Nope.  Give me a break of your KitKat, all you Android version obsessives.

We see what you did there. Totes McGoats!

That is a straw man argument, and you know it.  HTML browsing is never -- never -- the issue with excessive data usage.  So, give me a break.

Does the 4.4.3 update help with battery life now?

Update your device and let me know.

??? That is why I am asking

Still waiting on the OTA. At this rate I'll be side loading it when I get home. Side note, las Vegas on 4.4.2 is a nightmare.

Haha, I got the ota, and Vegas is still a nightmare. It seems there is LTE everywhere, except where I need it. I haven't gotten band 26 or band 41 after the update so don't hold your breath.

Yep, there is a beta xposed module called xHalo that is reported to do just that. Here is the info from XDA...[MOD][XPOSED][iCS/JB/KK] XHaloFloatingWindow beta2.34 - Movable & Resizable Halo Popup for Xposed FrameworkLet us know how it works for you.Sent from my "Up All Night Sleep All Day" Nexus 5!

So I havehad time to play with it but it can be very very glitchy. I have more preference for the pop up window after playing with it but the multiwindow has an advantage because it let's me have quick access to other apps without having to exist the app I'm in.

You could flash Paranoid Android and use hover. /shameless plug (I'm a dev)

Yes. I love PA.

Sprint may have flipped a csfb switch in my area on Band 41. I am on the .13 radio, and I've had all bands enabled all morning. I have not switched over to 3G once. I went up to a usual trouble spot, where I was previously guaranteed to be thrown to 3G on .13, and I was not pushed to 3G. My phone even moved over to Band 41 and stayed there, but then moved back to Band 25 when I got further away.

 

I don't know if this is related to my complaint on the Sprint forums I wrote here:

https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/162466

 

I am going to stay on .13 with all bands enabled for further testing.

I think I'm just going to hang out on .15 until I stop seeing sites around me that report "telephone calls unavailable" in SignalCheck Pro. There are a few places I go that are more NV complete than my home, and so far flashing .13 before I head there has given me good results. Texas Motor Speedway and Lakeview, TX on .13 are pretty great. So is Saginaw.

Still waiting for the OTA here as well. I thought the rollout was to be completed by today. In that case I guess I just might be last on the list. Story of my life!

Don't feel bad, I'm still waiting too.

Do not give up hope I just got the update.

Just received OTA notification.

 

Should I update and degrade my reception? Or, is this truly a Sprint network issue which one would experience anyway when not upgrading?

Update it contains lots of bug fixes. If it degrades your reception just flash the .15 radio.

no one can really answer that, it is all dependent on the areas you are frequently at and at what stage of upgradeness they are at.

 

If you area is plagued by ECSFB issues, then you may end up on 3g alot until those sites are upgraded.

 

If you are in a mature market, then likely you will have better coverage due to additional lte800 and lte2600 availability.

Nexus 5 for signal. G2 for battery, camera and features.

I want to go back to android and it's down to two phones, the LG G2 or the Nexus 5. I live in a rural and fringe area. I have the iPhone 5s right now and my signal goes from 1-2 bars 3G. Which one would be the best choice?

Don't forget software, and also screen sensitivity. Its worlds more precise than the G2...

If I were you I'd wait a few weeks for G3 information before going through with a purchase, especially since it sounds like youll be paying close to retail if you have a 5S now.
