Post update results seem good. Placed a couple of Wi-Fi calls, and have been browsing reddit and listening to music without issue. For the first time ever, the screen has taken the top spot as far as what's consuming battery. I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to be. A noticeable improvement in battery stamina and the device hasn't gotten very warm at all. 44bdd8170adf7ce2af80d0cf67281a2d.jpg

Im trying my hardest not to upgrade early. I wish Sprint had a jump like program where you can upgrade more than once per year.  Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Got to say, the battery life is amazing on this thing.

Does any one else who took the latest update have horribly downgraded battery life? I should be at 75 to 80% left right now but I'm at 51%, same usage pattern as before.

I couldn't even get into my desktop on the phone after the update. My screen was stuck at what looked like a wall paper indicating installing apps until it finally asked to set TouchWiz back as default app. I had to use edge apps and voice commands to start anything until touch wiz finally took back over. 0622445c7fa6ea3a1736c1c36778fa34.jpg

I had the new Samsung UI on my phone and uninstalled it after a few hours. That needs some work before it can go on anything that ships.

Same. By the screenshots, it looked interesting but it needs some polishing and additional options before it is daily driver ready. Still neat to play around with though.

Anyone knows what happens if you accidentally place a plugged in phone onto a wireless charging pad?

If you want HD Calling, you HAVE to call them, (customer service) or disable Wi-Fi calling on ALL of your phone lines. iPad Air's included.

I have no issue getting HD calls and still have WiFi calling on my accounts but not actively using on the phone.

I performed a hard factory reset, twice, then set up again from scratch. Now, things are better. Android System less than 20%of my battery life. Gonna observe for a couple more days.

Finally customized my GS7E to my liking. It took a while to b/c many initial cases & TGSPs were crap & it took several revisions before the little issues got straightened out. Thank goodness for Amazon Prime's super easy return process.

 

My current daily driver setup is:

 

*GPEL black TGSP. It has perfect fitment, excellent touch sensitivity, strong adhesive, & plays nice with several cases.

*dbrand black leather skin on the rear glass

*Tauri or match2 clear TPU case with small front lip protection

This pic shows my 1st TGSP. This one, which is made by Glass Pro on eBay, had some slight sensitivity issues and had the cutout for the Samsung logo which I don't care for.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
