Update went ok.  WiFi calling failed after update, but healed itself about an hour later. Don't much like the revised Settings menus, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I have a different version. I don't remember what the beta version was but u don't get the beta message during restarts. Am I still behind?

I have already looked into this and tried it all but you cannot so I use Google Messenger which works good for me because I have people color coded I use it as my default messenger app works great.

Is everyone else's phone way laggy? Mine will hang for several seconds at time, many times a day. Wondering if I should wipe, or is this just a product of the new software.

I don't notice any lag since the update. I wiped the cache though right after I updated. That may help.

If you weren't already on the beta I would suggest a full wipe. I had lots of issues running release 2 of the beta and after a wipe everything was back to running great again.

I second the motion.

 

Full wipe helped me dramatically.

Another question as well, are you running any themes?  If you are still having issues and haven't wiped yet try going back to the default theme and see if you are still having issues.  There are a lot of themes out there that doesn't run quite right on android 7.0.

Is Google Messenger the Android Messages app from the Play Store?

Yes, they just changed the name of it last week. It is now known as Android Messages.

Here in SoCal, my LTE reception performance got worse after the official 7.0 update. At the same locations & at the same time, my wife's & mom's iPhone SE and Note 3 get LTE whereas I only get 3G at some spots.

 

Anyone else with worse LTE reception?

Sprint overall has slow down every where I have been lately. Also with their change to roaming (100mb) I will more then likely be moving to Verizon after 17 years of faithfully service with them.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
