I  have nit seen this beta update yet. Has anyone else gotten it yet?

Strange.  I got it within a half hour after Mike posted here that it was available.

Depends on if you are in the standard Beta group or the Internal Test group. I roll all releases out to both groups simultaneously, but Beta releases get screened/analyzed/reviewed by Google Play first, in the same manner that production releases are. Internal Test releases become available immediately. When they came out with the Internal Test option (which has a limit on number of users), I offered it with the caveat that they're slightly riskier because of the lack of review and let users decide which group to be in.

NP. FYI, No sign of beta yet.  Being in beta instead of alpha is no problem. Perhaps betas only get it once all alphas have been updated.

 

Edit just got beta a few minutes ago.

S24 ultra factory unlocked still switches back and forth from n41 to n38. Sent diags.  Will check other dual sim phones.

 

Other factor. Seems that when my bandwidth is 80 it shows n41 (nr-arfcn 502110), when bandwidth is 100 it shows n38 (nr-arfcm 520110).

N2 versus n25: nr-arfcn remains the same, bandwidth remains the same on s24 ultra factory unlocked. (when watching diag as well as scp)

That is exaclty the same as my two n-41 arfcn's.The only difference I have is that I have a 100 and a 90 bandwidth.

I am in the old Shentel area in Pennsylvania.  I stilll have a S-22.

S21 Ultra factory unlocked with firmware current in January does not vary. Always SA n41. Does do n41 CA plus others.

A32 5g factory unlocked does not vary on n41.  This is older firmware.  Can not lock in SA n25. T-Mobile variant does not have n25.

No, the beta is completely independent of that.. Google Play's review processes are just unpredictable. I don't see any specifics, other than the time I submitted it and the "In Review" status. This release took longer than usual to be approved, but it was not out of the normal range.

New beta is rolling out now with some more adjustments to the NR band correction algorithm as well as some other NR bug fixes.. please let me know if it resolves this issue.

Has anyone had an issues with site notes disappearing since the last beta update?  I'd say at least 9 out of 10 site notes are now blank in the app, both for 5G and 4G sites.  It started with 4.831b.

Yes actually, I was wondering if I had somehow deleted them. But the majority of the sites I'm sure I had notes for are blank now. 

[mikejeep]

That's not good. Please back up your log databases in case an app bug is doing something to erase your existing notes.. with the changes made in that version, I suspect it's more of a search query issue, but it can't hurt to be safe. Strangely I'm not seeing the same issue myself.

Could you send me 1) screenshots of instances where notes are missing, a 2) backups of your log databases? PM or email is fine.

Well... I tried to send an email but Gmail doesn't seem to want to send. Never seen that before, just sitting "queued." It may have sent twice now... Lol.

What do you see with the latest alpha/ beta version?

[CrackedLCD]

Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.

I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP.

Only using one TM SIM.

[dkyeager]

I updated my other s21 ultra factory unlocked to the latest firmware... It behaves like the S24 Ultra n38 or n41 depending on 80 or 100MHz or their nr- arfcn.

[dkyeager]

Has anyone checked Verizon n77 in areas with more than 100MHZ active? This spectrum has been fully available since August of last year.  Of course they are not typically using SA.

Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?

At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.

[dkyeager]

Got the latest update. On my S24 ultra the NR-ARFCN display remains constant (which is inaccurate according to diags) while n41 and 38 toggle back and forth.  I updated then rebooted before testing. Two sims active.

My security patch level updated automatically to April 1 before this update. Diags sent while n38 was displaying.

[dkyeager]

S24 ultra with second sim disabled. Toggles back and forth more slowly between 100mhz and 80mhz with nr-arfcn being reported correctly and band being reported as n41.

[mikejeep]

Ahh then it sounds more like yet another dual-SIM bug! Thank you, that is a big help.. I've been working on trying to figure this out.

I will test it on a s21 ultra on T-Mobile and hopefully on Verizon shortly (not sure it matters with them yet - until SA is readily available).

Another beta is rolling out now with some more adjustments and additional diagnostics. The last two beta releases have taken 48+ hours for approval, hopefully this one clears quicker but that's up to Google Play..

More info... drove out to central Nebraska and back, hit some new sites that I know never had notes on them. Added a note, but as soon as it switched bands or sectors, the note disappeared. It seems the note is tied to that specific band AND sector rather than sharing it across the same GCI/NCI. Hopefully that means the notes that are "missing" are just because I was on the wrong band or sector!
