    I have yet to have an HD Voice call on my Galaxy S5, though Saturday on my fiancee's Moto X, her sister with a Galaxy S5 called and there was an HD Voice call between them. First time I'd heard it. Hope I eventually start having them. - Trip

    Even if the timeline doesn't slip any more, I wouldn't expect 600 MHz to become available until 2020. Suppose auction applications are accepted in January 2016. If the auction itself is completed by June 2016, there's still a 39-month build-out period for the TV side of things, which means the spectrum isn't actually available for construction until September 2019. And that assumes, of course, that enough broadcasters jump in to make the auction work at all, and leaves aside the possibility of any other delays. I do agree with Conan Kudo that the 850 MHz band should be worked on. Currently, there are two cellular licenses in that band, each having 12.5 MHz, but those licenses are not contiguous, which means some of the spectrum will probably be wasted. If the band was to be tweaked into 5 MHz block pairs once the 2G/3G sunset arrives, giving each incumbent two of the five, you could auction the fifth block pair. Similarly, the 700 MHz band uses 6 MHz block pairs when 5 MHz would be more appropriate. There is enough wasted space there that if you shifted everyone slightly, you could extract at least one more 5 MHz block pair out of the band. - Trip

    The only debt I carry is on my house, because in the DC area, rent is as high as a mortgage payment anyway, so I might as well be paying for something useful instead of throwing money away. - Trip

    Just noticed this. Why not store the database on a non-root part of the phone's storage? Does Android require it? I would be fine with editing the database on my computer if I could get to it. - Trip

    No worries, I understand why you want to keep it small. But you know what they say, if you don't ask, you can't get a positive answer. I know it will be worth the wait, I'm just champing at the bit to get it! Any chance of screenshots showing new functionality maybe? - Trip

    How long does a version typically stay in beta before public release? More to the point, assuming no major issues, when will us non-tester folks get a hold of it? - Trip

    I'd love to try out the beta here in the DC/Northern Virginia area and let you know how B41 ID works. - Trip

    If you search by zip code for 20554 (where I work), does it show you black or color? I'm trying to figure out how two different browsers at home and at work (Internet Explorer is refusing to load the page at all) can all show me black at the default zoom level but nobody else sees it. - Trip

    All I see in my area is black in both Chrome and Firefox, and it's amazingly slow and failing to load pieces. Anyone else having these problems? - Trip

    I had been using ##33284# to get that engineering data, but I just found *#0011# and took a new set here at work. On this one, it looks like the TAC gets cut off--two characters worth. - Trip

    Danial, I also noticed that, at least here in the DC area, the TAC numbers are in a different range for Band 41 versus Band 25/26. I attempted to attach my log from SignalCheck Pro but CSV is not a permitted file type here. But even in the pictures you can see the Band 26 one has a 4-digit TAC as opposed to the three Band 41 ones with the 5-digit TAC. - Trip

    I saw this message before I left for work this morning and here's what I see at three places on my way into work, and finally, at work. Not sure if this is helpful. - Trip
