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?

Holy tits batman wonder why it took so long.

Glad to see this version has adaptive battery mode enabled by default, hopefully it helps with idle battery life! Running smooth though can't wait for the stable version.

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.....

Hmph, my photos from SD are the issue. SD is fine too, not corrupted. 

[imex99]

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. 

[mmark27]

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.

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.

I noticed that also, I kinda like it.

[SturgeonGeneral]

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
