Ok, good, it's not just me.

Anybody else having issues with notification volume?  Sometimes, when I unmute my phone, the notification volume stays muted.

Android 10 beta coming soon:  https://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Android-10-One-UI-2-beta-coming-soon_id119503

Anybody else having data issues in the Mayfield Heights area today?  I'm having troubles getting any data connection currently.  And with SCP running, I can see my phone is bouncing around from B41 to B26 a lot.  I usually get a solid B41 connection where I am currently.

So, everybody still liking their S10's? 

I am still liking mine!

I just got a notification that my phone downloaded new time zone definitions.  And they'll be applied after my phone restarts.  Anybody else get that?

Interesting for a Sunday night.

Yeah, just in time for October!

Question:  If you have a phone on Sprint that VoLTE enabled, and you call another Sprint person and the call is in HD, does that mean that person also has VoLTE enabled (since the call was in HD)?

I would switch to Altice Mobile right now if it weren't for the fact that they don't cover most of the destinations that I travel to regularly and I'd probably lose RCS. Otherwise I'd switch in a heartbeat for unlimited access to both Sprint and AT&T's networks for $20/month since I am an Optimum customer. I wonder if they'll add more international destinations soon.

Another thing worth noting is that they claim that they're not deprioritized compared to regular postpaid Sprint or AT&T customers like most MVNOs are because of the agreements they signed with both carriers.

Yeah, they have an interesting plan.  Unfortunately, I'm not in one of their service areas.

I'm going to miss CDMA whenever it sunsets. 1xRTT is a very reliable voice airlink that provides high reliability and coverage. I don't think any technology will ever come close to matching the robustness that CDMA offered us.

I've never had good voice quality on CDMA.  With every CDMA phone i've had, voice calls have been a little muffled and/or choppy.

VoLTE has not been choppy.  But it is still muffled, if it's not HD.

A SNR of 0 indicates a 1:1 ratio between signal power and noise power. Anytime there is more background noise than signal, the SNR is negative.

Negative SNRs are very common in areas of high congestion/usage. LTE can be and often is usable with a SNR below 0, although it isn't going to be a stellar experience. By comparison, CDMA does a lot better than LTE below the noise floor (relatively, of course). 

Good to know, thx.

It's meh. SNR usually sits in the negatives. RSRQ is usually -30dB or worse. I've been reporting it for over a year. I've had tickets put in. 

Two 5x5 carriers. They do have downlink intraband CA enabled so it's 10x5. 

iPhone XS which has the shoddy Intel XMM7560. Cellular does randomly disconnect but it doesn't do it enough for me to replace it.  

I didn't know SNR could go negative.

I think Nokia finally worked out the kinks..

I believe it was all a lack of 4x4 rank 4 on the LTE side that was causing the hold up of 5G for them..

 

Those are great 5G speeds!  Why can't they have those speeds in all their 5G markets?!

What's the point of coverage that doesn't work? I don't think I've seen any 15x15 band 71 yet. I know they were bumping some areas from 5x5 to 10x10. 

My 3x3 B26 works fine for me, when I'm on it.  Usually in my basement.

Not sure if that was there before under the ##3282# menu, but say VoLTE is disabled, even though i have the VoLTE icon at the top

August update finally out. Was 500MB+ and also forced a profile update after install so there must be some kind of modem update.

I'm installing mine now!

Does anybody have issues with VoLTE quality calls? I have the V50 and finding myself having to turn it off sometimes to make calls.

None here.  Acutally, with VoLTE active, call quality has gone up a lot!

Sprint put a small cell about half of a block away from my house. It's a relay small cell with one carrier. Speeds are about 40-50Mbps and pings of about 70ms. It's in a spot where Band 41 would go down to about 1 or 2 bars without it.

They need to put more small cells in my area.  :-)

Hasn't the national launch already occured?

They haven't announced anything about a national VoLTE launch yet.

Also one thing I don't understand, is why TMobile would want to lease Dish's 600Mhz spectrum?  Or why would they need to?  It will go back to Dish eventually.

Also, what about Shentel territory/network?!

More popcorn, anyone?

Have you guys heard about the S10 update issue on Verizon?  Maybe that's why we haven't seen an update for our S10's lately.

Interesting.  No June update at all.

Anyone else having an issue that their S10 will occasionally stay on 3G for a long time if it drops LTE?  I have to turn off/on airplane mode for LTE to come back right away.

Mine does that every so often if I drop to 3G.
