rackhivee Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thinking about it now it will be no interesting to see how much hpue helps with signal, the best I get in my house on B41 is around 94dBm, will the S8 get low 80's? Should be interesting considering I hardly ever see B25, my other question is will clearwire sites support hpue? If not probably won't be a change is dBm.

mnjeepmale Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It seems my phone is latching onto 3G more since the latest update. Security update I think. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Its strange. Even with full bars of service it will go to 3g out of nowhere. Happens often. My other phone doesn't do it.

BlueAngel Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Mine has been fine go figure, this is my third Note 5. Got this one back in June due to signal issues, it's been fine besides the battery lol. Think I'll be going to the S8+ when it's available, time for something new I don't really ever use the spen so I think I'll be ok lol.

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk I've had sim issues here and there but it usually goes away on its own, does suck when it happens though 3G sucks lol. I'm finding I'm holding onto LTE a lot better now than in the past as I said though go figure. Also feels like the screen sensitivity is crap too, can hardly type correctly at this point, a lot may have to do with my OtterBox defender but even on the weekends when it's naked it seems off. As I said I am ready for something new, just not looking forward to going with a Qualcomm CPU, I really like the optimization that the Exynos CPU brings to the experience.

Terrell352 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 After 7.0 update this phone is latching on to b41 in seconds after airplane mode instead of a min or 2. Need to see if b26 issue is fixed.

iruntrains Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I don't know if this is normal but i thunk I've lost more battery before the update watching a movie than after.. just watched a movie that was an hour and 35 minutes and only used 15 percent battery and that was while connected to a speaker via Bluetooth.

iruntrains Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I'm just saying that's it's already better.. before i would have been down to about 65-70 percent from a hundred instead of 85... Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAngel Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hmm funny, guess the Note 5 is not relevant anymore but no android news sites that I follow have any news on it, not even Sammobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
