Is CA B25-B41 or B26-B41 enabled in any market yet? On my S9 if I dial ##data# these carrier aggregation profiles aren't enabled yet. If I were to enable them will it actually work?
-
I don't mind seeing a Verizon version of Cricket/MetroPCS/Boost. An option for tethering would also be nice.
-
This is the first phone with B26+B41 and B25+B41 carrier aggregation. Do we know if Sprint has this live in the field? This will solve the low upload speeds in areas with a weak B41 signal.
-
Any particular reason you weren't happy with the service?
-
Right - and on the network side, can the existing hardware - 8T8R, mini macros, Clearwire equipment, etc, perform this type of carrier aggregation with just a software update? Or does existing equipment on the towers need to be replaced.
-
With FCC docs showing the Galaxy S9 capable of carrier aggregation between different bands (B25+B41 or B26+B41), when do we expect Sprint to start implementing this type of aggregation? Is new hardware required on towers or is it a simple software update?
-
Pings seem better (10-15ms) across the board on all 3 bands when I do speedtests now (speeds are still roughly the same).
-
Do we know if Sprint's existing equipment (8T8R, mini macros, etc) can support B25+B41 or B26+B41 with a software upgrade? Or will this require new equipment?
-
I'm assuming if there's CA with B41+B25 or B41+B26 that B25 or B26 can be used for uploads?
-
I also ordered the Essential. The deal for $145 is too good to pass up.
