iOS 12.1 will allow more roaming.

You have mentioned this is multiple posts, but you are the only person I have seen saying it.  I hope you are correct.  *crossing fingers*

If you feel like living on the wild side 12.1 is in open Beta (I believe beta 4) you can apply at this link....

I don't believe that iOS 12.1 is all it takes, that is part of what is needed for phones other than the iPhone Xs and Xs Max. Those two model don't have iOS 12.1 and they can roam, if they have been updated.

iPhone Xs and Xs Max have 12.1. I’m running it currently on my Xs Max. It was only the first couple days that 12.1 beta 1 was out that there wasn’t an IPSW for the new phones.

I just purchased the IPhone X’s max today. So far this is a solid device. The screen is beautiful, it’s the same physical size as the 7/8 plus, and the LTE connectivity is the best I’ve had in a phone. While the LTE connectivity is great their is times where the connection would just drop out completely. This mostly happens when going from 3G to LTE in fringe areas. BTW, I haven’t updated the phone to 12.0.1 yet. So maybe when I update the signal drops will go away. So as of now I’m very satisfied with this device.

I got my iPhone XS on October 5 and my battery health is already at 99% is this something I should be concerned about or no?


I always thought that the battery health was inaccurate. My wife has a 7+ (which was a former device of mine) and I had an 8+. Her battery health was at 94% for an older device with more use. She also let the battery drain to the point it would shut down. The 8+ battery health was at 88%. It was a newer less used device.

I personally try not to look at the battery health as much as I can.

Seems like the modem version was updated on the 12.1 update. Anyone notice any difference? Also got a carrier update right after the update finish. Went from version 33 to 34.1.


I haven’t installed the update yet. I usually wait. My biggest concern is the new radio. I’m loving the performance of 33 on my XS MAX. Don’t want to decrease the radio performance.

So far in my house next to a xs on the older radio it seems to be on band 41 in a place in my house where the older radio is on band 25. This is a very initial comparison so I’m not saying it’s better or worse yet just my first observation.

Where is the IMS status located in field test mode?

IMS status is located in the NAS sub-section of LTE section on the XS Max, and presumably the XS & XR.

and of coarse I let my Developer Account lapse......My guess is the Carrier Bundle is the important issue this is the VoLTE bundle I hope 34.5.5.

 

 

PM me. I can give you the developer beta profile.

My belief is that Sprint will give T-mobile native roaming priority to the people running or capable of running VoLTE as to back fill the holes we all know that Sprint has in its OEM towers as VoLTE is sensitive to LTE gaps.

Cool, works on my Xr! Thanks. Showing “0” in a non-VoLTE market. Makes sense. ?

Edit: Think this thread should be renamed for XS/Xr?

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
    • Lots of time if you can get close to the pole, you will see a sticky label on the box that is low enough to read. Most of the time it warns of RF exposure but also it may have a toll free number to call if there is an issue. Sometimes there is a power company meter with the name of the user. I would be surprised if there was nothing there to help identify it.  Thinking further, if this is multi-Tenant oDAS, then maybe you might only see some name like Crown Castle or maybe even a department in the city government.   An app on your phone may show the carrier(s)
    • I found a multi-carrier oDAS node at the corner of Bushwick Ave & Cedar St. You can see an upgraded Verizon macro deployment behind the node, and T-Mobile has a fully upgraded site only a block away. So, the only thing that makes sense is that this is an AT&T node with LTE+mmWave (or maybe C-Band).
    • I tried going into a Boost Mobile store and they wouldn't sell me a rainbow SIM card, said that it would be dead as soon as I put it in the Moto Edge 2023... which I know is bs... 
    • They didn't do all 2.5 with the Sprint merger, so I'm not sure why they would do that for USCC in areas arguably more rural. But I'm 100% sure they'll swap out the gear. - Trip
