Samsung Galaxy Note 5 User Thread

So I have noticed an issue with my Gmail notifications since I updated. My notifications are delayed. 

 

For example - In the morning when I check my phone it doesn't show I received any email. But about 20 seconds later when I'm using my phone it does show I got an email during the overnight. But didn't notify me.

I am kinda disappointed that the carriers decided to go with Android 7.0 build number instead of 7.1.1 after all this time.  It seems like 7.1 had some significant changes and was hoping for at least Android 7.1.1.  Carriers should never go with the base build of the first Android release since there are always improvements and bugs that they need to be incorporated.  Normally the carriers go with at least the X.1 build version.

Judging by the fact the S8 is being launched with only 7.0, I think Samsung doesn't even have a 7.1 build ready for their phones.

Ah ok...hmmm I wonder why Android 7.1.1 is being delayed.  It seems silly since at least Android 7.1 has been available since Oct 2016.

Perhaps knowing which devices have Android Nougat 7.1 May hold the answer.

Why does my Note 5 hold onto B25 a lot? Wow. Just noticed this over the past few days and I'm in a very strong B41 market.

 

Right now I'm next to a tower at a restaurant and been on B25 the whole time.

Quite the opposite for me, I'm always on B41 and or B26.

Anyone have a system update message pop up and then go to do it and it says the latest updates are already installed?

That's a negative for me..

Has Sprint released any Security updates for May 2017?  I know Tmobile recently had a new update for security updates for May 1, 2017.

Saw a prompt the other day but when I went to install there was nothing there.

Today I had my phone in my pocket and it over heated and locked up. It wouldn't respond to any button I pressed. The only option I had was to let the battery die.

 

Anyone had this happen?

A new software update is out geared toward stability however no mention of security.

Just curious, did calling plus (LTE calling) come with this update?

I just checked and I'd have to say either no or it's very well hidden.

Wouldn't LTE calling require a FCC repass?

It's in the beta stages currently, so I don't know if it would or not. That's a good question though. I'm sure someone on here knows the answer.

    • Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where their is n70). Thanks!
    • I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip
    • Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]
    • Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
