  1. It was the November 1st security patch. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  2. It is confirmed. The S8 Active has Calling Plus if anyone else wanted to know. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

  4. Anybody know if the S8 Active has Calling Plus yet? I just ordered it for my wife. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

  6. I've been using PS Vue for about a year and a half. It has gotten progressively better and it has almost all the channels I want. I wish they would add A&E and History, but other than that, everything is working well. The DVR is fantastic. ABC is the last local that I'm waiting on, but that should get added soon. I read they signed the contract a couple weeks ago, but it takes time to get added. Cost varies but I have their top package with no premium channels and pay $55 per month. I was paying around $150 per month for Dish before I canceled. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  7. Only data goes through a Magic Box so calls would have to go through a tower until the S7 gets calling plus. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  8. Cool, I'll check it out when I get back in town. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  9. Thank you. If you need anything else, let me know. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  10. Address of the site is 105 E South St, Woodstock, VA. The East facing sector has no data only on B26. B25 and B41 are fine. GCI of the bad sector is OFE1981A. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  11. Anyone know any of Shentel's cellular technicians in the Woodstock, VA area? The tower near my house in Woodstock has a dead B26 carrier just on one sector. I have reported it a couple times in the Sprint app, but a week later and it's still not working. My phone will connect to it, but no data will go through. I really just think Sprint hasn't told Shentel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
  12. From my personal experience, it seems my S8+ will start out on any band, but if it happens to go to B26, it likes to stay there for the remainder of the call, even when getting close to a tower.
  13. It would be nice to know Sprint's timeline and how soon they will start to prioritize voice traffic over LTE (true VoLTE), but I'm sure that's a pretty well guarded secret. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  14. It looks like the update from a few weeks ago was just a precursor. I just downloaded a new update yesterday, Android 7.1.1. So far, it looks pretty good, and maybe seems just a little faster than 6.0. The only thing I wish it had is a built in blue light filter. All the Samsung phone builds have had that in Android 7, but for some reason, they decided to omit it from the Tab E build. One nice feature is they finally put in a quick access button on the drop down for the hotspot. It's so much faster than having to dig through the settings just to turn the hotspot on.
  15. I'm not an apple person, but is there a chance it's not latching onto B26? I could see how that could really limit your range. Otherwise, that's not good if its radio is that weak.
  16. Any chance you are using an older or slower SD card to save your recorded video? If you are, try recording video to device storage and see if that makes a difference.
  17. I usually just leave mine on all the time. It does seem to break up every once and a while, especially during the evening hours when network usage is typically high, so if I'm making an important call or expecting an important call (especially during evening hours), I usually just turn it off. I think this will be solved once Sprint implements true VoLTE, where voice calls get priority. Until then, it's nice, but needs some improvement to be as good as 1x calling. (Of course, what I said above is when connected to LTE, not Wifi.) It's definitely a good first step and it sure is nice to be able to look stuff up online while on a phone call. I've taken advantage of that numerous times.
  18. I have not seen any issues with battery life since turning on calling plus. I'm not saying it's not possible that you could be having problems, but also consider that it could be something else as well.
  19. I just updated my Tab E today to the newest build. It's been since late last year that it got an update, so at least they still are updating the security of it. Did you notice anything else different? It was over 300MB, so I would think that would include something other than security, but I haven't noticed anything else different.
  20. It's easy to turn on and off depending on the area you're in. It's a simple toggle on the pull down.
  21. For those having "random" reboots, there is an auto restart feature that reboots the phone every 7 days. Make sure that is off if you don't want it on. It's in the settings. Sent from my Galaxy S8+ using Tapatalk
  22. My S8+ just had a bunch of updates come through from the Galaxy App Store. Updates included: TouchWiz, phone dialer, edge screen, and the clock. There were other updates too, I just don't use those apps so I didn't update them. Sent from my Galaxy S8+ using Tapatalk
  23. That's a mini macro setup. It appears 2xCA is running on it. The limitation is that it won't be able or do 3xCA like the 8T8R setup. Sent from my Galaxy S8+ using Tapatalk
  24. Looks like I found my first B25 CA. This is outside of Edinburg, VA. It's two 5x5 carriers. I would be curious to know why they haven't enabled a 10x10 carrier, since they have spectrum to do that in this area, but hey, I'll take it. Sent from my Galaxy S8+ using Tapatalk
