Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk Weird, I've not had any issues with Wi-Fi calling. I had a 45-minute phone interview for a potential job on Friday, using WFC with my GN4, and the woman I was talking to didn't have any issues hearing anything I said. In fact, it was apparently clear enough for her to comment that I sound like one of the company's employees. I wonder if there's an issue with your network or your phone. On a side note, it always throws me off when I see your location because I live about 20 minutes from Saratoga Springs, NY, so I'm not expecting to see UT in your location.

mideastbeast Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 My home internet is slow dsl but Wi-Fi calling works perfect for me. I think it sounds even better than a strong Sprint signal.

bosox801 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Are you using an 801.1ac connection? I haven't tried it on my other network? Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankbear Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Has anyone ran into the problem where the GPS keeps disabling itself? Constantly. I finally had to load Tasker and have it constantly change the GPS mode to Low Power and to High Accuracy whenever Map or Waze is active. That has made my experience much, much better, particularly with Android Wear and the weather on watchfaces (which was driving me nuts, before). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXLINE Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 my phone downloaded the NK2 OTA but after reading about it I am scared to install. Any positive reports on here with the update? Battery life? It seems like every time I get a new phone then take the OTA it gets worse battery life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljayyy91 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hey just curious about sosomething with these single path devices. I had an s3 before my HTC one max and I used dual window a lot on lunch to watch YouTube and txt at the same time... I wondering if that's still possible with tri band phones. Have an upgrade soon and just lookin at my options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosox801 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I know this has been brought before but lack of svlte or lack of ability to use data while on a call is a horrible business decision in my opinion. I'm surprised Verizon s marketing department hasn't taken advantage of this. Especially in flagship devices!

It was SvLTE or Tri-Band. It was not possible (or at least cost prohibitive) to have both. OEMs weren't willing to do TDD-LTE+FDD-LTE+SvLTE.

Actually if you use the words "cost prohibitive" then its a money decision which to me means a business decision. Couple of thoughts in no particular order. Doesnt verizons note for work on multiple bands while still supporting data and voice at the same time? If it kicks you off lte during a call why cant it be designed to kick on EVDO while on a call? I guess i find it a hard pill to swallow that i can basically control the universe with this thing but yet I cant try on suits and send a pictures while talking to my fiance. You can give me all the technical reasons you want, but at the end of the day I just think its lame! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can give me all the technical reasons you want, but at the end of the day I just think its lame! The key is TDD+FDD. Yes, Verizon's devices have multiple bands, but they are all FDD-LTE. OEMs were unwilling to produce devices that had TDD+FDD+SvLTE without jacking up the prices. Would you have been willing to pay $1,000+ for your Note 4? Doubt it. For whatever reason (I am not an engineer) making SvLTE work with TDD+FDD is very difficult. In order to get FDD+TDD into the same device, they had to use a single path radio, which eliminates any possibility of SvLTE or SvDO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung usually releases a new faster variant of most flagship phones in S. Korea only. I guess we'll see what happens though. Sent from my Note 4.

You can give me all the technical reasons you want, but at the end of the day I just think its lame! Sheesh, not this again. Can we put the flagellation over SVLTE to bed once and for all? Here are the issues: Single RF path was not as much of a "business decision" as it was an engineering choice. It performs better and allows the designs of nearly all other handsets in the world also to be used for Sprint. SVDO is gone. EV-DO is not a simultaneous possibility -- because it shares the same RF path with CDMA1X or LTE or both. For SVLTE, VZW requires specially designed handsets that limit performance and selection. However, not all VZW handsets support SVLTE. Many do not. Most people do not notice simultaneous voice and data capability (or lack thereof). Finally, if you MUST have simultaneous voice and data, you DO have options: use Wi-Fi, use VoIP, wait for VoLTE, or go find another provider.
