Here are B41 LTE screenshots from the Los Angeles area and the B41 LTE speeds are REAL!!!! Holy cow!! Thank you Robert, AJ and all the staff at S4GRU for providing this wonderful information about B41

To the people reporting poor Band 25 reception.   Did you enable Band 26 and Band 41?   Maybe Sprint was already ahead of you on this and you actually are causing the problem?   Maybe they made

Go to settings>apps>all and find and click on google services framework.  Click Force Stop and then Clear Data, then immediately try do to an update.  When you attempt an update it should show that the last checked date was 1969 or some such.

 

This worked for me on the first try, but some people are reporting it takes several tries.

I was doing it without force stopping first.  First try after force stopping, it worked.

Just to reiterate... if you are sideloading the update. YOU MUST DO IT THREE TIMES IN A ROW VIA ADB. The first two will stop and reboot to recovery automatically again, and the third will finally go all the way through.

 

I thought I had bricked my device but after doing that I still had all my info intact, no need to flash back and upgrade through again, that's a waste of time.

But you really dont have to sideload. Just use the Google Services Framework trick that a bunch of us used. Updated my wife's phone the same way last night when I got home from work. It just takes a couple tries for most.

Noticed there must have been bluetooth stack changes in this upgrade too. My car is connecting to the phone almost instantly now and displays all my song info perfectly, whereas before it would show "unknown" most of the time.

With KK you can now say "Ok Google" and google now pops up.  Of course you can do that with your Nexus 7 since it has been on KK for awhile now.  You just got used to it on your Nexus 7 but didn't realize that it was a KK feature.  It doesn't work on JB for the "Ok google" phrase.

 

Does yours work from your home screen? Mine only works when I have google search open on the phone.

I noticed that when I went into the gallery to show a picture to a friend it said "camera" then "camera(old)". Basically any pics before the update are in the camera old and and pics after the update are in camera. Kinda annoying.

I've tried the google frameworks trick an insane amount of times but still no dice. I have tried just force stop, force stop and then clear data, force stop and clear both data and cache, force stop and just clear cache, force stop and wait 15 minutes and checked, force stop and cleared data and restart then checked but no such luck. I guess I will have to play the waiting fame like with the ZVA update.

 

On the up side, I am not too excited about the reports of losing the hidden menu. Also, I was hoping to see wifi calling, true split screen and better rf performance but it looks like none of that will be present. That kind of takes some of the excitement out of this update.

I'm not happy about losing the hidden menu either. I thought I was the only person that was bothered by this. LTE only helps with troubleshooting issues from time to time and I really don't want to give that up.

Well none of those things were said to be in the update so don't be too disappointed man. :)

Once rooted base is out, I'll slap hidden menu in there and see if the underlying hooks are still in there. They didn't put Hidden Menu in the Flex from the get go. 

 

I do not see an "LTE Only" setting.  That would be under the "Mobile networks" category, correct?

 

Not correct, it was accessible via dialer code 5689#*980#

Is anybody experiencing fast battery drains with the update? Mine is draining about 15-20% on 15 minutes of light use. Before kk I might have gone through 2-3% at the most. All settings on my phone are the same as they were before the update. I installed it the normal way.

Yes the battery does not charge nearly as fast as it did before. I use to could fully charge my battery in a hour definitely not even close now.

After updating to ZVC yesterday I've seen excellent battery usage, increased sound quality in calls and faster connects when dialing out in fringe zones.  The interface seems to be a bit snappier, also.  LTE seems quite solid, if not a bit faster - though I'm not in a Spark market yet.

 

Given what I have tested, I'm quite happy with the update.

 

I did do a couple of hard resets after the ZVC update, so this may have corrected some of the issues that folks are seeing here.

I want to do exactly what you did after I receive my KK update. When you stated you did a couple of hard resets after the update, do you literally mean a couple as in two hard resets back to back?

So are you saying once it is rooted we might get the hidden menu back?

I did a full reboot after the initial ZVC update, updated and installed apps and changed settings to what I wanted, then rebooted again and plugged it in to top off the battery.

 

The battery is now at 74% with 20.5 hours of usage with expected time to use at 76 hours.

 

I will state that I've not done a lot of screen time on it since updated, but have had 45 minutes to an hour of voice calls.

Anyone know of a ZVA TOT file? A friend took the update, discovered the removed hidden menu and would like to roll back. We get B41 here and it fills in where we don't yet have B25. That for me is a deal breaker as well. Definitely waiting on the stock rooted with hidden menu.

So can it be set to LTE now?  Or does the "it was accessible" mean no longer.

Yes I am experiencing that as well.  Have you looked at your battery status to see what applications are draining your battery?

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
