaining Light usage...about 55% battery remaining

Well its been one hell of a ride with my old phone and waiting for the Note 2.   I bought 2 Notes at the end of Oct and was hoping they would arrive before my vacation, but due to the storm they did

Question..  what would be the best way on the Note II to force it to scan for 800 when it is currently on 1900?  I know usually you do a PRL update and that would force the phone to rescan.  We can't do that on our Note II because that will install a non-800 PRL.  Go through the ##DATA# and update PRL that way?  The SignalCheck App doesn't seem to work for selecting frequency on this phone.

 

I do have the sponsor 800-priority PRL installed but there are times (like at work) that it will hang on to a weaker 800 signal while a much stronger 1900 signal is nearby.  I would like to avoid using that PRL for that reason!

 

Thanks!

You pretty much summed it up.  You can't besides maybe throwing the device into a faraday cage to make it rescan then removing it just the right moment when it is scanning for 800 and not 1900. 

 

And ooo....never pick the frequency thing on your phone.  There's no way to get it back to Automatic on some devices short of a complete factory reset with reactivation.

Thankfully the SignalCheck app blocks it from even attempting on the Note II.  Good thing because I didn;t know of that problem :)

Waiting to see how it plays out with the folks who took the update and them get a base to work with.  I would do it but if I brick my device I would have a shiny Epic 4G to sport for a while and that would be PAINFUL!!  We've waited this long for things and I'm not going to rush it just for a few changes here and there.

thx for your response.

 

sorry to bother but i never did this , so i downloaded to my computer then drag to my phone?

Make sure you put it on your sdcard and then shut down the phone. Make sure the file is still a zip, not unzipped. Do the 3 button power up by pressing volume up-home button-power button. Select upgrade from the sdcsrd in the menu, when you see the red triangle in the open Android robot's chest. Touch the screen, and your phone will update.

Well if you need a tester, count me in. I have two other devices I could go back to if need be. Plus, if it kills my Note 2, it'll be my push to buy a Nexus 5. ;)

      Another SCP beta is rolling out now, with some bugfixes as usual but also some fun new options to test: Non-standalone 5G-NR cells can now display Site Notes. This feature works in the same manner as how neighbor cell notes are displayed, requiring a PCI and your device's location. This option is enabled by default. As is the case with neighbor cell notes, you cannot edit NSA site notes directly unless there is an NCI being reported (which I have never seen); it uses the previously recorded standalone log entries. Like neighbor notes, if a cell has been previously logged but there is no note, you will see the distance information only.   Logging cells that are not reporting a valid PLMN is now possible. This option is disabled by default, but if you enable it along with two other options (log sites with missing GCI/NCI and to log sites with missing TAC), you should begin logging most NSA 5G-NR cells. A PCI is needed at a minimum, which is not always reported depending on your device and network factors. ("Sites" will be renamed to "cells" on the Preferences menu in the next update.)   Users can enable an option to display LTE cells above 5G-NR cells in the app if they choose to do so. This option is disabled by default. Should help improve the readability of your screen if you have NSA 5G-NR cells constantly appearing/disappearing. Please give these options a try and let me know if you notice any issues.. thanks!

      Not yet. We probably won't see one submitted until construction on the new building is substantially complete.

      Yes, that is where the site used to be. All the antennas were removed. I hope they add a new site soon. Have any permits been submitted for a new site?

      Looks like there's a slightly taller building going up next door to where the decommissioned site used to be. Taking a look at StreetView, T-Mobile likely decommissioned the site because the east facing sector would blocked by the new building. If I had to guess, T-Mobile has already agreed to move to the roof of the new building and is just waiting for it to be completed to install the site there. What they should've done is just rearrange the sectors in the meantime but it seems like T-Mobile just bit the bullet and decommed the tower in the short term. — — — — — A permit was issued for a Sprint conversion at 150 Prospect Park West, finally filling in what is T-Mobile's largest coverage gap in Park Slope. Verizon is collocated on that building and AT&T has placed small cells along Prospect Park West to fill in coverage there while T-Mobile struggled using two sites, one at Grand Army Plaza at the far north and another at Bartel Pritchard Square to the far south.
