I have, but it's pretty limited where it can be used right now. You can delete a card anytime you want.

Sweet thanks, I'm tempted to go up to a note 5 but I'm kinda waiting to see if sprint is gonna carry the priv. I've heard that samsung pay works at a lot more places because it uses something that virtualize the card swipe. If that works with them would android pay support it with a update?

Adding VoLTE to a handset is not quite as simple as a willy nilly firmware update.  Yes, from a technical standpoint, a firmware update is all that is needed, since recent Qualcomm chipsets readily su

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.

You mean the virtual credit card swipe? If so, then no. Samsung Pay uses technology Samsung acquired from a company called LoopPay. It requires that hardware be integrated into the device. That's why it only works on the Galaxy s6 and higher.

Well only reason I've thought about upgrading is my note 4 is getting sluggish sometime, gps drops sometimes, and the screen dosent wake when I get a call every so often. I've done a few hard resets and battery pulls, and sprint said they can't give me a refurbished since they say it's software relates so yay me. I'll see what happens though

Have you done a factory reset? I had some of those same issues until I did a factory reset.

Sometimes if you are using an app it'll stick on 3G like Google Maps seems to do this.  However, I have noticed this a couple of times over the last week where I drop to 3G where I normally don't and need to airplane mode.

Was there a PRL update in the past week or two? My Note 4 reception has gone to crap, and it keeps dropping into roaming. Roaming... in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. It was very rare that would happen in DFW. Now, it frequently happens, like I'm driving out in the country.

 

The worst part is the OS bug which ignores the roam guard setting. I have it turned off, and the phone still pops up the roam guard warning screen. Click "Don't show this again." and OK and it keeps coming back again and again.

 

I did a PRL Update, profile update and restarted the phone. No change.

I haven't had any issues here, but I'm in another market (Shentel). You may want to post this in your market thread too, if you haven't done so already. There's a chance it could be a market problem and not an issue everywhere.

All my pins are the same length. I have not had any issues with the phone locking up, at least not since the 5.1 update.

Will there be any software updates for the Sprint Note 4 to remove Spark startup screen and the spinning walmart like icon?

From what I've read, Samsung is still going to update the Note 4, at least to 6.0. That may be the last major update though as the phone is 16 months old now.

It seems like a legit document, but keep in mind the 910G is one of the international variants, not the Sprint model. Sprint's (910P) will likely get Marshmallow after that version. If April is when the update will start rolling out, it likely could be May/June, at the earliest, before Sprint's variant gets the update.

Samsung should be ashamed that it takes them 6-9 months to push out a update. There security updates are also a joke. We are still on the November build.

Marshmallow 6.01 beta has been leaked on XDA. Looks official. I'm not going to install since I'm not sure if that will cause an issue when the final release comes, but there's some eye candy in the meantime :)

 

As expected the Wal-Mart Spark spinner is gone!

 

In fact it sounds buggy so I wouldn't recommend it.

Finally. Hope this leads to an update soon.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
