I am coming from the beta. The beta was already good.  I am already used to my S9 so seems slow. Lol

It is.  It will pickup B41 great just like the S9.  Varies on markets, S9's speedtest on B41 is slightly better than S8.  In my market that is the case.  Some in NY seeing 200+Mbps.  I only see 100Mbps average which my S8 been able to do.

One week in with the S9+ and this thing blows the S8+ away in speed and the camera. My gawd, the camera has really improved. Sharpness of photos is far, far, far better. Hyperlapse is a clever camera mode I find myself using it with the kids pretty frequently. Zoom actually ends up with sharp photos too.

Oh yes I definitely agree the S9 plus camera is a dramatic Improvement.

Reviews says it's not worth the upgrade, I call bs it's a huge difference in performance in every aspect.

The camera is actually pretty good.dbeeb15d34b728dc75b1f237a72d3c5e.jpgab2c1df20af9e97af01655e7cc9ebb7f.jpg35c09efef2dca5fc563727ce07658428.jpg634d84c4faf7c898b5f9e02a5954eb7e.jpg68ffffe71a3643c2277d1518e9818946.jpg09bb6b969288a7060fb116bb768ab291.jpg00145f2af4360c37d6b4844ae8e3e637.jpg8724229b36c5c8639153f917e3c0311a.jpg8e81eb4bcf229ba1d28a632264200fec.jpg

Any of you with the S9 seeing any CA between 25 and 41 or anything with B26?

Well, reviewers usually don't live with these devices as their daily drivers. So they likely don't run into the quirks that we might run into over the course of a year with the old device. You are welcome to call BS, but I think you'd be pretty surprised as I was. Even with a freshly built S8+ like I had in the weeks prior to my switch, it was far slower than this S9+....and it should be, I sure hope. If anything I'd get it for the finger print scanner location. :)

Commenting in here since its more active...

 

I recently got the S8 Active and have been unable to get a single HD Voice call.

 

I disabled wifi calling in the phone and at the account level, and it hasnt fixed it.

I am in the same location as with the old phone, and I am calling other Sprint customers (including on my plan).

Any advice?

Do you guys have problems with your S8 freezing from Time to time? Mine keeps doing that?

Nope that never happens to me. It's actually the most consistent Galaxy device I have ever owned.

I've had times where it's "slow" or sluggish, but never frozen.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
