Wow, kinda surprising that they have both band 26 and 41 in enabled from the beginning.

 

Yeah, but that was standard two months ago with the immediate update for the Galaxy Mega and Galaxy S4 Mini, was it not?

Curious of what SignalCheck shows when on LTE if it allows the PCI and GCI to be snagged.

 

Can be done if only I can figure a way to force LTE. 

 

Oh and guys. The nexus 5 have not been dethroned!

-Edit- Firmware looks appears to be more up to date than the single band GS4

 

 

 

 

 

Where do you go to get to that last screenshot? Is that screen only for tri-band phones or can I get to it from my S4?

Triband only.

Is the -140RSRP Right ? OR does it show that when trying to connect?

Tried to connect and got booted off due to eCSFB. Values are null but correct. 

 

Also 3G icon is changed..

Ah, So band 41 RSRP values will be higher(lower) than traditional values?

Unfortunately it doesn't seem so...

Why are Band 41 results so low? it can't possibly be loaded.

Backhauls not upgraded. Seems to top out at about 20 mbps for this one. I know of several other ones in my area that I'll test out later.

re: exterior box photos

 

I see the LTE B26 frequency added, I don't see any explicit mention of Spark or the 720T part number anywhere.  Were there any other hints on the the box or is the Band26 / three LTE frequencies listed the only way to tell from the outside of the box?

 

I suppose it was on the end labels or something.

 

Mine should deliver Monday.  It has tracked into the Kentucky hub with UPS tonight.  2 days via ground from there.

 

Have you gathered any information useful to update the entry on PDADB?

It is the WiMAX "bandwithhog."

    • Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]
    • Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.   
    • This has been approved.. https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/fcc-approves-t-mobiles-deal-to-purchase-mint-mobile/  
    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
