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?
Arcadyan KVD21 Will not connect to internet on Band N41. N71 works fine
I've called the customer support hotline 4 times in the past two days. I lose all internet when my gateway connects to band N41. If I try to block the signal using stuff like aluminum foil and walls I can get it to reconnect to N71 for a little while, but then it will reconnect itself to N41 again and I'll lose internet all over again. Can we PLEASE get channel/band locking on gateways! I will continue going through warranty replacements, costing T-Mobile money, if yall see no reason not to give customers what we want.
Blanket signals on the hills where houses are rather than the valleys with the cows and corn?
I live in a suburban to ruralpart of western Washington state. It's called the Lakewood area (between Stanwood, Arlington, Smokey Point and Tulalip) There are many homes that surround Lake Goodwin, Lake Ki and other smaller lakes.. T-Mobile has some excellent tower sites, but is lacking sufficient bandwidth to reach much of thisarea with 5G UC. The area is definitely residential. To this point, T-Mobile has captured fairly well the busy I-5 corridor to the east, but it has also captured some fairly sparsely populated areas, areas near Stanwood and Island Crossingwhere corn and cows predominate, rather thanwhere people populate. I'm hopeful that these more populatedbut underserved residential areas will receive some extra attention in the near future. The service keeps getting better, but is just out of reach for some.
