I really hope marshmallow brings much better battery life. This battery life is making me miss my iPhone. I've tried everything I know to get my battery to last and I have to try to squeeze 11 hours out of it. I wake up at 6am so 11 hours doesn't suffice. I think this is ridiculous, androids always used to be battery Champs for me.

Consider downloading package disabler pro then you can disable some bloatware on the phone... Especially if you don't need to use some Samsung services.

My point is that its not central to his question and was unneeded.  I know plenty about power, distribution and heat. We can all imagine what happens when you push electricity into space, it's not as

I did that already :/ I don't know why my phone won't last. I don't even use it that often. The time I had it last about 12 hours was once and I only had a screen time of about an hour and a half

A lot of gas station pumps are incorporating TV's here. I haven't seen the NFC before, so that's pretty cool!

 

It's a great marketing tool to advertise their in store specials, and the longer you pump (and more money you spend) the more likely they are to give out freebies.

 

Just a couple weeks ago I was given the option to print a coupon for a free fountain drink after pumping like 15 gallons of gas.

Going to wait until I hear it's official

I too am going to wait but I downloaded and checked out the file, it's legit and will easily work with Odin. Doesn't void any warranties, etc. If we don't get the push by the weekend, I just may flash it.

seems to break no root hotspot similar to the MM update for the S6....

 

anyway we can get the EPST apk from the S7? i heard it still work on the S7

 

The first rule about illegal tethering on S4GRU website is we don't talk about illegal tethering.  Take that question over to XDA.  The top brass will come down on this quickly. :)

It looks official, I used Odin and the tar file, and it didn't trip Knox, but this process will erase everything. If you take the OTA update, you shouldn't lose your data. Boot up animations are better looking, It says LTE plus, more spectrum, better network. Still downloading updates for the apps.

Are we sure it's official? And the same as the ota will be?

Until they release it, no, we don't know.  Regardless of the "cred" anyone has over at XDA, if you're uncertain, don't do it.  The fortunate thing is that IF it is not the final build, when the final build does release, you can ODIN that final build over this build.  The downside is that you will have to rebuild the phone again as it will wipe all your data.  This might bother some folks. 

 

EDIT, I stand corrected roll out goes live tomorrow. as per the next post.

      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....
