Ok cool, it would be nice if I got the black ones, I wish they gave us a choice though.  Mine should be shipped out next week.

Yeah I return the S10 and I got myself an Xbox one x so I'm happier now

Does anyone notice that when you are on a call, above the signal bars, a little green dot flashes?

Proximity sensor.

Ugh, no shipping yet for mine, registered and approved 3/6.

I will say that after I enabled the adaptive battery option and disabled the always on display (even though I really like that feature), my battery life has improved greatly.

Took my phone off of the charger late monday night and I'm just now putting it on the charger with 11% battery left.  I got 3 days and about 12 hours on that one charge with about 4 hours and 42 minutes of on screen time which included youtube, calls, messages, emails but no gaming.  Usage was relatively light since my note 9 is my work horse at the moment but battery life has really impressed me so far.

That's strange, I registered mine on the same day and mine were shipped on friday.

Mine said they were shipped on Tuesday, but fedex says they will not be delivered until tomorrow.

I will definitely say that on a scale of one to attend with my experience what's the S10 is that I would rate it about a 7 out of 10 the really bad battery life that I had even with the machine learning completed and knowing my usage patterns and the adaptive battery option enabled still wasn't that great so it knock three points off what I would put down and say was an excellent phone but to those who like it or power to then

Did you ever have shipping information?

Yes, I received an alert on my phone (from the Shop Samsung app) that they shipped.  I also received an email.  Both had a FedEx tracking number.

Well it says the week of 3/18 so i wouldn't start to worry until next week.  Don't feel bad though, I registered on the 3/7 and mines ship the week of 3/25

Yeah, I know my status bounced back and forth from shipping week of 3/18 and shipping week of 3/25.

Oh ok, mine has said 3/25 the whole time.

Learned something about the WiFi-calling that might help folks here, something I did not know about Apps or App properties/permissions and roaming data restrictions.

Background: WiFi-calling has difficulty working when Sprint cellular signal is weak and/or when roaming, but fine when Sprint cellular signal is strong. Get constant error of location can not be determined, Wi-Fi calling then does not work. 

Maybe partial resolution: Go to Settings (general) > Apps > click overflow menu dots top right > show system apps > search for "calling" > click on Wi-Fi Calling > Mobile data > change "Restrict background data" to "Never" from "while roaming only". 

Doesn't make a ton of sense since WiFi calling isn't using "Mobile Data", but it appears to help get LESS of the above location errors, and Wi-Fi calling actually works when in a limited cellular network environment. Perhaps it is also not causing a timeout in the app? Hard to say. 

I went ahead and set this same permission on a lot of apps that I would like to behave better while roaming like Google, etc.

Thanks much for this.  Probably should also set it to full use while data saver is on.

Didn't even know about the roaming data restrictions until this post.  That probably explains why if you have dropped signal, Google will sometimes wait until native to search etc.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
