On all the conversions here in Omaha, they have kept the B25 RRU and are still broadcasting B25 on Sprint PLMNs through the T-Mobile equipment even now.

We have seen the keep PLMN on co-located sites here in Omaha, NE where we suspect they are going to take over the Sprint level. Permits have been issued that suggest as much but we haven't actually seen it happen yet.

Follow up on this, did you have SignalCheck / Cellmapper running at this time? The Sprint sites along I-80 are providing coverage for T-Mobile customers, but most have not actually been converted to actual T-Mobile signals, so the coverage is just provided through partner/sharing PLMNs that allows your phone to connect. We know that T-Mobile has permits to convert the sites in Kearney, but as far as I am aware, this has not happened yet.

It's true *this* thread hasn't been very active, but we have had a ton of activity deeper in the forum. We've been tracking upgrades, new deployments, and conversions all across the Nebraska and Iowa markets.

Yep those are B/n41 antennas!

Yeah I was wondering... same price I'm already paying. I guess the unlimited photos is a nice benefit, but unless something changes it's not a huge benefit.

Aside from a couple of stragglers, when they update sites here in Omaha they put everything on it. We're thinking that maybe supply chain issues might have had an impact on the couple of sites that got B71 antennas but no RRU.

I get the same on my S21 Ultra. It got a little better after re-installing, but it slowly came back and now I get it a couple times a day.

If it came with a SIM, the system is probably already prepared for you to use that one.

Looking at those photos, n41 was only CA'd with n71, so while there are 120Mhz of n41 on air it would appear, the extra 20Mhz is not being used together with the rest of the n41 yet.

Looking at the actual specs for the cameras, it's a mixed bag. The "regular" camera got an upgrade, while the telephoto went back to 10MP. (listed below) There are some upgrades. More 5G bands plus 5G CA. Better processor so hopefully better battery life, even though the battery capacity is the same. I believe the fingerprint reader got an upgrade if you use that. So did face unlock. And obviously a newer version of Android. It should be noted that in the S21 lineup, they switched things up a little, the S21 was more like the S20FE, the S21+ was more like the S20, and the Ultra was a little more similar to the S20+, though still slightly more souped-up. So your better comparison may actually be from S20+ to S22 Ultra, as painful as the price points may be. S20+ Camears 1) 12MP Ultra Wide Camera Pixel size: 1.4μm FOV: 120˚ F.No (aperture): F2.2 2) 12MP Wide-angle Camera Super Speed Dual Pixel AF, OIS Pixel size: 1.8μm FOV: 79˚ F.No (aperture): F1.8 1/1.76" image sensor size 3) 64MP Telephoto Camera Pixel size: 0.8μm FOV: 76˚ F.No (aperture): F2.0 4) DepthVision Camera S22+ Cameras 1) 12MP Ultra Wide Camera Pixel size: 1.4μm FOV: 120˚ F.No (aperture): F2.2 1/2.55" image sensor size 2) 50MP Wide-angle Camera Dual Pixel AF, OIS Pixel size: 1.0μm (12MP 2.0μm) FOV: 85˚ F.No (aperture): F1.8 1/1.56" image sensor size 3) 10MP Telephoto Camera Pixel size: 1.0μm FOV: 36˚ F.No (aperture): F2.4 1/3.94" image sensor size

IF you upgrade every year. Last few years I haven't seen big enough improvements between iterations to feel the need to upgrade every year. Looking at the S22, even the ultra, not seeing enough yet to justify upgrading my S21 Ultra. So the additional software support is welcomed.

The January updated enabled the "UC" indicator on my S21 Ultra without having a T-Mobile SIM. I'm still on Sprint SIM (for various reasons). Was interesting to see that active today.

I haven't actually seen my phone use B41 though, it just idles on it. As soon as I start an active data session, it switches back to n41 + B2/66. It's almost like the network is offloading idle phones onto B41.

I've noticed my phone is idling on B41 a lot now as well. Mostly when I'm on WiFi. If I go off of WiFi, it'll default back to B2/66+n41. No CA, just idling on a single B41 channel. If I actually start to use data, it'll bump over to n41+B2/66.

Most everything aside from rural highway coverage most likely for n41.

It typically takes a few weeks to a month or two for recent updates to make their way to the coverage map.

Even when it said "fast" wireless charging, it seemed pretty slow anyway so not sure it really changed.

Is it just a messaging issue or is it really not doing "fast" wireless charging?

@Rickie546 has seen similar behavior in central Missouri, we weren't quite sure what was happening. This would explain it, sounds exactly like what was happening as he was moving onto non-keep Sprint towers without needing to force roaming.

B2 is the LTE anchor band, not 5G. It's the anchor for n71 or n41.

I haven't noticed any of this, S21 Ultra. Downloaded and installed the update yesterday.

Anything I can send that might help? I'm trying to send reports when I can but I'm not sure if it's actually capturing whatever is causing the crash since most of the time I don't get a crash notice.

I don't think there's anything market related that could cause that. I'm not running any Samsung beta software, just the normal updates.

I cannot run SCP for any length of time on my S21 anymore. I can start it, put it in the background, and within a minute or two it's just gone. No crash message or anything. I have not taken the step to uninstall and reinstall yet. But I may do that soon to see if that clears anything up.
