I am coming from the beta. The beta was already good.  I am already used to my S9 so seems slow. Lol

It is.  It will pickup B41 great just like the S9.  Varies on markets, S9's speedtest on B41 is slightly better than S8.  In my market that is the case.  Some in NY seeing 200+Mbps.  I only see 100Mbps average which my S8 been able to do.

One week in with the S9+ and this thing blows the S8+ away in speed and the camera. My gawd, the camera has really improved. Sharpness of photos is far, far, far better. Hyperlapse is a clever camera mode I find myself using it with the kids pretty frequently. Zoom actually ends up with sharp photos too.

Oh yes I definitely agree the S9 plus camera is a dramatic Improvement.

Reviews says it's not worth the upgrade, I call bs it's a huge difference in performance in every aspect.

Well, reviewers usually don't live with these devices as their daily drivers. So they likely don't run into the quirks that we might run into over the course of a year with the old device. You are welcome to call BS, but I think you'd be pretty surprised as I was. Even with a freshly built S8+ like I had in the weeks prior to my switch, it was far slower than this S9+....and it should be, I sure hope. If anything I'd get it for the finger print scanner location. :)

Commenting in here since its more active...

 

I recently got the S8 Active and have been unable to get a single HD Voice call.

 

I disabled wifi calling in the phone and at the account level, and it hasnt fixed it.

I am in the same location as with the old phone, and I am calling other Sprint customers (including on my plan).

Any advice?

Do you guys have problems with your S8 freezing from Time to time? Mine keeps doing that?

Nope that never happens to me. It's actually the most consistent Galaxy device I have ever owned.

I've had times where it's "slow" or sluggish, but never frozen.

    • 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.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
