    what sort of speeds (actual numbers) are we talking here?
  2. swintec
    i was on that as well until i tried to update yesterday and it got replaced with the one being talked about now.

    I had to disable the 1x icon completely because it wouldnt stop alerting. that worked for about a week or so and then the other day when i got up signal check was constantly notifying me of something, i just dont know what. i was just connected to band 71. i dont really know what else i can disable because at that point i lose the icons atthe top left of the screen. will send you a report now since it happens any time i launch signal check and stops once i exit it.

    anyone have issues with signal check constantly giving an audible notification? Started out of the blue this morning and the only way to stop it is exit out of SC for good.

    I cant figure out what is going on with SC and the S20. Back when i first got the device, i had to disable 1x connection from showing completely because SC would just keep giving an alert over and over every time it connected to 1x. I could not find any alert setting that handled this. Okay no big deal just leave it disabled i guess. I get up this morning and un-silence the phone and it just keeps beeping and beeping and come to find out its signal check, all out of the blue. I dont know what it is notifying me about because 1x is disabled from showing. To stop it i had to exit out of SC completely and leave it closed. Any idea what it up? FWIW, i have no alerts configured for SC and regardless of that, even if i did why would it just start happening out of the blue over and over.

    One thing i just noticed today on my S20. It shows the 5G icon but if data is otherwise unused / idle...NR is missing from the service menu screens. Once I start passing traffic it will populate. maybe that is the issue for you?
  7. swintec
    yes from sprint. i had no native Sprint 5G around me prior to this so once they sent out the update last week it was like a switch was flipped. im sure there was plenty of others around the country who had the same experience.
  8. swintec
    im not really sure as tmo seems to be playing fast and loose with how they do 5G (or reflect it on device). i have the 5G icon showing right now but it always seems to show now even if i am just connected to band 2 (with no NR). if i go down the street NR will show. those of us who got the initial S20 update had the Sprint | SPRINT display so unless they changed something, that is how a lot of us knew we got the update.
  9. swintec
    it was the case for the group of us last week in the initial run.
  10. swintec
    Btw, that means you got the tmo update for 5G.
  11. swintec
    If the merger failed, where would that have put TMO going forward? Absolutely no viable way forward for 5G and beyond? Hope to the spectrum gods that further spectrum would be opened up for sale?
  12. swintec
    you know, i wasnt even going to mention it because i thought it was a fluke but i have the same thing happening to me. left to a 5G area this afternoon (none at home since the update last night) and since i got home the device has been showing 5G now unless it is on band 71 (it will just show LTE in that case). i was not necessarily expecting 5G coverage at home since the coverage maps has me in this weird area where 5G is everywhere else except the middle of town. Maybe once the phone finally gets a taste of 5G (and uses the icon) everything is essentially 5G. Seems Tmo likes to play fast and loose.
  13. swintec
    Didnt we sort of know tmo 5G was not anything to write home about? I remember that being a big thing about the merger. Without sprint, tmo was not going to be able to provide a decent 5G service as time went on. They just were not in a good position spectrum wise.

    Finally got the update on my S20+ tonight in Maine. Tmobile across the board now, and i now have LTE in my house WITH VoLTE. No 5G though, yet. Either way, these are things sprint just couldnt make happen after all these years and tmobile changed it in a matter of a few seconds. Goodnight sweet prince. Its been real.
  15. swintec
    so what should i be looking for in SC and the service menus to know if i am really on tmobile 5G? today was my first day out and about with my S20 that i got yesterday and Sprints 5G popped on for awhile which i had no idea was around here.
  16. swintec
    can you check your sprint plan add-ons to see if you have the code added to your account to enable this and if so, what does it show / what is it called?
  17. swintec
    What problems are you having with the S20? This will be a $8 per month lease for the S20+ (possibly free if I can get them to honor what the order confirmations say). I still have my essential phone so anything is an upgrade from that at this point. i wanted the one plus 8 but it does not seem like it can be activated.
  18. swintec
    thanks. i was looking at the band priorities in the data menus and B71 and B66 are not even in the list (there are a total of 18 though). B2 is there though, does B2 take care of those two other bands? I was going to try and move B71 to the top but could not since it was missing.
  19. swintec
    I thought the S20s already have 5G? I literally just took mine out of the box and am playing with it trying to decide if I should keep it or wait a few more months. I successfully connected to TMO Band 71...that is not 5G?
  20. swintec
    Do you live in a USCC market? They are very good where they service. Here in northern new england they cover much of the state in places that others only wished they did (and just roam on USCC instead). I cant really speak for their other markets though but I like to think they do just as good of a job. The merger, at least for Maine really did not do much (yet). At the end of the day, it was two poor coverage carriers getting together where their coverage was almost the same across the state anyways. I will give tmobile the benefit of the doubt and believe them when they say they will expand in the coming years but USCC is king here.

    will try the update today. can you share the problem that you found for android 10 stale data?
  22. swintec
    not sure, they just would not activate it for him and the IMEI shows not supported on the BYOD page.
  23. swintec
    a guy on reddit got his one plus 8 today and was unable to activate so far on sprint. i guess the sprint device BS continues. *sigh*

    One Plus 7 Pro 5G

    swintec replied to nexgencpu's topic in Misc.

    i would but im not even sure if it will be able to be activated on sprint.
  25. swintec
    Yes, given the merger i would expect tmobile would do the announcing at this point. i would like to order it tomorrow when it goes live but i can see that will not happen given this uncertainty.
