I got my second official Samsung case for this phone. Samsung has really stepped it up in terms of case quality over the past few years. I initially had the LED cover case which I like a lot but it's not great for one handed use. I ordered the gray leather case on Wednesday evening and it arrived today. It's more of a cross between gray and brown which I prefer to an actual gray case. It's also super thin which I love. I can see myself switching between both cases a lot.

Night and day difference so far just got to work, phone is working and I had no issues streaming Spotify on the way in.

Screen protector is great, well done Samsung. I do have to say, this phone is a beast for rf performance, I'm at work in the basement and I haven't dropped to 3G yet, still holding onto 2-3 bars of LT

I got two cases from Samsung myself - a white silicone case and the red leather case.  Both are slim and nice in their own respective ways.  

Compared to their older silicone cases, however, the cases have become thinner thus providing less drop protection.

The leather case has become thinner and slippier than before, offering a bit less grip.

But I still like them both.

I ended up returning the S10e and grabbing a S10+. Missed the screen size after coming from an iPhone XS Max. While not a fan of the curved display, a case helps mitigate some of my issues with it. Also the FPS seems better now that I've sort of figured it out. 

Went with a navy blue leather case from Samsung. I like it. Slim, feels nice in the hand and will get grippier as it ages. Pretty much no drop protection, but I haven't shattered a phone screen in probably 8 years and I normally run my phone's without a case *knock on wood*.

I have read other places it works best if you register your thumbs twice, once when holding the phone and again when it's on a desk or something that it helps the recognition. Mine is light years faster since I took the screen protector off, but it should work regardless.

I registered my two fingers twice, works 99% of the time now.

S10 5g phone looking tempting even though I probably won’t see 5g for several years.  Price seems to have been lowered from previous estimates.

I saw on reddit and another site that it's rumored Sprint/Samsung will be pushing an update for the mobile data issues on 3/27 (Wed). Hopefully that will solve the issues some of us have been having with slow or no data.

There's plenty of us who are having issues. I have zero data on Band 25 and on Band 2 with T-mobile. It's different for everyone though. Some have no issues, some have issues like me with only one band, and others have zero connectivity. Another weird thing is I have decent download data but my upload on B41 and B26 is excruciatingly slow. There's obviously something going on with this phone. There's plenty of people complaining about it on Twitter and reddit. I just hope the software update fixes it.

I'm sure there are issues I'm just not having any, hope this update fixes everything. This phone has been phenomenal for me in every regard.

Reddit users with issues are reporting the update does nothing to fix the issues.

Apparently Sprint nor Samsung has a clue what is going on then.

What reddit thread are you looking at? The only thread I see on the https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxyS10 about it is they said it didn't work, but that also there is a Sprint network issue in their area. So unknown if it improved the constant roaming issues?  

On the Sprint forums, it's just someone relaying that there was an update to all the threads, which is annoying: https://community.sprint.com/t5/Samsung/bd-p/Sammy

That is the main thread, and there's a few more that people have made this morning from the update not helping.

FYI, I'm not having issues in Milwaukee.  Friend in Chicago is.  It sounds like it might affect some markets and not others which probably makes the diag more difficult

Excellent, thank you. I'm just keeping track of this in case my parents' phones start having issues (they're in STL). They'd be very poorly equipped to deal with any of this. My phone and my wife's are fine here in Madison, no issues to report data-wise at all.

I wonder if it has something to do with provisioning/programming the device.  You'd think if there were a bunch of defective S10s that other carriers would report the same issues and it would be big news.  I find it hard to believe that a defect only affects one or two Sprint bands in some phones.

If you do a profile update, even on mine that to this point has been fine, it takes quite a while or even fails.  My S8 or other phones would almost immediately complete a profile update.

But it is frustrating that they obviously don't know what the problem is because the update today made no difference or some think even worse!?

Love how they detail nothing in this update it's just an "update".

Yeah, thats surprising considering it comes in at over 500mb.  I would expect to have a more detail overview.

The new update hasn't fixed the data issue for me. I guess I'm going to have to contact Sprint about my options. 
I'm having data and dropped calls with Sprint. I've turned volte off also.

I drop down to 1x800 and drop calls and lose LTE.


Executive services put in exchange request. Should know tomorrow...e603b8869a259d227aac190ddf96d550.jpg9c2335e3e9e4b6b6609e4c320edeb466.jpg

Sprint's community post has been updated, and says if you still get no data issues, then the only option is to exchange it.

Damn looks like there are some defective units out there.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      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.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
