  1. The March Play System Update that PythonFan referred to in the S24 thread is also out for S22
  2. On a related note, I did some diving the through the FCC documents for the AEHC. I couldn't find any that indicated they validated it for NR100+NR90 (just NR100+NR50+LTE20+LTE20). This makes me think we will only see the NR100+NR90 channels in Ericsson markets.
  3. Yes, the posts were for a 100MHz+80MHz+10MHz split. Here is one:
  4. Scattered reports over on Reddit that TMO has started deploying a third 10MHz n41 channel in select markets (bringing the BW up to 190MHz). Keep an eye out for it.
  5. February google play system update is out.
  6. The Bridle Trails tower is live, I was with the wife so I couldn't go driving down 134th to test the signal.
  7. Not sure if this is similar for anyone else but since they expanded the second n41 carrier, if I bandlock to n41 SA only then my phone will often camp on the second carrier. This makes it possible to map for the first time.
  8. The second n41 block in the metro Seattle area was expanded from 40MHz to 80MHz giving a total n41 bandwidth of 180MHz.
  9. WTB instructed to process all 2.5GHz licenses across the USA. They are only giving up some spectrum in certain markets of Hawaii.
  10. Wow that's great news! Summary for others: FCC approves grant of TMOs 2.5GHz licenses with the requirement they divest the spectrum they volunteered to give up in parts of Hawaii and AT&Ts complaint is denied.
  11. Ahh congrats! Verizon loves their small cells in Kirkland, lots of them everywhere. So I am not surprised at that.
  12. Seems like Verizon is giving it the love you requested. They submitted a permit in October to Colo on the CC monopole. My guess is they take the slot the old Sprint/Clearwire slot that T-Mo doesn't need/want. https://permitsearch.mybuildingpermit.com/PermitDetails/WIR23-00739/Kirkland If you mean the site in Puyallup, it like T-Mo has submitted an application to upgrade the fiber backhaul to that site. This is a common reason for them to not take a site live even after upgrade/conversion (see the Cedar Park site I mention in this thread). In this case, it looks like the permit to upgrade the backhaul expires at the beginning of April, so the site will likely go live in the next 2-6 months (depending on how long it takes them to do their testing). https://permits.puyallupwa.gov/Portal/Permit/StatusReference?referenceNumber=PRFUP20231663
  13. Holy crap, I just assumed Verizon was on the CC monopole. Those might be some of the oldest equipment in the area.
  14. Oh yeah, last weekend they had finally started the upgrades on eNB 84743 a block away (the former Clearwire site). First time in the area that either AT&T or Verizon had upgraded a tower first before T-Mobile. Hopefully those upgrades will improve the performance down 132nd. I'll test it and let you know when the upgrade goes live.
  15. Interesting, T-Mobile is demolishing a Sprint B25-only site that even Sprint wasn't using anymore. Sprint moved from that pole to a former Clearwire site on a nearby much taller mast but never demolished this original site. Up through 2021, there was still power to this site. Some time during COVID, the lights on the RRUs were no longer lit. https://permitsearch.mybuildingpermit.com/PermitDetails/ENR24-01067/Kirkland Streetview
  16. Instructions here: https://tmo.report/2024/02/a-weird-glitch-is-letting-some-t-mobile-customers-network-unlock-their-samsung-phones-early/ If it doesn't work at first, don't give up. I kept tapping back and forth between temporary and permanent unlock and suddenly got the notification that my device is unlocked.
  17. January Play Store update is available. Clocks in at around 70MB
  18. Any chance you have VoNR turned on? maybe there is something up with your towers.
  19. Went down by the waterfront in downtown Seattle (by the Ferris wheel) and discovered there are a number of new LTE/NR small cells built into the lamp poles. It looks like either T-Mobile or Verizon have built into almost every single lamp pole in the area. The Verizon ones are easier to spot due to the cutout for the mmwave antennas whereas the T-Mobile ones are more solid up top. The T-Mobile small cells appear to have at least B2 and n41, but likely have B66 and maybe n25 as well. Unfortunately, neither StreetView or the satellite view on Google Maps incorporate the layout for the area (including the new lamp poles) making them extremely difficult to pin at this moment.
  20. I haven't had any issues recently. That being said, I have only sit 4-5 texts in the past two weeks.
  21. Thanks for the heads up. Mine also had a two 2.1MB updates in queue after that one that didn't change the month version.
  22. Has anyone gotten a recent Play System Update? Mine has been stuck on October. Wonder if Samsung screwed something up again.
  23. Wow. didn't expect them to be released that close together.
