I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

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.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
