5G is irrelevant, as Tesla doesn't use 5G. The bottleneck is the uplink speeds for the 4G LTE which is on AT&T for Tesla AFAIK. Note uplink speeds will tend to be a fraction of download speeds and is not symmetrical.

Same issue...mine worked once and has now stopped working. Looking for a fix but can't find anything. Please link a URL to a fix if you find it.

I really think it is just an intermittent issue with no rhyme or reason. At least in my experience over the past week or so.
It's partially true. The Android app has taken a week to be available on Google Play. But it was available on apkmirror (side loading site) the same day as on iOS. Not this time though. Or actually, the 4.2.2 version is available on both platforms, the difference is that they're not having the same feature list this time.

The deprecation of 3G (backup to LTE in Teslas) occurs next year. LTE (I guess "long term" is relative) similarly will eventually give way to 5G, so Tesla would be wise to upgrade its radio module.

I don't think 4G LTE will phase out anywhere near the same timetable. 2G and 3G had to be phase out because they need to clear out the spectrum for more room for 4G LTE. But the various 5G implementations largely operate on new spectrum so they aren't really competing for the space. Adoption of 5G also seems to be much slower as it doesn't offer nearly as much advantage as the jump from 3G to 4G LTE.

The same issue with LTE bands eventually needed for 5G. From 600MHz to millimeter wave, you're right: 5G is more diverse with respect to spectrum. But data hungry devices and applications of the near future may bring LTE to its knees that would militate the shift to 5G.

So I am at 2021.36.8.5 but there is no sentry live. Is it because I have FSD Beta? My car is a 2020 S Long Range.

Thanks. So I don’t even see the button for live view, just one at the top that says remote access or something. Mmmmm
I now have live sentry on my Android. I just now got Ver 4.3.0-766 from Google play and it works great. The car is running 2021.36.8. Love it. Woo Hoo!

Yep. Just got the app update as well! Finally have live view!!!! Now, if they can send a notification when something gets close to the car, so we can turn on live view to see what's going on, that would be awesome!
Edit: For those on Android, what carrier and phone are you using? Might help if it's a staged rollout. I'm on Verizon with a Pixel 6 (unlocked Google variant).

So it looks like it is a full roll out for Android. Doesn't matter if you are on Android OS 11 or 12, locked or unlocked to a carrier. As long as your Tesla is up to date, you are good to go!

Yep. Elon uses an iPhone, so iOS will always be updated first. It sucks, but it's the price we pay to use an OS that isn't hamstrung by a walled garden. The irony is, driving a Tesla means we're still in a walled garden, just by a different company.over 3 weeks later(android app)

Odd that Play Store still has the Oct 29 version (4.2.3), and no automatic update occurred. (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, tmo)
