I'm up in Maine and USCC 3G is working great.  I had to do a PRL update and restart the phone, but I'm consistently getting between 1 to 2 Mbps down.

 

I did discover something interesting.  Occasionally, my phone would lose the 1X voice carrier and only have the EVDO carrier connected.  In these instances, the roaming icon would disappear from my phone and all roaming warnings would disappear until it picked up the USCC 1X signal again (or hopped onto Verizon 1X voice and data).  I'm obviously aware it wasn't a Sprint signal, but this could mislead the average consumer.

 

Overall though, a great experience with roaming here.

Several S4GRU members noticed an update to the coverage map tool yesterday on Sprint’s website. One prominent difference was a significant increase in off-network "3G" EV-DO roaming, particularly in t

That's correct.  The 55025 file is corrupt.  The 55023 file also appeared to be corrupt.  I went back to 55022.     Thanks.  Having looked at it, I believe I've figured out what's going on in the

USCC doesn't see themselves as a national carrier. They see themselves as regional carrier, albeit a large one. If a customer spends enough time outside their footprint that it's a problem, they have

This article seems to think USCC+T-Mobile deal is coming.

 

It does seem like USCC's decision and Sprint having more roaming partners are in a stall.   Maybe it is Sprint, or USCC is negotiating with both and in a stall.

I too think it's coming.

Sprint should talk to masa buy/merge with us cellular out with the name sprint. Back into 3rd place with expanded coverage. Roaming deal with Tmo, swap useless spectrum or sell to whoever, buy the spectrum in pr/vi release a new map tout best network. Hurry up and get all the major metros with 2xca before the name change takes place. Yes it will cost some cash but it's what sprint needs.

 

Then buy Tmo after the election

      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.
