I forgot to post that when my phone dropped from WiFi Calling to LTE calling while I was on the phone with Magic Box support, the VoLTE icon popped up in the top right corner. I'm on the OneUI beta with an unlocked S9+.

Nice! We're you connected to the MB while on the call?

I am eagerly waiting for VoLTE on my unlocked S9. It has been incredible frustrating especially here in LA. Google maps is needed to get around unforeseen traffic problems, but will not update if I am on a call. Since I am usually chatting on the phone while driving longer distances, it would be a huge help! Given that Android P seems to be moving through beta well, hopefully it is implemented in the next month or so! If that comes with VoLTE enabled I will be a happy camper.

Side-note I have been with Sprint since 2003 or so. I don't really understand all the concerns with network. It's honestly oddly exciting to keep getting updates instead of having everything just available. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Hopefully you are also using the Google Maps off-line feature for your main driving areas, which would then speed up the traffic reporting when you have data signal since less map data would be needed at that time.  Sprint drive would also help, but of course more $$.

I don't really use google maps offline, since the second I hang up the call it updates instantly. I just have to keep calls short or do the hang up, call back game. Traffic can be so weird in LA. One example, driving from airport at 1 am, there was an accident on a major freeway closing all lanes. If I didn't have maps on it would never have told me to take an earlier exit to avoid a 20 minute parking lot jam. That being said I wasn't on the phone, but this kind of thing happens in large cities all the time. Just knowing the city well won't help at all.

There's a new Beta update out today. It brings back the "close all" button for 3rd party launchers and is very, very snappy and fluid all around. Good updates in this Beta. Still have to try out the LTE calling on this one as the last version was flaky for me when I called my wife on LTE calling. We will see....

Oh yeah, the shutter sound toggle is stiiiiillll there. Hopefully it stays! I'm not holding my breath.

Weird I didn't get a notification from the Samsung Members app about a new update, but there it was glad the clock is fixed had to install Google's clock app which isn't as nice.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
