Samsung Galaxy S III

When I send a picture to someone it sends it as a 5 second video. Anyone notice this?

 

I am not having that problem, just tested it to be sure. The file is received as a JPEG.

Yes if I send it to myself it works fine. But if I send it to someone else, it shows up as a video. Actually I googled this issue and found this is a common problem on Samsung/Android phones.

Still havent received LG8. How is OTA order determined for updates...?

 

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Forum Runner

 

I haven't received it either. I'm wondering if they are only pushing it out to launched markets? Or maybe just starting with launched markets first.

From what I understand, the OTA rollouts are random. I have seen reports from users on other forums who got the LG8 but are not in a launched LTE market. The update does include other stuff besides the "optimized LTE system selection."

 

BTW, I have finally joined the ranks of GS3 owners waiting for LTE. I received and activated my 32GB model last night. It updated OTA in two cycles, bringing the version up to LG2. If I get the LG8 update pushed to me in the next couple of days I will refuse it because I already have the update.zip downloaded and prefer to apply it manually. My plan is to do that at the beginning of my field trip to Waco, because I want to see a before-and-after on the signal-strength reporting between LG2 and LG8 when I first get into LTE territory. Then I will update to LG8 for the main body of testing.

 

Robert, is the screen you call the "LTE engineering screen" to show LTE signal strength just the Settings -> About Device -> Status screen, or is there another path to the screen you have described? EDIT: Never mind. I just found it under the DATA menu tree..

It's in ##DEBUG#, using your phone dialer.

Thx. I bypassed the dialer and launched from a shortcut to the hidden menu, using the Quick Shortcut Maker app.

 

I have one I created using Anycut. I have shortcuts to all my frequently used dialer functions.

strange. i can get into the ##3282# with my MSL but can't access the ##debug# as it tells me that my lock code is invalid. did Sammy or Sprint somehow create two entirely different MSL's per device?

 

UPDATE: Nevermind.... I needed the standard debug code of 777468 to unlock the debug menu. Definitely not my MSL

Mine had an update as I was setting it up.

 

I was almost postive that when I switched over to CDMA/LTE that I'd grab me some LTE goodness lol :P

In Sacto? You definitely are an optimist! :)

LOL,I even envisioned emailing you screen shots of my LTE connectivity :rofl:

 

But I guess its better to be a optimist over a pessimist~

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
