Has anybody noticed any new features or bugs with the new update?

 

My wife decided to give her phone a cleaning and dropped it in the sink a couple nights ago. We're getting a replacement today and I'm wondering how the new update is.

Hey guys, anyone had this happen? Getting no mobile data but SCP shows I'm connected. Tried restarting, toggling off data, airplane mode, etc... All to no luck.

 

Any thoughts guys?

Did you try updating PRL & Profile then rebooting?

I got the android 5.1 update a few days ago and i didnt realize it until tonight but almost every app on the playstore says not compatable. Apps like spotify, netflix, twitter, speedtest.net, and more all say not compatible. However since the apps were installed before i updated there still installed and all working perfectly fine. Is ur wife experiencing anything like this on her phone. Cant install any popular apps right now. Been like this for days too so i think its a phone thing not a google thing

If the profile update doesn't work, you can manually enable CA with ##DATA# and your MSL code, the MSL should be in the email that was sent to you when you first activated the phone

I'm in Denver where they've recently turned on CA--I signed up to try sprint last night and got an S6, but am getting pretty lousy perfomance.  My home and work are in two "best" areas for spark and I get a very weak b25/26 signal.  I did see b41 for a short period of time while commuting--also said CA not configured on the #*0011# screen.  I checked the #data# and it says CA is enabled.  I have the latest S6 update, have updated the profile and prl.  Anything else I should try?

Get a phone with better RF performance might be something to try.

Yeah I saw all of the various thready about the S6 right after launch on Sprint.  This was after I purchased it and was researching to figure out what the problem was.

have you check the Sponsor map for colorado to see how far you are from the towers?http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5624-colorado-nv-maps-and-discussion/

 

CA in *#0011* will say "not configured" until you actually latch on to a CA enabled B41 tower and actively using CA

 

when ##data# say CA is enabled, you should see SCC being listed in ##DEBUG# under LT engineering, when CA is disable there would be no lines for SCC at all.

 

see pic 5 and 6 here

Next SCC information only pop up when the state is connected, when IDLE the SCC seem to be dropped.  the RSRP  type information on the SCC doesn't seem to show up until you are actively downloading something (large)

 

 

 

Sprint CA is only on B41, there is currently no CA on B25 or B26.  I don't know about Denver, but even in Chicago based on my own observation at least 75% of the B41 tower aren't CA enabled yet

    • 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.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
