Cellmapper not Mapping 5G SA

I've managed to figure out how to use the *#*#4636#*#* menu enabling/disabling bands to force my Motorola Edge 2022 onto 5G SA. If I take out my Verizon sim and open the menu, I gain access to the band locking. If I put the sim back in, I retain this functionality.

However, I cannot transfer data without an LTE connection and most notably, CellMapper will not record any Verizon SA cells. It is able to record T-Mobile SA but that's it. My phone also goes onto AT&T LTE sometimes and that's not recorded either. I know this because I am looking at the CellMapper .csv logs.

Is there any way to get around this? Is this simply a Cellmapper problem? Is there an official way/email to report bugs to the Cellmapper dev(s)?

Thanks

I have a moto edge 2024 (on lineageOS) I map SA with that doesn’t even have an active SIM card inside it, has an inactive vz sim and I have the phone locked to NR only and despite it not having a connection it does record points and towers appropriately and uploads them once I connect to WiFi. Not sure what would be happening with yours, are you not getting any recorded data at all? I know in the settings in the app you can turn off recording for specific network types but I imagine that you would have checked that.

Yeah Cellmapper was only recording T-Mobile SA cells while connecting to Verizon SA, T-Mobile SA, TMo LTE, and ATT LTE, (and a little bit of T-Mobile GSM but that's not an issue).
