Why are you returning the Magicbox if I may ask? If you do return it everything that was included needs to be returned to Sprint including the power bank. I hope people are not getting discouraged with the Magicbox when seeing slower data speeds, RF conditions do and will change as well as the donor site's load depending on time of day and subscriber growth. My Magicbox when I first received it would see download speeds anywhere around 8-12Mbps, as I continued to let it sit in the same spot for a few days speeds increased over 20Mbps with dips below 20Mbps depending on the time of day.

Mine suppose to be delivered tomorrow, I'll post my observations on RF and HPUE tomorrow. My house sits around three Sprint cell sites, two of them running 2500MHz.
-
UPS hasn't even received the phones yet, a shipping label has been created which has put the phones into the UPS system to be ready for pickup. UPS will probably have them in their possession by 2PM today and on plane by 7-8PM, most of will receive S9's by tomorrow or no later than Wednesday. UPDATE: My S9 was just received at the Louisville, KY hub as of 9:40AM.

Mine says shipped with a UPS tracking number but doesnt have a delivery date yet.

Its fine by me! Sprint service is great in my area, unlimited data, free Hulu, new Galaxy every year, whats not to love!
-
Thanks Sprint! I still had 2 months before I could upgrade w/ Galaxy Forever but Sprint allowed me to upgrade without paying the remaining 2 months off. Congrats! We've made you eligible to upgrade early to the new Samsung Galaxy S9 for $33/mo. Experience features reimagined when you skip the line to pre-order today. Plus, get FREE shipping when you order online.

Dang May 12th, that feels like forever when ordering a new phone!
-
I'd let it sit in the same place you had it originally and let itself optimize over the next day or so. Do you know if it's getting its back-haul from the same cell site (has the ID changed)?
-
What kind of CINR levels are you getting after the firmware update? My MB had the same update and it took it a day or two to get itself optimized and back into the swing of things.
-
Yep same here. ?
-
For Galaxy Forever how is this going to work since none of us has had the S8 even 12 months yet?
-
True, so what gives then? I click on the upgrade now and it shows I can turn in my S8 for $0.00.
-
Galaxy Forever, got the same deal through email and even got a notification to pre-order and upgrade through the MySprint app. Trading in my S8 for the S9+.
-
So my MB GCI and PCI has changed, anyone else seen this? Also speeds ranged from 10 to 15Mbps but after the changes I'm getting 30+ Mbps now.

I'll add my MagicBox experience, recieved my MagicBox today and followed the simple directions and setup. Now my Sprint service was never bad or terrible but more on the side of fair to good seeing 800/1900 LTE indoors and 2500 LTE on the south side of my house if I was outside with speeds ranging from 5Mbps to 20Mbps depending on the time of day. So after finding a place to put this box of awesomeness where my OCD self thought it looked ideal and in optimal conditions plugged it in where it would finally rest, after all the configuration it decided on B41 (Band 41 High 2628000) instead of B25. My initial thoughts on the MagicBox is the range! Coming home my phone jumped on the MB over a block away! What I am kind of meh on is the speed seeing 10 to 20Mbps but the user count is 7 according to the MB so 5 other neighbors around me are hitting the MB as well. As far as topography my house sits the highest in our hilly neighborhood and I know 2.5 was non existent on the north facing side of the house which the MB filled quite nicely, add 7 other happy Sprint customers. Note: When I left after setting up the MB the CINR was around 2.3 dB upon checking the screen 6 hours later it has climbed up to 7.2 dB. So it seems this little box is still optimizing itself. Update: CINR is now up to 8.6 dB.

Sprint VoLTE Discussion Thread Redux
JossMan replied to lilotimz's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
I haven't noticed until now but under access points I'm showing LTE ims as one of the options, is this beginning of VoLTE? -
Never had that issue.

Sprint VoLTE Discussion Thread Redux
JossMan replied to lilotimz's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Tri-Cities, TN area is ready for VoLTE based upon my observations using Calling Plus on my S8. Glad to finally hear that Sprint is making the move to VoLTE, gonna be a great year for Sprint. -
I need this CRAP right now!
-
Yep using it on my Galaxy S8 time to map map map!
-
Average around 12-16Mbps during the day 25+Mbps after 10pm or so. Site is only 4x B25 5x5MHz CA isnt configured yet on my site and 5x5MHz B26. Speeds are more consistent and stay on B25 90% of the time indoors.
-
5MHz CA
-
I'm in a Ericsson market where they have been deploying additional antennas for B25 4x MIMO, my closest tower has seen this low key upgrade. I've noticed a more stable signal on B25 as well as more consistent speeds.
-
Yea and 4x MIMO is enabled for B25 as well.
-
A user on the r/Sprint Reddit is reporting VoLTE on iPhone. Is VoLTE coming to fruition on the Sprint network or is this some type of Calling Plus feature within iOS that has been activated? Thoughts?
