    Also, I somehow hopped on N41-SA yesterday but SignalCheck logged it as n7. This resulted in the uploaded data being assigned to n7 as well.

    Interesting add! Now if they would just enable the other bands the phone is capable of as well.

    It is pretty easy to use, once you get the hang of it. For example, to select a specific LTE Band(s) Click on [7] --Clear selected bands Click on [5] LTE Band Preferences Click on the specific band(s) you want to enable. Click on [F] Go Main Click on [9] --Apply band configuration The same holds for NR5G, just you would click on [5] NR5G Band preferences instead of [5] LTE Band Preferences To re-enable all bands: Click on [8] --Select all bands Click on [9] --Apply band configuration

    This is correct, it appears that Samsung is disabling the menu that the app served as a shortcut to. It looks like on TMo models, *#2263# still works for band selection though.

    Hey Mike, a couple other things you might be able to post for S22Ultra owners, In particular, these deal with the *#0011# menu. The following are true for even the June update: 1. Does not show the second n41 carrier (when it is connected) on LTE+NSA. It shows "NR_NumCC:2" but no additional Carrier. It simply states "CA-Not Config 0 0"This works fine on the S21. 2. There is a line that states "Code Review Required" 3. There is a line that states "Unknown 0"

    So annoying, they also didn't add n258 either which they have been slowly rolling out. Also, they didn't fix the issue where the *#0011# menu doesn't show the second n41 carrier. At this point, it seems like the S21U is their chosen phone and they are intent on ignoring the S22.

    I honestly have no clue, maybe someone like Ravirani could offer some insight. The only thing I can think of is that they are waiting on additional sites to come online so that they can optimize all of the sites at once. The sites are: Cedar Park Christian School - Updated over a year ago, still not live. Tower between Maltby and Woodinville - Updated a month ago (or so) Tower behind Safeway at intersection of Avondale and Woondinville-Duvall - Updated over a month ago The tower on top of the Motel 6 in Totem Lake - Updated about a month ago at this point. Tower at intersection of Bellevue Way and NE 24th St. in Bellevue - Updated at least a month ago The aforementioned tower at the 85th/405 intersection.

    The rooftop Sprint Keep site at the 85th/405 interchange in Kirkland has been upgraded but isn't live. That makes 6 towers so far which have been upgraded over the past few months but aren't live. At this point, there are only a handful Sprint Keep sites left that haven't been upgraded yet. Specifically, Carillon Point (permit issued), the other Sprint Keep site at the 85th/405 interchange in Kirkland (permitted), the Hollywood Hills tower in Woodinville/unincorp King County, and the mini macro tower in Kenmore.

    I saw there are already two June updates released on some phones. Last month there were two May updates and TMo waited and rolled them all into one.

    Based on what my local ISP has posted, fiber is nice in that you don't have to dig it up and replace it. You just pair it up with equipment on each end. They mentioned that because they have fiber which was laid in the early 80s carrying 100s of Gb/s of data today.

    Can confirm, it is live in Snohomish County as well.

    Can confirm, my phone shows NR_CC_Active:2 while speed testing in NSA mode. It doesn't show the actual carrier because it hasn't received that update yet.
  13. PedroDaGr8
    Confirm the TA=0 occurs on the S22 Ultra as well. My guess is it impacts the whole S22 lineup.

    This falls in line with some of their recent moves in the more rural parts of WA state. Highways and state roads which were previously dead zones are now starting to get coverage and not just token coverage like Sprint used to do. Now if they could just cover St. Helen's in the same way.

    The second May security update is out for TMobile models.
  16. PedroDaGr8
    The main n41 channel was just moved up to 2639MHz this morning. This means that channel spans from 2589MHz-2689MHz. With Sprint B41 at 2501.5MHz, and TMobile B41 spanning 2508MHz-2548MHz. That leaves room for a 40MHz n41 channel. If they drop one of the TMobile B41 channels, they could easily expand that to 60MHz. This all in line with their permit filings which indicate a second n41 carrier of <=80MHz.
  17. PedroDaGr8
    Sprint B41 has been moved down to 2501MHz. This leaves 2650-2694 free for a second n41 channel.

    T-Mobile wasn't on the tower behind Target, they were on the power pylon nearby. I've seen a number of conversions but not one where T-Mobile was already on the same tower. That being said, I drove by there this morning going to the Costco Business Center and neither appeared to be live yet.
  19. PedroDaGr8
    I forgot to add, T-Mobile was already on that Sprint Keep Tower but on a lower rack. Sure enough, all of the new T-Mobile equipment is on the top rack (where Sprint used to be). This is the first conversion I have seen in the area where the Keep PLMN was used to denote T-Mobile was taking over Sprint's rack. I'm sure that has been very common in other areas.

    Actually, I take back what I just said about conversions being slow. Apparently it has been Woodinville/Maltby upgrade month. Driving around today during lunch break, I discovered: The Maltby tower (eNB 84578) has been upgraded to the full suite of bands (2/12/41/66/71) Workers were busy converting the Sprint Conversion Tower (89059) just west of the Maltby tower. It appeared it was also getting the full suite of bands but wasn't live yet. The tower at the intersection of Avondale/Woodinville-Duvall, behind the Safeway, (84788) had been upgraded with the full suite of bands but wasn't live yet. The tower over by Cottage Lake (84696) had been upgraded from 12/66 to all bands except 41. This is one of the few towers I have encountered which were upgraded and DIDN'T get B41.

    And speaketh of the devil, the Totem Lake Motel 6 site install was done today. It wasn't there this morning when I looked and this afternoon it is all installed.
  22. PedroDaGr8
    The tower across WA-522 from the Woodinville Costco just got upgraded with a B41/n41 panel. I was surprised it took that long for that site to be updated. It's a relatively dense pocket within a rural area.
  23. PedroDaGr8
    Damn 1.75Gbps on TMobile! B66(20MHz)+n41(100Mhz)+n41(40MHz)+B2(15MHz). That dual carrier n41 is really showing some nice gains! Too bad none of the towers around here appear to be doing dual carrier OR having the backhaul to provide >1Gbps.
  24. PedroDaGr8
    Seems like updates have stalled out around here. A number of permits ready for issue or issued but none of the sites having installations done. For example, the Motel 6 site hasn't changed since they removed the equipment. I've heard rumors that the chip shortage was impacting rru/antenna production. Not sure if it's that or something else but really have a dozen permitted sites are sitting unchanged right now.
  25. PedroDaGr8
    Those definitely look B41/n41 panels.
