Sounds like the GS6 is turning out to be quite a lemon...     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Selling a phone may be a hassle to you but not to me, there is nothing to it if you know what to expect.  In my opinion leasing is a horrible option compared to other current options that are availabl

Looks like the Spark LTE spinner has been retired. I wonder if Samsung is standardizing the UI across all of their devices.

My wife just got the update. I'm wondering if getting rid of the spinner was a Samsung or Sprint decision?

Did the update help reception at all? I just got my wife the s6 from a original moto x and she says she can't keep calls on the line without dropping them... Thinking about returning it.

Make sure she's up to date on updates. The original software had tons of dropped calls. They fixed it with a software update.

Looks similar to stock Android

Yep, I wonder if this is permanent (e.g. Samsung's doing - which I guess is most likely) or is Sprint prepping to improve Spark branding for CA devices.

Can anyone that's in a B41 area check to see if the spark spinner shows up when connected to B41? We don't have it here so my wife can't check that. I've always said that spinner should just show up when on B41, just curious if that's the case.

Well I called Samsung about my test drive note 5 and I was told my device is on its way to be shipped. What kind of shocked me was the data plan. I don't know if it's too valid but the rep told me that it will only have 2gb of data and if a person goes over then you will be charged for any excess data used. I don't really consider it a test drive as much. I would have thought with it being done on both sprint and T-Mobile that they would have opted to the unlimited data. Oh well I guess

I'm in a full Spark/CA/Glorious area and no matter what band I am connected too it just shows the very simple LTE/Signal combo highlighted a few posts up.

It's also possible that they (Samsung) screwed up the Spark Icon code in the update and it's defaulting back to the Android built-in icon for LTE.  I find it hard to believe that Sprint would depart from this after putting it everywhere (materials, boot animations, signage, etc.), but hey, I'd like that extra notification bar real estate back, so I hope it's changed!

It disappeared on the GS6, 6 Edge, and even some of the LG devices.

And they all look like the stock android LTE logo? I wonder if sprint can create their own logo. Either way it goes I'm glad the sinning dial is gone cause it looked very cheap.

Yep, and I think the LTE signal bar looks better.

I think anything looks better than that dial and that large LTE lettering.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
