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.

If you ever find it again, and if it's for the Note 4, let me know. I love the wireless charging, but I also like to have a slim case too. It's just a little difficult to have the best of both when I haven't found a case that is truly designed for it.

Has anyone had a pop up at the bottom of the screen saying "Sim refreshing"? It said that then had no signal for probably 10 minutes at least. Is that normal or no?

I know a number of people have complained about it on XDA.  Someone said it helped to set location info to GPS only. (Location > Mode > GPS Only)

No issues here.

Same. I haven't experienced GPS issues on any of the different versions of software. It locks within about 3 seconds of me turning it on. I usually leave it on power saving mode and just turn it on as needed.

Anybody know how to fix my error? I hit the wrong combination of buttons and ended up in a screen that I don't know how to get out of.

 

At the top left of the screen, it says Odin mode (high speed) and I see a large android guy in the middle. It says downloading... Do not turn off target.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I don't think it's downloading anything but I'm afraid to try to turn it off without somebody telling me if there's a specific way to do it without bricking my phone.

I was trying to get into the stock recovery to clear the system cache. I must have hit volume down instead of up. My phone got so sluggish but it seems better now that I deleted the system cache again.

 

It was taking me about 15 seconds to be able to answer a phone call. It would ring but nothing would come on the screen for what seemed like forever to be able to answer the call. If this doesn't fix it in the long run, I may need to do a wipe and start over again.

Anyone else had LTE problems with the phone?  Mine seems to drop LTE after a while and won't reconnect until I reboot.  Have tried searching for answers and only one seems to be a SIM replacement.  Anyone else have experience with this?

It's been dropping for me pretty frequently too but I think it's the network doing it's thing. However I've been getting no sim card several times a day lately. Called Sprint last night told them about it and they wanted to charge me $40 for a new one. My reply was "the phone is 6 month old and you are going to charge for a new one" then she tried to get me to upgrade phones. I was dumbfounded and replied I would like to be transferred to the disconnection Dept to cancel all 9 lines please. Sir wait please "OK" I credited your account $40 for the cost of a new sim card.

Oh wow! That is a rip off right there.  Sprint will give you those suckers for free if you contact the international customer service department.  I was reading that a new sim card might fix the LTE problem so I did a chat with international support and got a SIM ordered in about 5 minutes.  The only charge would've been for overnight shipping.  I stayed with regular shipping so it didn't cost me a thing.  The new sim should arrive today, which is basically 2 day shipping.  

 

FYI, it's not just the dropping LTE, it's that once dropped the phone won't connect back to LTE.  Even if I'm in the same place.  It won't reconnect to LTE until I restart the phone.  

 

Update: Here is the link to International Chat.  Use this if you ever have need to order a SIM card.  If they ever ask for a reason why you need a sim I'd just tell them that you purchased a used Sprint phone that didn't come with one.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
