    I just pre-ordered the Pixel 7 at Best Buy.. it's $599 for 128GB unlocked.

    They're giving a $100 BB gift card as incentive.

    They're offering some sort of trade-in bonus that bumps up my Pixel 6 to $480.

    Not bad to upgrade for $19 and be able to pick up on release date!

    Wow!  Wish it was always like that to upgrade to latest device.  Tell us how you like it once you get it.

    I'm split between this and the new Moto RAZR 3 (if it ever releases here).  My LG V60 is now over 2 years old.  Never had a daily driver so long. But I keep it because it's easy to natively change bands. LG dialer codes to the modem are the best. So sad to see them go.

    Anybody else noticed that when your phone connects to SA N41, if it's available in your area, it completely loses signal for a bit then connects?

    I have that issue.  But with my LG V60, after it connects, it then shuts down Mobile Data throughput.  Like it won't finish authentication.  Like the T-Mobile network won't allow me to use n41 SA.  And I cannot connect to n2/n25 at all, even though it is on my band selection list.

    Very interesting—I see the data in my DB, but the map is rejecting it.

    The map doesn’t display signals worse than -118, so some of the missing data makes sense, but it looks like there are some stronger data points that are missing as well. I’ll have to investigate what’s going on there…

    Good!  I'm glad I'm not crazy.  This isn't the first time I've suspected it.  But it's one of the most egregious. It was such a deliberate drive and I was watching SCP very closely.  Thanks for looking into it.

    Are any SCP users heading to the Pacific Beach area any time soon? We don’t have much SCP data on site 351408/351409 (especially along 109 and Moclips highway) and I’m trying to decide whether or not to make a trip out there!

    I went back and mapped it after work Thursday night.  I drove up the 101 through Neilton and a few miles past Amanda Park, then down the Moclips Highway, up WA-109 to Taholah, down to Seabrook (and out the back of the development), over to Copalis Crossing, up Kirkpatrick Road to Humptulips and down to Hoquiam out to the Airport Peninsula to pick up the new site near Grays Harbor City.

    In my travels, I solidly got a signal from the site west of Amanda Park and the new Pacific Beach site along Moclips Hwy, in the town of Moclips and along Kirkpatrick Road.  I also got the new Grays Harbor City site on the WA-109 Bypass around Hoquiam solidly.  But none of those coverages are showing on the map.  But other coverages from the journey has appeared.  It's really weird.  The signal was definitely strong enough to map.  I re-uploaded by adjusting the timestamp, just in case.  Not appearing.

    This happened the first time I mapped the Pacific Beach site too.  It like immediately half mapped my coverage, but then a few days later the rest appeared on the map.  All without the Last Seen date changing.  Not sure why that occurred.  Hopefully it does show up.

    I could not get north of Pacific Beach.  I had my elderly parents with me and they were complaining that they needed to get back after we left Roosevelt Beach.  So my loop only was 109 north from Ocean Shores and back to Hoquiam along Ocean Beach Road.  However, my wife is out of town Friday night.  I may go back if I do not have any schedule conflicts with my kids.

    But I did discover 350518/350519 is now live.  The Sprint Retain site near Grays Harbor City between Hoquiam and Ocean Shores.

    I am in Ocean Shores on Monday.  I want to make a loop out of it and swing up to Pacific Beach.  I am not certain if I will be able to or not, yet.

    Any updates on this? 

    Yeah, I went up to Kitsap on Friday. Was able to connect to several n41 sites as SA only in Port Orchard, Bremerton and Silverdale.  However, I could not get any throughput.  It would say Mobile Data Suspended.  n41 NSA would throughput just fine. Was pushing 500-800 Mbps.

    I don't know if it was the network at the time or my device causing the failure for data throughput. It was the exact same result on every site I connected to.  I'm on a normal Tmo Postpaid SIM.  Nothing unusual.  LG V60.

    I have not been able to connect to SA n41 here in Mason or Thurston County.  I was thinking maybe it wasn't on here yet. But I drove up to Tacoma yesterday and couldn't connect to n41 SA there either. 

    It may be my LG V60.  I put it in NR SA Only mode and select n41 band only.  It won't connect.  It will connect to n71 SA all day long.  I wonder if I should just leave the band on auto?  I will try that today. 

    It will connect to NSA n41 no problem through B2 or B66 LTE.  Even selecting n41 only band.  But never stand alone on anything.

    But I suppose it's possible the whole South Sound is just not n41 SA live yet.

    SCP doesn’t appear to work with Dish service. Dish SIMs contain two virtual SIMs - SIM 1 camps on AT&T and SIM 2 connects to Dish NR when available. 

    SCP knows the phone is connected to NR (it shows connected to NR in the top right corner), but the app only displays AT&T LTE information. 

    Screenshots:

    I send a diagnostic report - any ideas Mike?

    Hopefully we can get SCP configured to map Dish.  That sure is a pretty complex setup.

    On another note, I found a treasure trove of City of Everett archives online and added every missing Tmo site to the database from there, as well as update any missing Site numbers/names.  I have added or updated probably a 1,500 sites in the 2 months as i scour data sources as I have free time or insomnia.

    The rooftop Sprint Keep site at the 85th/405 interchange in Kirkland has been upgraded but isn't live. That makes 6 towers so far which have been upgraded over the past few months but aren't live. 

    At this point, there are only a handful Sprint Keep sites left that haven't been upgraded yet. Specifically, Carillon Point (permit issued), the other Sprint Keep site at the 85th/405 interchange in Kirkland (permitted), the Hollywood Hills tower in Woodinville/unincorp King County, and the mini macro tower in Kenmore.

    They have been coming on live quickly in the South Sound when completed.  I wonder what the delay is up that way?  Maybe RF integration?

    Hopefully T-Mobile keeps the *#2263# menu enabled. Honestly I use that more than the band selector app since the app used to be fairly glitchy. 

    I assumed it closed down both avenues, so that's good to know that the dialer code way still works.
