Call quality for me so far has been poor can hardly hear the other person.....speaker phone and extra loud enabled and I still have to put the speaker in my war
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] winol:
Cristal clear calls, at least in my home city, I had a note 4 910c, it had a problem, the person calling me always complained about hearing echoes, no matter from where I were calling, really annoying, but no problem with my note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] icarusnow:
no problem with quality using advanced wificalling
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Cristiano Matos:
Quality call here in Brazil is very good. Especially when in VoLTE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
No issues with call quality here either (in Canada).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] iceepyon:
Call quality has been excellent. No complaints from me or the person on the other side.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Pretty **** on T Mobile hd calling. Scratchy and awful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] icarusnow:
perfect on wifi lte calling, otherwise becomes less clear or loud. too bad samsung can't improve on that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] winol:
Since VoLTE became available, this type of calls sometimes do not work fine, the other side sometimes can not hear me, so, I ended switching to std calls, I think it might be a carrier glitch
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sunking101:
Signal reception is lousy compared to previous Sony and Apple phones. Same network. Loads of dropped calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
Signal is great here on my N950F and never dropped a call once. Strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] celticchrys:
I've had my Note 8 for about a week. In comparison to my last three phones (Note 3, ZTE Axon 7 & Essential Ph-1), people on voice calls tell me that I am more clear. They ask what I am saying far less often. Using sm-n950f (Exynos) on ATT in USA.

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy Note 8's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Barkleyfan:
Kinda blows. Frequently drops signal on 5g, same as my S8+ and wife's S8 does. Never happens with S7Edge on. same networks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] hotadef:
Will get mine tomorrow will compare to my v20 and gps accuracy as well. My Samsung phones have always been the least accurate gps of all the phones I have owned

For me the wifi is far superior to S7 edge..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] DevilzGtr:
My Note 4 is able to get full internet bandwidth through WiFi which is about 74mbps down and 20mbps up.

My Note 8 gets averages 40mbps down and 20mbps up when it's causeless. Down speed drops to around 30mbps with the alcantara case on.

Both devices were tested one after the other in the same room on the 1st floor and the router on the ground floor.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] tuffigirl:
This is my Note8 when I was upstairs in my room... the router is downstairs in the living room. The WiFi is outstanding.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] mcdanielvzw:
Using the speedtest app on my phone, I get 94%+ bandwidth of the 100 MB port to the AP up and down with a Ubiquiti AP-AC-LR, 30 ft from it through a hallway in my office.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] ytj87:
Have to echo the others. I came from a Note 4 to the 8 and the 8 is quicker. Both max out my home Wi-Fi at 60 to 65, but the 8 powers the test with no choppiness while the 4 kind of lurches to 60. I chalked it up to the 4 not having the processing power to handle it all in general.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Krayziepop:
I am blown away by the LTE speed in my area! My previous ATT branded LG V20 couldn't top 75Mbps, so this is a leap for me with LTE+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] usmaak:
I am very curious about signal strength in areas that don't have blasting towers in the background. My old S3 always had poor signal. I was blown away by how much better my soon to be defunct Note 4 was at picking up and holding a signal. I hope that the Note 8 continues that fine tradition.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] BigMosley:
I have Verizon and I have also noticed it switches between LTE and LTE+, I assumes the LTE+ is better speeds but never saw any sort of LTE+ on my LG V20 either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Barkleyfan:
My signal blows compared to my S7Edge, but it's on par with my S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Krayziepop:
I will be honest, the signal blows me away. I have never gotten any bars of signal inside of the manufacturing plant I work in, but with this phone I have nearly full service :confused: . ALL previous phones I have used, which have all been ATT branded mind you, have failed in here. I can sit at my desk here and browse the web like its no big deal. Old phones I had to run out to the sidewalk to use it, for anything... I don't understand why this is SO vastly better now, but I cannot complain. Part of me wonders if it has to do with the ATT CSC layer - which is why I have worried about flashing that to this unlocked device whenever it shows up in the wild. It is exceptional right now, everywhere I go! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] stleusc:
Using tmo.

Fastest speed I've ever seen on a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] bober10113:
i would have a question to add for everyone posting. are your phones unlocked or not and/or are they from the original region your service is on.

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] OxyClean:
Went from 90/50 mb to 150/50. S7e to n8tmo. Same location.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] ThaiM:
I'm on a very old grandfathered unlimited data plan. Previously up to my Note 4, I was only able to get 4G speeds. But since getting my Note 8, I'm all of sudden able to get an LTE connection (while still on the old grandfathered plan). Take a look at this one freak result:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] elite-fusion:
Im on T-Mo and also on a grandfathered plan with unlimited data. As of this morning, the download speed has gotten less than 3mbps

No idea why. I have downloaded about 50 apps this morning since I was just setting up my Note8, but all was going fast and suddenly turtle slow.

I was disabling a ton of things in Package Disabler, but not sure what it could possibly be.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] POLO_i780:
It gets better signal run my S7 Edge. In areas where the S7 Edge may go to Emergency Calls Only, the Note8 will hold 1-2bars consistently, no missed calls or deoppe calls.

Luckily I have now moved to a new office which has great signal to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] nitinmits:
Got this speed from Reliance JIO India. Never seen such speeds before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] masri1987:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] ragavbpl:
Very bad signal reception for me

I am using Airtel, Jio and Reliance GSM 4G sims in India and I have compared signal strength of Note 8 with Redmi Note 4, Nexus 6P and LYF Flame 1 mobiles.

And I found Note 8 to be having the weakest signal reception strength. Same pair of sims when used simultaneously on these phones, (not nexus 6P as it is singal sim) Redmi Note 4 and LYF Flame 1 never had any issues with signal reception. But with Note 8 both Reliance GSM 4G and Jio sims are having almost no LTE signals and for Airtel where other phones show all 5 bars, note 8 have 3-4 bars.

I am not sure if this is the problem with just my phone or others as well in India.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] ap10046:
I'm with ragavbpl.

My 7+ and X show me full bars, my unlocked N8 barely 2-3.

Using a combination of 3 different carriers, slots changed out frequently, locations. But is the same everywhere.

4G drops off and goes to H+ (what is that anyway...2G?) or even E, very frequently, when the other phones on the same network have full 4G.

This causes pages not to load, just when you need them to, emails and chats to stop or get delayed, more often than not.

I wonder if this is a carrier issue? Or a phone one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] iceepyon:
The LTE speeds on my N950N is amazingly fast when compared to my old N910C
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] volcolm:
With Freedom Mobile, I'm using Open Signal, to see what cell tower it's connected to, as well as other towers in my area. Using this tool, tests your data throughput at the tower site itself. The signal in my whole neighborhood is weak so I'm connected to WiFi (and using VoWiFi as a result -- "Voice-Over-WiFi"). Normally the signal will alternate towers from 12-15KM away and this results in dropped calls no matter what device I use -- they need to work on getting some microsites, or sharing more of the existing infrastructure (there's an underutilized tower site in the strip mall right next to me even).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Abu-khulzat:
Had some time with note 8 display unit in Samsung store. I liked everything, but the external speaker. It is too high pitched, making listening to it a discomfort. I had the same issue with Note 7.

Today will go there again to double check. So far, this is the only thing holding me from preordering this phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] marvi0:
I really miss the nexus 6p speakers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Abu-khulzat:
For me, note 5 speaker was the best of all note phones. It was loud and had much more bass
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] dephsone:
I'm using a 6P right now but will preorder the Note 8 when it will be available in my country.

I'm afraid of the speaker quality on the Note 8 because it's so frickin' good on the 6P.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Abu-khulzat:
Had some more time with note 8 display units in Samsung store. I was surprised to find out that equalizer settings were applicable to the external speaker sound. For some reason I had been thinking that those settings are for earphones only.

So I reduced the high frequencies and that's it, the sound became much more better without causing discomfort for the hearing. For those who will find volume level low, you can boost all frequencies and get much louder sound.

Finally I made my pre-order for a black 64 GB unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] riz157:
What about the clarity and crispness of sound? Samsung aren't known for.producing good sound even their TVs speakers are poor.

After using Axon 7 and nexus 6p I've got used to good loud clear speakers, this is my major concern with note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Sattero:
For music it's miles away from iPhone 7 (not Plus, I have the "small" one) but not in the good way, it has smaller amount of bass and is more high pitched. I use my phone to play some music in a dinner room or in the bathroom so this is kind of disadvantage on Note 8 side.

Don't have any comparison on calling loudness and clarity but for music... it's shame that Sammy didn't make a stereo setup like Apple did with iPhone 7 which helped a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] GigaSPX:
You're saying you'd be glad to give up your headphone jack for dual speakers?

Honestly, Samsung should've followed Sony, HTC, or other phone companies that enabled speaker output from the earpiece alongside with the main speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Sattero:
Lol hell no, I am not saying this. I am talking about the dual speaker setup you mentioned also.

Absence of jack is different story, maybe even fairy tail of greedy king who wanted to make all customers to buy wireless headphones which are expensive and most of them sh**ty af. Don't worry, that's what I hate about iPhone 7 the most from the start.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] CtrlZThis:
Coming from a 6P using Arise, in comparison, the Note 8 speaker is horrible.

Maybe I need to get acclimated to it, but I can hardly hear my alerts and texts as they come in. With notifications volume cranked to 11, switching ringtones in an area where a conversations happening, I really can't hear the tones. It sucks to be honest.

It's not a deal breaker but if I miss to many texts it could be. My 6p speakers are freaking amazing....Almost as amazing as the screen on my Note 8!

The speakers poor quality is absolutely the only thing on this device that I am not happy with
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jason504:
You are right the speaker on this phone gets a thumbs down. But everything else is great. I can live with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] CtrlZThis:
It's not as bad as I guess I made it out to be but it's not an impressive speaker. However this phone is so bad ass that a little less volume is tolerable. I'm so impressed with everything else on it, I feel like an idiot for complaining that the one speaker isn't as loud as my 6p's 2!

Love my Note8 and happy to have my 6p as a backup!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jason504:
Ha ha ha you are correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] iteam:
Is there anything like a mod with no root to boost and or tweak the speaker settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Edu616:
I remember there was a mod on the LG G5 that would let you use your earpiece as a twitter and you regular bottom speaker as a woofer and it sounded great. I which wi would see something similar on the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] iteam:
I think we would need root for mods like that.. I don't want to root... I wish we could do that. It kills me that I was comparing my S8 to my Note 8 yesterday and I then realized how much louder and still clear the S8 was over the Note 8. Now the size of it in my pocket and the dismal speaker loudness are the 2 things making me want to go back to the S8 until the S9.... I've only got 6 days to make my move..... Anyone else know of anything that can be done to boost external volume??

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

This works without root!!! Speaker Booster from the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.SpeakerBoost&hl=en

be careful, I found 10-20% boost was enough!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Dark Jedi:
Must say the speaker phone sound quite good. Still want stereo dual speakers but a step upfrom my S6 edge+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] vincey2kr1:
That speaker boost app isn't working on my unlocked note 8 on Sprint FYI?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Fourstarzzzz:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] askermk2000:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DimidiusDeus:
Sadly, that's not going to work for you. EFS is almost always specific to each individual device, as it usually holds the IMEI number, serial number, etc.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] askermk2000:
Yes, I suspected as much. But I have qcn backup which holds those things, but it doesn't hold *everything*. So perhaps by restoring qcn after flashing new efs, I'd be able to keep my stuff whilst retaining the other bits.

Just a theory. It's for experimenting.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] qtoo941:
Hey guys, I have a question for you. Two days ago I ordered the OnePlus 5 128 GB. I used my american debit card and this morning when I checked my online banking I saw that OnePlus actually charged additional $16.17 for "International Fee".

Has somebody else been charged with such a fee ?

What would you suggest me to do?

It is funny. I live in Maryland (USA) and OnePlus sent me the phone from Los Angeles but we are still in the same country :laugh:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] whelmar:
That is your credit card company, not oneplus. If you had used paypal for the transaction instead of their cc check out, you would not have had the fee, as paypal is processed in the US...
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Pouic:
Exactly, even if the phone was sent from a US shipping depot the paiement is processed from a Chinese company and international fees can apply from your credit card company (especially if you use a Amex card, they are the worst for the fees).

You never see this problem by using PayPal.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 0xTJ:
It has nothing to do with where it comes from. It's just based on the recipient. Just another reason to use PayPal.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:
LOL

Go to your bank and complain mate! I't not OP that did that ;)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] silvershadow:
damn, i tried to pay with creditcard and didnt accept it (probably typed something wrong), so i used the same creditcard through paypal, and it worked fine. so i guess i dodged that fee by accident :D
