Well, I'm not sure about full DND, just DND that is used on individual conversations in the messages app. Before 8.2 when I had DND enabled in a group message, I would still get a visual notification/NC notification, but I wouldn't get a sound, which I loved. After 8.2, I get absolutely nothing. Well, I get a app badge notification, which absolutely sucks. I can look at my phone and see there are no notifications but then I unlock my phone and see on my messages app that i have 30 un-read messages. I hate it.

 

 

See, that's the opposite of how I feel. I feel it was always broken, and 8.2 actually fixed that feature. I have several friends who find it necessary to send out 8-10 people group texts for weekend activities, and it drives me nuts. Before, DND on the convo, it would still flash my camera light, and light up my screen, showing the messages on the lock screen, and I thought that was dumb. They do everything but make the alert sound. Now, it's like you said, nothing. Only the badge above the messages icon, and I'm really happy. I keep telling my friends, text for single conversations, Facebook for group chats. It's so easy to remove yourself, and silence alerts for X amount of time, or permanently on Facebook. Plus, the thread flow is more accurate and easier to follow. In those group texts, there are a few without iPhones, causing the typical SMS delay, out-of-order thread flow.

It'd be nice if Apple gave us the option to leave visual notifications on when DND is on. That way you could have it your way and I could have it my way. Lol.

Apple fans have to have some unique feature that differentiates from android users from the past ;).

Looks Sprint is re-provisioning the iPhone 6 back to PRL 55023. I get band class 10 now. 2-3 bars and I can make calls in my basement. :-)

When did they release that PRL I'm still on 51105

55023 here. My phone appeared to re-provision itself about an hour ago. I momentarily lost service.

Same here now. Is this the original PRL we had were it would literally switch bands in seconds after detecting it.

It must have been yesterday or today. I'm on 8.3 beta 4 and with this PRL, the voice RF is outstanding. I've had this phone for a month and this is the first time I've been on 800 voice. I'm in an area where it can be about 13 -25 miles between towers.

I'm on the same beta you are on. Is it public or developer.

I'm not sure. I can never find an accurate answer to whether or not a PRL controls LTE band switching. And yes, I've read our article on PRLs. I think the instant band switching was lost when we went from carrier 17.0 to 18.0 with one of the iOS releases.

FYI 8.3 beta 4 uses Carrier 19.0. It's a lot quicker/smoother changing bands now. I'm just happy "I finally" have 800 voice.

Do explain. What are you seeing? Less 3G and more band 26? I'm in an email conversation currently with Sprint executives and network engineers trying to get to the bottom of this.

example:  Driving into town I always had 3G and 5 minutes later when i got home it would switch to 4G. that was fine, but now now it detects 4G more often than and 3G on my way home. One thing I've noticed on the OLD PRL is that I would be  on band 41/25, enter a building it would drop to 3G,  and then about 5 minutes later it would switch to band 26.

Exactly. These phones are skipping right over band 26, and Sprint needs to fix that immediately. The less the average person sees "3G" on their phone, the better Sprint's reputation will be.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
