All of you are misinterpreting what HPUE is.   It does not increase RSRP levels as that is the signal it receives from the eNB.   Hpue increases the TX connection to the eNB so that it is able t

From limited testing, B41 stays connected on the GS8 at a -110-115 B41 area whereas the Pixel and GS7 was mega band swapping between 41/25/26 at -115 to -120 range.    IOTW, HPUE seems to work.

We are holding an S8 raffle.  We might be late to the party on this one, but, if you already bought one you probably could stand a second one in your household.  Enter early and often and help support

Any disadvantages compared to Sprint firmware?

No WiFi calling is all I believe, but then again I don't know if they ever fixed it where if you had it enabled even when not in use it would disable HD Voice. I'm also curious though if HPUE works on unlocked firmware?

I am literally never in a situation no matter where I go where wifi calling is necessary. 1x800 voice is that good so I could care less about wifi calling.

I thought the same thing today lol, started a new job and the basement it's literally 1x800 or roaming on Verizon, and the 1x800 cuts out quick too. Wanted to turn on WiFi calling but didn't want to lose HD Voice but I might have no choice but to considering my job is crucial on me having a functioning phone. Even the one lady said I hope you're on our WiFi because it doesn't matter what service you have it's pretty much a dead zone lol.

Calling plus is literally made primarily for data and voice simultaneously.

I know that. I was asking if thos phones can use it once updated or if it's for future deployment.

I was just saying to myself that we'd likely get it in the next update.

 

Also what is "Enhanced Messaging new features"? Is that stuff that you can only experience using the Android Messages app? I was hoping maybe RCS would be enabled in the default Samsung messaging app sometime soon.

It is the enhanced messaging (RCS) that is embedded within Samsung's stock messaging app, but can only be used between Samsung devices that have this feature turned on.  For some reason the S8 on Sprint was disabled upon release but its nice to see a feature that I was so use to on the S7 return (literally all of my friends and family have either the S7 or S8),

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
