I'd be happy with a better radio firmware. I still see the places where my note 5 was great on magic box reception and the note 8 doesn't pick up at all... Hopefully we get something soon.

How does one go about getting a magic box?!

I'm thinking they've closed off residential requests for now until they fill some of the orders. I know the link is around here somewhere, Google Sprint magic box, or try sprint.com/magicbox

Currently, last I heard, it was business only...

Anyone found a screen protector thats worth a crap???   Personally I think the curved glass is garbage compared to having a screen protector that actually goes on and stays on, without the little "clicking" sounds made because it isn't "pressured" sealed on..

I am using the Whitestone Dome. a bit of a PITA to put on but it is the best screen protector I have ever had. works perfectly with the curved screen.

I have had my note for two weeks and it's pretty good.

Update: after installing the phone shows its on the October 1st security patch. And calling plus now displays instead of wifi calling.

Just got this! Woohoo! About time since it looked as if the GS8 was getting all the love.

Also noticed an updated design for the signal bars, they now have individual bars instead of a solid one. 

Wonder why the signal bars are changing. Is that for all Android devices not just Sprint?

 

What's in this update?

How's the performance after the update? Have you used the calling plus?

I had a chance to use Calling Plus on the drive home yesterday and it was very cool to be on the call and still use data. It's only been the one time so I can't make any real judgments on it.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
