The debug screen has been abandoned. They recently redid it for the Intel model but not the Qualcomm.

I know it doesn't show Bandwidth but, it doesn't even show the Band? It shows the band on my Vzw iPhone 6s.

Yes, it shows what band I'm on. Gainesville, Fl only has B25 and B26 as far as I know. I'm on B25 at my apt and speeds have dropped below 1mbps since last July. I used to never get below 9-10 Mbps from my apt. It rained really bad one day last July, and my internet went out. I thought no biggie since my phone service was good. After the storm speeds have been horrendous from my apt.

Until 10x10 or B41 comes speed will not improve.

Wow...thanks Terrell. Idk why Ocala and Gainesville are so neglected. Marion county is huge, and Gainesville is most definitely a college town with the University of Florida being here.

Well Ocala received one band 41 tower online in Sept 2016. It has 3xCA. Poor Gainesville though they don't have anything. Very poor experience when I go there. No permits either.

I don't think iPhone no longer shows bandwidth after the iPhone 6. I've read that every iPhone from 6s forward won't show download bandwidth.

The UARFCN field still does work though. What does that say?

Gainesville isn't too bad in most parts of the city, but I live literally right by I-75 so I would think service would be better where I'm at. Like I said at one point it was always good at my place but now it's getting harder to not port to Verizon. I really don't want to. I've had sprint since I was 17 and I'm 29 now.

I'm just curious does the small 2 beside the band mean a second carrier?

If so, this was in Birmingham across from the 280 sprint corp store...

Could you post a pic of service mode? Just curious about the Bandwidth. It's *#0011* on Samsung.

This is on a galaxy tab A, but it's Birmingham... an hour away. I'll try to get it on my phone next time I go

155808d082a4cb21134e91215bc9c565.jpg Anyone know what he is talking about? I have heard nothing about 3 B25 Carriers​.

 

Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

I think he is mistaken. They could do a 10x10 and 5x5 using 2xCA b25 though and make a 15x15 that way.

That guy lurks here name tyroned. Basically wrong since you can't run more than 2 LTE carriers in dual mode cdma + lte and its not a 3rd b25 carrier since it's just one 15 MHz b25 carrier thanks to refarmed cdma spectrum.

Yep. That's why I got confused.

Does anyone know if the Philly area can do 10x10, 15x15 or even a second carrier on B25?

 

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

No 2nd 5x5 there?

In Philly they have the G Block then also the B Block. Depends on how much they have on the B Block..

Haven't seen any but then again I am hardly ever on B25, I see it rarely. I'm always on B41 even indoors.

That's a great problem to have.

Are the B41 speeds good?

    • May 1st security update installed on s24 ultra factory unlocked. No functional changes detected.
    • Quote from wsj; "The T-Mobile deal could be reached as soon as later this month, while discussions with Verizon on a separate transaction are expected to take longer or might not result in an agreement, the people said." "The rising value of wireless licenses is a driving force behind the deal. U.S. Cellular’s spectrum portfolio touches 30 states and covers about 51 million people, according to regulatory filings." https://specmap.sequence-omega.net/
    • From WSJ which is paywalled but they're reporting that T-Mobile and Verizon are working on a joint deal to buy and split up U.S. Cellular. https://www.wsj.com/business/telecom/t-mobile-verizon-in-talks-to-carve-up-u-s-cellular-46d1e5e6?st=qwngrnh4s3bcr76 — — — — —  Summary from a user in the Reddit thread:  
    • So, in summary, here are the options I tested: T-Mobile intl roaming - LTE on SoftBank, routes back to the US (~220ms to 4.2.2.4) IIJ physical SIM - LTE on NTT, local routing Airalo - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer SoftBank), routed through Singapore (SingTel) Ubigi - 5G on NTT, routed through Singapore (Transatel) US Mobile East Asia roaming - 5G on SoftBank, routed through Singapore (Club SIM) Saily - 5G on NTT, routed through Hong Kong (Truphone)...seems to be poorer routing my1010 - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer KDDI), routed through Taiwan (Chunghwa Telecom) I wouldn't buy up on the T-Mobile international roaming, but it's a solid fallback. If you have the US Mobile roaming eSIM that's a great option. Otherwise Ubigi, Airalo, or my1010 are all solid options, so get whatever's cheapest. I wouldn't bother trying to find a physical SIM from IIJ...the Japanese IP is nice but there's enough WiFi that you can get a Japanese IP enough for whatever you need, and eSIM flexibility is great (IIJ as eSIM but seems a bit more involved to get it to work).
