Well its been one hell of a ride with my old phone and waiting for the Note 2.   I bought 2 Notes at the end of Oct and was hoping they would arrive before my vacation, but due to the storm they did

Heh, I wonder if this update includes Knox 2.0 and an updated bootloader?  I fell for 4.3 and got my bootloader updated so I can't go back.  I think I'll stick with Omni until I hear confirmation on these things.  :nono:

So what do you think of the Gal W? Are you going to trade in your GNII for one of these "small" phones? (Assuming they ever come to the US)

I'm going to wipe and go back to 4.3 stock and then take the upgrade.  I'll let you know

Any thoughts on the upgrade from users?  Seems to be mostly cosmetic changes, and multi window enhancements.

 

I manually loaded the update (after I flashed back to 4.3 stock because I was rooted).

I'm liking the update, on full stock getting better battery and no "oddities"

Wishful thinking, but I wonder if anything was done to address the 1x800 issue. What PRL does your phone show? Still 2015?

It has been mentioned before that PRL is device type specific. They can't tell what ROM you are using. So if somehow 1x800 is approved for everyone with the new ROM/radio firmware, they wouldn't do a PRL change until everyone would have received the new ROM.

Makes sense.

 

Still on custom 512

513 here. Runs great in this market for me!

Unfortunately, my device has never worked on 1x800, so I don't get to play with 512 or 513. Oh well. Thanks anyway!

Mine works, though if the 1x800 signal isn't high, it seems low 1900 reception is better than a 1x800 signal that might be slightly stronger.  I'm not sure if that is my phone or if that is the case on other phones.  So maybe you aren't missing anything!

 

Seems to work well if the signal is strong though.

Can I still get the update even tho the phone is not active on my acct but using Wi-Fi?

I don't see why not.  I recently got my Nexus 5 update and it wasn't activated either.  Other option is Kies if you want to install that on your computer.

Or side load the update via stock recovery

Need the Sprint Base so I can rip it apart. ;)

I'd help if I knew how to get you what you need lol. My phone has promoted me but I don't want to break it with the update.

I'm keeping my eyes out. I'd rather not use the VZW port or the base only.

So you want the sprint factory image? Or something to that extent?

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
