    I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only. That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time. Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

    When I looked yesterday, I had 100+50, but B41 LTE was gone. Today, B41 LTE is still gone, but now 100+90. - Trip

    I had locked my phone on n41 to make sure it would show me the two n41 carriers. I assume it also aggregates with n25 when unlocked. - Trip

    Looks like they finally killed B41 LTE here in favor of wider n41. https://imgur.com/a/EUa8v4V - Trip

    Here are the 10 rows I have of B26 with T-Mobile PLMN. (Plus one row of B5.) https://i.imgur.com/lupKbiK.png I left B18 active on one of my phones by mistake and I guess B26 is running MFBI for B18, as I have two detected that way. - Trip

    They're running it on selected sites as protection sites to keep the licenses alive. I've found a handful of them floating around. - Trip

    What's particularly interesting is that I spot-checked one of the Hawaiian islands where T-Mobile will have to divest and it looks like if they were to sell two PCS blocks to AT&T, they could swap such that AT&T ends up with 20x20 contiguous and T-Mobile ends up with 25x25 contiguous in PCS. - Trip
  8. Trip
    Yeah, it basically directs the bureau to proceed with granting the applications in the normal course. It's no longer being held by the AT&T objection. - Trip

    I'm waiting for that to happen here. In most of the rest of Virginia (outside the DC market), B41 LTE is long gone. Of course, relatively nearby here is a Sprint power line site flagged 312250 serving a shopping center that is still running B2/26/41 LTE, so maybe it's not the only one and they're leaving it running on purpose for sites like that one. - Trip

    I guess it was the network. With no intervention on my part, it's back today like nothing ever happened. - Trip

    So, not sure if it's just me or what. My Boost Mobile phone with Rainbow SIM suddenly won't connect to the Dish 5G-NR. I checked and I can force it onto T-Mobile or AT&T LTE (which are flagged as roaming), but it just sits on No Connection if I disable LTE. I went out today and passed at least half a dozen Dish sites, so it's not site-specific. I can't figure out if it's the network is down in this area, or if there's something wrong with my account. - Trip

    The latest from the FCC on the T-Mobile 2.5 GHz licenses: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-24-101A1.pdf Looks like the FCC is seeking to incorporate additional documents into the decision because of the objection from AT&T. (Disclaimer: I work at the FCC, but I don't work on wireless industry issues, so I know no more than anyone else here.) - Trip

    I didn't use a case for my day-to-day phone for a really long time because I was very careful with my phones, until I was in Lowes one day, putting my S5 back in my pocket and somehow missed my pocket. Phone went straight to the concrete floor, landed on its corner, and ended up with a crack in the screen. Still perfectly usable, but had a crack. When I eventually got my G5, it got a basic clear rubber case to at least prevent that much. Been using those ever since. My "data collection" phones don't have cases, but they also go straight from the phone charging stand to the car and back. (Although last year one of those managed to fall out of the car a distance of less than 2 feet and ended up with a completely shattered screen. Naturally, it wasn't one of the ones I wanted to replace in the near future.) - Trip

    T-Mobile still has a lot of work to do in the rural areas. I've been told some of the specific places I've asked about are supposed to get sites later this year, but even those will be islands of service surrounded by "no service." There are definitely rural areas where they can do well (see the Shentel region, where they inherited the best network in the area), but a number of their more organic rural builds aren't as impressive as the other carriers as of yet. - Trip

    Sounds like T-Mobile mentioned US Cellular in passing. https://seekingalpha.com/news/4059219-us-cellular-telephone-and-data-gain-as-t-mobile-us-says-looking-at-sales-process Given that T-Mobile is a known quantity as far as keeping sites and whatnot, that's my preference on a buyer, but we admittedly don't know what other carriers would do. - Trip

    I imagine the required metrics were set based on the spectrum holdings at the time of the merger, and not what was then a speculative future auction. - Trip
  18. Trip
    I would be very surprised if Biden doesn't sign it. He's not the one who allowed the auction authority to lapse in the first place. It may not be. But I'd guess they were working on it before the authority lapsed, so they're probably at least part of the way there. - Trip

    Given that the objection from AT&T is still hanging out there so far as I know, and that there may be other problems with other applicants, I'm not sure they'd want to put "shall" which could result in legal problems if various i's are not dotted and t's not crossed. I would be very surprised if the licenses are not moved along as promptly as is feasible. - Trip

    https://www.wtaj.com/news/national-news/5g-sale-act-bill-on-its-way-to-president-bidens-desk/ I assume Biden will sign it. So hopefully licenses can be issued sooner than later. - Trip

    Okay. I just pulled the Location permission with the app running, and I think it may have closed and immediately reopened. But I got a notification telling me that "Permission required" while the app itself just said "Waiting for update.." with a spinning circle. Once I tapped on the "Permission required" notification, it popped up asking for location permission which I then granted. - Trip
  22. Trip
    So I revoked the permissions before doing the update on my S21FE (Android 12) and when I reopened, it asked me for the permissions, which I granted. No crashes, all went smoothly. Is that what you wanted? If so, I can repeat on a few of my other post-10 devices. If not, let me know what to do differently. - Trip

    It's correct on the map. - Trip

    Mike, Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Edge 2022 phone also needs this fix on the 5G-NR side. It's a lot less common, but see this screenshot from this morning. Wasn't able to get diagnostics as I was rolling down the road at the time. Happened twice, both times were inconvenient. First time I've seen it happen on 5G-NR. https://imgur.com/a/on4d34o All the other values are valid, so the "skip logging" option seems like the right one for the 5G-NR side as well. - Trip
