KTU65 is a leaked build! Hopefully includes Triband radio software

Where is it leaked? There are often sightings of different/newer Nexus builds in the wild.. presumably that's Google people testing things out. Don't get me wrong, I want the update too.. but this isn't the first time something like this has been spotted. I don't think anyone ever doubted that Google was continuing work on the N5.

Ah well it's good to see that this may be a possibility in the near future.  With any luck this will contain the spark update in addition to the other bug fixes.

 better explained at myce.com.  The fact that google does not intend to fix this bug tells me they are close.

Did you do any tricks (PRL trick, etc.) or you just randomly decided to check and it was on Band 26? Being in Orange County, CA I won't be seeing the likes of band 26 anytime soon, so I'm just jealous of you guys. :P

Did you happen to notice what the signal difference was when you were connected to b25 and b26?

So does anybody know the deal with the lack of voicemail notifications? I get none when someone leaves me a message. I did some sniffing on the web and apparently it's quite widespread.

 

I haven't got my MSL yet so I can't horse with the bands, which sucks cuz I knows there's band 41 everywhere! And probably band 26 too.

 

I so far do like the phone very much. I got red and it's more of a dark orange then red. I like how fast texts go through. They were slow on the iPhone and S3. Adjusting to android from iOS has been much easier for me then previous versions of both.

Some will say to incorporate google voice to your device, I haven't. Holding the 1 button will work but you have to set your mailbox up.

It's the quickest and easiest way to do it. Gives you visual voicemail as well. You don't even have to integrate it, just to the "light" route and set it up for voicemail only. Simple.

Google voice is a good temporary fix but I want the regular VM to work. I borrowed a TMO SIM stuck it in my phone, left myself a message and the notification worked just fine.

It was just random. I was waiting at a bus stop for the rodeo and noticed great service so I checked.

Band 25 was completely unusable -115 and higher. Band 26 had full bars and was around mid 70s. Also much higher speeds on b26

Me, too and I have no idea why but it's very annoying

Gosh I get those too and always think my phone is going to explode because they come in 5 or 6 at a time. I think it's voicemail related (says something about voicemail in the text) although I never have a voicemail when I get them.

    • Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!
    • That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.
    • 417.55 MB September security update just downloaded here for S24+ unlocked   Edit:  after Sept security update install, checked and found a 13MB GP System update as well.  Still showing August 1st there however. 
    • T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.  
    • Still nothing for my AT&T and Visible phones.
