BlueAngel Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Only battery issue is the fact that there is only a 10 min difference between regular charging and fast charging. But battery life has been incredible! This was yesterday. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Yeah that's about double of what I get on my Note 5.

Somebody else try it like leave youtube streaming see if it changes bands.Mine switches from b41 to b25 when I'm using internet. I even tried video. It doesn't switch back to band 25 or 41 til data stops though. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If you are relying upon SignalCheck Pro to display band switching, with certain combinations of handsets, bands, and GCIs, SignalCheck Pro no longer is fully accurate at identifying bands. Confirm with engineering screens or other apps. AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirm with engineering screens or other apps. AJ SCP has gotten less accurate each passing day. Noticed quite often it thinks I'm on b26 when in reality I'm on B41. But never the other way around.

Somebody else try it like leave youtube streaming see if it changes bands.It should be switching, even during active data sessions. Both of my Nexus and iPhone will switch from band 26 to band 25 without any issues during active data sessions (streaming live radio). The S8 should even go from 3G to LTE on active data sessions without a hiccup. But then again, it could be a Samsung thing. I do remember my old Galaxy S5 being stubborn and not switching bands until I put the phone down or completely lost signal on the cell I was on. I know for a fact that every phone I've owned has a hard time going from FDD LTE to TDD LTE. I've seen it happen, but it just doesn't happen as often as it should.

So it could be a network thing. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the FDD to TD handoffs during data isn't great possibly due to the fact that they are two different antennas.

clbowens Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Did anyone notice that if you go to the Sprint coverage map, and select the GS8 as the phone, it shows less LTE coverage (and more 3G coverage around edge areas)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonbrian Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I am not convince on band 41 hpue is 30 percent better coverage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
