Reinstalled, ran, and just send another. Thanks!

Logs now showing provider as displayed, at least for Sprint B41 MM, Sprint B26, Sprint B252 10x10.

SCP is now blowing up on my Photon 4G (wimax) smartphone (previously worked without beta). Likely not worth effort to debug. I just use it for CDMA logs (which is all it is capable of). You might want to raise OS level rather than support devices this old. Sent report.

Added several hundred site sectors to logs on three phones yesterday, so no volume problems visible. The refinement of the provider in the logs has been removed. I do not use it in my log analysis, but those reading their logs likely do. It previously broke out Sprint B25, Sprint B252, Sprint B26, Sprint B41, Sprint B412,Sprint B413. Also Clearwire iirc. Now it just says Sprint.

Airave not reported on CDMA side. Airaves have a unique NID of 500 to 502. The BID sometimes get reported as a network site, but that requires local diligence to detect.

From a GCI standpoint the Triband antennas do produce a forth carrier, but from an EARFCN standpoint they are the second or third carrier. We do have a Samsung site that seems to be producing four EARFCNs, but getting the GCI has so far been elusive. Hopefully will know in a few days. Then we will know if it follows the pattern or skips over the Triband Antenna GCI sectors. Knowing that the antenna is Triband is still quite useful.

We do also have B25 10x10 sites using GCI sectors 00, 01, 02 (for a total of 10x10 at that site), but identification of those needs to wait for EARFCN identification. Only the 06, 07, 08 GCI sectors can be tied to 10x10 and also second carrier. (You already have a long list of features for this release. Assuming you will continue working on EARFCN non-rooted, I would wait until that version to show B25 10x10 (not second carrier) so others can benefit from this release sooner.) Flompholph has a much better grip on B25 second carrier than I in the Nokia and former nTelos areas. I do not believe we have analyzed that in detail. There are reports of 15x15 in Sprint Nokia land, but that might share the same EARFCN as 5x5, so individual market knowledge would likely be needed.

Airave 3.0 is identified correctly on LTE side.

In Samsung markets Band 25 GCI sectors 03, 04, 05 are second carrier ( 5x5 ). 06, 07, 08 are second carrier 10x10 ( for clarity, where this occurs, there is also band 25 5x5, ie a site has 5x5 + 10x10 ) Mini Macros deserve a glossary explanation: MM - Maded by Nokia, Mini Macros are used in at Network Vision and Clear sites with traditional Band 41 antennas for each sector. They are also used individually as small cells in the most populous areas (NYC, San Francisco). They have second carrier and carrier aggregation. SC - The Airspan Air Harmonys have only been seen at small cells so far. They are second carrier capable, but this has not been observed. Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk

Good beta update. Mini Macros displays correctly (I would add the two characters to Mini Macs for clarity or shorten to MM as we do). B25 2nd Carrier 10x10 is displays as LTE 1900, with Sprint B25 10x10 as description, so it has the band now (PCIs 06, 07, 08). Known to exist in Columbus Cincinnati, Toledo markets. Seen but not analyzed in central Illinois. Would be nice to display as 2nd Carrier as well. Magic Box is fine. Air Harmony Small Cell shows as LTE 2500 with description of Sprint B41 SC, which is fine. B25 10x10 sites shows as LTE 1900 with provider as Sprint B25 (needs EARFCN identification to go futher). Does not show as update on Photon 4G (which is correct as Android version is too old). Rest are fine for Sprint / Freedompop on LG V20 and LG G2. Will test Sprint LG G4 & G5 later along with duration and log tests (I always have it running). With this update people will be surprised as to how many Mini Macros Sprint installed throughout the country (based on SCP log analysis). Edited 11:41am day of post.

It took about 25% of battery to do update. No Calling Plus. Immediately after I was force fed a google services instant app likely to enable spying on your conversations (included in recent google app updates which I had refused.) Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

New update:

In the last root metric report, Sprint was ranked #2 in Columbus, and 3rd carrier aggregation was implemented in the middle of their testing period. Since then there is more B26, a lot of b25 sites have 5mhz more up and down, and 9 small cells. Now the completion does not stand still. The others have been doing tower work during that period. Columbus is one of the best wireless markets in the county, so it is no easy task to be #2. http://www.rootmetrics.com/en-US/rootscore/map/metro/columbus-oh/2017/1H

Time to add " - ends 6/2/2017" or "- ends soon!" to the title. Added it to Columbus threads for more exposure.

Status update for Columbus Market for this year: 3G Only sites are now an endangered species - only 5 remain out of 405 (excluding 9 Shentel sites and Band 41 LTE 2600 only sites). Almost all sites Band 26 LTE 800 equipment now have it activated (penetrates buildings). The number of sites with Band 25 LTE 10x10 and LTE 5x5 plus second carrier 10x10 has dramatically increased. One additional small city has Band 41 LTE 2600 for extra capacity, dramatically expanded for another small city. A few more Band 41 LTE 2600 sites have been added in Columbus. We now have 9 confirmed active small cells with number 10 small cell waiting to be turned on. Magic boxes are being tested in our market (think of them as micro small cells).

Actually I would love to comment on this, but this needs to be in another thread. Save this for Sprint in Montana. With any merger, the companies involved need to operate in their usual fashion. Sprint paid good money for its options in Montana. They seem to have more money now. Perhaps their plans will be revisited.

No changed in license status since February 2017 addition of Link Budget Supplement attachments.

I think they had a shill strategy designed to boost the cost of Sprint to Softbank and thus raise the value of their spectrum holdings. This likely cost Sprint many billions of additional dollars for Capex. I think they would have backed out.

Signal fine outside your home, but weak inside? Try one of these free: http://newsroom.sprint.com/blogs/sprint-perspectives/the-worlds-first-all-wireless-small-cell--sprint-magic-box.htm We believe it also applies to work locations.

Shentel is in charge of sites in its area. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

At least on my V20, the band priorities screen is totally blank even with the MSL code (but not rooted)
