DurhamHusker Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Sprint overall has slow down every where I have been lately. Also with their change to roaming (100mb) I will more then likely be moving to Verizon after 17 years of faithfully service with them.What Sprint plan are you on?

DurhamHusker Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Here in SoCal, my LTE reception performance got worse after the official 7.0 update. At the same locations & at the same time, my wife's & mom's iPhone SE and Note 3 get LTE whereas I only get 3G at some spots. Anyone else with worse LTE reception?

chico1983 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 40gb family plan. But all of sprints plan now only offer 100mb. Read the fine print and you will discover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you roam, you're very limited in data usage and Sprint loses money having to pay Verizon. It's a lose-lose situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you roam, you're very limited in data usage and Sprint loses money having to pay Verizon. It's a lose-lose situation. Our extended family lives in US Cellular territory. Our two annual vacation spots are also in US Cellular land. Verizon is spotty in all those places and so wouldn't do me any good. At&t and TM are non existent. US Cellular isn't really an option where we live and work. So, yeah, that 300 MB of roaming works out perfectly for us. And I live in Kansas City and enjoy playing for the home town team anyway ;-) Regardless I don't see myself leaving Sprint mostly for coverage reasons. Weird, but it just works for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twospirits Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 To be perfectly honest, I am not feeling the force with this one as much as I did with the S7 Edge or the Note 7. So I am not jumping the gun to pre-order like I usually do. I just may wait out a bit to see what the Note 8 has in store for us.Then I'll decide which to get. Although the S8 Plus would be my favorite of the two currently for pre-order. Now if someone can confirm that adoptable storage is working on the US version then yes, I;'ll take the leap to buy it now. Personally I would really want a developers version, but I think only Verizon gets those (aarrgghh) and I really don't think I can wait that long either since developers version come out months later.

MattVeltkamp Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I really HATE the placement of that fingerprint scanner. Think I'll wait for the note 8 also. Hopefully that will have better camera, larger battery, in screen Fingerprint scanner, 6gigs of ram. They will have to make it great to make up for the note 7 Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if it didn't have those two security log ons, having it in the back sort of feels natural (at least to me) since my fingers are back there anyway.

mc_gusto Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I read you can't use retina and face scans for Samsung pay which is use almost exclusively. I don't wanna be that guy holding up the line either. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw they actually have a popup when you turn on your camera to wipe the camera lens. Obviously it's an issue. No quick shots I guess.

optimummind Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Tried taking the update again after restoring via Odin but got stuck again at the Sprint screen. Currently on my third attempt after making a few changes - disabled Data Saver, Power Saving, and uninstalled the Package Disabler.
