COZisBack Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 So how is that a safety concern? Just curious. Also do you know if devices that are actually hotspot are in the same ship? The reason I bring this up is I have a chrome cast device on my TV and its only able to see 2.4 and connect to 2.4 wifi. Ive recently discovered how much more throughput i get out of 5ghz on my phones hotspot so I keep it on 5, but after that discovery unfortunately I discovered the issue with the chrome cast only connecting to 2.4. I have since gotten a temp fix for 80 bucks. bought a network extender and the chrome cast connects to that 2.4 signal. Doesn't have anything to do with safety. The WiFi radio shares the same path. Same reason why you don't have SVLTE/SVLTE on Tri-Band Devices. I haven't looked at HotSpot devices on the FCC, I'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmark27 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Oh yeah also had one other question for GS5 users. Is your phone constantly doing software updates? Mine is and I am not sure why. But it keeps brining up that checkmark in a circle saying software update. This happens multiple times a day. I am connected to B26 LTE at the time it happens. Yeah. Started that with the ne5 software. Annoying and hopefully fixed with our next software. Sprint has acknowledged the issue. sent from an underwater dust storm with my Sprint S5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmark27 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Update, NK4, is now out! Go mash the update button. It worked for me! I had to reboot 4 times after update to get everything working. 2 of those were Samsung initiated reboots. Lock screen looks slightly different. Time to dig into what's different. sent from an underwater dust storm with my Sprint S5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmark27 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Has anybody installed this yet? How does it perform? Any bugs noticeable? Based on my screenshot above, I have it installed. I have noticed that so far The Wireless Charging sound is now gone (finally!) The camera appears to load quicker for me, probably placebo effect My phone latches on to B41 LTE2500 from much, much further out My phone book actually downloaded over my bluetooth connection to my Dodge Durango Uconnect system (huge win there) Lock screen dots look different There's now a verified area of settings for apps that are allowed to send text messages to avoid scams/phishing, which is nice although I can't seem to find that settings area again after it popped up Signal Check Pro now reports neighboring cells and PCI information What else are people seeing? Not ready yet to switch over to ART, but hopefully that runs smoother too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumbershoot Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Is anyone else getting a series of texts after the update from the number 9485?. The content appears to be similar to: itson:cAwASAQY3ODU0NDIBCAAAAUnOSAuq I get one every few minutes. If it matters, I'm using Google Hangouts as my SMS client. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Note 4 will get an update soon, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever rooted your phone? That is a provisioning code from Sprint, from what I've been told in the past. You're going to just have to block that number otherwise they'll never stop. I had rooted my S4 and tinkered some with the baseband. Then I started getting those texts and they never stopped until I blacklisted that number. I even gave that phone over to my wife and wiped everything, still got the texts. Very weird, but that was the only resolution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a similar text last night (though from 9355) on my Galaxy Note 4 and I haven't done any kind of rooting or romming to it - probably simply happened because I'm using hangouts for my text message client.

Yeah, it's totally possible its related to Hangouts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer Man, WFC is nice to have when you really, really need it, but I didn't realize I wasn't getting MMS messages (on Hangouts or Messenger(Google one)), missing calls from WiFi AP handoffs or weak spots. It interfered with my GPS lock only in Maps and Waze. It's a mess unless you really need it. Like I said, excellent for dungeons though if you're aware of the issues it can cause. sent from an underwater dust storm with my Sprint S5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_gusto Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ok got the update! How does neighboring cells work? I only get a 2 or 3 digit number. And does it only do same band neighbors? Like can I see b25 neighbors if I'm currently on b41? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the need for location is due to international support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
