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

I'm glad that the Samsung Messages notification stopped in the new update. Facebook's app still freezes while scrolling through  back lot of comments or comments  with media in them so convinced it's a problem with the app as opposed to Samsung. I reported it to Facebook so hopefully someone in the chain will onow how to fix it. For now I'm using the Facebook Lite app and it's working pretty well.

Looks like they've pulled the Beta due to a process.android.com fatal error.

I haven't experienced this yet, but it seems like there is an easy fix if you encounter it by going into your settings. The update will probably be re-released later this week.

Wow! This 2nd update has made my phone useless. I have to go back to official software. 

Yeah this second update is horrible. If someone calls me my whole phone freezes. Also Youtube will stop working all of a sudden. I may go back to official build but I will give it a few days.

ha ha, yeah, I did this last week and I was amazed at how UNstable the beta actually was. :)

In reality the "benefits" of Oreo aren't that apparent especially if you use Nova Launcher. The PiP is cute, but not very necessary and that's about it.

How do you roll back without needing to reinstall everything?
I don't think that's possible. It wipes the phone. However, if you are patient enough, Samsung Cloud/backup/whatever will replace everything, granted it's backing up your apps and app data. I'm usually too impatient and just start fresh.

Still on Beta 2 on my 955U1.  It is so much more stable and smoother than the 1st Beta.  Also, a HUGE improvement in battery life (during both Idle and Use).  No Phone App issues.

You're using the locked Sprint model GS8, right?

 

Unlike for Beta 1, though, I performed a Factory Reset after updating to Beta 2.  Restored my data using Samsung Cloud and Helium.

Has anyone seen any deals coming for the S8 Active on Sprint? I see that new customers can get it at 1/2 off tomorrow, but anything for existing customers?? I think this would be the ideal phone for my parents. No need to use a big ass case and the huge battery would be good for them as well. Hoping to save anything I can on these. Looking to order tomorrow unless there's any internal information on coming Black Friday deals.....

Had lots of issues with beta 2 as well but after wiping system cache, everything started working as intended. No freezes or any other issues.

I'm going for the GS8 today or tomorrow. 

 

Just FYI, Best Buy has a deal with either $350 with installment payments OR a $350 gift card with a lease.  I'm going to do the lease.  Ends Saturday.

      T-Mobile interferes with NextWave's network, FCC finds https://www.lightreading.com/5g/t-mobile-interferes-with-nextwave-s-network-fcc-finds At this point, T-Mobile should just open up the checkbook and pay whatever it takes together rid of NextWave for good.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Flashback (January 11, 2018): Sprint Says No to mmWave, Yes to Mobile 5G https://www.lightreading.com/5g/sprint-says-no-to-mmwave-yes-to-mobile-5g Sprint's CTO said Wednesday that he is not sure that using millimeter waves to deliver 5G services is a practical economic use of the high-band spectrum and that Sprint will be focusing on using its existing bandwidth to deploy 5G, at least initially. "What is the cost to deliver a bit over millimeter waves? Where is the business case on that?" John Saw asked at the Citi conference in Las Vegas. The logic here is that using sub-6GHz networks to deliver 5G -- Sprint Corp. (NYSE: S) is using 2.5GHz -- will allow operators to get better coverage than mmWave (typically 28GHz or 39GHz) and re-use its infrastructure.

      It looks like they have 700mhz of 24ghz n258 in those areas anyway. Seems like they've been trying to streamline mmw to just n258 anyway.

      New n261 license reduction for Brooklyn and Queens kinda gives insight into T-Mobile's mmWave plans going forward. While it sucks that they aren't going to widely deploy it in the outer boroughs, they chose great areas to retain the license. Downtown Flushing, Long Island City, Dumbo, Greenpoint, and Williamsburg all make the cut which is pretty obvious given their density.  I'm surprised to see Red Hook make it in and the entire waterfront along Sunset Park. Maybe they plan on some mmWave small cells along 1st Ave in Industry City. Also looks like they retained the license in the party section of Bushwick/East Williamsburg where Elsewhere, House of Yes, Brooklyn Mirage, etc. all are so that would be cool to see get covered in mmWave. In Queens they scooped up Citi Field, Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, and all of Flushing Meadows Park which should be helpful for all of the festivals that take place in that part of Queens. Also looks like they kept the license for LGA but not for JFK.
