mmark27 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It reports b41 if ur on a Sprint tower signal, it doesnt, at least for me, if ur on a clearwire b41 signal. That's probably why mine wasn't showing B41 despite my ridiculous speeds in STL as those are all conversion sites at this point. sent from an underwater dust storm with my Sprint S5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraydog Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Anyone get into engineering mode and see if they're connected to 310-490? That's Clear's MCC-MNC. That shows that you're on a converted B41 site that was initially installed by Clearwire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostkilla1388 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I haven't gotten any B41 but I have had plenty of B26 fringe and b25 fringe both are about equal for the signal I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbastard Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks guys for the help. Sadly I'm still a Band 41 LTE virgin.Popped my cherry. Yay...BUT, I had no Internet access through B41 and had to go to LTE only mode to even access it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey SR Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 So I have been using ART since the wifi calling update. It finally gave me trouble a few minutes ago to the point I had to pull the battery. Even then it would start up and freeze once hitting the home screen. Pulled it about 6 more times before I got the "android is updating" screen which reverted back to dalvik on its own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey SR Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Anyone have issues with the youtube app. Eventually the video freezes but audio continues. I tried removing the updates/clear the app and nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuunkychicken Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yep, randomly stops (video) but audio is fine. Don't know if it's a glitch or something with the app on S5's. It happens on my Note 3 as well. I don't know if it's all devices or just Samsung in particular. It never happened on my M8.

I tried removing the updates/clear the app and nothing. Just noticed this about 2 days ago as well. I've had this issue too. I've also had issues with Youtube videos playing in the Chrome Browser (like embedded) causing my phone to reboot. I think these have to be Google issues and not really S5 issues exactly.

ghostkilla1388 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Wish there was a fix for the freezing. I keep wanting to show some videos but can't. Or when I lik bored at work :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or when I lik bored at work :/There is a fix, don't get a Samsung;). On a serious note, which version of YouTube are you guys running? Mines 5.7.41 and I've never had the issues you guys are having which suggest it's not Google's problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPdownLoAD Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I believe the YouTube issue may be caused by the RSTP server Sprint uses. Blank it out in ##DATA# under Multimedia and that should help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Anytime you activate a phone online, you should get an email from sprint verifying the activation. In that email, you should have your MSL code listed as "Activation Code". Just an FYI 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it in the ##DATA# screen for the MSL code and it DID work. :-) I had no idea that this was the MSL code. I was just going to delete this email.

Joey SR Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Well I have about had it with wifi calling. After a minute or two on a call my wifi ends up resetting on the phone. Another case is I will not receive calls or texts which I have to disable it and reset the phone. Also there have been times leaving wifi it will not connect to the towers and needs a reset.
