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

BTW my msl was 000000. I'm thinking every device msl is 000000. Only other time I've seen a msl like that was on unlocked Nexus devices.

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

They just approved my submission, but not sure if I'm getting the $100 offer, since it looks like it's out of stock. ????

How long from the approved to getting the link?

 

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Didn't we already talk about this? :)

 

About 24 hours after I entered, I got a confirmation with the option to buy then. And I did. When I first signed up, it gave me a button to buy but the button didn't work.

Looks like you got yours pretty quickly.

Yup. I order on the 19th but didn't get my shipping confirmation until just before midnight on the 20th and by noon of the 21st, I had it in my hand.

 

They did one day shipping.

In my limited observations my Note 5 actually holds on to b41 better. But this is only after 2 hours of observations. In a day or two I will really know if HPUE was over hyped or not.

Perhaps it has something to do with the Note 5 having Exynos, instead of Qualcomm.

 

This reminds me of something, and your posts relating to your smartphone observations have been very helpful with this, Terrell...

 

I've noticed your mentioning of how certain smartphones you've used, how they have held band 41, etc. This, combined with issues such as the Apple iPhone modem debate, have caused me to think more about how smartphones are made an sold, particularly compared with computers.

 

I really don't like the way of how smartphone models are introduced, with new "flagships" by each company happening around twice per year. It seems inefficient and wasteful. Yet, I'm not supportive of the modular system either with smartphone teardowns, replacements, and upgrades.

 

The system I'd like to see in place, is an ordering system for a one-time, non-modular build up of custom-made smartphones built by available parts, similar to how an individual can place an order for a custom-built gaming laptop/notebook computer. I think this would be a better way of doing things.

 

Of course, I realize some may disagree with me, which is fine. There are several different ideas about smartphone manufacturing, marketing, and selling, which I was glad to mention mine, especially in acknowledgement to Terrell's influence in my thinking about this and to S4GRU site, in general.

This is my opinion and observation , hpue band 41 definitely not covering same as band 25.This phone almost identical signal on band 41. But I did notice this s8 hang on band 26 up -140 But never drop 3g areas I was on getting 3g. Definitely not band 41 monster that I was expecting ,but I am still plenty good with phone and signal. I like know other people's opinion

      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....
