Yes the replacement works well.
-
My MB was recently replaced due to a defective touchscreen. The previous MB had received the recent firmware update but the replacement is still on the previous version. It’s been over a week. Is Sprint still pushing updates or do I need to call support? I’m in Chicagoland. Tnx, J
-
The MB went back to B41 which it very much prefers even though speeds are poorer. My touchscreen no longer accepts input so I’m replacing the MB with a similar model.

AirUnity 544 Magic Box No longer responds to my finger. The display is on and displays the time but if I tap the screen it goes to the 3 boxes and from that point it totally ignores any finger taps. Up to this point it was working albeit poorly due to being in a poor signal area. I unplugged/reboooted twice but to no avail. Is there anything else I can try to revive the screen touchability? Else I'll call MB support. Thanks, J

AU544 here and no WiFi menu after firmware update.

15.15.50.514 60.7.46.0

I have a XS Max. Using a location where I got 150/15 Mbs previously I do not see much if any improvement. Not that 150/15 is anything to sneeze at.
-
My current MB performance is very poor. Will the new one improve this? If yes I would like to swap it out if possible. It's currently on Band 25 but occasionally I'll see it on Band 41 with an RSRP of -119 and CINR or 3.0 or less. The Download/Upload speeds are about the same on 41 as on 25 fwiw. See Attached.

The more I think about it with either restriction, namely only one CDMA per phone or both carriers must be the same on a locked phone, you won't be able to have two Sprint or two Verizon lines regardless of the phone's locked status. Thinking out loud will VOLTE help in this situation? eg. If/when Sprint supports VOLTE will the the CDMA rules become mute?
-
If phone is locked both sims need to be on the same carrier. This seems to preclude two Sprint or two Verizon lines on the same phone.
-
Only one SIM can be CDMA so currently if you are on Sprint with the first SIM the second SIM can't be Verizon it seems. See the "What you need" paragraph here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209044

Will Magic Boxes support VoLTE on Day 1 if they are in the VoLTE rollout area or will that be a separate thing?
-
Amazing how my MB will use ANY B41 signal over a B25. I’m in a very marginal B41 area CINR as low as -120 perhaps lower. Once it latched on to a -100 B25 signal but only for a short time when it switched back to the much poorer B41 signal. I got my MB in January and noticed the B41 signal getting progressively worse beginning in March. My guess is the foliage is blocking the signal. Hopefully it can still find a useable signal when the trees are full.

Does the MB retain it's optimization across power outages (planned or unplanned). If yes, are the settings stored in non-volatile memory or is there a battery backed storage with a time limit before the settings are lost?
-
5G Magic Boxes? Buried in the article https://ubm.io/2jZd3Ch is a mention of a future 5G Magic Box. Would this be a new physical box or just a firmware update? With the 100 of thousands of existing MBs is seems costly to replace them.
-
Works very nice for me using call continuity. It’s not volte but better than 1x. I start the call in WiFi and after it connects I drop WiFi and the call transfers to the MB with barely a hiccup. J
-
Thanks. Hopefully a new firmware does in fact fix it. J

Physical Cell ID affinity. I've mapped the PCI's for macro cells in my area and my MB connects to the closest one after a reboot or reset. This seems logical. For some unknown (to me at least) reason last week when I checked the MB and it was connected to different donor which is almost 50% further that the one it had been connected to. I figured the donor was down or maintenance was being performed except my cell phones still connected to the closer one when outside of the range of the MB. The performance of the MB was abysmal while connected to the further donor. I waited several days to see when it would switch back but it didn't. I eventually manually restarted the MB (not reset) and it reconnected to the closer donor cell. I wonder why it would not switch back by itself. It's as if the donor cell needs to be down before the MB will look for a better one. This doesn't make sense. Any explanations? J
-
If I've been disconnected from the MB with my iPhone or iPad for a while (hours) and I reconnect and run a single SpeedTest I initially see speeds in the range of 4down/3up. If i then immediately run a second and subsequent SpeedTest I consistently see speeds in the 15-30down/5up range. If I then disconnect for a period of time and reconnect the pattern repeats. I think the MB is typically not heavily loaded as I rarely see more than one connection which is me. It's as if the MB is maintaining a minimal connection to the host cell when idle and then adds capacity if the load increases. Does this make sense?
-
I've had a MB for about a month now. On two occasions that I've noticed the MB has a SERVICE connection but the LTE is disconnected. Eventually the LTE becomes connected again but what sort of thing(s) would cause LTE to drop if SERVICE is connected with typical signal levels and quality. I haven't restarted the MB for over a week. J

What is the difference between “Restart” and “Power Off”. If you don’t actually remove power “Power Off” eventually results in a “Restart”. Thanks, J
-
Nothing has changed here. What is a bit weird is occasionally I’ll see 30 mb/s but 99% of the time it’s 5ish mb/s.
-
Similar experience here. Good speeds immediately after a reset then slowdown. Was not like this with previous firmware.
-
The ID has never been other than 105. The Frequency has changed depending on the direction the MB is oriented. The Frequency has not changed since I last reset the MB.
-
RSRP 111->114 CINR 1.0->5.0 Here is a snapshot of what they are at the moment. Prior to 440a the values were similar. It's the speeds that have degraded. It's been 2 days since the last reset. Thanks, J
