So I went to dl an app in the play store, while out and about.  Clicked install and asked for the permissions, and went to the DL part and it just sat there with the little blue progress bar doing its thing, but no progress is being made....  I think ok thats weird try again, same thing....hummmm

 

Power off and restart, try again...nothing, so I think maybe its this particular app....try a different one nothing.....hummm   Ok so i do a speed test....on band 41 if it matters... anyway doing its thing, half way through kicks out network issues   :hmm:  :hmm:  :hmm:  :hmm:   ok so i go in and disable band 41....kicks to 26, try it again  :scratch:  :scratch:  :scratch:  :scratch:  :scratch:   shortly there after it cycles back to 25 (26 had a reading of 84)

 

So then I think its the tower, so i click install and put it away...drive around and head home....forget to check it....get home turn on my wifi..... :blink:  :blink:  :blink:   it works....

 

i am getting FB notifications, and other things work....what seems to be the deal here???

I'm having the same thing... The only thing that has let me install my apps is clearing the data for Google Play, restarting and then quickly do it.

I have seen this happen. Go into the app settings and clear all data in the google play store, download manager and then restart. See if that helps

ok we will try this... what about the band 41 issue cutting in and out

I don't know if it related. But here in the eastern Iowa market (where we don't have spark) is seeing eerily similar issues. Since February 12th, the network connection will just stop working. I would be surfing and then all of a sudden web pages wouldnt load. I would do a speed test and it wouldn't run. So I toggled airplane mode on and off and then data would work again (around 5mbps). Then about 2 mins later it would stop working again. Another temp solution is doing ##update to get it working again, but again that is only temporary.

 

We are also experiencing dramatic speed swings from 5mbps down to .2 in the same location taken within a minute of each other.

If you google "google play download stalls" or hangs a lot of people have similar issues. Ive always had issues intermittently.

 

Yeah, I've always had a lag issue with Play updates even on my fancy home wifi.

    • 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.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
