@woodbury wrote: I lost patience waiting for final fixes from Samsung/Sprint so I switched over to AT&T last week. Generally, my S10+ is working way better on the AT&T network but not without any issues. In areas where network coverage is spotty, I'm having similar issues where I lost data connection although the phone showed that I was still on the LTE network. And, the phone switched to 3G network from time to time in places where my other phones were working fine. It's not as bad as on Sprint's network though. It's also overheating after about 10 minutes making phone calls. By the way, mine is an unlocked version. the network not really the  issue, att and sprint using different bands, what i understand it is 26/25/41 3 band so far i know for sprint, att use others, what i gather so far it is hardware issue that software had cuz the issue at first, the pie firmware. becuz s8/9 shortly got the same issue after pie firmware upgrade.  all the phone from all network it start with running great to, spotty signal issue with lte/roam/3g switching, and (band switching which requre u to download lte to see it switch) if u have the phone all app close, and run the CPU check, u can see it jump from31percent to 99 percent back and for like crazy. also theres few utune video showing the phone doing as u discrib, shortly it die. i believe the overheating end up kill the board or attenna or part of the board. end up have to be replace. some ppl not seeing the issue, becuz some phone r having some of the band issue not being use by that network. some end up have the issue. idk if it is a bad attenna combine with pie firmware issue. or just pie is making the phone act that way and burn the board? not really sure. but i know at the end of the day. it is the phone issue not the network. ...

@userw9UL6Tl9jb wrote: Alright, I have read all 63 pages in this forum, and all 33 over in Sprint's site. I have read everyone's comments describing their issues/problems with their devices and I share everybody's frustrations. I, too, have a pre-ordered S10+ which I received on 3/6/19. Much like just about everyone here, the device worked great for a number of weeks and then service went downhill. Even in places I knew for a fact had very good cell reception. Text messages (SMS/MMS) would delay, sometimes not send at all. At first, I thought it was a normal and temporary issue with the network (Sprint), perhaps an outage of some kind. It eventually got so bad that I realized it was a bigger issue than I had anticipated. Which led me to find these two forums and well, the rest is history.   This is my thing, my S10+ (currently running the latest ASD5) works great in some select areas. I have been able to clock some decent speeds on Speedtest (70.4 mbps, 145 mbps) since the ASD5 update. Even prior to ASD5 (when device was running on ASC8), I have also managed to clock some very impressive speeds: 87.2 mbps, 93.5mbps, 75.4mbps, 158mbps, 206mbps, 188mbps, 141mbps. (I do shift work and work early hours of the day while everyone sleeps, some of the pre-ASD5 speeds were clocked at hours where there is not too much network traffic flowing) With that all said, there are certain areas (which I visit quite frequetly which I now know) where I get awful service. You know, the usual downgrade from LTE to 3G; roaming; "unable to establish network connection". All this while I'm in my car with my girlfriend (who has an iPhone XR, on the same network as me, as the 2nd line in my plan) who does not experience any of this.   From reading this, do you guys think my issue is merely of a geographical nature in that service is no good in the above-mentioned area, or does it sound like I have a defective device?   I don't quite know where I stand. I get so frustrated when I'm in those deadzones that I tell myself I'm going to go through with a replacement of my device. Alternatively, though, I have experienced some very good LTE speeds as I mentioned above, making me wonder if I even have a defective unit to begin with. Some people on these forums state their phones are completely useless, essentially a $1000 paperweight. Fortunately, that is not the case for me, unless I'm in one of the deadzones.    What do you guys think? The issue is not carrier, some carrier make it work harder then some, the phone the way it design is to switch network for best signal, and for internet travel it switch to either a heavy usage LTE or a slower LTE, problem it is that the device is switching band like crazy, which what I understand is after the security patch, when that happen the phone is trying to find a network that is faster or connecting, since theres download and upload, the phone have 0 to 0.02 upload so can't send info out, so the tower and phone thinks is slow connection so switch to different band, but it's the same reason so it switch like crazy which that's the battery drain issue show up and phone get really hot. Some of the phone have been damaged by the over heating, which why when send the phone in, they replace main board as u read on this forum, as matter fact someone posted video of their phone battery drain and over heating, and next die it die completely, long story short, the phone is trying to find a stable connection but the software is fighting it. The new patch is attempt to fix that and hopefully the phone work again that's why u see some ppl report it work some didn't.  So end of the story the pie firmware have an issue, so they come out security patch then security patch cuz the phone batt drain and over heating which end reason damaged the motherboard.  ...

With ppl phone that is working, go do full test, speed test, CPU temp, I m getting some connection and some not, it is always gonna show full bar like many times, it doesn't mean anything.

Out of 8 test, 5 of them fail.   CPU usage on idle, 36percent to 91perecent up and down, phone lost 6 percent in less then 5 min. Band connection band 41.   Phone is warm to touch, vs connect to wifi only. Battery drain normal on wifi.   Problem still there but whatever they did, it's a patch, it made it connect long enough. As I m typing this I lost 2 more percent.    So please all of you claim is working, full test ur phone, make sure it is working 100percent.  ... View more
