Just installed the update. Didn't we have a mobile data quick toggle in the notiication pull-down shade on 4.2? I'm not finding it on 4.3. I used that a lot and it'll be more inconvenient to have to go into the menu to turn it on/off now. I do like the new 4GLTE icon, which makes it easier to tell the difference between 3G and 4G with a quick glance (assuming the 3G icon stayed the same, which I haven't seen yet).

Since no one wants to open a gs4 user thread, I decided to go ahead and open one myself. I went to sprint this morning and the phone whore in me held a gun to my head and forced me to get a gs4. So

I turn off my Sprint LTE to use 3G at lunch time since it is faster

Yep.  S4GRU has already published an article on the new tri band LTE variant.  Damn, we are fast...   http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-356-teaser-samsung-galaxy-s4-2-3/   AJ

Yes, it appears the data toggle is gone.  However, you can now limit the number of toggles present, which is a nice feature.  I never used the data toggle.  Just the airplane mode toggle to force a LTE search.

 

3G and 4G icons are different.  Although I don't see much of the 4G round these parts.

 

The WiFi is greatly improved on MJA, I'm not seeing drops constantly either like I was on previous builds.  There was a problem with multiple Access Point WiFi before. That seems better.

I like to keep data turned off when I'm not using it to save battery when I'm going to be away from a charger all day so I liked the data toggle. Not a big deal, I can still do it through the menus. I've never really noticed problems with Wifi connectivity with the phone but if Wifi's improved, that can't be a bad thing. I won't be able to test it ntil I get home from work.

I read wifi issues and boot boot issues as I recall now probably root related but still no update so I wonder

Those are root related only. My WiFi rocks now!!! If you're stock, do it!

i believe this is the s4 mini though correct?

 

No.  I posted a correction to your comment and even a clarification to the article.  Please go read it.  Too many people erroneously think that the tri band Galaxy S4 has to be the announced Mini.  In actuality, two tri band Galaxy S4 models have received FCC authorization.

Well I'll download it tonight over Google servers with DAM, I wonder why the update hasn't been pushed out to everyone at this point in time

 

The roll out is a standard staged roll out where device IDs are randomly sent the update everyday.

I'm really hoping that they (Samsung or Sprint) do some sort of good price trade for the S4 non-tri-band (SPH-L720) when this Tri-band comes out.  I will probably try to purchase this phone if the difference comes out near/under $200 as I already have the supplies as long as the battery and dimensions configuration is the same to the SPH-L720.  I'll have an upgrade due in March and then again in July if necessary as well though.  I didn't fully understand the situation when I bought the S4, I was such a greenhorn to this site.....oh, if only I read more back then.

you can add a widget for it, used to have a widget to toggle the data on my S2.

The more I use this phone with 4.3, then more I'm impressed. Overall speed is much faster, voice to text is better, data connectivity is a lot more stable, WiFi improved, etc., etc.

Wow, I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks for the reminder. I guess I just got so used to having the toggle for it that I forgot about using a widget.

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.
