Per /u/revik2 (a verified Sprint Corporate Employee) over on Reddit:  As for my opinions on the device so far. It seems like a solid incremental improvement over my Note20Ultra: The m

I'm still having RCS problems so that hasn't been fixed. 

Once my SIM is unlocked I guess I'll need to flash U1 firmware.

I'm even in Google Messages beta program. 

i have the unlocked version, straight from samsung. Its an issue on U1 firmware as well. Ive also been loosing service randomly

*watch me go from 3/4 bars service to nothing, back to service while not doing anything *

I haven't see that issue personally.  Could that be a SIM card issue?

One note on RCS.  On the T-Mobile branded device, RCS seems to work more reliably by using Samsung Messages.

Just noticed this as I hadn't tried using it since, but is the Flashlight option broken after the update for anyone else?  Hoping this is just a software issue and not hardware on my end.  I'm on the direct from Samsung unlocked version particularly here.

Just tested it and it works fine for me. I'm on the TMobile locked S22U.

Working fine on both of my 22 Ultras. AT&T and T-Mobile.

While not as active as mine was.. it looks eerily similar to what my S20 ultra was doing.. It was bouncing in and out of signal/service like crazy, in random areas... Finally they just swapped out my phone for a new note ultra...

If you can easily repeat the issue, I would try for a replacement.

My issue is, where I live there are 3 actual sprint towers and 1 t-mobile tower. When the phone "looks" for connection, it will connect to one of the sprint sites, when it tries to connect to lte 1900 from the tmobile tower, thats where it drops the connection. Ive taken my phone to different towns where they just have tmobile sites and no sprint sites, the issue isn't there with the phone.

I expect more issues like this until they finally kill off the Sprint network. In the fall we will finally know the true T-Mobile network holes.

zzz..  Waiting for April update!  Has been available internationally but I'm guessing the US carriers are taking their time approving it.

Mentions of the update rolling out for Verizon over on Reddit. Likely TMO won't be far behind.

FYI, Samsung is offering 40% off on the GalaxyWatch4+$50 Google Play gift card for new S22 owners. This discount stacks with educational and employer discounts like PerksAtWork. 

After EPP I got the watch, a $50 Google Play gift card, and 60-days of Strava free for $129.59. They even offer free next day pickup at BestBuy.

Link details:

Edit: And an hour after I ordered I got notice my watch was ready for pickup at BestBuy and I already have it.

This 40% off deal also applies to the 45W charger and a number of other accessories. Just go to the store homepage and click on the link that says:

A special offer just for you - As a new Galaxy S22 Series owner, get up to an extra 30% off select Galaxy Watches, Buds and more.

Despite it saying 30% it is taking 40% off for me.

How does this work?  What about over home wi-fi?  What if you switch sims to another carrier?  How long is required?

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
