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

Started to do that to me too. I cleared cache and data and it seems ok again.

I have no clue how to do that

Go to settings, go to apps, find Callar ID, click storage, click clear data and cache.

Hmm I feel dumb but maybe not, just realized the S8+ has a flash on the front camera. Never seen anything on reviews about it, saw the option earlier and used it amazing. I imagine that goes for the S8 as well, but as I said I knew nothing about it.

Yeah, lots of phones have that feature, they just use the screen as a flash, it works great most of the times.

The ability to hide the nav bar is pretty awesome. Having the whole screen available for use is amazing and will likely help prevent burn-in going forward.

 

Finnily enough, the option is enabled by default in the settings.

I think they knew people were not gonna be happy with a white nav bar (to avoid burn in maybe) so they mitigated it with a "hide nav button". Good idea...

This is great. I often accidentally hit the soft keys with so many apps having a bottom navigation bar for choices.

One other thing I noticed, the pressure sensitive home button still works without the nav bar present within any app which is awesome.

FYI... the unlock still remains after the update. Actually the phone seemed to identify the card a lot faster. As soon as I turned the phone over and swiped down it already knew it was an ATT card where before it would take longer to read the card.

As long as you're using easy pay any phone you buy through Sprint is automatically unlocked. Learned this last week when I let my friend borrow my Note 5 for use on Verizon. :P

Are you sure about that? The Sprint policy is that you're out of contract, phone is paid off, and it's been 50 days active on the Sprint network. Maybe if you're on Easy Pay that satisfies those rules, but it seems like it wouldn't if you're still paying on it.

 

I had mine unlocked by a guy on eBay (as did a couple others in this thread), thus reasoning for my post.

I still have a few payments left on my Note 5 but I am on Easy Pay, what I posted before is straight from Sprint. I know this because I called to ask them about unlocking and they say we can't do anything it's already unlocked. :P

Do any of you think the hiding navigation bar is a dig at Apple?

 

It has been rumored that their next phone will be have no home button on the front much like the GS8, perhaps opting for an in screen home button like the GS8.

 

I just wish more Android apps implemented swiping right to go back like iOS apps. Relay for Reddit does this and it's so useful. I also wish that they added the ability to doible tap the home button to access recent apps.

Did you put the S8 on Easy Pay? Just wondering how you are paying on the Note 5 still if you upgraded.

Understand. I went into BB last week to see my options to upgrade to the S8+ since they had a good deal of $300 off the phone so it would be $550 on Easy Pay.

I have 3 payments left on my Note 5. So my options are to 1) Give Sprint my Note 5. 2) Pay off the remaining payments.

      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

      By dkyeager · Posted

      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.
