Samsung Galaxy Note 3

A question to my fellow Note 3 owners... 

 

Does anyone experience issues with the proxies since updating to Kit Kat?  I was hoping the latest update would resolve it, but it has not.  Specifically, when I set the proxy to my work network, it stays fine.  I can leave the building where it kicks to LTE or EVDO, come back into the building, and boom, back on the WiFi with the correct proxy.

But say I turn the WiFi off.  When I turn it back on, my phone will connect to my work network, but the proxy has disappeared.

I work in a school, some of the things I need to do (or want to do) are blocked, like social media.  But this proxy issue is causing me not to use the WiFi since I keep having to manually reconfigure the proxy once I'm done with filtered content.

 

I know proxy use is probably sparse among users, but I'm hoping I'm not the only one on these forums that uses one.  Is anyone else having this issue?  Has anyone found a fix?

The Lollipop is update available!  The phone said it had already checked today but it didn't appear until I did a manual update check.  

 

It looks like it's 5.0.  It's a whopping 920.29MB of a download.

I've noticed one hiccup.  If you do a factory reset after a major upgrade like I do, you can't search the Play Store without the popup asking you to use Samsung's prediction.  The problem is the keyboard will appear with the popup and then immediately disappear.  Try composing a text message first to get the popup, then everything is fine.

Even after the 5.0 upgrade, my phone does not make HD calls. Can anyone confirm if they have been able to with the Note 3? Also, for some reason the upgrade turned off my BC10. i had to re-enable it to get it back on 800mhz.

Interesting about the BC10.  I usually hit it on the subway here in NYC but haven't taken the subway in a while.  I'll swing to the basement of work and see if it catches there like it used to.

 

I still regularly make and receive HD calls, before and after the Lollipop update.  But again, it's only to people that have HD enabled phones only on the Sprint network.

I've been able to make HD calls without a problem.  I'm wondering at this point if it's your device.  Did you do a hard factory reset?  I'm not sure if HD is a software or hardware matter.

 

How do you re-enable 800?  I knew at one point but I can't find the directions online how to get into those screens.  I haven't picked up 800 at all since the Lollipop update (as you noted) even in the places I always did up until then (the subway, basement at work, etc.)

Are you fully integrated with Google Voice? Sprint HD calling and Google Voice are not compatible.

I am. The other phones on my account that do get HD voice are not, so that makes sense.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
