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.

Still can't believe no VOLTE.... Smfh

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

    • 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.
