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

So I pulled the trigger and turned in my S7 for the S8, love the phone but one thing that is irking me is this phone loves B26. At my house my S7 would stay parked on 1900 inside (-96 to -100) the S8 camps out on 800.

No B41 in your area?

It's weird how that works -- I've had mine for what a month now, and it's never LEFT band 41... at least not on my home tower.

Looks like your in MN also. How long has B41 been in your area? I'm just curious.

Rule # 1 - Anytime a phone does not act the way it really should, power down and reboot from scratch.

Rule # 2 - if it still ain't fixed, repeat rule # 1.

There are 5 of us in the ED1500 plan. After discounts, we each pay ~$47.

The ED1500 really is a great plan, something I think was a great offer by Sprint, which I believe if they introduced a similar plan, it could become highly successful in helping Sprint gain many new subscribers. Is it correct the $47 monthly includes the installment pricing rate costs?

 

It sounds to me it might be, considering that back a few years ago when someone offered a line on their ED1500 plan to me, the plan total for my part of the overall payment prior to the device, was $35 monthly, then adding what I believe was $20 or $25 monthly additional for the Samsung Note 5 payment after the $15 monthly loyalty discount, which I had the added cost for the one-year installment or lease on (I don't remember exactly which right now).

 

I'm a major supporter of service packages, if they give a good deal for one, that is.

Ok, after months of research and online help, I've finally unlocked my phone per my original OP post.

I would love to try this but first I have to make sure this doesn't effect Sprint software updates. When we get the next security update let me know if it goes through for you.

So I just did the new update, and phone is still unlocked, swapped out the Sprint SIM for AT&T and it worked great.

 

Side question... this update gives us a Bixby update, but I still don't think it does any voice commands, correct? I didn't see any way to do voice commands. I'm trying to give it a chance before abandoning it and sticking with Google Assistant.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      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.
