Anybody else go with the headphones and 256 GB microSD card deal with the free GearVR?  I sure did. I was in the market for a new fast SD card and the ones I were looking at for 64 gig was like $50, so for 256 GB and a new set of pretty good headphones at $100?  Sure, why not.  

 

I wonder if the upgraders will be prioritized over the free GearVRers for shipments??

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

For those that don't already know, use the shop samsung app to register for the free vr/$99 bundle.  For some reason many, including myself had issues doing it on samsungs website but the app works perfectly.

I did one of each, pretty sure there won't be any priority.

Looks like an update is out at 390+mb.  The change log is pretty generic but this probably includes the fix to where you can't remap the bixby button.

So UPS found the found after multiple calls.

 

Phone is really snappy compared to the S7 Edge which lagged when starting up and doing simple things by opening apps or settings. I'm going to try to be more open with the Bixby and give it a try, so far I like what's displayed with trending tweets, weather, my schedule, and news without getting messy. 

 

@mmark27 How long did it take you to get approved from your submission and what did you submit proof of purchase? I just did the lease agreement.

About 24 hours.  I used the Sprint confirmation email from purchase/lease agreement.

Cool! I went with the $100 offer too, I just want to headphones and VR kit. I don't really need another 256 GB microSD.

No issues here at all, mines still works just fine.  Just keep in mind that if you are outside in the day time its basically not going to work though.

Didn't realize you said face unlock, I thought you meant the iris scanner.  I think part of the update was to improve the face detection but I haven't set that up, I've only been using the fingerprint and the iris scanner.

This phone seems to generally have a really good radio. I'm getting 23 Mbps over Band 25 on my college campus.

So I'm going to guess that if I charge my phone with day 30%or more that it's basically screwing the battery up right? Is it true that you should wait till around 5%? Also I put on that liquid glass and it's amazing. Fyi

What you are talking about is a thing of the past.  Just plug it in whenever you want some juice.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
