    Anyone having data issues when roaming onto T-Mo 600mhz? Even with full bars the data drops to a crawl at best, usually no data at all.

    Just noticed that I am roaming onto a B71 T-Mo tower at home, and am still able to connect to VOLTE! As far as I can tell this is something new, previously when roaming on T-Mo it would drop out of VOLTE

    The Android 10/OneUI2 beta program has closed, and they have released the official version to the beta crew on unlocked phones. You shoudl see the update soon.

    An unofficial post on the OneUI2 beta community claims that the beta has gone final and has been released to the carriers for testing. I don't know how accurate this is but it's been a while (Jan 6) since we got a beta update. Since the original roadmap showed a January release, it's quite possible that the next update will include Android 10/OneUI2.

    New Beta update this evening, this would be beta 3. Short list of fixes, note that there is a now a VoLTE icon when VoLTE is enabled. Should be pretty close to an offical release.

    This is the Beta 2 update for Android 10. They seem be be coming out about once a week. It has VoLTE and additional aggregation, although they are both turned off by default. Just a few weeks away from final!

    Just got beta 2 update. A few small bug fixes, still December security

    The roadmaps I've seen online show an official release in January. This beta seems pretty polished, I expect they found most of the bugs while building the S10 version. Samung moved to an official version on the S10 pretty fast, so maybe they will do the same for us.

    It's a beta program offered through the Samsung Members app. If it's still available you will see a banner offering a signup on the opening page of the app. It's beta,so not everything is perfect and Google pay won't work. The official version is supposed to be available in a few weeks.

    My unlocked S9 had calling plus on Android 9, but I don't see it in the menus anymore. You might be onto something. Wish there was some sort of icon to tell for sure.
  11. narf
    Or calling+
  12. narf
    How can you be sure your call is going over VoLTE?
  13. narf
    By the way, although I have VoLTE turned on, It doesn't actually work yet. I'm in Boulder county Colorado which I think has VoLTE activated.
  14. narf
    So far it seems pretty stable, only issue I've noticed so far is that Google Pay thinks it's "uncertified software" and wont work. Maybe a little less battery life, but its too soon to tell. It's got the December Security patch and a Dec 6 date on the kernal, so it's fresh out of the oven.
  15. narf
    Yes, but they are not enabled.
  16. narf
    Not sure where in the data menu tp look. Right now my phone won't connect in VOLTE mode and the data menu shows VOLTE disabled. I don't know if my location doesn't provide VOLTE yet or if Sprint has to enable my account for VOLTE or what.

    Just got the first Beta Android 10 update on my unlocked S9, and there is now a VOLTE toggle on it. Hopefully this will survive the beta process.
  18. narf
    Just got the first Android 10 beta update for my S9, and it had the VOLTE toggle on it. Hurray
  19. narf
    Nope, I checked several times to make sure that roaming was enabled, and rebooted the phone a few times too. I'm on the current PRL 55051.

    Anyone know anything about roaming agreements in the Laramie Wy area? I work up there occasionally, and in the past I always could get at least a 1X roaming signal. This week I was up there and nothing, I couldn't get any roaming at all and had no voice or data until I got to Cheyenne. I'm using a Note 4 with the most recent PRL (51)

    yup, just checked his profile. Guess I just explained something he already knew. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

    Because of the rules of this forum we can't talk about any specific tower info except in the sponsor forum. I will say that from looking at the sponsor maps it appears that the Denver Metro area towers are about 75% LTE. There are a few areas that are still mostly 3G, Notably, the US36 corridor between Denver and Boulder is only about 25% LTE, Highland Ranch and Englewood are about %50 LTE, The Southwest edge (Morrison area) hasn't been touched with LTE yet. And I70 west into the mountains has barely begun. There are also a few towers in Denver that are still waiting on the upgrade. As has been mentioned earlier, all the towers in Colorado have been upgraded to 3G and are ready to have LTE turned on, but until the fiber backhaul to the tower is ready Sprint won't turn on LTE. (No point in turning on LTE at a tower if the backhaul cant handle the data. If you want to see specific tower information, you need to become a sponsor.
  23. narf
    Of course sponsorship is a good thing and I recommend it. Without giving you any specifics I will tell you that there appears to be a bunch of towers along US 6 and south that have yet to have LTE turned on. Overall the SW quadrant of Denver Metro is probably less the %50 LTE. If you want more info, become a sponsor.
  24. narf
    All the hardware is in place. We are just waiting on the fiber interconnects. This will not be like wimax, which relied on a seperate group of antennas for it's coverage. Virtually every Sprint tower is capable of LTE, and will be broadcasting LTE when the third party contractors finish the fiber backhauls. When all the band 25 and 26 LTE is online it should be pretty good.
  25. narf
    Well, it may not be just your phone. As far as I can tell the Denver market has about 20% LTE operating. The Network vision upgrade is about 99% done, but the data backhaul (fiber connectivity) is lagging behind and Sprint wont activate LTE on a site until it has a backhaul with enough bandwidth to support it. It appears that contractors are way behind with the fiber installations. So it seems that it's in the hands of third party fiber installers now.
