    I realize this won't be an issue for a while considering travel is difficult.. but I noticed a post on Reddit mentioned that switching to the TME removes any possibility currently for international data passes. I'm sure at some point that will be fixed, but note that doing this will change your international options. Thankfully free international speeds on TM are twice that of Sprint, however Sprint's data pass offering has been better. https://www.t-mobile.com/customers/data-pass

    Supposedly the T-Mobile Network Experience is available nationwide now at stores. Anyone jumping primary networks?

    Wow, that's really disappointing. At least the no roam map hasn't changed (for now). If you click on a spot, you can see the bands and signal strength. N41 has never been showing on here however. https://maps.t-mobile.com/pcc.html?map=mvno-noroam-34l

    That is neat.. though it shows they have a long way to go in some places.

    I saw something interesting on here. https://www.sprint.com/en/support/solutions/device/t-mobile-network-experience.html You will not see any changes to your Sprint bill unless you add new lines, finance or lease a new device, or make other purchases. So while TM has committed to 3 years of keeping rate plans the same, there's a loophole for them. Might be a problem if you want to change anything. Technically it doesn't say your plan will then change but.. Of course changes will come if you add a line or finance. So beware!

    Try setting your network mode from Automatic to LTE/CDMA. This even fixed my S10, non 5G issues I commented on earlier in the thread. Discussion there.

    I'm sure part of the problem is TM feels they already had a superior network and didn't have to worry that Sprint may have been better in areas. Sprint was better in more areas than we think.

    My data reliability has gone to crap in the Milwaukee over the last few days. I haven't noticed any difference as far as lack of B41 availability, but a number of times I have been without data. I've done a number of profile updates and even full programming reset.

    https://community.sprint.com/t5/Device-Solutions/Samsung-Galaxy-S10e-S10-and-S10-Branded-applications-not/ta-p/1083537 Apparently Sprint is now following the TM way of updates.. they go out in batches and even manually updating will not get it to you.

    I wonder what kind of network/Wi-Fi calling switch over is happening at the end of Oct. Maybe TM will be primary first network?

    Some users have noticed a single channel of B41 for LTE in Nokia markets on a fully upgraded tower. Doesn't sound widespread. They can also do it with tech called DSS. But all TM has said it is buggy and impacts performance too much. They have more than enough spectrum though... They haven't given any updates on DSS since Feb.

    I see TM doing some frequency swaps around the country. Are these needed before they can merge B2 and B25? Otherwise what is the hold up?
  14. jreuschl
    I'm assuming some of those people complaining about B41 loss have the S20 or another current 5G phone, because then the T-Mobile network becomes primary and you will lose B41. Not defending it. I know how frustrating it is, and I've echoed the all eggs into 5G concern before, too. Sounds like it is happening to non-5G phone users too:

    What, T-Mobile wouldn't want to carry on the tradition of different SIM SKUs for different phones?
  16. jreuschl
    Glad to see there is some LTE staying around. Apparently in Nokia markets the equipment can do dual LTE/5G but not Ericsson?
  17. jreuschl
    There's quite a bit of B71 only in Northern WI, but it seems based on the TM MVNO map where you can see what LTE bands are available in a spot, B71 deployment has definitely stalled. Madison and Milwaukee are not good markets for TM, I know largely because spectrum availability is so low. Sprint isn't great in WI, but TM is even worse, especially rural. I hope they have a commitment to make it better. The map I'm taking about: https://maps.t-mobile.com/pcc.html?map=mvno-noroam-34l I hope TM is also committed to combining their B2 and Sprint B25 ASAP.

    I've done a few profile updates over the last few weeks and I'm still on Sprint, at least in the Milwaukee area. I'm concerned about what service I will get with my S10 because while Sprint isn't great here, T-Mobile is even worse (Milwaukee is probably the most spectrum starved TM market), and B71 is only deployed in a few areas. They seem to be putting their eggs all in the 5G basket, not caring about keeping any of B41 for LTE. DSS can allow this, but all they've said it is buggy.
  19. jreuschl
    Is T-Mobile making all of B71 5G also or can that be used for LTE?
  20. jreuschl
    The "layer cake" is all about 5G though it seems. No LTE improvements?

    New update this morning.. though it keeps the same April security level. Maybe modem update? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    A few on Reddit said their S20s auto profile updated and are now seeing TM 5G. Sounds like it isn't an all at one time rollout.
  23. jreuschl
    No you don't, then it isn't supported on that model. I'm not sure what phones are supported by that app. I can use it unrooted on my S10. Sorry!
  24. jreuschl
    The S8 Active did support B71 on T-Mobile. You could download this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection And see if it is listed under Band Selection. Since that was the only S8 to add support for it, I suppose there's a chance there was a different chip revision depending on who it was shipped to. TM and Sprint had the same base model.

    This is sure tempting.. I live in a subpar Sprint and TM network (WI) an I'm wondering if it is better to hold off for the next gen 5G phones and see how the network gets integrated here. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
