On the new update, can someone test this for me? Set Location to GPS Only for a few hours & then check Battery Usage for Android System. Is the GPS constantly on for almost as long as GPS was turned on or was GPS active for just a few seconds or minutes?

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.

Got it this morning. Typical permissions resets and inconveniences.

Really wish I hadn't taken through PD3 update. Battery life was twice as good before.

Same here. PB5 was the best for battery life. I don't think the May update will fix it either. I'd love to be proven wrong.

 

In the meanwhile, I've been decreasing my standby drain through an app called ForceDoze. I can now get > 6 hrs of SOT with everything on except sync.

Lookie here! All 3 factory firmwares!

I have successfully downgraded to PC5 myself, but can't get the PB5 to work, I always get a bootloop.

 

The uploader says he has successfully downgraded from PD3 to PB5 (sans bootloader) soooo your mileage may vary.

 

But at any rate, pretty cool.

Rokform about to release their locking mount / magnetic mount case for the s7 edge.

Great setup on my bike.

 

 

 

Still prefer the Speck Candy Shell for daily carry where I don't need a mount option.

The update seems like another good one. My phone's been off the charger for 13 hrs & 19 mins and I'm at 40%battery left with 3 hrs 19 mins SOT.

Got the notification for update APF2 just now. Going to run it now and see what happens.

This is my first Samsung device. I was a bit worried about their history of updates, but I'm impressed. A timely update each month. This is my first Samsung device, but it may not be my last.

Anyone else still having issues with WiFi calling enabled and receiving/making HD calls? I just experienced my first ever HD call on this phone by deactivating WiFi calling, but I want both :(

      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.

      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.

      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.
