Mine kept dropping back to 3g so i kept doing ##update# to get it back. This time i did ##scrtn# here's hoping it will stay this time

Like wise. Since still new maybe that. I'm noticing the same.

Ok i just upgraded to scp paid version what do i do to log this for them. I seen earlier they were asking for people to do it so I'm trying to contribute but don't know what settings to use. Lol. Also is there anything I should check in the preferences to help out.

Also fun note, most months I was lucky to use 1g of data, well since last night I turned my wifi off and only using lte already used 1.5 g lol thank god for unlimited data.

That's like me. Less than .5gb due to wifi. Not sure today.

Under Preferences, enter Location Settings and check the "Enable Location Service" checkbox.  I usually set the priority to high accuracy but that makes battery drain a concern, so I don't recommend most people do that.  Under Logger Settings, check the Enable Site Logger checkbox, and if the "log sites with missing GCI" is checked, uncheck that. 

 

Then after a few days, do some log exports and we'll take a good look!  Thanks!

I just realized I'm going to Richmond airport tonight to pick up my daughter. I'll be curious how the transition between nTelos-land and points east is, and I'll run Sensorly to generate some data.

 

Fun times! ????

Would you mind logging the trip with SCP, or can you do both at once?  Flompholph and I would love to have your logs for both the nTelos and Richmond parts.  :)

Guys, you're gonna give AJ an aneurism with all of these speed tests that you're running. :D

 

But seriously, let's not start and abuse this privilege that we have (finally) gained. :)

Oh, let them have today. I'll hold AJ back! ;)

Does anyone have any advice for my phone, I have an iPhone 6 Plus and today in Roanoke it is showing Sprint LTE in the top left screen corner but data is not working at all. I have tried to restart, reset network settings and the ##update# but still no data.

Any help would be appreciated.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
