Nothing yet here in Chicago...

 

Sorry, I just had to.

Not yet. Info for the update might have been taken down from the Sprint page. I only saw the update from June when I looked.

It's still on the community page though: https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/818914#818914

Hd voice icon. Sweet.

I'm happy about that. Been wondering how to tell if I'm on HD Voice.

You honestly don't need an icon, you'll just know. The icon is just a cool visual addition.

What does it look like?

Probably similar to the screen shot I saw in the g3 thread. It's an unobtrusive "hd" on the phone screen. I'd like something on the status bar myself.

My M8 doesn't have any more room in the status bar!

It really is cramped up there. I wasn't thinking when I made that comment. Ok, I hope it's not in the status bar.

It also like like on the pull down shade, the GPS icon is different, and do not disturb just says dnd.

I've noticed that the browser now goes into full screen by default.

wow does it really have separate bars for 1x and lte? and even shows 800?

 

or is that some kind of addon/custom thing?

(If I am understanding your question) Stock notification bar when connected to lte will show "lte" the spark symbol " * " and the bars.  The bars represent lte strength only being that it connects to only lte until a call comes in then it switches to 1x.  So when you are on a call the bars will then represent 1x strength.

 

EDIT:

 

Based on Roberts response it looks like I totally misunderstood your question, my bad.

He's using SignalCheck Pro for those extra signal strength bars.

Is the native File Manager app new with this version 2.16.651.4? I don't recall having it before with the build.

So it's not the HD Voice icon that now goes into the status bar. But if you enable Wi-Fi calling, you get a new icon there. And in typical HTC fashion, the icon is there whether you're on Wi-Fi or not.

You get an hd icon in the status bar, and the phone screen (see my screenshot). And the Wi-Fi calling icon goes away once you turn it off.

When you turn on WiFi Calling, does the software turn off all other radios?  I loose my 1x800 and eHRPD connections when I turn it on.  Once I turn it off, they reconnect with no problem.  Is data still being received with WiFi Calling enabled?

 

Also when using Signal Check Pro with WiFi Calling enabled and hitting the Reset Mobile Connection button I get an error saying Reset Failed: Root permission required on android 4.2+

WiFi calling disables the other radios, that is correct.

 

You can still use WiFi as normal with WiFi calling enabled.

 

Are you rooted? Rest Data has required root for quite some time now.

OH, lol. I've never used or noticed those before, I've always used net type/signal str.

 

hd call icon is pretty awesome though.

[Fraydog]

So HD Calling works over WiFi? Anyone figure out what voice codec is being used?

I haven't placed a call to or received a call from an HD ready device, but I will say WiFi calling is quite a bit clearer than regular voice calls.
