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 got the same thing. I just ignored it. I am sure we will find it out here before Sprint sends something official.

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...

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

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

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...

Thanks guys. Was on CWM and I had a suspicion that is was responsible for some of the corrupt data when I tried clearing my phone yesterday.

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.

You guys are convincing me to switch, carry on!

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?
