Galaxy S9 Series user thread


SturgeonGeneral

Recommended Posts

I managed to complete what I assume was a VoLTE call on my unlocked S9+. I was talking on the phone using WiFi Calling and the other person on the other end complained that I started getting choppy. I saw was that my phone was reconnecting to WiFi, meaning somewhere in the middle of my call, my WiFi went out and LTE took over but I didn't notice until my WiFi came back.

Is taking forever to update it. I’m getting annoyed.

LOL. The S8 just got their April security update before we did. :)

It was pulled for all S9 phones for some reason that hasn't been fixed.

What's the holdup with the 8.1 update

As seen with the S7 and S8, Samsung does not do .1 updates anymore. I guess it's not important enough to them.

This is Samsung here, we haven't had an update since post-release before most people got their phones. Whereas the S7 and S8 have gotten two-three.

It's been months now since the S9 was released, a company the size of Samsung surely can push a stable update.

But why can't they push monthly security updates though? I like to have a very secure device you know just like everybody else :-)

So Sprint is telling me LTE Roaming with USCC is not possible on S9+, any one done any LTE roaming??

That's totally false. It's definitely possible because the phone supports the proper bands for u.s. Cellular roaming so it might be just a provisioning thing but the hardware is there to support it

I knew that much, but why they locking us out of it since it's native.

The coverage map shows LTE roaming is available for both the S9 and S9+.

Exactly what I told Sprint, still working with some other contacts there to find out some info.

    • 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.
