Galaxy A9 Pro

I have been thinking of buying this phone for my wife and I, and we're aware that it will work on most carriers in the USA, but the burning question that we haven't been able to figure out is will it work on T-Mobile's 4G LTE network? I have found what I believe to be the international version on onedigitals.com, and ipmart Malaysia and they say it will support band 4 FDD-LTE, but I want to hear it from the horses mouth. Thanks for your help!

As per the tech specs showed on Samsung Malaysia website. the A910F/DS version supports LTE Band 4 and will work for you.
See it here: http://www.samsung.com/my/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/galaxy-a/SM-A910FZDDXME

Thank you avsroy. I also noticed that the a9 pro doesn't support band 12 (700Mhz), could this be a problem?

Anyway, because of A9 pro A9100, I switched from Tmo to Cricket, so far I am satisfied. Compromising the LTE but I get the 6" screen and 5000mah battery. No complaints.

Hey Eddie. I just bought an A9 Pro, and I also use T-Mobile. Here in Boston, Massachusetts, I get very little HSPA+. How often do you get 3G speeds or HSPA+ with Cricket Wireless? Is the speed fast enough for normal use?

o, i was living in Boston b4, I encouraged u to use other device to test the hsdpa of cricket by disabling lte. I was using LTE in Boston so I cannot exactly tell how hsdpa is doing. For cricket, I cannot say totally satisfied because the network down for 2 times within a month after switching anf now it is having the 22gb cap(the sales tole me). The hsdpa is usable and sometimes I have LTE lol At least the cricket representative tole me A9 pro has total 3g/hsdpa coverage by cricket/att. I trust it because so far so good. I live in CA though lol. So u should test by yourself...... I rely more on wifi at home and school now so I am fine. But 3g can definitely usable. Just dont use 1080p for youtube.....720p fine.

keep in mine that I have rooted my a9 pro, did all the 3g tweaks in build.pro..... lol

Cellular strength and throughput

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy Note 8's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.

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+

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.

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.

My signal blows compared to my S7Edge, but it's on par with my S8+.

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 . 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:

Using tmo.
Fastest speed I've ever seen on a phone.

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.

Went from 90/50 mb to 150/50. S7e to n8tmo. Same location.

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:

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.

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.

Got this speed from Reliance JIO India. Never seen such speeds before.

Buddy, check closer. WiFi was on when I took screenshot. That session was done when WiFi was off.

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.

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?

The LTE speeds on my N950N is amazingly fast when compared to my old N910C

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).

netwrk speed is too slow

Tmo 600mhz 5g is horrible

So when using 5g on 600mhz, I get 13mb download. When I switch to 4g, I get 120mb download. I think what is happening is 5g and 4g don't carrier aggregate, so your only getting a single channel download. So bottom line? Turn off 5g. What a waste

Sucks
Glad i have very low expectations for 5G. Dont mind turning it off at all if i have to. Still curious to see how good/bad it ll be since i work in a major city.

You're getting AT&T 5Ge? Strange.
600mhz isn't fake 5G, it's real, it's within in spec. Just because you get slower speeds doesn't make it fake. As you said, very likely it's a CA thing.

lol. ya n71 is not good for speed. you gonna have wait until they start using mmwave. tmo is def good in the city. i remember when i used tmo in midtown lte was pretty good

Same, I get around 30mbps with lte and only about 18mbps with 5g, quite annoying

My opinion(results may vary elsewhere and I could be wrong) but in my area of Ohio, there are certain areas that have 4glte and no 5g and some small gaps in 4glte that now have 5g. I think its more to fill in the gaps of coverage. I personally love it and it isnt super fast but is good enough for me to have coverage in the areas that I travel with minimal dead areas.

I'll do some 5g speed tests on T-mobile when my Ultra Unlocked comes in today. I live in Greenville, S.C. The reviews I read for T-mobile on the Ultra in New York City said the the speed was about 100mbps+ for LTE and about 130-140mbps+ for sub6. Nothing extradorinary but better than LTE. Makes me wonder why your seeing such low 30mbps speeds.

Low speeds due to no ca when on 5g. It literally turns it off. If I set it to 4g, I get 100mb dl. 5g is a complete shtshow. Early adopters, it is what it is. I just keep it set to 4g.

I have 15 days to try it out. Thought people might want real world tests. Not paid ones.

I have to agree....the 5G here in Phoenix is really bad. south phoenix, tempe and ahwatukee. Did a few speed test in each area. Garbage.

Sub-6 5g was never about great download speeds, and I for one prefer t-mobile going the way they did (focusing on sub 6 before millimeter wave).
sub 6 5g is the lowest frequency band you can get, millimeter wave is highest frequency you can get. Lower frequency signals pass through objects much better than higher frequency signals, they also travel farther than high frequency signals.
The real world translation is that sub 6 is essentially getting data a hair faster than 4g but because it penetrates walls and objects better as well as travels much farther, it should translate to getting a better signal in more places. With millimeter wave, you literally have to have line of sight to a tower to get decent signal..... line.of.sight.
I, for one, would rather have better signal strength in more places than blazing fast speeds when you're standing on this one street corner facing a specific direction. I realistically only see millimeter wave being rolled out to high density areas like stadiums or temporary roll-outs for things like political events or festivals.
Sub 6 is a much better technology for real day to day usage, the only reason I see Verizon to implement millimeter wave before sub 6 was for marketing, so they can claim they have the fastest network.

Note to VZTech:
mmWave is never going to be the "Real" 5G. It can't. It requires a microwave transmitter installed literally on every block and a fiber back-haul from that location to the central office. That infrastructure doesn't exist and will never exist as it will cost each carrier hundreds of billions of dollars, except perhaps in dense urban areas(directional boring is expensive). That is why everyone is focusing on midband as the next threshold to implement - that is the reason for the merge of Sprint (they have tons of midband) and T-Mobile. Verizon has midband to redeploy and AT&T is currently deploying low and midband for the same reasons. Your Ultra will address all of it currently being deployed. If I was on Verizon, I would want a carrier based phone to handle future changes not yet announced.
As to the current T-Mobile 5G, I have a T-Mobile Note 10 + 5G (same modem but no mmWave antenna) and an Ultra in route. After receiving the phone I drove over wide areas in the Chicago suburbs and I saw ranges from very low to well over 200 Mbps. CA is part on the carrier side and part on the phone side. Since you are one of the ones testing it, have you contacted either Samsung or, more importantly, T-Mobile tech support? Perhaps there is a software issue on the phone. Perhaps there is an issue in your area that needs to be addressed. Remember, that until this week, very few people in the entire country (just those buying the Note 10+5G and the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren edition) have been on it. I would not be surprised that there are still bugs to be shaken out on these phones and on the network as a whole. I had to call in my area about that and T-Mobile made some changes. YMMV, but it is worth a call. I wouldn't pass judgement until after I had spoken to T-Mobile and they agreed that what you are getting is all you will get.

I get 1-2mpbs down with 5g enabled and 70mbps+ down with LTE (4g) turned off and 5g disabled. I think this is a software issue where it should be switching to LTE for higher download speeds and 5g when there is coverage issues.

This is due to no ca between "5g"600mhz, and 4g lte. Just turn off 5g. It's useless in most places.

5G Mclaren Edition Tmobile

Hello, hope everyone is safe. Question: how many of you use the 5g in the US. Is it reliable? Since i got my mclaren back in December, i only used it once, wasnt happy with it and i have been using lte ever since.

I am using it in an area that was pretty weak, and it is working pretty good. It should get much better as the Sprint mid-range frequencies are turned on.

I thought the one plus mclerean was a low band phone not a mid band

last update added band n41, it's even listed on t-mobile site

I came to correct my post. I see that it can handle it just not mmwave or whatever they call it. Which I heard you can't get that through buildings. I only use my phone when I'm indoors

It is, Sprint has the midband that will be used by Tmo for 5G.

Its good when it works. Theres one spot in town where it says its full bars but internet doesnt want to work until i swtich to lte. Im guessing its just an issue with that tower.

T-Mobile's 5G implementation is still pretty new and I've noticed that 5 g can sometimes be slower than LTE. That being said, I suspect that T-Mobile will improve this with time. What is nice is that 5G networks are exclusive to 5G capable phones, meaning congestion can sometimes be better, at least from my understanding. I'm glad to see US carriers finally embracing 5G, despite the fact that it may not be as capable as international variants. Time will tell if we see any significant improvements with 5G coverage.
I have noticed significant improvements in coverage when traveling. My job requires I travel around a lot, since I do electrical work for cell phone towers. Historically,4G LTE coverage with T-Mobile has been spotty in certain parts of the country, but comparing my Pixel 3a XL with LTE coverage versus my McLaren 5G has shown a huge improvement and overall coverage and speed!there have been times where my pixel will get around 5 mbps vs my OP7T Pro McLaren 5G will be hitting well into 80+!

I have seen improvement also. I had to use a TMo booster in my house it was so bad. I have turned it off now.

I sometimes turn off 5G and get better speeds on LTE. But I checked a spectrum map, TMobile doesn't have enough low band spectrum in my specific geographic region. Completing the Sprint merger should help with that, and the 7t McLaren can support the Sprint frequencies with just a software update.
Fortunately I spend almost no time in cities where mmWave would matter, that's the only thing this phone can't do that other 5g phones can.

I have 5g in my rural town but the past two days the network has been acting up they might be working on the towers or something. Even my 4glte kicks of and on including my 5g.....

In my geography 5g is slower than 4g, but I checked a spectrum map and Tmo only has the minimum possible low band spectrum in my city and region. I've heard 5g works better if Tmo has 20mhz or more, and the addition of Dish licencing deals and Sprint spectrum is supposed to help later in 2020.
Anyway I'm usually just staying home using WiFi so it doesn't matter that much at the moment.

I get 110 mbs a second wear side of town and 30 mbs middle of town with 5g but I have a constant connection with 5g with 4g lte I sometimes have to reload pages cause of congestion

Sprint/T-mobile Internet speeds.

Sprint users have you noticed faster internet speeds? I received an update on 4/22 follow by the message about T-mobile allowing us to tap into their 5G. However, this afternoon when i got home my browsing was a bit snappy. I did a speed test on two different apps and was pulling 140 to 160 Mbps where before I was only getting 12-24 Mbps.

I got the same text, unfortunately I still have yet to get a software update to use the 5g from tmobile.

I just got the phone today, the note 8 on LTE was doing over 30mbps, I turned this on, 5G kicked on automatically and speeds at 24mbps lol. I saw this post, and checking for updates now to see if I can tap into Tmo 5g.
Is the software you have installed G988USQU1ATD6?

I haven't got 5g didn't connect to 5g for a few mins while traveling, I have noticed through signal checker being on band 2 lte at home very crappy sprint lte after profile and prl update so have been able to test speeds, before update I had excellent service on sprint

I had the software upgrade earlier this month. Today at work I had crappy service sending and receiving texts and slow network speeds. Now at home my status bar shows Sprint|SPRINT and have 5g. But with speeds of 2.5 up and .5 down at best.

Tim B: 9:08PMActually your address has 4G network, it catches the 5G signal but do not support. That is why it does not work on 5G, I can see the 5G is extending to your area, and soon you will hear a good news. Then once you connect it to 5G, it will be 10 times faster then 4G.
You: 9:09PMSo I am not the only customer with this issue in this area?
Tim B: 9:09PMYou are right.
You: 9:10PMSo I should keep my network set to 4g and avoid 5g until further notice?
Tim B: 9:10PMYou are correct.

I took a few speed tests while connected to 5G in north Florida. at best 24mbps, throughout the day it's around 1-3mbps. I'm assuming it's on one of t-mobiles low bands.
edit: I was on band 2. I used that app in another thread to only select a few to choose from, it jumped on band 66 and speeds ~100mbps. Nice.

Yeah, I don't really notice a huge speed difference. But I purposely went to three areas in my city that I usually don't get any reception or bad reception, and I was able to a decent signal now. So I'm definitely glad about that, since I do Doordash part-time and need my internet to work doing those deliveries.

At my house on T-Mobile I’m getting about 80 d/l and 6 u/l on 5g, and 150 d/l and 25 u/l on 4g. Pretty unimpressed so far. With the jump from 3g to 4g there was a huge, tangible difference in speeds. I certainly didn’t lose speed.

I am on Sprint and getting 5G. At night, I got 71.4Mbps speed. I don't exactly remember the day but I think it was around 30-35Mbps

80 is about right for tmo/spr nationwide 5g.. u have to keep in mind theres 3 different 5g networks.. nationwide uses the low end which allows for more coverage but slower speeds which is what most are on..
sprint was using mid band which i pulled over 500 consistently (im in phoenix) but since the merger and about 2 weeks ago they cut the mid band from sprint in favor of tmo 5g network making my s10 5g and 7pro5g no longer able to connect to 5g networm as theyre not compatible..
basically cureently most are stuck with low band nationwide 5g as they expand their mid range and only certain urban areas will get mmWave which is 1gb+ speeds..
mmWave requires thousands of towers in covered areas as it doesnt have as much range..
what i am saying is itll get better as time goes and most other carriers dont even have a 5g connection across the us so tmo is ahead of the game..
also dont expect 1gb+ mmwave 5g anytime soon or at all unless u live in an urban area

You're not gonna notice any speed difference on TMobile 5g. Sprints 5g has the best if both worlds. Good penetration through objects and faster than 4g with better latency. Too bad it's not available to all TMobile customers yet. That's what I'm waiting for...

sprints 5g is also being disabled if not already in favor of tmobile 5g network.. if u read any news ud know even that sprints own 5g devices r no longer able to connect to 5g as of 4/28 except for the s20 5g devices which connect to tmo nationwide 5g now.
on the bright side sprimt customers that had older 5g devices such as s10 5g are being allowed to trade in devife for s20 5g devices at discounted rates if they receive a targeted offer from sprint.

sprints 5g is also being disabled if not already in favor of tmobile 5g network.. if u read any news ud know even that sprints own 5g devices r no longer able to connect to 5g as of 4/28 except for the s20 5g devices which connect to tmo nationwide 5g now.
on the bright side sprimt customers that had older 5g devices such as s10 5g are being allowed to trade in devife for s20 5g devices at discounted rates if they receive a targeted offer from sprint.

Wow that's totally weird cause TMobile themselves said they are allowing their TMobile customers in New York and Pennsylvania to use sprints 5g service. I guess I should've known that when they said they are expanding their TMobile service to include sprints 5g that it a actually meant they are removing the service. They need to work better on their communication.

It was last week. But I guess, again, when they say something they obviously mean the opposite of what they said. Those New York residents are just magically getting increased speeds.

Since the merger my speeds doubled since March. I am on tmobile five miles from NYC. Basically the other side of the Hudson River in NJ. 120mbps up and 60mbs down. Its not the greatest but its still good.
