Just sent diags in by mistake. Sorry.

I get dozens of random reports daily with no name or issue listed.. not a problem at all! I review most of them anyway, to see how the app performs on various devices and networks.

[dkyeager]

Sent in several from my 1+ nord n200 5g #1 clear rooted for NSA n41 and NSA n71. They were bracket by nsg showing the same. I realize they may still not have data you can work with. Have nsg screenshots if you need them from same device (DE2117).

It looks like the phantom NR connection when my second SIM has gone to no service is still an issue .

How are we looking with the latest update.. any improvement? 🤞

Anyone else seeing stale NR after connection is lost? This is the primary hurdle remaining that is keeping fron rolling this version out to a wider audience.

Today I noticed my Dish phone only showing one connection. I opened up service mode, and the secondary connection had no service. 

So the issue might be fixed!!! I’ll keep watching the next few days and let you know what I see.

A while back in this beta test cycle I noticed issues with SCP when getting a call on the secondary line on my S21 ultras.  I turned off "Allow secondary SIM to use data during calls" which seemed to fix the issue.  Fast forward to today and I re-enabled that setting and those issues now appear to be fixed.  Now if I do a speed test which works when the setting is this way (other way the speed test is suspended), SCP will say mobile data inactive while I am pulling data.  I would document this issue away for now.  May behave differently on s22 and s23s.

Everything has been working good for me on the latest update. I finally hit a MMwave site to see what that looked like.

Awesome, glad to hear that -- thank you for sharing, that's the first shot I've seen mmWave in the wild! What does the SCP status bar icon show? Can't make it out clearly in that screenshot.

I didn't catch it apparently. The n77 in the screenshot is for my band alert. Looks like I had too many notifications 😆.

While I've been loath to update my Samsung devices past the May 2022 update to keep the Band Selection tool, I note that it looks like Android 14 is going to add Timing Advance for NR to the API.  (Was looking today as I have another Verizon A42 5G now that I'm going to unlock for T-Mobile, and wanted to figure out if I should let it update or not.)  Since I can technically make band changes from *#73#, on the A42 5Gs, I can probably live without the Band Selection tool if a later Android version adds something useful like TA values.

I assume SCP will be updated to support that once it becomes publicly available.  The real question is whether or not the phones will support it.  My S21FE and A42 5G devices do on LTE, but I know the S22 and the A32 5G do not support it even on LTE, providing just zero in that field.

That's good news, I just checked the API reference and see the added method. I will certainly add support to SCP, but as you mentioned it all depends on if the phones will support it. My Pixel 7 does not report LTE TA on my T-Mobile eSIM, and only reports inconsistently on my AT&T physical SIM.

Another SignalCheck beta update is rolling out now.. NSA 5G-NR band is now displayed on the main screen, network connection type in dual-SIM configurations will be more reliable (on some devices, the secondary SIM would overwrite the "Connected to" display on the main screen), and other minor bugfixes are included.

Pending any new bugs that pop up over the next few days, this version will roll out as a public release at the end of the week..

Still good news on this front?? 🤞

Have not encountered the issue still! It’s hard to prove a negative, but I’m pretty convinced .

Mike, I updated this morning but I'm not seeing anything new in the NSA data. Sent a diagnostics report earlier.

Hmmm interesting.. it's working on my Pixel 7 and A32, you should see something similar to below. I will add some extra logging and get another update out tonight.

Mike,

i sent you a screen shot of my S22 not displaying the band or site note or the neighbor list as

I see on your example.

[mikejeep]

Another SCP beta is rolling out now -- should hopefully resolve the issue with the new NR NSA band display missing on some devices. To clarify, this new field will only appear if the NR frequency is identified (i.e. the app is showing "5G-NR 2500"). If the frequency is not displayed, that means it is not available.. this information is not widely reported on NSA connections yet, although it is becoming more common.

@chamb your S22 was not reporting the information at the time of your report, that is why you are not seeing it.

Looks good to me!

Sent diag for esim echo when psim turned off. *#0011# shows psim as not ready. Of course just removing Sim fixes it (hassle), but leave decision to you. Cellmapper shows both then removes second after a few seconds..

Sent diag for AT&T n77 on esim on s21 ultra. https://imgur.com/a/ItA2r8Y

Can easily replicate in early morning hours if needed.

Verizon n77 works fine on s21 ultra.

[mikejeep]

Back at it with another fresh beta release, containing several bugfixes.. most notably, Wi-Fi information was only updating upon connection and disconnection. Still working on ironing out the last few hiccups on Dual-SIM devices..

[mikejeep]

Another beta release is rolling out now, includes additional improvements to 5G-NR band identification. This version is also rolling out as a public update to all users.

Not sure if its update related or not but I'm unable to login and upload web data on either of my phones (I've never had it log me out since i logged in initially). I've already updated both phones so I can't test if that is the issue or not. Getting this error, diagnostics report sent as well.

Error validated. Just sent data in on prior version of SCP. Updated. Now can not log in.

Hmmm can't replicate it myself, but I know that means it's a compiler issue.. will dig into it shortly. I received your diagnostic @mdob07 but @dkyeager and anyone else if you have a chance this morning please send one after trying to upload also, can't hurt. Thanks!

Same here.  Diagnostics sent.
