What is band class 27? I have never seen it before?

It was seen on the EV-DO engineering screen. Data was refusing to work, and It kept saying it was sprint service

That's an invalid band class. CDMA band classes only go up to 21 (starting from 0). UMTS/LTE devices do something similar by identifying as band 0 (which is an invalid band number).

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "out of index" error might refer to the fact that it's trying a band class ID that doesn't exist and trying to reference a CDMA channel number to it?

Lower 850MHz band for Americas except the US

 

Carriers across the Americas (except the US) have spectrum on the SMR (specialized mobile radio) band and want to migrate from iDEN technology to LTE. Currently, the 3GPP is working on developing the band specification and will approve it as LTE band class 27. To be clear, this has nothing to do with the Cellular 850 spectrum, as these frequencies are below it. These were reserved quite some time ago for SMR usage, and have never been used for anything else..... I found that on http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/135045-what-is-lte-advanced/5 . How did you get on that band if it's invalid lol?

I saw that but It didn't make sense, I did a full reboot, and It disappeared. I was donating plasma and my data stopped working , so I checked the Engineering screens to check to see if I saw something similar to Digi's Channel 100, and saw that...Not sure How it happened though. It was perfectly fine on signal check too!

Yes What I thought, but it is a band class In south/rest of North america. Thought possibly a mistake or software error

It is in terms of 3GPP band classes, not 3GPP2 band classes. CDMA band classes are defined by the 3GPP2, and they go from 0 to 21. 3GPP band class 27's equivalent band class in 3GPP2 is band class 10. 3GPP2 band class 27 doesn't exist (yet).

Typically with CDMA, they are referred to as "Band Class" whereas with LTE, they are commonly referred to as just "Band."

 

For instance with SMR, it is CDMA "Band Class 10", whereas it is LTE "Band 26."

 

Referencing them only this way will help people to know which actual band/technology you may be referring to and help eliminate confusion.

I see that my brainwashing has succeeded.

      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.
