Got mine for the 9. Just like the last update, mine is way bigger than the 9+. 518 MB.

Is CA B25-B41 or B26-B41 enabled in any market yet? On my S9 if I dial ##data# these carrier aggregation profiles aren't enabled yet. If I were to enable them will it actually work?

I don't have my MSL so I can't enable them to check. It does say, however, that bands 25 and 41 both have MIMO enabled. Is that new? I am not sure. 

MSL is 000000 for every S8 or S9.

I tried it and it allowed me to edit lte bands.  However, it was only a facade. I disabled band 26 because, quite frankly, it sucks here in Lexington, KY. Bands 41and 25 are much, much better here. But, per SCP pro, band 26 was still active on my device. So it didn't really do what I set out to do.

When you disable them, you have to reboot for it to take effect.

Also unlocked GS9 owners should know the latest security patch got released today and it enabled FM radio on our devices. Comes in at 351MB on my phone.
I was beginning to wonder if we were ever going to see another one.

The hell? downloading now. This makes what 3 updates in 4 weeks? not that I am complaining but why no many updates in such a short period of time.

I do wish that these updates were a titch more verbose in what was changed. I know most folks don't care, but us nerds do. 

Yeah I do agree, tired of just security updates which I know just isn't true.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
