LOL I just checked the email on my sprint account and I got it also. Maybe they're trying to not so subtly hinting that an update is coming shortly?

If its not coming in the very near future... I think they shouldn't have sent the email out. Sprint has to know that there are many people who are waiting for this update.

I look at this the same as when Sprint said it was coming earlier on. They're just going off the information they have. If its delayed again, it'll be unforseen circumstances again.

Are we really still posting this blogspam? It's a maintenance update. No big functional or visual changes will be made until the next major release.

 

Also, that article took all the information from this AP article http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/05/09/rumor-google-exploring-home-screen-overhaul-with-revamped-notification-shade-recents-menu-and-more/.

I don't think it was posted as anything other than interesting. Which it kind of was. Thanks for the original article though.

Sorry I didn't know it was "blogspam" I'll be more careful next time. Just found it on my Google now and thought it was interesting to share. Anyways thanks for the original article.

I've gotten the exact same email before. A couple of times. I think it's just a generic thing they send out.

 

Same, and while I don't really mind this one too much (other than that it wants me to check for an update that's 6 months old), I could do without the dozen plus copies of the "The network in your area has been upgraded!" email.  Every single one is identical...  :wacko:

Had to fastboot reset my phone last night because my cache became corrupt so I am back on the .23 modem. Well it looks like I am having no problems connecting to the B41 site near me with it. Funny how it is hit or miss with .17 and .23

Spell checker liked it.

 

My spell checkers are on either side of my nose and between my ears.

Do any of you guys have a preferred custom recovery for the N5?

 

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

 

TWRP, for two reasons: It lets you backup your partitions separately (including your EFS partition, which is great for swapping PRLs and such), and it doesn't hold your backups hostage. ClockworkMod made a change a while back in the name of security which puts your backups in a location on the phone that you can't easily pull them to your computer. ROM Manager has a feature that allows you to access your CWM backups over HTTP to archive them on your computer, but it's paid-only.

TWRP. I tried CWM and it was confusing and buggy as crap for me so I went right to TWRP. Granted I haven't used CWM since then...

Yeah, I used to be a huge fan of CWM recovery. I just got used to it from the OG EVO days. But that new security feature where I can't export my backup to a PC or something really killed it for me. TWRP all the way now.

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this. Whenever I try to change my band settings to anything other than b41-1, b25-2, and b26-3. Only thing I get is 0,1,3.  Regardless of the settings that what I get. If I use the 0,1,3 setting will it still scan the bands properly? I'm on .15 modem firmware. I want to change it to b26-1, b41-2, and b25-3. Is there a problem with my device or is it the modem that I'm using causing this?

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
