Just got the February 1 patch for camera, screen vividness, and security. 677.39MB for my factory unlocked ultra.

I just got the February 1 security update for the S21 Ultra factory unlocked. The S21 is expected to get One UI 6.1 by July to be like the S24 minus the AI features. Android 15 is expected after that.

Service just restored in Columbus Ohio on AT&T network. They seemed to do it in the following order: business (done early) then 5g hours later then ADSL and 4g about 4 hours after business. Then texting and wifi calling that was not setup before.
At one point they were trying to route calls on T-Mobile 2g, but that failed.

Wi-fi 6e missing (6 GHz on one of two ultras). Perhaps coming from an app? Wifi analyzer can see the 6ghz, just can't see them to connect. May try wifi reset, although communications reset could have been the source of this problem. Others have reported it, so not an isolated issue.
Edit: Fixed: Rebooted into safe mode. Wifi 6e worked. Normal boot back. No wifi 6e in available nerworks. Unistalled Asus Router app. Checked for Wifi 6e being visible in wifi available networks. Nothing. Deleted Netgear Genie app. Then saw networks. of mine I had not connected to in wifi available networks. Forgot the desired 2.4&5&6 SSID that did not show 6E. Connected to it again. 6e now works.

Should trade it for some low-band there or elsewhere. AT&T dominates lowband.

8 minutes ago, iansltx said:I checked existing spectrum holdings and selling 5x5 PCS to each of VZW and AT&T in Kauai would get them to 20x20 apiece there, which should make them happy. In Maui it makes more sense to sell 5x5 each of PCS and AWS to get VZW 20x20 AWS and AT&T 15x15 PCS. I figure it would be a sale rather than a swap, as neither of the other two have spectrum T-Mobile would want that's high-frequency enough to avoid the spectrum screen.
Honestly, T-Mobile is strong enough in Hawaii from a capacity perspective that cutting down PCS/AWS holdings won't hurt, particularly in exchange for finally unlocking 2.5 (though in Maui I saw 140 MHz n41 regularly in September if I remember correctly).

Two sims update:
When the primary carrier loses its connection, the last connection continues to be displayed. The time shows the last connect time and the IP address is no longer displayed. The second sim information is also displayed, correctly (without the IP address). Can create at will. S24 Ultra but other models likely. On factory unlocked firmware. Diagnostics sent.

Yeah, I was about to say that's how I get it to work on the S23 also, turn off Auto Blocker.
I actual put blame on my Verizon network esim first delete it, then deleted wrote a new one with t-mobile support, then deleted it. Deleted all esims. Put in a Tello (T-Mobile network sim) and then an AT&T sim and still no luck. Found a comment like yours. And it worked. No problem redoing the Verizon network esim, but T-Mobile always wanted to use sms to my temporarily dead number despite having T-Mobile in Google Authenticator. Found it easiest to trudge down to my T-Mobile store. Sigh.

*#0011# no longer working on my S24 Ultra. I had turned on some AI features and converted a US Mobile (Verizon) Sim into an esim. Deleted esim, turned off AI, rebooted several times in the process. No luck so far in getting *#0011# back. Factory unlocked firmware.
Does it still work for others, especially unlocked? May try deleted and reinstalling T-Mobile esim.
fix: Go to Security and Privacy > Turn off "Auto Blocker" and check.

One more firm's 2.5GHz auction 108 winnings is processed, waiting for any objections. At this rate, it will be a long long time until the FCC is complete (even with setting aside contested applications like T-Mobile).

The S24U is a consistent 1+ gbps down (Everytime I've tested) whereas the S21U sometimes hit that when it would find the 6G network (which was rare). WiFi7 allows simultaneous 2.4/5/6 GHz connection unlike WiFi6 where you had to choose. 2.4/5 or 6.
I have serious WiFi issues in my house (100+ devices connected). I did it to myself, I know, but the TPLink BE85/95 have been awesome performers. Specific IoT, main, and guest networks. Nice to park the phone off the chatter.
I think it takes at least a 5Gbps, if not 10Gbps to run Wi-Fi 7 out of room. This should give headroom at the edges of the house with wired Mesh or multiple APs, and most definitely headroom with 1Gbps ISP. Is that your experience -- great even to the edges in your house?

Anyone else have the Motorola wireless Android Auto dongle? The S24U is really aggressive about connecting to it after the car is long off, eg. car in garage and AA is still trying to connect to the S24U and won't connect to home WiFi. Wasn't the way with the S21U. Perhaps the WiFi is just a better performer? Maybe I have a setting wrong somewhere?
Nice to finally have a WiFi7 device to test out my home WiFi and enable the MLO network. Incredibly fast phone all around. Very impressed.
How much isp bandwidth do you have versus your wifi 7 throughput on your S24 Ultra?

AT&T's all important phone white-list updated last week. If your phone is not on this list you will likely be booted off in 1 to 14 days with regular usage:

Those of you who have the S22 unlocked out of box, what does your CSC show under service provider software version? I flashed mine from TM "locked" to U1 and still shows TMB/TMB,TMB/XAU. Maybe it shows that anytime you have a TM SIM in?
There was a workaround on some devices to get XAA to show by flashing the Canadian unlocked, then US, and I did that, but it still lists TMB as CSC.
I know it really isn't an issue unless I sell the device as truly carrier agnostic unlocked.
I wouldn't have even bothered if I wasnt having more issues with non-Jibe RCS.
S22+ factory unlocked.
With T-Mobile Esim plus verizon network sim: TMB/VZW, TMB/AAA.
Disable Verizon SIM and it shows: TMB/TMB, TMB/XAA.

I've been very busy with other priorities lately, but I'm still keeping an eye on things!
I continue to watch the S24 Ultra SCP interaction with two sims. When n38 or n2 are reported, nothing else changes in the display. Perhaps just a setting to change them to n41 and n25 when the plmn is T-Mobile?

Does anyone have insight as to when Tmobile will start deploying radio equipment with C-band and CBRS support? Hopefully their 200 MHz of C-band spectrum is freed up by now.
Iirc by the end of this year. Mentioned in a quarterly report I think.

Let's add some facts to this: https://www.lightreading.com/5g/5g-spectrum-auction-maps-winners-and-big-spenders-auction-110-of-3-45-3-55ghz
On a percentage basis, AT&T would roughly have a similar dominance with low band.
Hard to justify altering competitive auction results. Much easier in terms of piecemeal spectrum sales by the likes of High Street (US Cellular) and possibly Dish (Boost Mobile) along with many regional carriers that may choose to exit.

So, best I can tell, swapping SIMs (Dish to AT&T) and rebooting with my S24 connected to my laptop (no adb connection or anything) corrupted things badly enough to "unauthorized factory reset" the device.
Fortunately I had a full Samsung cloud backup from Monday morning (right before resetting/boxing up my S23; this screwiness happened last night), an incremental Google backup from Tuesday morning, and a lot of stuff synced to the cloud, so all I lost was on-device Signal messages (so Signal history is now limited to desktop/laptop, which means I'm missing a handful of messages from when I cut over from my S23 to S24, and if I fully unlink then that message history is gone), a little bit of WhatsApp, and some time.
But hoo boy *that* was a fire drill. I would've been extra hosed if I wasn't near home/didn't have a recent full backup this would've been a ton more pain than it ended up being.
Occasional reports of DISH network locking BYOD phones. AT&T still works fine?

AT&T LTE and Network Discussion
in General Topics
Posted
From AT&T on Twitter at 8:27pm yesterday:
"Based on our initial review, we believe the outage was caused by the application & execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network, not a cyber attack. We are continuing our assessment to ensure we keep delivering the service that our customers deserve."
Stand alone 5g is the leading theory, their new security service is another.
At 6pm they had posted their outage work was complete.
