I upgraded to the unlocked S9 plus. Does this not support WiFi calling and 25+26CA?

I don't think Sprint is aggregating Band 25 and Band 26 anywhere currently. Also to activate WiFi calling you have to go into the dialer settings. It's at the bottom.

Actually someone did find it in California. Which dialer setting is it?

You can't, it's almost over. 

My Google Photos won't backup and sync on Beta 4. Serious problem for me. I've tried all I can think of short of a full factory reset, which I'm not inclined to do as I'm betting it'll still not work after that.

Hmm, my phone says backup complete from my photos from yesterday.....

Google photos giving you an error or what's up?

No, no error, just says it's backing up photos but never does. The Betas on the S8 did this and was super frustrating. Only this 4th beta is doing it now.

Well, it looks like it's back up and syncing again. I deleted the app, rebooted, wiped cache in recovery, then reinstalled and let it recover all photos. new ones finally synced. What a hassle. I did find out that this Beta reset all my custom notification noises for things like Textra, Gmail, Twitter, etc.

I noticed there is a new sound when you plug in your charger.

Photos saved on an SD card or internal? 
I don't have access to my photos right now. I had the S8 which crapped out so I can't access it. I bought it to CPR to get my stuff to my new S9 plus.

For real??  That's crazy. Wow, had no clue it would still let you in. Welcome and enjoy the bugs! ;) There aren't that many.

It's quite stable, go ahead a pull the trigger, you are a daring fella. There are only a few oddities, like my photo issue from above. A big one for folks has been calling on Sprint network using the Calling Plus LTE Calling features. Where the call connects but neither side can hear anything, just dead air. My WiFi Calling can be a bit spotty too. This is reportedly solved in the Beta 4, but I haven't had a chance to test it out much yet. Others have  reported mobile data loss, but that can be recovered with a reprovisioning of the Sprint parameters ##SCRTN# from the dialer IF you run into this issue, don't need to do it if you don't.

Unlocked s9+ supports wifi calling. You have to enable it on sprint.com first and then enable it on your phone. 
I'm just curious does anyone else have an unlocked s9 and is still on November 1 security patch? Or are all the Dec 1 patch updates for those in the beta program? 
Beta for now. Full release is still on a Nov patch. Rev ...ark5

    • 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.
