What screen protectors do you guys use/recommend for the S8 (not plus)? Was looking at many on Amazon, and many reviews stating screen protectors don't cover entire screen, or won't stick to edges causing lifting in cases. 

I've had good luck with both the Otium and Ottao TGSP's on my GS8+.  

I don't have any adhesive or sticking issues because after applying the TGSP, I always turn off the phone and heat up the glue with a heat gun on low setting.

I use Zagg and let them install it at the mall.

I use the liquid ones. I have two boxes of two inside each one. I bought the wrong ones for my device ( have 8 plus) it's from IQ Shield and it's case friendly, has little space between the edge of the case. If you want them, I'll ship you them for a few bucks.

Tim!!! What is this on beta 5??? I thought 4x4 MIMO was a no go on b41?420275af321073fbf8e7d087068c685d.jpg08fd26b611034b8ecf1025806f8ffd9c.jpg Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 

 

 

 

 

No. B41 will have 4x4 mimo 64qam and 256 qam and hopefully 64qam up. The S8 just doesn't support 256qam on B41. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Pretty sure it was the other way around, supported 256qam on b41 but no 4x4. Hopefully it's now supported, but would have to go through FCC for re-certification

I was told the S8 doesn't support 256 qam. I've heard every Sprint LTE phone supports 4x2 mimo so I'm am sure the S8 supports 4x4.

Quote from fox article..

 

"The phone also supports 3x carrier aggregation and 256 QAM on Sprint, and will be able to get 4x4 MIMO coverage on the 1900MHz PCS band with a "future software update." That will extend 1900MHz coverage for this phone. However, the S8 is not a full gigabit phone on Sprint, as it won't have 4x4 MIMO on the 2.5GHz band. Sprint demoed gigabit capabilities last month using a future Motorola device."

Wow. I didn't know that. So does support 256qam on both B25 and 41? Wonder if they plan for it on B26 in the future.

Like he said though the MIMO option on b41 and b25 seems to indicate that the S8 could possibly be recertified for 4x4 mimo on b41. This is a beta though so hold all judgements for the final build.

That's really good because I have a pixel 2 XL and I'm looking to possibly return the phone and use the S8 I have

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
