optimummind Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Update: After putting a full days work traveling around my city and the surrounding area and using LTE calling, I'm impressed. No dropped calls, all outgoing calls connected instantly, crystal clear voice, had a few of my Verizon friends ask me if I got a new phone because I sounded much clearer on their end. Can't wait for full blown VoLTE. Sounds promising. Hopefully the 955U1 GS8+ will get that update as well.

Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk If not the 950U1 and G955U1 can be made to work... see my post above. Lots of steps but possible. My phone is a converted U1 that I use. Hopefully they do bring it to the U1 though... Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketr Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Every function of the phone works fine if you convert a G950U1 to a G950U SPR (Sprint) version... The only thing that needs to be done is to uninstall the Sprint Voice Mail application following the directions I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to flash the phone to the Sprint firmware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jthawks Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 So mine is just basically Wi-Fi calling then. No lte calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jthawks Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I had to restart my phone twice before it started working Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk so that calling plus icon came on when I got home. Don't have Wi-Fi on either and I'm on the phone while using lte finally. So does this only work at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimummind Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Anyone else having this issue? "Ok Google" voice commands do not work when the phone is plugged in & charging. The prompt appears but when I speak, it's as if the microphone isn't working. Off the charger, everything works fine.

I can hear her great but she kept saying I was cutting out.I had issues with call quality in West Texas. I could hear the other person but they couldn't hear me most of the time. When I was driving back to Houston calls got much better with minor issues with tower changes. They are crap again at my house, but LTE signal strength at my house is why I requested a magic box. I think what some of us are witnessing is why Sprint is slowly moving towards VoLTE. Sent from my SM-T587P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisc Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 What I've noticed so far here in the Minneapolis area, when receiving an LTE call, there is an initial lag from my end where the person on the other end won't hear me for a few seconds. Once they do, everything sounds great and clear. Maybe not crystal clear like HD voice though. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you call with calling plus and the other person is also using calling plus then the HD voice symbol comes on.
