Band n25 SA on Galaxy S22 Ultra still not enabled
T-Mobile has recently spoken about the newer n25 SA band being used lately, and it was even tested with my model, the S22 Ultra. Lots of people are already picking up this band (with other model phones, or are having to hack their S22 to even enable the n25 SA band) in carrier aggregation with n41 for improving 5G UC speeds. I have a TMob carrier firmware S22U deviceand in the most 2 recent software updates, Nov, and now just got Dec ver.S908USQU2BVL1. It's unbelievable that TMob has still not enabled n25 SA. Only n25 NSA is enabled (since Nov update) which is useless. Only the new n25 band can CA (carrier aggregate) with n41 on SA, not NSA. This is very disingenuous for T-Mobile to be out touting this update while not offering it on a phone that has all these bands by default but is not being enabled by T-Mobile, especially on such a flagship phone like the S22 Ultra. What is going on?
The 5gUC "upgrade" bricks my iPhone 12 Pro
T-mobile just "upgraded" towers in my area to carry signals as 5gUC but whenever my phone switches from 5g to 5gUC, the data gets bricked. My family has four T-mobile iPhones, from the 12 Pro through the new 14, and this is affecting ALL of our iPhones. When we are on 5gUC, we can't text, can't download pictures or video, can't upload anything at all, and cannot open apps. NOTHING works on 5gUC on any of our iPhones except the phone calling feature. That'd be fine if I was paying for a landline phone, but these are iPhones! Come on, T-mobile! I spent well over an hour on the phone with T-mobile tech support on Wednesday, and they had me go into settings and "reset iPhone," then "reset network settings," and supposedly they were fine-tuning something on their end with a supervisor assisting to "fix" the issue with 5gUC. This made things better for one day, then today (two days later) the 5gUC bricked all our phones again. Hey T-mobile, if you rolled out something that doesn't work, FIX IT! And no, the solution is not to send your customers back to 2019 LTE only service when we are paying for 5G capability. Turn off the 5gUC features on your towers and go back to the 5G service that worked before the UC"upgrade" until you have the problems ironed out. Quit compromising service with a clearly botched upgrade. T-mobile tech support had me use my Verizon cell phone from my work for most of the hour long call with their tech support…because my T-mobile service wasn't working… I'm starting to think that's significant in some way….
