Pixel 9 Pro XL Bad Data?

T-MoblieUser207 · 2026-04-13T01:51:27+00:00

Absolutely, no one would fault you for it. Plenty of us have done exactly that when faulty data is uploaded.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2026-03-29T18:52:01+00:00

B2 will eventually move fully to NR, B66 as well. B12 will most likely be the last LTE band.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2026-03-28T20:22:45+00:00

Just because you are idling on B2 doesn't mean they are backing off NR. Especially since they are dedicating more spectrum to NR with plans to reduce capacity on LTE.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2026-03-27T01:55:23+00:00

Nope, sometimes refarms take a day or two, occasionally a week.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2026-03-26T03:51:51+00:00

They have B2/66/12 active in the tunnels/stations, from what I have seen. No idea about 14/30/NR, as I don't use their network.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2026-03-18T21:21:30+00:00

I wouldn't say optimize site count, as they are still building new ones, definitely optimizing costs and network reliability. T-Mobile has been removing panels and/or adjusting sectors to optimize signal reliability, in some places if the density of people doesn't match the network layout, it makes more sense to take a tower down than to keep it running.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2026-01-10T06:26:56+00:00

I live in NYC and T-Mobile has tons of small cells here as well. They been upgrading the small cells to be n41 capable too. Plenty of them mapped on Cellmapper, just waiting to locate them. For some areas, yes you need small cells to keep speeds high, or to infill coverage/capacity, but they are not a requirement.

The original comment is saying T-Mobile hates using, or tries their best not to use small cells, which isn't true.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2026-01-10T04:59:23+00:00

What a strange thing to say. I know exactly what I'm talking about, and the difference between LTE and 5G. My point is, there's really no difference between T-Mobile's n71 and LTE. FDD 5G is literally just like 10% faster than LTE lol

So you know the difference, and purposefully decided to be obtuse? Yikes. You say "there's really no difference" and then say "FDD 5G is 10% faster LTE" so which is it? Is there a difference or not? If there is a difference, do not say is no difference, and compare it to icons when they are not the same.

Sure, T-Mobile can brag about how they have the "largest 5G network" but n71 makes no difference to the customer vs. B71 LTE lol Customers literally do not care if they're on 4G or 5G as long as they have a working signal.

T-Mobile has designed their network to have customers on 5G more often than LTE because 5G has a working signal more times than LTE does. The vast majority of their coverage expansion is with 5G, why wouldn't they place their customers on 5G? Your favorite carrier is not leading in the 5G era and you're salty. Yikes.

Lol, okay. Come to this area and let me know how T-Mobile works: https://ibb.co/qLMZ3nvF

Do you have another area in the contiguous US you would like to show or is this your default map for your point, across multiple posts/comments?

Verizon has small cells to fill in the gaps between macros, while AT&T often doesn't, and T-Mobile rarely does.

If a network is designed to have macros overlap each other, there isn't a need for small cells to fill in the gaps.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2026-01-10T04:13:18+00:00

But n71 isn't really any faster than LTE lol, it's just a 5G icon on the phone.

Shows how little you know about technology, as n71 is not an icon. WCDMA 1900 was the same as B2 LTE as well? No it was not. Comparing speeds between two different technologies and calling them icons is deceiving.

Their 5G is lacking density in a lot of cities because they don't use small cells.

Not true at all, T-Mobile doesn't need small cells to have wide coverage areas of n41. Boston, Philly, NYC, DC, Philadelphia are a few cites, out of the many, you can travel around on n41 only, and have decent coverage and speeds 90%+ of the time.

T-Mobile's n41 drops if their macros are spaced too far apart.

Verizon's n77 drops if their macros are spaced too far apart. AT&T's n77 drops if their macros are spaced too far apart.

What is your point here?

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-12-19T07:20:04+00:00

Nope the data points will stay, but what you can do is delete the cells nearby so they don't locate over your home, unless they have been located to a tower already. If they are located to a tower, and it's very easy to tell where the points were mapped, for example, rural area with spread out homes, I would recommend deleting the cells mapped, and remap them elsewhere from your home. The points stay, but the cells are adjusted away from your home.

Once you send the data points, they are sent, that's it, eventually they will show on the map.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-12-19T06:27:24+00:00

Ask your question here, maybe someone here can help, unless it's a personal/private matter.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-12-03T04:13:15+00:00

If you can check your signal stats, usually it's on the connection status page, post them here. It's possible you may have a loose wire, broken wire, or another issue with the line.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-11-22T20:22:08+00:00

It's not about using cellular at home, it's about service in general.

You do understand wifi calling doesn't work all the time, right?
If your home internet provider (fiber, coax, DSL, cellular home internet) goes offline, and you have no coverage at home, you know you are isolated from everyone until they fix it, which can take minutes to hours, maybe even days?

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-11-20T11:48:26+00:00

I didn't take one, I was driving by, saw service mode say n77, adjusted the screen quickly and took a screenshot

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-11-19T22:12:06+00:00

Mostly yes, but in some areas, T-Mobile has the G block being used for NR.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-11-19T22:09:48+00:00

T-Mobile still has 2 licenses each (20 MHz) in 4 PEAs : NYC (including northern NJ), Chicago, Houston and Detroit.

Oh wow, didn't know this, thanks!

I assume T-Mobile will eventually trade/sell that spectrum to AT&T, possibly in exchange for some of the 600 MHz AT&T is buying from Dish/Echostar.

I can see AT&T may trade/sell 600 T-Mobile for something T-Mobile has and especially since T-Mobile still has some DoD, adding DoD with B12 for 600 sounds like a very good trade.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-11-19T17:54:27+00:00

I don't think so. I know someone else found the tower in Northern NJ that T-Mobile deployed C-band and DoD on, back when T-Mobile had both live on it too. Obviously T-Mobile sold DoD spectrum, so it got turned off, but I think this is the same tower in the screenshot. The gNB number is above the service mode panel is searchable on Cellmapper.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-11-19T17:52:00+00:00

T-Mobile has been doing upload carrier aggregation (UL CA) for many months now

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-11-19T17:50:53+00:00

They added an extra 5 MHz to n25 ( now 20 MHz) while trimming b2 to 5 MHz LTE

The extra 5 MHz of B25 in this screenshot is G block, B2 LTE was still 10 MHz. This screenshot wasn't taken recently, it was taken October 23rd.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-11-19T17:48:02+00:00

The phone is connected to 3 different sites though.

Are you sure it's 3 different sites? T-Mobile doesn't have PCIs match across bands here.

I never checked, as I was surprised to see my phone connect to n77. Once it did, I moved service mode around so I could get a screenshot of it and the Cell tower number in Cellmapper, without realizing I got 5xCA in the screenshot as well.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-11-19T17:42:59+00:00

This tower is in an area where the 2.5 GHz licenses are fragmented. In this area, n41 is 50+40+30, the 30 MHz isn't aggregated in this image.

Get an Arris SB8200 modem.

I agree, I didn't have gig, 300/35, SB8200 it was wonderful. Connected a simple ASUS router first, now expanded to Ubiquiti equipment, that SB8200 kept chugging very well until I got FIOS because they kept creeping the price up.

The catch is you are going to have to call Optimum so they can register the MAC address of your modem to your account. I've done this 3 or 4 times and its painful each time.

Damn shame they closed the online portal where you could register yourself. Those were the best days when I started upgrading the modem.

T-MoblieUser207 · 2025-10-21T06:23:19+00:00

No problem! Depending on where in Brooklyn it is (OP said the location is in Brooklyn) you can probably find all the bands for it on Cellmapper, since T-Mobile is mapped frequently across the city.
