Post update, I'm not seeing jitter when using the recents button after I have many apps open. Before it was giving me a flash of my home screen while trying to slide to the previous apps. Seems smoother now. Perhaps that's an unintended fix? but visually more pleasing.

I haven't noticed that issue, everything seems to be the same on my end post update.

Just started playing around with my unlocked S10. I have both VOLTE and Wifi calling. Interesting.

Can you advise where the setting is to turn that on and off?

I don't have a voice networks setting there. Mobile networks is the closest, but no VOLTE option there. Wifi calling is even more hidden, it's in the phone app settings.

Interesting. I checked and it's still there after the update. It's an unlocked S10.

Same thing for my Unlocked Galaxy S9+ - no options to toggle on VoLTE.  Friggin lame of Sprint. 

I have the VoLTE option, however, on my Unlocked Galaxy S10+.

New update G965US6QU4CSC7 out today but still no VOLTE... [emoji852]

What's crazy is it's just the March update but it came in at 527mb. I thought it was volte for sure or maybe allowing for new configurations but I can't find anything. VoLTE issues are coming from all over so I'm guessing that's why they decided not to release it.

Yes update was huge. I also hoped for VOLTE after seeing it was a 500mb file.

I posted some time back about Play store was not updating on my Galaxy S9.  I took it to the local Sprint store on Dodge St in Omaha and they got it going each time (3 separate visits), but the problem persisted.  I finally figured something out.   I have added a paid version of Lookout.  Turns out that I have also added or Lookout added a VPN which activates automatically.  When I disable that, Play store updates, so every so often, I manually disable it a to get Play store to update.  Then the VPN automatically reactivates causing the backlog again.  At least, I have a workaround.

Something odd is up we are almost 2 months without so much as a security update. That's never happened before. At this point the next update has to be VoLTE or they are waiting for the final outcome for the merger before any more software updates go out.

I bought two S-9's at Best Buy to replace two S-7's.  There actually was a Samsung employee at the store that took all 4 phones and used Smart Switch to move everything over to the S-9"s.   A few apps did not transfer but most of them did. I was not sure what was going to happen with the transfer process, so I did remove almost all data and photo's from the old phones. Stored it at home so it would not be lost no matter how any transfer was done.

I think the process went much faster since there was not much data or photo's to transfer.  Watching the Samsung employees do this convinced me that many people could do this at home themselves.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to use Smart Switch between the phones. I see another app call Syncios Samsung transfer.

Any suggestions on good protective cases. Thinking of getting Otterbox
