Is there a way to use a tmobile SIM card while still having the phone active on Sprint?

 

Obviously not using both networks at the same time, either on Sprint, or T-mobile.

Yep. Shut off. Swap SIM, make sure the APN is good and that's it.

OK guys be careful with this radio. It doesn't seem to disconnect from sites that aren't ecsfb ready. You could have LTE but unable to fall back for a call

 

 

I will test this out tonight in Ericsson land at a problem site that has been without e/CSFB for like 6 months.

But this absolutely sucks!

someone else said they were connecting to sites with ecsfb issues. But let me know if it connects to the b41 automatically or after an airplane toggle.

Okay so as I'm still outside and my hands are freezing the point 15 baseband will not automatically connect when you have a strong bad 25 signal as I did but it didn't, Edit; to say it did connect after I toggle airplane mode and it has stayed connected....

were you connected to band 25 or 41 when you tried calling out?

25 on the problem site. I have an open ticket on the site so hopefully they will fix it soon. But I am going to flash back to .17

Also the site was colocated with Phase 1 B41 that should have been completed in September but i couldnt get it to connect o b41. I was hoping i could get data on b41 and it would have ecsfb.

Thanks for testing .15 out. It seems to like b41. Any other bad side effects you see?

I've noticed a couple band 41 sites in donut mode in DC today so that could an issue for you but idk

It seems to be similar to the G2 before the Spark update came out. There is something up with the thresholds. I couldnt connect to colocated sites at all. If I was too close to B25, It wouldnt pick up b41 even if b41 would have been a stronger signal. But when I got on b41 it wanted to stay until it couldn't.

Ok back inside and it is warm... .15 radio performance is awesome... Couldn't prl update on it... Had to toggle airplane mode for it to connect to band 41 site... I apparently cannot upload a screenshot because I'm not permitted so I'll try to send the Dropbox link to post

What were the Band Priorities?

I forgot to mention mine actually handed off from a band 25 to a 41 site. I was in the area of a band 41 site and was about to do an airplane mode cycle then band 41 popped up.

was this handoff from a colocated site or was b25 signal lower than the B41?

My area has tower work being done so it doesn't handoff or connect when it gets to the triangle I am .... It literally is like the Bermuda triangle where LTE goes to die...

 

This just really goes to show how software can have such an influence on the performance of the radio in a phone.. And how BUTT the ONEmax is when it comes to radio performance :'(

band 25 site was a lower signal and it switched to a standalone band 41 site

did you change band priority? If not what were they defaulted too?

I honestly don't know how my settings got switched back as i put it in 26 and 25 on 0 but it reset when i rebooted i guess.

This is how mine happened too. I couldnt get to the site because of plowed snow mound so i drove up the road and parked. Couldnt get it there. Tried multiple priorities and prl/profile updates and kept getting b25. Set my settings back to b41-1, 25 & 26-0 and rebooted. Gave up and got back on the highway. As I got on the on-ramp it switched to b41. I didn't have a chance to try calling out while on b41. Only thing i regret not trying.

So the phone in areas with efcsb issues, will act like you are on LTE only mode! it will fall back when connected to towers that don't have fallback issues... I could test that going from one side of my apartment to the other on .15 baseband...

What is the theoretical max of a 20 MHz TDD carrier?

That depends on the downlink:uplink ratio chosen.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
