Nope. Sprint model is in the same boat. Closing in on 3 months without a update.

I just go with unlocked phones. Usually the time between software updates is better.

I would assume with unlocked phones it is better. But I'm curious. Is the update cycle better with T Mobile, or for that matter Verizon, At&t?

Verizon has had the best support. ATT and T-Mobile tied. For example Verizon, T-Mobile and ATT all pushed out the night mode update for the Note 9. V and ATT even pushed them for the S9 and S10. Sprint has only pushed for the S10 and the Note 9 and S9 still don’t have VoLTE.

To be fair, this latest update added night mode for the Note 9.

Sure did! Going to have to test this thing tomorrow while I'm working at the airport.

Speaking of airports, does anyone know the steps one has to take to use the Note 9 overseas, specifically in Spain. I thought it was something simple but I'm not too sure. The Sprint website is not consistent with the answers.

I asked the international folks and this is what I had to do when I went on my cruise this summer.

For Samsung:

Make sure that you are connected to a working Wi-Fi connection.

          1. Go to Settings > System Update.
          2. Tap Update profile.
          3. Once it's done, tap Update PRL.

After the updates disconnect from Wi-Fi, we need to do the following steps:

          1. Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Network > Data Roaming.
          2. Network mode & roaming network should be set to Automatic.
          3. Turn off everything under domestic roaming.
          4. Turn on everything under international roaming.

Just incase you didn't receive the welcome message. Here is the link and all you need to do is to manually put this on your browser.

http://intlroam.sprint.com

    1. Kindly Turn off your Wi-Fi
    2. Open your Cellular Data
    3. Put the link on your browser or click the link inside the welcome message
    4. Follow the steps if you want to purchase the $5/day or $25/week

As we're about to enter October, the September security update is now available. No VoLTE, of course.

Ofcourse not yet. Theres a schedule for when that's to be pushed out. I would say you wouldn't say that next month =p

    • Well.. my power flickered this evening and kicked my cell spot offline. I noticed that my phone still had service, then the 5G UC showed up on my screen. Honestly thought it was just a hang up from the loss and it was not displaying properly... but then I did a speed test and got 250meg down and 30 Meg upload.... apparently they've added n71 here in the past week and I just found it.  For the first time in 10+ years I don't need a box to give my service at home!! Like a kid with a new toy now...yay!  
    • Sounds like a "well you might as well just buy the company" statement
    • Bloosurf is petitioning to deny T-Mobile's request for an STA specifically in their service area. https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp;ATTACHMENTS=Ghl9knTSFp8J4nVm1P9qL4541XR1gy58whH7Yyz0MwGs037gQrNV!-2042069078!-79842837?applType=search&fileKey=1297203795&attachmentKey=21718533&attachmentInd=applAttach Short read but pretty much they're saying that T-Mobile's operations in the BRS/EBS band has been interfering with Bloosurf's LTE-based WISP network and that this has caused them harm (lose customers, etc.) They claim that allowing T-Mobile access to all of the spectrum they bought in or near Bloosurf's service area would cause even more interference. To be fair they aren't wrong. They mention that in 2021 the FCC investigated and determined that T-Mobile was operating outside of its licensed spectrum band there. However, I get the sense that Bloosurf is just trying to stop a competitor from operating in their service area. Typically carriers work this kind of stuff out among each other. Here in NYC, 3/4ths of Brooklyn has 140MHz of n41 deployed and the southern 1/4th of it has 80MHz deployed thanks to an incumbent that leases the spectrum from the archdiocese. In spite of that there are no complaints of interference from NextWave in such a dense environment. Seems to me like Bloosurf just doesn't want to coordinate with T-Mobile and would rather complain to delay the deployment of spectrum for as long as possible. EDIT: It's not just their service area, it's a larger area surrounding their service area as well. Something's fishy about this request. 
    • Really cool blog post from OpenSignal giving a broad overview over the mobile network experience in NYC.  https://www.opensignal.com/2023/03/30/localized-analysis-reveals-huge-network-experience-gaps-between-mobile-users-in-the-us
    • Bit too early to tell imo. It's good news if Dish can stop the hemorrhaging. Q3/Q4 2022 they were able to stop the hemorrhaging. Their previous 6 quarters they lost between 160k and 350k subs each. Their next report will be interesting to see how they were impacted subscriber wise due to the hack.
