Samsung Galaxy S8 & Dual Sim/Duos

This was my theory from the get go! Crazy how it totally skewed Sprint's performance in the PC Mag testing. Good to see them go back to PC Mag and point the issue out.

 

Also as has been pointed out, this latest update changed the band priority to what it should be.

 

But even after the update some still say it lags in overall B41 performance.

This was last months update but since the new update from Saturday B41 has definitely gotten worse. Maybe a new bug doing the same thing.

Compared to the LG G6, it's quite similar. We need to do more testing.

Did you mean to say way longer now? Mine sure doesn't and B41 at 123dBm doesn't work hpue doesn't work.

Before this update it was better and now it's worse. ????

Would be amazing. If only such a phone existed. [emoji7]

I've noticed no difference with HPUE on the S8.

Sprint basically proved that HPUE is over hyped. The fact that the S7 is still faster overall even though it's not HPUE and 85% of people received the update to fix the problem confirms it.

It's on a perfect signal. Go the the edge of it with a GS7 and then you will see what I mean.

I have compared it to the G6 and after latest update they seem quite close.

 

They switch bands within seconds of each other. But something about the GS8 radio is still odd.

If that's the case then the G6 must not be the best b41 performer either.

I do have access to my sisters Note 5, and after changing the band priority I found that it (GS8) held onto B41 longer. I will try to snatch it up today to compare..

 

But for some reason, its just not as fast in download speeds, so it seems at the edge it becomes sketchy.

It's different now. With the June security update the band priority was changed to b41 first by default and somehow it is not as good as the May security update was so don't be surprised if the Note 5 is better all of a sudden.

My case for hpue was note 5 usable at -122 signal compare to s8 .i got 14mbps download at -122 before I'm s8 . The 30 percent in coverage is total bs my s8 always drop band 41 in same area as my note 5.i also notice when I show 3 carriers band 41 in engineering but not on signal pro check only shows 2 carriers. Speeds very slow still.

SCP does not show CA status at all. It shows which carrier is the PCC only. For 3xCA you have the PCC (primary carrier, which is used for upload) and 2 SCCs. The PCC is essentially random to load balance between them.

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
