An experimental post over at XDA had some of us cause changes to our photon that we did not anticipate, mainly not being able to revert back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870916&page=2 Post #20.

 

Doing those steps caused the photon to NOT be able to go back to the "default" settings of which frequencies it is set to use when around the US / World. basically, no auto-roaming.

 

We can fix the issue by using QPST to select the right bands, but no one is sure what the right bands were. Was wondering if someone who has not done this method can take a screenshot of their phone in QPST so we have a baseline of what needs to be selected and not. The tab in QPST is UMTS System. Picture attached for a reference of what we are running for now to at least allow auto roaming in the USA.

 

Thanks and much appreciated.

Yes, in the thread that is said to be an option..but more of a last ditch effort. Was hoping the fix was as simple as checking a few boxes, but I also wonder if this change altered other areas that are unknown. Possibly the factory reset is the safer way to go.

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
