I had an update on my S8 last week with the May security patch. My wife's S9 is also not seeing anything.

That's me. *99 does not work, nor do I hear the 3 beeps. I am definitely connected to the Airave 4 though.Someone else said it didn't work on their Airave 4. However, we both don't hear the 3 beeps when starting or answering a call.

Just sent one your way! If you need anything else, just let me know.
I thought I replied earlier, but I don't see it now.. if you (or anyone else who connects to an Airave 4) could send a diagnostic report through SCP, I would appreciate it! I only need one report per Airave, but the more I get the quicker I can learn how to properly identify it in SCP. Please note on the report that it's an Airave 4 connection so I can keep track. Thanks!

No problem! I don't have a magic box, and I don't believe anybody near me has one either, since service is so terrible where I am. Do you want me to send some logs your way?
Thanks for sharing! You don't have a Magic Box nearby, do you? Just want to confirm so I can try to make adjustments to SCP.

I do see the same option to whitelist or blacklist numbers for the 4 under manage my Airave.Can you limit which phones (whitelist) use the Airave 4?

I have tried that, but it says the feature code is not valid. Attached is a screenshot while on a call. I essentially have zero voice service from the macro network at my house and this is the only way to get any voice service, so it must be going through the Airave. Maybe the 4 doesn't give an audible signal like the older units do? On another note, does anybody know if there 4 will eventually support VoLTE?Try dialing *99 and see if you hear the pre-recorded message ("You are now within Airave Coverage.").

So it's up and running. Here's a screenshot from signal check pro. It looks like I'm connected to the voice side, but when I place a call I don't hear the 3 beeps.

It has arrived. Probably won't get to hooking it up tonight though.

Mine is being shipped today, arriving tomorrow. I looked at my account and I already have an additional line that says Airave 4, so hopefully I'm good. Last time when I got the 3, it took days to get it working with multiple calls to Sprint, eventually replacing it as defective.Ah! Mine doesn't show it, so I'm going to have issues activating it today!

Just got a call back from Sprint. He was able to put in my order for the Airave 4 today and will send out a return kit for the Airave 3 as well. He said 3-5 days for shipping.

I called just a few minutes ago and was told that they can't put in orders for the Airave 4 right now. He said hopefully by tomorrow or Friday they can take orders. They are going to call me back on Friday with an update.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. I do have an s8 in the Minneapolis market with VoLTE enabled and have been having issues with calls and texts while away from home. I just chalked it up to Sprint being Sprint or the s8 itself, but maybe this is causing my issues? Suppose it wouldn't hurt to swap it and try.Depends what phone you have. The 3 causes issues with VoLTE, and breaks incoming calls and SMS on eCSFB devices (Galaxy S6 era, maybe S7. Pixel 1. Etc). It used to work, but they broke something about a year ago and never fixed it. My guess is that whatever they did broke IMS. On my devices, it messes them up so bad that even when you leave Airave range, it will take 30 minutes or an airplane toggle to get calls and text working again. I ended up having to disable LTE on the Airave (via a firewall rule), leaving it CDMA only. Of course they broke it in what's seemingly the last update to the 3...
The 3 is end of life so won't be getting any fixes or updates. If you have no problems now, then you can keep it if you want. But guests might have issues, and if/when you have a VoLTE device it may cause problems as well. Basically you should eventually upgrade it, but if you aren't having problems there's no rush.

Are there any differences functionality wise between the 3 and 4? I currently have a 3 that works fine, just wondering if I should upgrade or not.

5 hours ago, clbowens said:
Does anyone in the Cleveland area still have VoLTE? Mine disappeared last night.
Having the same issue here in the Minnesota market. It's been going in and out for the past week or so, just randomly showing the VoLTE icon seemingly whenever it wants. I have an s8.

Thanks for the suggestion, but i've done that a few times already. Must just be a bad update from samsung.... I hope it's fixed when android 9 gets released to the s8.Try dialing ##72786#

This screen shot shows what my phone has been doing. Sometimes it will show the VoLTE icon next to the signal bars, with the exclamation point. It will sit like that for about a minute and then pop over to 3g or tmobile roaming, both of which are very weak where I'm at. I've tried reprovisioning, even a factory reset, but nothing seems to matter. I've reset the airave, but I don't think that's the issue since my wife's phone connects just fine.Anybody take this january update with an airave 3 lte? My s8 refuses to stay connected to the lte side for more than a few seconds now, and prefers to stay on tmobile lte roaming (weak signal). It will even hang on tmobile when I drive away from my house for a few miles, before finally latching back onto sprint b41.
I've tried reprovisioning my phone, updated profile.....nothing seems to help. My wife's s9 doesn't have a problem connecting to it, so I know it's not the airave. Anybody have any more ideas?
Thanks.

Is there anything I'm missing before I call sprint and have the dreaded 2 hour call where they go through all the standard stuff to try to fix it?

Thanks for this! I was able to add it to all 3 of our lines. Would have been easier if they would of just added it to all of them from the beginning.You can adjust services for each line independently. You may have to add it for each line.

Ok, thanks. It must only be on the primary line and not shared. It works on my wife's phone now, but not mine.Instantly..

I went through and accepted the 50gb hotspot for ED1500 plan. How long did it take for you guys to get activated?

One thing I've noticed while roaming on band 4, is that google thinks im offline and not connected. To do a search I have to open a browser instead of using the google app. Play store is the same as well. Everything else seems to work fine though.

Just went live now in minneapolis as well. Doesn't appear to support my airave 4g lte though. If I get far enough away from my airave, I see the icon and the 1x drop off. I'm on an s8.

Sometime yesterday while I was at work, the net light went solid red on the LTE side, but is still functioning normally. I connect right away to the airave LTE and stay connected, with no speed issues. Anybody else come across this scenario?

Thanks, I'll give those a try. Can't try out her s7 sim as that had to get sent back to Sprint. I'll see if I have something else lying around to try.Hmm. Maybe try swapping in the SIM from her S7 (or preferably another carrier if possible). Not sure if the phone being carrier locked will affect things. Like I said, sometimes the RCS data gets corrupted or something, and I tried clearing data for a lot of system and nonsystem apps to fix it, but the only way I got it resolved and force a refresh was putting in a different SIM (in my case an AT&T Freedompop SIM and a no longer active Indonesian SIM worked).
Sprint's RCS framework is still kind of flaky in my experience. It will randomly stop working for me and require a reboot. The same thing happens with family members with different devices.
I feel like you receiving a notification after every reboot isn't normal. You can try switching to Google Messenger and see if that fixes the issues on either of your devices.

New update out. This one includes some camera improvements as well. Been very pleased with continued updates for the s8, even though this phone is over 2 years old.
