So I received the Note 20 Ultra today, Haven't left my house today. There is 5g in my area. 

5G icon with all bars shows up on my phone but I have no connection. 
On the Speedtest app it can't find a server. 
So I been using wifi instead. 

Have you tried doing a PRL and Profile update?

Speed test?

Nah. I can't connect to n41 with the LG V60. I'll try to get back out with my wife's phone.

Downtown St. Louis. There is a Sprint M-MIMO setup literally across the street

All I ask is that my LG V60 be given access to the T-Mobile 5G network

It should already have access to it. All current Sprint 5G phones should use the TMO 5G and LTE networks first, then the Sprint networks, then roaming.

Should but it doesn't. You have the Fake 5G icon but not true 5G. NR is turned off on the phone. Even when I enable it turns itself right back off. My wife's Samsung A71 5G has it.

I sure hope not.  The T-Mobile network is not ready for it.

One thing I hope T-Mobile has or will add is DAS at areas of large gatherings, sports venues, expo centers, etc. Sprint has B41 inside the KFC Yum Center but every time I was in there it would be completely unusable. Sprint did not have any kind of DAS inside Rupp Arena or Bridgestone arena when I was in those earlier this year. In both of those my Sprint phone was completely unusable while AT&T and Verizon were fine on the DAS. I switched my Sprint line to T-Mobile after the pandemic had started so I haven't been out to any games or large events yet to compare how T-Mobile performs. 

Same thing here at the Enterprise Center. Sprint DAS was completely unusable. I spent one game arguing with Sprint VIA twitter that the shit wasn't working

Is the STL market a Nokia or Ericsson market for T-Mobile?

Don't quote me but I think both. M-MIMO are Nokia but other antennas are Ericsson I believe.

me either... the Sprint ones out here were easy to find, could pick them out quick, with those attached RRUs... now.. pfft they all blend in

Here in STL some T-Mobile ones can be tricky to spot and then some Sprint towers that were Clear only they added B25 to them which if you don't know the area you would think it was T-Mobile tower.

stlman314: Inbox you ??

Why?   Is it a secret?    Tell us please.   

No secret. Didn't know if it would violate any rules in the forum. The one in the picture is On Goodfellow Blvd just north of W. Florissant by the railroad tracks. There is another one on the westside of I-270 at Manchester near Flushing Meadows dr.

Where in STL? Are those the 2.5 panels?

Inbox you 

Found this in St. Louis yesterday

Do you think they plan to unlock all the bands on the LG V60? Currently can't connect to n71 in STL but my wife's Samsung A71 5G can connect to it. 

Does anybody know why the LG V60 doesn't have NR enabled? 

I have my MSL Code and it still won't stay enabled. Reverts backs.

I usually bought my past Sprint phones through BestBuy since they had better sales deals.

Same here but they aren't selling the LG V60. Sucks. What's even worse is my V60 doesn't have NR On so not getting everything.

The phone would be for a Sprint line. 😄

Do you not want to order it through them?

Only place I seen was in Sprint Store or online. 

Does anyone know if the Samsung A71 5G will work on T-Mobile 5G? Says 5G SA/NSA.

I'm probably going to go with the S20+. I want a 1440p screen and mmWave 5G. I can deal with the bloat if it means better software updates and access to Live Caption. Maybe even the S20 I may consider losing mmWave.  

Last Samsung I had was the S3. My wife has the S8 still but haven't upgraded her yet. Not even sure if I should wait or just get her a new phone non 5G

For me it's the loss of the true third rear camera, and frankly I'm tired of LG's poor handling of monthly updates and upgrades. As much as I've liked my V40 and V50, it's not enough anymore.

 

Yea the V50 I feel was better than my previous LG phones for updates. However my market turned off 5G for me since we weren't officially launched. I don't want the S20 due to Samsung bloatware. The One Plus 8 is in the same boat with V60's resolution. So I'll just hold my phone till I feel there is a nice replacement

The V60 is coming in the next week or so.

I personally don't want the V60 anymore. The screen resolution isn't as good as the V50.

Same here but that doesn't matter at this point.

Right. Didn't realize they were going to be moving that fast. Since my market wasn't officially 5G they turned it off for my phone and icon removed which the icon wasn't bad. I hated the icon anyway (Kind of like that Spark icon we use to have).

On T-Mobile's there is no VoLTE icon because it's turned on by default. T-Mobile must be making this change on all compatible devices regardless of network. On my S20 Ultra, there isn't even an option to turn VoLTE on or off on T-Mobile. The only way I can use 3G or 2G for calls is by turning off LTE altogether.

Right but I'm Sprint branded. This happened with the last day or so.

T-Mobile or LG removed the VoLTE icon off of the V50. I actually thought it wasn't working so tested today and it's good. Anybody else have the icon removed?

No significant difference in service.

Jim,

Let me know if you do this and how it works. My situation is similar except I have a V50 and don't want to go to S20. Debating doing the same thing.

If that was so, It wouldn't be on my V50 right now. Also getting bands 4, 12, 66 on my V50 from T-Mobile.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Once they're done with your market, it won't get 5G anymore. They haven't done KC yet either, but they will.

So I need to visit the KC market to come get some of that sweetness again lol 😭
