nexgencpu Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 WOW so far its awesome! It switches bands while on a call with zero problem! (I was dreading it would get stuck on B26 but its going from any band to any band with zero issues) and somehow signal check pro is recognizing the phone call as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys have Wifi Calling enabled previously? Try just rebooting the phone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexgencpu Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Radio performance seems similar.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Radio performance seems similar..It is a new radio baseband but yeah performance looks to be identical. At least we went straight to the August update though. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It installed and worked without rebooting, but I rebooted a few minutes after just in case. Question... Is there supposed to be a new icon for Calling Plus besides WiFi Calling or does it replace it? I still have the WiFi Calling icon, even though when clicked it takes me to the Calling Plus setting.

twospirits Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I have this icon HA, I didn't bother to look in the drop down notifications area. I was referring to the apps folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmark27 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So the new Voice + Data beta only works on LTE and will drop if it gets outside LTE range....that's um, a little chancy for the old Sprint network in my neck of the woods. I assume the LTE hand-offs work okay between the different bands of LTE?? Does anyone know if the WiFi-calling has been improved? Does it hand off between WiFi APs without dropping? Does it transition from WiFi to LTE without dropping? I can't see much of that discussed with any certainty in the Sprint Community articles. Thanks for any knowledge you guys may have.

Paynefanbro Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I miss being able to choose which networks WiFi calling gets to work on. My phone connects to WiFi automatically at work ad while it's decent for browsing, it's really inconsistent for WiFi calling. But if the trade off is that I get to make calls over LTE, then so be it. I'm certain Sprint chose this as their next device because it's their most popular new handset and they can collect a lot of data on call blocks and drops to optimize VoLTE down the line.

rocketr Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Don't try using this on a congested LTE tower. Bad stuff happen. Not ready for prime time but it's good to have also the transition to LTE is good to have as well Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice that you can choose to turn one or the other off. So if you don't want the WiFi calling, then toggle that one off. Smart play here by Sprint on the toggle choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JossMan Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 My observations so far for LTE calling w/o WiFi, instant connection, clear voice, seemless LTE band switching. So far so good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAngel Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Seems like everyone is liking the update, hope what I am seeing is true. Haven't really had time to look for any changes but I'll definitely keep a lookout for anything I might catch.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk It needs to not allow a call on a congested tower... currently it does and voice doesn't get transmitted. It works awesome on non-congested towers though.
