    This 40% off deal also applies to the 45W charger and a number of other accessories. Just go to the store homepage and click on the link that says: A special offer just for you - As a new Galaxy S22 Series owner, get up to an extra 30% off select Galaxy Watches, Buds and more. Despite it saying 30% it is taking 40% off for me.

    FYI, Samsung is offering 40% off on the GalaxyWatch4+$50 Google Play gift card for new S22 owners. This discount stacks with educational and employer discounts like PerksAtWork. After EPP I got the watch, a $50 Google Play gift card, and 60-days of Strava free for $129.59. They even offer free next day pickup at BestBuy.

    Mentions of the update rolling out for Verizon over on Reddit. Likely TMO won't be far behind.

    Around here, they have been putting n41 on pretty much everything they can. You almost never see a permit without it.

    TMobile just filed to upgrade the site they just installed last year over by Totem Lake: https://permitsearch.mybuildingpermit.com/PermitDetails/BNR22-02836/Kirkland I'm guessing it will add n41 because that's the only band that site lacks.

    Not western Washington per se but the wife and I went hiking at Palouse Falls and the Columbia Wildlife Refuge (namely by the Drumheller Basalt Columns). I was surprised to see 5GUC in areas like Othello and Connell. Those are far from bustling metropolises or even mid-size towns. On the other hand, outside of those areas and there was basically zero TMo coverage on WA-24, WA-26,WA-260, and WA-261 . I spent most of my time roaming on AT&T with the occasional US Cellular or Sprint tower (hopefully keeps)

    T-Mobile isn't joking about rolling out 5GUC to cover as many as possible. I was out in the middle of nowhere Washington this weekend to do some hiking in some of the interesting parts of the Columbia River Flood Basalts. I was surprised to see they had deployed n41 in a number of small rural towns like Othello (pop 7500) and Connell (pop 5500).

    That explains a few locations on my local map.All of the inaccurate have a permit in place to upgrade the tower but it hasn't been done yet.

    He's definitely lurking. He liked one of my posts from a couple weeks ago in the Western Washington Market thread.

    Just tested it and it works fine for me. I'm on the TMobile locked S22U.
  11. PedroDaGr8
    By the way, which frequency is this calculated with? I am wondering if they are optimizing some things for n41 since that is becoming their primary data channel.
  12. PedroDaGr8
    Ohh, map versus satellite view. I sound have noticed that. I've been in and out of meetings all day and my brain is toast.
  13. PedroDaGr8
    What does satellite mean in this context? Also, that is pretty bad when it comes to modulation.
  14. PedroDaGr8
    T-Mobile has already pulled the Sprint equipment from the top of the Totem Lake Motel 6. We will see soon how bad things get signal-wise in that area.
  15. PedroDaGr8
    I assume you mean Tmo equient and yeah I hope they do. That being said, I have little faith based on the Totem Lake area.
  16. PedroDaGr8
    Got it here too!
  17. PedroDaGr8
    Have to say, T-Mobile has been keeping A LOT more sites than I expected.
  18. PedroDaGr8
    It is REALLY REALLY strange. Makes me wonder if there is some sort of show-stopper bug (much like what impacted the Pixels).
  19. PedroDaGr8
    For those who monitor permits, I just noticed that permits for Unicorporated King County (Starting second half of 2020) are now on MyBu8ldingPermit.
  20. PedroDaGr8
    If my region is any indication, they will. I can only think of a handful of towers near me which haven't been upgraded yet. Most are either in weird locations (like a basin), already covered by another tower, or in a NIMBY area.
  21. PedroDaGr8
    Hopefully it doesn't have anything to do with the recent Samsung Hack

    Per Rey:

    A post over on Reddit notes that when TMobile has been deploying the new Erickson 4460 radios, they are deploying a separate antenna for B25/66 rather than use the mid-band ports on the larger multi-band antenna. They are curious why "...when T-Mobile deploys the Ericsson Radio 4460 (capable of B25 + B66), they often connect it to a separate mid-band antenna, and leave the mid-band ports on the low+mid-band array empty. In this case, they've connected it to a CommScope VV-65A-R1- that one is pretty common, in other cases, I've seen them use a (much older) RFS APX16. The reason I ask is because both the APX16 and the VV-65A-R1 are seemingly worse than the APXVAARRAPXVAARR24_43-U-NA20 (or APXVAALL24_43-U-NA20 on newer setups) in terms of gain, so there must be something else to this pattern. " It seems strange to use the Low+Mid and then not use the mid ports (rather than just use discrete low and mid antennas. Anyone have any ideas?

    Honestly, this one is in a horrible location. It is located in a low spot in the area meaning it would only appreciably serve the small area around it. Everything else is better served by one of the other two towers nearby. We will see, they have made MANY dumb decisions before.
  25. PedroDaGr8
    It does. I can easily band lock on my T-Mobile S22.
