    Good morning,

    I've just tried the update on my main phone and gotten a null pointer exception when I try to log in.  Not really sure what else to do, but here's relevant screenshots.

    And I checked and it does it regardless of whether the password is right or wrong. 

    EDIT:  I also tried removing the spaces from the device name (just "S21FE") and that didn't fix it.  Interestingly, I'm looking at the website and I do see multiple "sessions" in my list there.  So it looks like it may be logging in on the web site but then either failing to understand the acknowledgement on the app side since the next time I try it says I'm not logged in.

    I was going there to try to remove the non-alphanumeric characters from my password, as I know Cell Mapper has a problem with those, but can't figure out how to do it through the website.

    Okay, I wasn't sure if you knew any more than I did.  I have a pair of Moto One 5G Ace phones and I can band lock LTE but not NR, which is frustrating since NR SA with Tello works on them but not on my NR-lockable A32 I bought specifically so I could band lock NR.

    18 months after T-Mobile equipment was installed, my home site has gone live with all bands and good backhaul (1.1Gbps at 2500 feet), thus I can easily do testing of 5g.

    Moto G Stylus 5g (2021) 

    Only 5g NR is displayed as section header,yet the neighbors show n41.  Using latest beta.  diags sent.

    T-Mobile Revvl V+ 5g

    SCP works fine with latest beta.

    One Plus Nord N200 5g

    Only 5g NR is displayed as section header, no 5g neighbors. LTE bandwidth display.  No CA displayed. LTE neighbors work fine.  Speedtests at about 500/20.  Cellmapper also reports unknown - NR NSA.  Latest firmware.  On Boost Mobile using T-Mobile.  No difference with different APNs.

    Off-topic question, but do any of these support NR band locking?

    I can't get past the waiting for DIAG step. I've got the Samsung drivers installed and i did the setting in the *#0808# menu. Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

    Do you have USB Debugging enabled?

    On Saturday, I went down to Fredericksburg for the day.  While previously I only saw n41 SA immeidately around Newington, I now had it from home all the way to the Prince William/Stafford County line on I-95.  I assume it's now widespread through must of at least the Virginia side of the DC area.

    In my wife's case its because she's still on a Sprint SIM card on the A32 5G, and they're pushing to change over to the Tm-Mo card hot and heavy...but we're also in former Shentel land so unless/until I hear feedback from her of pointed issues that warrant it (I've told her to monitor and let me know), I'm not switching it over yet.

    As an FYI, the S21FE devices I got from T-Mobile back in June have the T-Mobile SIM and they connect to Sprint sites just fine, even those without 312250.  If I open the service menu, I can see that despite what SCP tells me, I'm actually on 311490.

    Naturally, past performance is not an indicator of future results, etc.

    And I've been watching new gear fly into place in the parts of the Shentel region I'm most frequently in.  It shouldn't be too terribly long before connecting to Shentel sites isn't really an issue.

    EDIT:  And I'd consider taking a few T-Mo SIMs off your hands if you wanted to drop them in the mail.  Can't hurt to have on hand for my phone collection...

    Another weekend, another trip down toward Farmville. T-Mobile has been BUSY.  These sites are now converted and operating:

    Burkeville
    Hooper Park (just south of the Burkeville tower)
    Raines Tavern
    A site in Cumberland county that I can't positively identify; possibly Ashby.
    Arvonia
    Radiant

    These sites aren't running T-Mobile bands yet, and either have new equipment observed awaiting activation, or lost B26 and thus are presumed to have new gear in place awaiting activation:

    Keysville
    Amelia East
    Sheppards
    Dixie

    Still waiting for more work to be done in Farmville proper as there are still three keep sites that haven't been touched, plus one T-Mobile site that still needs AWS and B41 added.

    Additionally, B66 is still tripping my phones up on some sites.  Some just won't connect, but a select few actually kick my B66-locked phone off in such a way that it then refuses to connect at all to any site for some time afterward.  My hypothesis is that I have to switch to a new TAC before it will reconnect, but I've not proven that.  Not really sure what's going on.

    Well, I saw a good deal on a factory unlocked A32 5G on eBay and was able to convince the seller to show me the software info screen--and it was May.  So I jumped on it.

    Stuck one of my Tello SIMs in it, and while my Moto One 5G Ace would connect to n71 SA, this phone refuses to do so.  And with only 0 for the TA value, it's less useful for LTE than my older devices. 

    Oh, and the *#2263# menu doesn't work properly for NR.  So definitely glad I'm able to disable updates.

    T-Mobile gear continues to fly into place at a rapid clip.  Over the weekend, I saw that these sites that are now fully upgraded since the last time I went by, including B41 (all in Virginia):

    Jeffersonton
    Amissville
    Merrimac
    Stanardsville
    Quinque
    Charlottesville Downtown
    Lancer Park (Farmville)
    Keysville Bypass (!)
    Orange Water Tower (yes, in addition to the existing T-Mobile site.  B12/71 antennas are present but not yet operating)

    Plus, Gear Mountain was now converted and running all bands except B41.  And none of this includes sites I've spotted with new gear that has yet to be turned on. 

    I was by many of these sites a month ago.  I was by some of them two weeks ago.  Crazy how fast this seems to be happening.

    Some of them have a weird issue where AWS spectrum is clearly running, but none of my phones will connect to it, including my S21FE on T-Mobile post-paid.  I somehow convinced my S21FE to briefly connect to AWS at Lancer Park once, but was less successful at the newly-converted Culpeper West site I passed a few weeks ago and tried again today.  Same problem I noted at Red House in my 8/27 post.

    Update on Sprint network integration and decommissioning: https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/t-mobile-ceo-boasts-progress-sprint-integration

    I don't see how it can wrap up this quarter (which I assume ends in two weeks) when there are still heaps of keep sites floating around right now that have yet to be touched, especially but not entirely in the Shentel region.

    In Virginia, I noted that US Cellular won only three licenses, two of which are in Charlotte and Prince Edward Counties, which are directly relevant to me.  US Cellular is easily the most dominant carrier in Charlotte, but is limited to a single 850 MHz CLR block and a 5x5 AWS-3 block.  I think they've recently won some spectrum in C-band or 3.45 GHz, but I'm not sure how useful that will turn out to be given how rural it is.  Winning C1 here should help with their capacity issues a lot.

    T-Mobile got C2 and C3, so hopefully that means they'll be coming back and deploying B41 sooner rather than later.

    Hey Mike,

    I’ve noticed a location bug several times recently—it seems like the location reported by SCP lags my actual location by several minutes.

    The outcome is something similar to the “stuck location” bug we used to have. Do you have any idea why this might be happening? @S4GRU and @Trip have see  this recently as well, I believe. 

    Yep.  Closing and reopening SCP resolves it, but it's annoying because you can't tell it's going to happen until you're moving, and then you have to ditch any data prior to that point because it's not accurate.

    Here's the bug report on the tracker:  https://github.com/bluelinepc/signalcheck/issues/16
