    Converted to hex, it's 03153C3B, which should be second carrier. - Trip

    Here's an article from WTOP about the inauguration. Sprint is only mentioned in passing. http://wtop.com/inauguration/2017/01/cell-providers-gear-massive-inauguration-crowds/ - Trip

    Nope. I've never managed to get any usable data out of it and the log files are hard to read. I very much prefer SCP. - Trip

    On my way to work this morning, I locked my Verizon phone on Band 2 to see if more PCS has been added leading up to the inauguration. I spotted it in Smithsonian Metro for the first time, but when I exited the station, I saw this: http://imgur.com/O9m1brY I don't know if it's a COW or a new permanent small cell. If the weather holds out one day of next week (I won't be working Mon or Fri), I'll try to wander around and see what I can see. Still no evidence of B41 third carrier. - Trip

    Yeah, really close. I've been watching for a third carrier to appear and so far, nothing. Meanwhile, several AT&T sites near the Mall that I walk by daily now have 700/PCS/AWS/WCS all running (done in the past few weeks), Verizon turned on PCS in the Metro stations recently, and just today I spotted some T-Mobile GCIs I can't identify. No changes with Sprint. - Trip

    I have yet to observe third carrier in the DC market, which I'm pretty sure is an ALU market. Wonder when it will go live. - Trip

    I'm sure they're aware. - Trip

    I forget if it was last year or this year, but the FCC passed a rule requiring localities to approve permitting requests within x number of days of filing unless they can provide a good reason not to (RF safety is not one of the "good reasons" as long as it complies with FCC rules). If no approval is provided, it is deemed granted. As noted elsewhere, that rule could be modified further. - Trip

    *sigh* http://wtop.com/prince-william-county/2016/12/cell-service-antennae-utility-poles-test-prince-william-county/ Mobilitie in the news, again. I sent a note to the reporter asking if he knew how to determine where they're located. Would be nice to go find one of them. - Trip

    I believe that's right, though I'm not an expert on the forward side of things. That said, your pessimism is showing. - Trip

    Stage 4 begins on 12/13. - Trip

    There are tools that help in locating towers, and it seems like you've seen some of them, but they depend on the information you need being in a public database, and even then you'll want to have data from an SCP log or similar to point you in the right direction if there are multiple towers in an area. I poked briefly at the Keller area and found nothing obvious in the public databases. Looking at the AT&T official coverage map, which is normally useless, I'm wondering if there's a tower there at all, and if what you're seeing isn't coming from the tower near Wilbur to the south. - Trip

    I'm pretty sure the System UI Tuner is not available on the LG G5. - Trip

    Stage 3 reverse just ended at $40.3 billion. - Trip

    It was a bad idea. After the update, I lost LTE and once I got it back, I now do not get PCI, TAC, SNR, or most other information aside from GCI and RSRP. I think I'll be rolling back. EDIT: Rolled back successfully. Apparently the N5 never reported the SNR to begin with. In any case, it now correctly shows PCI and TAC again. - Trip

    If time permits, I intend to try it this evening. I'll back up my Nexus 5 and see if I can update it to Nougat and get out EARFCN from the API. - Trip
  18. Trip
    Huh. If I used the Nexus 5 version of Pure Nexus, do you think the API would work? - Trip

    Following up here briefly for those that may care, I ordered an unlocked Moto G4 Play and it's perfect! $130 from Amazon, stuck in a Verizon SIM, and it was painless to unlock the bootloader and then root it so that I could get EARFCN data out of it in SCP. I ordered another one as well while it was on sale. (My LG Leon LTE for MetroPCS/T-Mobile is having GPS problems and I want to replace it.) - Trip
  20. Trip
    Yeah, my big problem is that when it's plugged in, the USB mode selector is at the top notification now instead of the bottom. EDIT: And, of course, it now has made a liar out of me. It was definitely at the top the other day, and now it's at the bottom. SCP was definitely not at the top though. - Trip

    Sorry, I should have followed up and said that it did clear up after a few hours and get back to normal. If it's snappier, I can't really tell. I do agree that I don't like the appearance now and prefer the old look. - Trip

    I think that happened to me at first, and it took a few minutes for it to download and get set up. Why it's not included in the 1.3GB image, I have no idea. - Trip
  23. Trip
    Mike, I just upgraded to Nougat and looking at the diagnostics, it looks like the phone is now providing the EARFCN via the API. As soon as you get that going, I'll have it made! - Trip
  24. Trip
    I decided I couldn't wait anymore and went for it. Upgrade finished successfully, and all seems well in SCP. Looking at the SCP diagnostics, the API now provides EARFCN, but SCP does not appear to use it yet. It does feel a lot laggier than it did before, but I assume it's still doing things in the background. I'll see how it is in a few hours. - Trip

    Don't recall seeing this discussed before; someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I was going to up my shared data plan to 6GB this month (my phone started downloading the Nougat update over Sprint without permission, so I'm already at 600MB this month on day two of the billing cycle...), but when I went to look at it, they've raised the prices significantly on them. I'm paying $70 for 3GB. That price is now $80 with auto-pay, $85 without. To go up to 6GB used to be $85, but is now $100 without auto-pay and $95 with it. Trying to figure out what to do now, because it's obviously designed to make Unlimited more attractive. Doesn't make me a very happy customer, though. - Trip
