If you agree with the ~500 ft. radius statement on 5G, and compared to the several miles of 4G...I don't understand your conclusion. Think of the grid density required that increases exponentially. And forget the inverse square law: higher frequencies are attenuated by everything. I'm...

Well if that was the OP's thrust, then you're quite right. No way, no how, is that going to happen in any kind of turnkey timeframe. I'll further contend that a full withdrawal from 3G, unless mandated by a frequency throttle by law, just isn't going to happen by 1/1/2020. I can't imagine how...

No that isn't what happened. I established that was true on its face, it's just that it's a disproportionately larger chasm between reality and expectations now. All these "been here before" arguments are missing the problem entirely. In any case, it's clear that you're not agreeing that...

Funny, that's the hype I'm talking about. Did you notice? Of course, but I have no idea what the two of you are talking about with regard to my post if you think that you (mustang) didn't just accidentally agree with me, which it looks like you did. Look at it this way: Let's pretend that...

:) Well, keep in mind that the customer wasn't complaining about 5G, she was complaining about simple coverage. And I do believe that it got worse from 3G to 4G and will be even worse with 4G to 5G (for both the over promotion and the extended expectation set that results). Besides, I don't...

There seems to be some agreement about this. Currently you have the S10e split off into it's own subforum and the S10 and S10+ together (for some reason). The phone line is more than 99% the same across the S10's. They really are that similar. I asked about this elsewhere...

Well Verizon seems to be fueling high expectations on 5G, while at the same time customers are not being particularly educated. Who's more at fault? Well, look at this and decide regarding simple coverage issues, not even 5G: I was at a Verizon store a few days ago. There was an irate...

The problem with posts like these is that they have to sidestep many fundamentals, because to bring those fundamentals into the discussion properly will open androidcentral to physics AND political arguments, neither of which are anywhere near productive. For instance, you can't tell the whole...

Can an Unlocked S9+ do wifi calling on Verizon though? Last I looked, the S9's were still having a problem with this. Verizon was able to turn on wifi calling for my Unlocked S10+ bought directly from Samsung. ━━━━━━━━━━ Everyone Sing: I'd Rather have a bottle in front of me, Than have to...

I have an Unlocked S10+ (bought directly from Samsung), and I have WiFi Calling. The Verizon store rep turned it on for me. Model #: SM-G975U1

Updated original post. Texting works via WiFi, but with weird delay on receiving.

I believe it. There are a few videos from them: Do you have a link to the video and section you mean? Thanks.

He doesn't mention that in his S10 teardown (he doesn't have an S10+ teardown). And when you look at the actual tear down, the microphone isn't at an angle. Is there a different youtuber you were thinking of?

Well nothing is more slippery than that phone, and until that case arrives I'm literally leaving my phone home unless I really need navigation help. Such a crazy phone design from a chassis standpoint. Nice to look at, but really, from a functional standpoint, more than a little knuckleheaded...

No kidding! I was interested in it until I saw the installation video(s), and then my thought bubble went "yeah, I'll be the first one to smear the lens permanently or get a weird bubble dead center for all eternity." Plus, I hate hate hate hate hate installing screen protectors. The human...
