I'll post the steps later on my lunch break. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk

Got Calling Plus working again on both the Unlocked GS8+ & Unlocked GS9+. Now Sprint just needs to keep their promise & release their Google Play Visual Voicemail app. Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk

Following that guide from XDA, were you able to activate Calling Plus on your Unlocked Galaxy S9+? It's not working on mine - both the GS8+ & GS9+. The guide is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/sprint-calling-plus-update-unlocked-s8-t3730053 And it says: Guys, I found a way to make VoLTE calling work on my unlocked s8 plus. 1. In Nova launcher add widget -> Activities 2. Add LTE Test -> click VoLTE Test UI-> turn on first 2 setting. 3. Add Enhanced LTE Services and select this option. 4. Restart and enjoy. ======= For those with a Sprint model GS8 or GS9 with working Calling Plus, would you mind posting a screenshot of that VoLTE Test UI screen? Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk

LTE Test is under com.test.LTEfunctionality and Enhanced LTE Services is under Mobile on my device. credit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/sprint-calling-plus-update-unlocked-s8-t3730053 ===== Is this workaround still working for you? I noticed just yesterday that Calling Plus stopped working on my Unlocked GS8+ with a Sprint SIM (same SIM card). Only things that changed on the GS8+ is that, one, I performed a factory reset and two, I transferred out my phone number into a different phone (Galaxy S9+) and transferred in another Sprint number (my mom's). I set the settings multiple times, rebooted, but no go. I tried the workaround on my Unlocked Galaxy S9+ with a Sprint SIM card & it's the same thing. I did notice that Sprint was or is doing some tower configuration around my area (1x800mhz popped up briefly in Signal Check Pro). Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk

Yup, no update on my 955U1. I was hoping for the official update to drop before giving the phone to my mom. Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk

Me too, and I haven't even picked up my GS9+ yet. Hoping the S10 will have a more drastic design change such as under-glass FPS and ~99% screen-to-body ratio.

I stopped by a corporate Sprint store & showed the associate your table & he sold me this card. The BYOD SIM Kit number on the package, which is on the bar code, shows a matching number: 760492036429. It also says BYODSKVer3.0 UPC on the card says: 854798005170 Part #: SIMOLW506TQ On the SIM card & underneath the ICCID, it says: SOI0002a. The tech said it'll work with the S9/S9+. Is this true, you think? Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Thx. Was he at least right about that SIM card working with the Unlocked Note 8? If so, Sprint is changing up SIM cards again so soon just a few months after the release of the Note 8? Is the Sprint store the only place right now to buy that SIM card you mentioned on Reddit? Couldn't find it on Amazon or Sprint.

I went to Best Buy today to pick up a SIM card for my upcoming Unlocked Galaxy S9+. I went in looking for SIM card part # SIMOLW416Q Galaxy S8, but was sold SIM part #: SIMGLW416Q. The Best Buy Mobile rep said that's the one they sell to customers with an Unlocked Note 8. So was I given the correct SIM card? Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Same sentiment here. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Oh yea, it had horrible GPS for me. And the crazy battery drain. [emoji38] But it was my first smartphone & I was so thrilled with everything I could do, especially after Root. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

I'm just so-so about it. The phones I was most excited about were the Galaxy S2, Galaxy S4, and Nexus 5, in that order from highest to lowest. With smartphones becoming like the PC landscape in terms of true performance jumps & design improvements, it's gotten iterative. I'm only getting the S9+ b/c mom wants a change from her GS7 Edge, the GS7E has a $300 trade-in offer, and I'm gonna give her my mint GS8+. Plus, after all my Best Buy gift cards & certificates, my final balance is like -$200. I would've been more excited if the GS9 offered underscreen FPS, UFS expansion cards, and the centimeter GPS chip (still not 100% confirmed). Hoping the next Galaxy S (if the S moniker is kept) will be more impressive. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

I see. Last year in July, the SIM card was still free. Oh well.
-
Did Sprint change their policy in regards to shipping SIM cards to customers? Last year, Sprint sent me a GS8+-compatible SIM card for free. When I called them just now to order another one for my upcoming Unlocked GS9+ phone, they quoted me $0.00 for the SIM card and $10 for shipping. Something kind of new?

Preordered the Unlocked GS9+ from Best Buy. Giving my GS8+ to my mother & trading in the GS7 Edge for $300. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

LTE Test is under com.test.LTEfunctionality and Enhanced LTE Services is under Mobile on my device. credit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/sprint-calling-plus-update-unlocked-s8-t3730053 Yup, I've been using Calling Plus on my 955U1 GS8+ for a while on Oreo Beta. Works very well. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Who is that Craig S person? Sprint engineer? Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

If it's like it was for the GS7 Edge last year, the international unlocked models will get Oreo in January & the US carriers will release in Feb. Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk

I've had good luck with both the Otium and Ottao TGSP's on my GS8+. I don't have any adhesive or sticking issues because after applying the TGSP, I always turn off the phone and heat up the glue with a heat gun on low setting.
-
What a pleasant surprise it came to us so much earlier this time. My DL size is different from the Korean and UK models at 508.03 MB (QL8)(955U1). What was the DL size for the Sprint version?
-
If past is any indication, then it will either be next Monday or Tuesday. Looking forward to improved battery life.
-
Never experienced that bug on the Oreo beta. And I only use wireless charging (Seneo fast charger).
-
It's been the most stable and smoothest one so far. Besides quicker battery drain, which was expected, I'm having no issues. Beta 3 finally fixed the microSD issue which was bugging me through Beta 1 and Beta 2.
-
Same update size this time with the 955U1 model. As for the VoLTE option, I reported it as broken via Samsung Members during Beta 2 and they said they'll look into it.
-
You're using the locked Sprint model GS8, right? Unlike for Beta 1, though, I performed a Factory Reset after updating to Beta 2. Restored my data using Samsung Cloud and Helium.
