  1. Now that you mention this, I do think I uninstalled and reinstalled and wiped too. It's been so long. Robert
  2. I had this issue when I purchased a Moto Z2 Force. I uploaded my log file immediately after activating and installing SCP from my previous phone. Drove me nuts. What I finally did to solve the problem...I had to disable the logger, reboot, re-enable the logger, reboot and then it worked. Robert
  3. The whole site is now a T-Mobile section since the merger. Robert
  4. I'm not sure to what extent it is safe. However, I see this condition with rooftop sites all the time. I stayed in a hotel standing on the balcony, look at the wall above me and there were antennas and radios right above my head. The lowest hanging cable from the RRH I could have reached standing on the patio chair and reaching on my tippy toes. There was another that was wall mounted on the side wall of my room. That if my hand was on the wall, the antennas and radios would have been 6 inches away on the other side. Also, in Santa Fe, New Mexico in the Eldorado Community, there is an array on a hilltop where the antennas are ground mounted. The area is owned by the HOA, it's natural area where residents hike, jog and walk their dogs. Although it's not directly on a path, you can see them and walk right up to the antenna panels. Only the Base Station Cabinets are in a fenced area. The panels and their stands just sit on the ground waiting for someone to come visit them. They could easily be vandalized. But unquestionably unsafe in my mind. Robert
  5. Alright. There may not be a Sprint anymore, but the same rules apply. Just incessant complaining about the old Sprint is getting old. People will start checking out because it just will become a complaint board. Constructive criticism only, please. Robert
  6. I sent you two today when I was down in Longview, Washington. Gee that town smells FUN-KAY. Imagine burning dense wet cardboard. And you cannot get away from the smell...anywhere. Except to leave. Robert
  7. The latest update is working well for me on my LG V60 finding 5G-NR sites. Love the update. I also love the Dual Screen feature where I can run SCP in one screen and the Engineering Screen in the other. Then cell mapper in the background. I wish I had a phone like this years ago! My only issue so far with the new Beta is that I had to disable the 5G lost/found chimes. I don't know if it's the nature of the V60 or the T-Mobile 5G network, or just my local tower, but it so frequently goes in and out of 5G-NR at idle, even with a strong -70dBm signal, that the chimes were going off about 4-5 times per minute. I was going bonkers. Unfortunately, when I disable them, I also lose the large 5G icon on the status bar. I'd like to be able to have that indicator without having to tie it to the found/lost sounds. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the progress. GREAT JOB! Robert
  8. All it took was money. Network Vision was planned properly initially, but not properly implemented due to finances. I remember hearing early into the Network Vision deployment the CFO says publicly something to the effect of, 'The beauty of the Network Vision deployment plan is that we can ramp up or slow down as necessary depending on finances or need.' It was scary to hear then, and even scarier to think of in retrospect. They were confessing that they were always concerned about how to financially pull it off that the had contingency plans of how to "half-ass" it if necessary. And they did half-ass it, and it likely was necessary. But they did. And then once you get used to losing, you forget how to win. We finally got to the point that no amount of money would fix the problem anyway. Network wise, Tmo merging with Sprint will likely be a very superior position than both going alone. The big tell in time, is what it will do to competition and pricing for the long term. That's the part we don't know. Will it be worth it 5 years from now? Who knows? But at least we will enjoy the network improvements in the interim. But even that is not totally all everyone dreamed it would be in the short term. I guess nothing is perfect, but we always imagine it will be. Robert
