I didn't experience any issues at all with GPS during this morning's commute. I was looking forward to this part of the update more than the new camera features.

Yeah, the GPS issues were a nuissance. But I am loving the camera features quite a lot.

Odd the update puts band priority as the below:

25>26>41

 

 

Would of expected it to ideally need to be 41>25>26

It's only an initial scan. It means nothing. You'll always end up wherever the network deems necessary.

GPS still hasnt flopped once.

 

My big gripe now is that they still havent fixed the Bluetooth connections.  My S3 would connect to my truck instantly, all the time, the M8 connects instantly 1 in 10 times, the rest require bluetooth to be toggled, sometimes rebooting the phone, and sometimes it still doesnt work and takes 10-15 minutes after the reboot.

 

Get on that HTC will ya?

I just got the latest Firmware update yesterday, and I tested out Google Maps with the WiFi Calling feature still on and Google Maps finally worked properly...it seems that the problem was finally resolved

[808Bill]

And the 90 day clock to Lollipop has started.

Have your tried to send and receive MMS?

Nope...why...is that messed up now?

Sending and receiving of MMS never worked on the original WiFi Calling release and seems like it still isn't fixed.

 

The feature is a non starter if I can't get messages.

That's incorrect. I send and receive MMS non stop on WiFi Calling. I'm currently in a group message where I receive hundreds of texts a day though MMS. There have been 0 problems so far. In fact, I think my phone connects to WiFi calling much faster and better after the update.

Are you using hangouts or the old app?

I use the stock messaging app.

After the signal check pro update the app still has trouble identifying band 41 with this phone. Signal check indicates band 25 but speedtests and the engineering screen indicate band 41.

Anyone else ever experience this with their M8:

 

I placed a call on my hands free system and instead of "Sprint" appearing on the car's display, it displayed the PLMN "311 490".

 

Now, it gets more bizarre.  Instead of my phone showing it being connected to 1x, it still showed LTE.  I swiped open SCP and it also displayed LTE during this call.

 

Is it even remotely possible this was a VoLTE call?  Or was it just some anomaly with the phone's OS?

 

It has only happened once.

[Vince]

Can VoLTE just "happen?" Or, would it require some kind of software update first.

It'll likely require a software update.

[bigmachine]

It'll likely require a software update.

That's what I thought... Not to mention everything that would have to happen on the network side.

 

I'm prepared to call what happened an "undocumented feature."

I realize probably no one reads the E8 thread, so I'll post this in here.

 

I bought a 3rd party Doc View case on Amazon and I'm not sure if it works.  When I open and close it, the screen turns on and off, but the "dot view" never comes up.  I tried updating the app, but that didn't do anything.  Anyone else have this problem?

I've noticed with the new version of SCP that it'll still show the LTE signal in the notification bar but it says "Suspended" when you swipe it down if you are on the phone.

Did you double tap the screen with the dot view case closed? Additionally, does the E8 support DotView cases in general?

Yes. And yes! When I double tap the screen just wakes up like normal.

I've noticed that too. In this case it didn't happen. The default LTE and Spark symbols remained as well. The call audio was very choppy. Something low level in the phone probably wasn't functioning properly.
