  1. The Shentel market 10x10 2nd carrier is NOT showing as 10x10 in areas where it's active. 2nd carrier is showing as "normal" 5x5 in SCP. I'm sure it's a work in progress.

     

    I was just in the Philly (or possibly Central PA) market and the 10x10 notation was accurate there. I was near the border between them on I-78 when I noticed it and checked it to be accurate. I just can't remember for sure what market I was in at the time.

  2. Anyone live in/near or frequent the Lititz area? We were there yesterday for the 200th anniversary 4th of July celebration at Lititz Springs Park; all day long, both mine and my wife's phone would end up shunted to B41 over 25/26 - which under proper circumstances I'd have preferred, but for whatever reason the B41 carrier there was completely non responsive. Actual signal was fine, but absolutely no throughput at all. If I had a nickel for every time I cycled airplane mode to temporarily connect back to B25/26 yesterday I'd be rich.

    My brother-in-law lives there but uses Verizon. Always remember when you're at a large event to try to switch to CDMA if LTE is unusable. It's usually sailing along at 2-3 mbps since hardly anyone uses it anymore.

  3. Wouldn't LTE calling require a FCC repass?

    It's in the beta stages currently, so I don't know if it would or not. That's a good question though. I'm sure someone on here knows the answer.

  4. Still in beta. I’m sure the implementation will be more complete by the time iOS 11 officially launches.

    I'm sure you're correct, I'm just curious why they did the initial testing this way. I would think it would be pretty rare for users to ever leave wifi while connected to wifi calling. It's going to be a small test group to test calling plus.

  5. Same as far as I can see.

     

    Thoughts on if/how Triband (B41 4th carrier) should be listed?

    I'm in ALU territory in the Shentel market. The 5x5 and 10x10 second carriers are the same. Both end in 09, 0A, 0B.

  7. In Orlando, Kissimmee Lake Buena Vista FL area. Someone reported it month ago and, I was just there on vacation and, posted pics of it.d29e064ef0a9f4b78b0605f90ca40282.jpg

    Nice. I hadn't read about that yet. I get in the 30s on upload on 10x10, so I'm sure it could do even better at times.

  8. I agree download is more important. The current uploads don't help their rootmetrics scores and, some people's (small amount) opinion of them. I got a 30 mbp upload on the B25 15x15 in Florida. :)

    Where does Sprint have 15x15?

  9. Just read through all the comments. In your honest opinions, is this a really good tablet? I'd use it more for browsing, watching movies/videos, maybe some gaming. Does this tablet have the smart view/screen mirroring feature on it?

    It's decent. You may want to consider getting it on ebay and activate it on the unlimited tablet plan so you don't have a 24 month commitment on it. Then you can replace it anytime you want when something nicer comes along. I bought one new for about $100 last October.

     

    Personally, I'm on the lookout for a new or newish Tab S2 if I can find one for a decent price.

  10. Does the S7 have a different implementation of WiFi calling vs. older devices? I know on my Note 4 my phone radio was off when connected, the S7 still shows network signal.

    I was going to ask the same question the other day and forgot. I'm wondering the same. My previous phones did not stay connected to cellular when connected to wifi calling.
