Unlocked 935U received the November Patch~! Installed last night~!!
-
Still on Beta 2 on my 955U1. It is so much more stable and smoother than the 1st Beta. Also, a HUGE improvement in battery life (during both Idle and Use). No Phone App issues.
-
Downloading the 2nd Beta now~!! (955U1)
-
Maybe because my phone is the 955U1 Unlocked Model, I'm not experiencing any major or even moderate issues. For me, I'm just having trouble with 2 apps that keeps losing focus and kicking me out to the Homescreen after a few minutes (Flipboard and News on Android). I have about 190 apps installed. And, of course, the battery drain rate is worse than Nougat but that was to be expected.

Can you guys report the issue to Samsung on behalf of 950U1 & 955U1 Unlocked users with a Sprint SIM card inside the Samsung Users Beta Feedback app? Many of us successfully enrolled into the Beta program but we aren't getting the Beta software. It seems to affect only the 950U1 & 955U1 GS8 users with a Sprint SIM. Thanks in advance.

All you people who successfully registered into the Beta program and have downloaded the software, are you guys on the Sprint GS8/GS8+? Is anyone on the 955U1 Unlocked Model? I made it into registration but my 955U1 GS8+ doesn't find the Beta update. I tried restarting the phone already. I got in around 10:15 AM PST.

My preorder GS7 Edge picked up on 3/7/2016 is still going strong. Absolutely no issues. I only had the battery replaced once with a new free one under Samsung warranty.

Still a pipedream thx to Mexico. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk -
Sorry to hear your GS7 has died. Has this kind of premature death happened to many of your Samsung phones? If you don't want a Samsung phone anymore, I think your idea about getting the Pixel 2 is a good idea (not the XL). Fast & 3-years-long Google updates, great camera, good screen, and front-facing speakers.

I love my Unlocked GS8+ (Blue Coral). No Sprint bloat, no other bloat, and everything is snappy and fast. No battery issues. No issues at all, really. I'm just looking forward to the Oreo update.

Have you tried a Factory Reset?

I've had my Unlocked Coral Blue GS8+ since end of July and it's still going strong. No software issues or weird shenanigans. I attribute a lot of that to being on the Unlocked 955U1 firmware. I still kept my 935U Galaxy S7 Edge and it too is going strong on the Unlocked firmware. I think most of these issues are coming from Sprint messing with the ROM too much with their bloat and other crap. The only issue I've had so far was when Google updated their Google app, my battery began to drain a lot faster - ~5%/hr instead of the normal ~2%/hr. A simple reboot took care of that. Google is still my NUMBER ONE enemy for battery life. I"m hoping Oreo will take care of Google.

Sprint isn't bringing it back as an option for everyone but as a targeted offer for certain people. So far this year, I've been getting 2-year contract offers for the GS8, GS8+, and the Note 8.

How do I search for S4GRU in Tapatalk? I can't even find it anymore.
-
Anyone else having this issue? "Ok Google" voice commands do not work when the phone is plugged in & charging. The prompt appears but when I speak, it's as if the microphone isn't working. Off the charger, everything works fine. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Calling Plus isn't enticing enough for me to flash the Sprint 955U ROM. ???? Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

Sounds promising. Hopefully the 955U1 GS8+ will get that update as well. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

Today I was at the Zara clothing store inside South Coast Plaza - a known Sprint deadzone for both voice & data - and to my surprise, I got an alert from SignalCheck Pro that I was connected to Sprint 1x800 voice. https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BzXeLw4AsxZHQXBCb0lQQVhlRWM And going deeper inside the store, I didn't lose voice nor data this time. SignalCheck Pro reported that I was still on B41. I guess Sprint is making improvements to this area. I've sent several reports to Sprint about this dead zone through their app.

I suppose you're right but it sure is getting frustrating waiting on Sprint to demonstrate perceivable improvements in the areas where competitors have either improved or are doing well already. Back on the topic of GS8, the phone is slowly but surely winning me over despite my initial reluctance and skepticism to upgrade from my GS7E. The GS7E is now with my mother and her old Note 3 has become one of my backup phones. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the TGSP situation is a lot better for the GS8 family than it was for the GS7 family. I purchased a case-friendly TGSP from Otium on Amazon and it was a perfect fit with no loss of touch sensitivity & no "rainbow smear" artifacts. For the back glass, I've protected it with a clear film from IQ Shield. As long as I have a case on it, finding & using the FPS has been a nonissue. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

It is still too early to congratulate Samsung but since March, the U GS7E has been getting updates monthly. Same for the 955U1 GS8. Samsung has, so far, improved their support for the USA Unlocked models. Little by little, they're catching up to Apple's standards. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

That's a surprise since even the 955U1 has been already updated. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

Tested out the GS8+ & its HPUE ability inside the Mission Viejo mall and its known dead and 3G spots. There were no improvements at all. I brought along my 910C unlocked Note 4 with a T-Mobile mint SIM card and I had strong LTE all around despite the phone not supporting Band 12. I'm getting more certain I'll be leaving Sprint once the remaining 2 lines are finally out of contract. Band 26 would've been good to have but Mexico.... Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

But it is supported regardless. Don't know why they would remove such info. I'm connected to B41 right now. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk
