Sprint Mobile Data problems

[jmnesq]

I apologize but I looked through page after page and I couldn't find anything here, but on the Sprint site, there are 20+ page threads.

Is there anything here about Sprint's mobile data LTE issues with the Galaxy S10?

It's not just Sprint, but since their network is weaker than others, the issue stands out more. There is apparently a reception issue with the device. Seems the better the network, the less the issue stands out. This appears why Tmo customers seems second, ATT third, and not much from Verizon, unless in a fringe area. Seems Samsung might have messed up on the antenna design. Maybe.

There is? I haven't seen many complaining about it. Got any links?

Saw it on an Android site, FWIW. Missed the word apparently. Now added it. Friends have also mentioned it. I dislike the hole punch, so stuck with S9+ and N9. If true, no harm no foul.

I can't find it, but own it. I read it on Feedly and no longer shows it, since I viewed it. Can't figure out how to see it again. There was a link with tests a site did.

I worded that badly though, since could be a firmware fix, in spite of the assertions made.

I have Sprint and have not noticed any reception problems on my S10+. I am in the Atlanta metro area.
If you have not already, do a Update PRL and Update Profile.
I have not heard of any reception concerns otherwise.

I can say I have noticed some drops with TMO in areas I wouldn't drop with other phones.

Yeah it's making me rethink if I want to upgrade with that issue.

Sprints own community forum has a 20+ page thread. They called me to tell me there is a patch rolling out tomorrow. We will see.

I have an S10+ on ATT and reception for me is better than the Pixel 3XL and the iPhone XS Max I used to have.

Actually, most of my area has the fake 5Ge stuff, but as soon as I get a mile or so close to home it goes back to regular 4G, but I suppose it will reach up to my house soon.

Actually, even though it’s fake 5G, I was getting around 111 meg downloads on the speed test.

That my be an issues with sprints
Network and that patch maybe just specific to Sprint phones. My 10 plus is unlocked I use it on AT&T with no issues

I dropped data yesterday on Verizon in a good coverage area. Had to restart to get it back. This is their second time this has happened. Firstly time was a day after I got my phone. I attributed that instance to an old sim, but now I’m doubting that assumption.

Sprint update is live!

I got the update this morning. It didn't help

Install LTE Discovery and see what your LTE signal strength actually is. "Issue" and "weak" don't tell us anything, but -117dBm would.

 

[jmnesq]

I have -101. What's that mean?
