808Bill Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 5 hours after update, GPS hasnt broken once! We might be in business here! 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.

Paynefanbro Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah, the GPS issues were a nuissance. But I am loving the camera features quite a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Slaughter Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Odd the update puts band priority as the below: 25>26>41 Would of expected it to ideally need to be 41>25>26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstar2002 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kct1975 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy_vag Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnygATL Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmachine Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Can VoLTE just "happen?" Or, would it require some kind of software update first. Sent from my iPhone 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmachine Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 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." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrknowitall526 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swiped open SCP and it also displayed LTE during this call. 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.

Additionally, does the E8 support DotView cases in general? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes! When I double tap the screen just wakes up like normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
