On T-Mobile's there is no VoLTE icon because it's turned on by default. T-Mobile must be making this change on all compatible devices regardless of network. On my S20 Ultra, there isn't even an option to turn VoLTE on or off on T-Mobile. The only way I can use 3G or 2G for calls is by turning off LTE altogether.

Yeah I'm sure the option will go away completely once we get an official software update to turn our phones into T-Mobile branded ones.

Right but I'm Sprint branded. This happened with the last day or so.

I understand however, now T-Mobile is in control of everything and they're likely pushing automatic updates in the background to unify user experience regardless of what brand the user is currently using.

Same here but that doesn't matter at this point.

Right. Didn't realize they were going to be moving that fast. Since my market wasn't officially 5G they turned it off for my phone and icon removed which the icon wasn't bad. I hated the icon anyway (Kind of like that Spark icon we use to have).

Best MVNOs That Use T-Mobile's Network in 2020

https://www.androidcentral.com/best-mvnos-use-t-mobiles-network

The cheapest is Red Pocket annual plan sold on E-bay for $60.  Actually covers any carrier.  I believe now you might have to pay $4 for their sims.

When will we get more 5G phones to buy from Sprint instead of just Galaxy S20? :(

Expecting a 5G iPhone in the Fall. T-Mobile's 5G network using Sprint's 2.5 GHz should be much more built out by then so it will be a better experience overall as well.

Why no OnePlus 8 on Sprint? :(

It does not support all three 5g bands IMO.

Also gives them a phone to offer any old LG 5g phones that no longer can do 5g.

However the same logic used to offer the LG V60 to replace a nonfunctioning LG 5G phone could be used to offer the OnePlus 8 5g phones since the OnePlus 7Pro 5G was previously sold by Sprint.

My LG V50 line is now eligible for an early upgrade, however there aren't any offers yet. I'm in the Michigan market. I have 6 months left to go of my lease. I assume once I get some type of notification the offers will be applied.

 Anyone else see the same? I wonder if they are targeting V50 users to offer V60 upgrades? I'd prefer the S20 series more just because of the 1440p display and better security patch updates. I do like the dual screen option of the V60 however.

FCC’s 5G Upgrade order passes 3-2

The ruling adopted today clarifies the commission’s 2014 rules with regard to when the 60-day shot clock for local review begins. The ruling also clarifies how certain aspects of proposed modifications – height increases, equipment cabinet additions and impact on concealment elements and aesthetic conditions – affect eligibility for streamlined review.

I personally don't want the V60 anymore. The screen resolution isn't as good as the V50.

For me it's the loss of the true third rear camera, and frankly I'm tired of LG's poor handling of monthly updates and upgrades. As much as I've liked my V40 and V50, it's not enough anymore.

Yea the V50 I feel was better than my previous LG phones for updates. However my market turned off 5G for me since we weren't officially launched. I don't want the S20 due to Samsung bloatware. The One Plus 8 is in the same boat with V60's resolution. So I'll just hold my phone till I feel there is a nice replacement

I'm probably going to go with the S20+. I want a 1440p screen and mmWave 5G. I can deal with the bloat if it means better software updates and access to Live Caption. Maybe even the S20 I may consider losing mmWave.

Last Samsung I had was the S3. My wife has the S8 still but haven't upgraded her yet. Not even sure if I should wait or just get her a new phone non 5G

There is very little bloat on recent Samsung devices, 99% of them can be uninstalled.

    • It took a couple of months but this site is finally back online.  I was certain that a decommission permit would come through one day since it was offline for over 3 months but I passed by it today and it was working again. — — — — — This site is also finally live. This was probably the longest I had ever seen a site take to go live once all hardware was installed, about 3 months. Hopefully the site in Long Island City doesn't take as long.
    • So while we wait for @RAvirani to fix the website, I was able to connect one of my phones to Verizon n77 on a site with an NCI that appears to be adjacent to an NCI that was already in my database. Specifically, the site I call Taylor Run has been observed with these NCIs on n77: 44EEE469A 44EEE46AA 44EEE46AB 44EEE46BA 44EEE46BB I separately connected to the site I call Fairlington on its beta sector on n77: 44EEE46DA 44EEE46DB I'm assuming alpha sector is 44EE46CA/B.  With this data, I learned two things: 1) They're clearly not tracking the LTE GCIs with the NR NCIs.  Taylor Run is 1B61Fxx, while Fairlington is 1B680xx, not sequential. 2) It's clear that they're not using three byte sectors.  They're not even using two byte sectors like LTE does.  It looks to be done in an oddball fashion like how Dish is doing things.  Best I can come up with is a site ID that's something like: (NCI-0x20)/(0x30) It's possible it's actually (NCI+0x10)/(0x30) but I'm not really sure.  I also haven't connected to anything outside my immediate area here to know if this is consistent with other regions.  Not entirely sure how to persuade a device to do so, my Dish phone just connects to n77 at random in lieu of going to no signal.  (No data passes.) My take is to "break" the site notes for Verizon NR the way it was done with Dish NR, so at least the notes don't get copied to inconsistent sites, as has happened when I connected to Fairlington (came up as "Taylor Run").  It seems that Verizon, AT&T, and Dish all need work on the NR side to make sure site notes work properly.  Frustrating that they didn't standardize that for NR the way they did for LTE.  T-Mobile and US Cellular (while it lasts) seem to have done it the way I would have done it.  The others, not so much. - Trip
    • I tried to access that forum but it says I need a password. Is it limit to certain contributors?    I was going to report that the website is broken. For days it's been saying unable to retrieve signal data then going to a 404 error.
    • Sorry, I forgot about it when I posted previously.  And then I was talking to chamb by e-mail and away from my computer and suggested posting here.  Moved the posts to the proper spot. - Trip
    • It is probably better to post topics related to the map in the dedicated thread to help keep things organized and secure. This thread is big enough as it is, just want to try help keep things on track!
