Terrell352 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 This was my theory from the get go! Crazy how it totally skewed Sprint's performance in the PC Mag testing. Good to see them go back to PC Mag and point the issue out. Also as has been pointed out, this latest update changed the band priority to what it should be. But even after the update some still say it lags in overall B41 performance. This was last months update but since the new update from Saturday B41 has definitely gotten worse. Maybe a new bug doing the same thing. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the S7 is still faster overall even though it's not HPUE and 85% of people received the update to fix the problem confirms it.

Terrell352 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I can confirm that not only is the S7 better at holding b41 but it is more usable with worse b41 signal. I thought that was the whole point of HPUE? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk I have compared it to the G6 and after latest update they seem quite close. They switch bands within seconds of each other. But something about the GS8 radio is still odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk I do have access to my sisters Note 5, and after changing the band priority I found that it (GS8) held onto B41 longer. I will try to snatch it up today to compare.. But for some reason, its just not as fast in download speeds, so it seems at the edge it becomes sketchy.

I will try to snatch it up today to compare.. But for some reason, its just not as fast in download speeds. It's different now. With the June security update the band priority was changed to b41 first by default and somehow it is not as good as the May security update was so don't be surprised if the Note 5 is better all of a sudden.

BlueAngel Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I hope they keep digging deeper and figure out how to make HPUE work as advertised. Right now it makes no difference at all. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonbrian Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 My case for hpue was note 5 usable at -122 signal compare to s8 .i got 14mbps download at -122 before I'm s8 . The 30 percent in coverage is total bs my s8 always drop band 41 in same area as my note 5.i also notice when I show 3 carriers band 41 in engineering but not on signal pro check only shows 2 carriers. Speeds very slow still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeds very slow still.SCP does not show CA status at all. It shows which carrier is the PCC only. For 3xCA you have the PCC (primary carrier, which is used for upload) and 2 SCCs. The PCC is essentially random to load balance between them. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
