Hey fish you want it down, the dBm i mean. Here's a quote "-50 dBm is great signal or full bars. -120 dBm is very poor signal or a dead zone." you at 105 dBm is garbage, no wonder your missing calls.. Since you are experiencing network issues, you could get a replacement, but i don’t think it will make much difference. as it's all same hardware. Why not get a Google Pixel XL i heard they got awesome reception! Or if you’re at home a lot, purchase an lte repeater booster ? Problem Solved!

Drop in signal & Block sign

I went through a whole “carrier switching” routine (details found somewhere on these forums) and after changing the CSC to Canadian I flashed Bell Mobility's firmware. The phone now shows that it’s an SM-G955W which is the Canadian model. And apparently now supports additional LTE bands 29(700) and 30(2300) which were missing from the SM-G955U (I determined this by dialing *#2263#).

I have no idea if it *really* supports these bands or just *says* that it does but my gut tells me that it really does support them. I suspect that the hardware for the SM-G955U and SM-G955W is 100% identical and any differences are controlled through software only.

And I seem to have better reception now. I am getting 4 to 5 bars in most places and under -100 dBm in most places. Plus Wi-Fi calling works now so I have reception in my basement at my house.

The true test will be when we go camping next summer.

Loud enough and clear enough for me and I'm hard of hearing or so my wife says.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] ssgunner20:
Much better than tbe S7E.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] martyfried:
What did you say?

Sounds like me and my wife. Thanks for commenting - I'm looking into a new phone, and appreciate hearing this. Seems like all everyone wants to talk about are the camera, videos, speed, how good it looks, etc. Reviews leave out how well it works as a phone.

See gsmarena review on loudspeaker
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] idel809:
The sound seems perfect:)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] Mirandog:
It's the best and clearest speakerphone I have used. I even use it in my car in preference over the factory hands-free.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] torr310:
Played music using my S8 Active (assuming they are alike) next to iPhone X, the loud speaker of the iPhone X was way better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] Leon:
Can't say is perfect. As ex user, of htc phones with boomsound, this speaker sounds like a joke to me, sorry but I had to say it. I also read that, the speaker is ****ty and will continue to be with the next flagships because it's hard to make good speaker with water resistance. So we have to deal with it. Also depends how you hold the phone, for example when I play games I don't have any sound because of the way I hold the phone hand is always on the speaker and I can't hear a single sound.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] Misch94:
My iPhone 6 had better sound. S8 sounds small and tinny.

Try these settings and tell me if you like them more. Volume is decreased but sound quality is miles better in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] dylansmith:
any idea what is the RMS rating of the speakers? will the S9 be better?

Hey guys! Does anybody get any crackles or rattling at max volume when listening to a podcast or when using the speaker during a call?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] RSCEmulation:
awesome work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review] gabriellovesmusic:
My experience with the speaker is different contrary to what most people on YouTube says. My S8+ sounds pretty audible even in relatively crowded places, sometimes I even had to lower the volume. Clarity is acceptable too. But it's not the best speaker by any means, just isn't as bad as what people says. Mine's Exynos variant.

Mine is actually amazing. Bass response is there, treble, mids, and it's pretty loud too.

The honor 8 Pro has it's own quirks and sub-optimal menus. But overall, it's still good!
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] pranaypathole:
Honor is a pretty underrated companies functioning out there, with their Kirin Processor they basically blow Mediatek and Snapdragon out of the water and their cameras, I remember them to be the first to implement RGB+Monochrome sensors in their phone and the display just to dope, there phones need more attention!

[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] shashank1320:
really a competitor to OP5 in less price. With EMUI 5.1 and most probably an O update in future, this is really awesome.

Camera, Battery, smoothness, RAM management is pretty good and no comparison to camera for sure.

I don't think any screen guard will apply on it because of the 2.5D curved glass on front.

Also, rest assured. Oreo will come within a month or two.

Ordered mine by exchanging op3 in India.

Looking for great experience
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] MrHuman:
After half a year or so(or longer? Lol) I must say that this phone has been working perfectly and I've been more than happy with it. Screen quality, responsiveness (both hardware and software) and battery life among the best under 500€ ever.

Just hope Honor keeps up the updates, if so then this phone will easily be up there with in my top 3 best phones ever, right after the legendary 3310 and Sony Z2 (no heating issues here).

[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] aKp1:
All things including root, custom roms and custom kernels, were available when this phone was launched in India. The very next day when the phone was in my hand, I could see that there is already RROS by OpenKirin team and also the very next there was a custom Kernel. Also the source code has already been released by Huawei. So I hope there will be good development in future. The only problem that I see is the dual camera source code which has not been released by Huawei which will cause problem in custom roms. Hope the OpenKirin team will find some solution to this or atleast port the huawei camera to other roms.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
And now thisnis the bad part. Development is so small. I hope it changes over time.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:

with time it will be good for sure.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] itisiryan:
I hope development picks up soon.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] XDARoni:
If you're looking for a development-friendly phone, Honor is not the solution for you. We do have a program where we give out bootloader unlock codes to a select number of people every once in a while, but there is no official support for unlocking your bootloader. This results is a very small development community.

I found that the Honor 8 Pro is incredibly fast. The 6gb ram and optimization of the rom is pretty good and helps the processor incredibly to open the apps fast.

App switching is also breeze and multitasking is great. You won't find any apps reloading once you have loaded it into memory.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] mydragoon:
so far, dun think i've had any instance of lag... hope it remains so. :)

[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
One word this is beast.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
There is ufs based too , only in Indian version got the emmui 5.1.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
No. Only the reviewers got ufs ones.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] venugopalu007:
Really sad:( cheap trick by honor.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
Yeah. Hope they don't do it again.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
:( Yes hope they don't.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
It will surely boost their sales if they could've used ufs in all.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
I will check if my 8 pro is whether ufs or emmc .
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:

Apps open very fluently. The 6gb of ram helps to load the apps faster and keeps in memory for almost ever. Chrome or UC Browser with more than 10 tabs opened at a time, Asphalt Xtreme, angry birds 2, blood and glory, these games loaded pretty quickly. It never seemed that the app has got stuck at any place. Plus the usual social apps, media and gallery are incredibly fast as such within a blink of eye.
[Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review] mydragoon:
So far, so good. Wish it could be faster -- referring to EMMC vs UFS fiasco.

6gb ram is enough for anything you through at it. All the apps once loaded are staying in the ram for almost ever. For once in the first week with my phone, I was playing contra on it and then left it as is. After few days, I wanted to switch to some other app and found contra there, it was still paused with contra shooting. I don't even remember how many days it was like such.

There is a feature where you can blacklist an app or allow it to be closed on locking of the device which will remove the app from the memory. This is to optimize the battery life. So other than the social apps and certain apps which I switch to mostly, I've blacklisted all other apps.
