Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge User Thread

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.

Thank GOD!!! I don't have my s6 anymore could you show me what the new 4g logo looks like now?

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.

I guess we will all know once we see the status bars of the other three carriers Galaxy Note 5's.

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.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
