I have now received two notices from PayPal for two S4GRU members who have selected regular recurring donations to S4GRU. I know many of you have been disappointed that you haven't had this option before in the past, and it appears now you can set up a regular recurring payment scenario on your PayPal account.

It's called an "Automatic Payment Profile." You can set that up on your PayPal account with your next donation to have it automatically donate monthly for an amount you choose.  Information about how to do that is listed in the post below this one.

If you've thought about utilizing an automatic payment system in the past to support S4GRU, please do so. One of the problems with our funding is that it's highly cyclical. We often have dry spells of little to no donations. To have a good portion of members on auto pay would likely stabilize our funding to be more even and useful.

I thank you in advance for your consideration of this service to support the site.

OK, here is how the recurring works.  If you click on the Donate button on the top right hand corner of the forums page, it now has a monthly recurring box next to the donation amount box on the following PayPal page.  If you would like to make recurring monthly donations, select this box and put in the amount of the recurring monthly donation amount.  This can be cancelled anytime in the future should your finances change.

 

Feel free to put in $5, $10, $20, $25...whatever your monthly budget allows and you're willing to support S4GRU with.  However, it appears that only monthly recurring payments are supported.  Weekly or bi-weekly does not seem to be allowed at this time.  But this is good news for all you folks who have been asking for this feature for a long time!

 

Thank you all for supporting S4GRU!

I'm kind of surprised that only one person has added this monthly contribution to S4GRU since it was announced earlier this week.  I have been asked to add this feature by at least two dozen members.  Perhaps you all were waiting for the weekend?  :tu:

I asked PayPal if there was any way to choose the day of the month in which the payment is made, but have not heard back yet. Robert, do you have any power to change which day a user makes a recurring payment on your end? I am guessing probably not, but who knows. This feature seems to be in its infancy on PayPal.

I think it's just automatically the day you sign up for it. I don't see a way to change it, least not yet.

I haven't been able to find a way to pick a day, yet.

 

You means I can't get it done for the day my welfare check comes in?  And when's you gonna start taking Western Union?

 

:P

I have been asked to take Western Union Speedpay, Bitcoin and other monetary sites before! :hee:

 

But not by Mike, of course! :tu:

PayPal just got back to me (a phone call and an email.. surprisingly enthusiastic).. they claim that the recipient has the ability to modify the payment date after the automatic payment is created, but the sender does not. In any case, not a huge issue; users can just cancel and recreate the payment on their preferred day of the month.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
