All of you are misinterpreting what HPUE is.   It does not increase RSRP levels as that is the signal it receives from the eNB.   Hpue increases the TX connection to the eNB so that it is able t

From limited testing, B41 stays connected on the GS8 at a -110-115 B41 area whereas the Pixel and GS7 was mega band swapping between 41/25/26 at -115 to -120 range.    IOTW, HPUE seems to work.

We are holding an S8 raffle.  We might be late to the party on this one, but, if you already bought one you probably could stand a second one in your household.  Enter early and often and help support

Only battery issue is the fact that there is only a 10 min difference between regular charging and fast charging. But battery life has been incredible! This was yesterday. d9b4c890e7c196a7d99d63d6311f876b.jpg

Yeah that's about double of what I get on my Note 5.

Mine switches from b41 to b25 when I'm using internet. I even tried video. It doesn't switch back to band 25 or 41 til data stops though.

If you are relying upon SignalCheck Pro to display band switching, with certain combinations of handsets, bands, and GCIs, SignalCheck Pro no longer is fully accurate at identifying bands.  Confirm with engineering screens or other apps.

SCP has gotten less accurate each passing day.

 

Noticed quite often it thinks I'm on b26 when in reality I'm on B41. But never the other way around.

It should be switching, even during active data sessions. Both of my Nexus and iPhone will switch from band 26 to band 25 without any issues during active data sessions (streaming live radio). The S8 should even go from 3G to LTE on active data sessions without a hiccup.

 

But then again, it could be a Samsung thing. I do remember my old Galaxy S5 being stubborn and not switching bands until I put the phone down or completely lost signal on the cell I was on.

 

I know for a fact that every phone I've owned has a hard time going from FDD LTE to TDD LTE. I've seen it happen, but it just doesn't happen as often as it should.

My Pixel often will be shunted from B41 to B26 as soon as I turn on tethering and stays there. So it could be a network thing.

I think the FDD to TD handoffs during data isn't great possibly due to the fact that they are two different antennas.

They definitely did not stop hyping it up..

 

They have a third device that's on boost.

What device is that?

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
