Following up on my original post now that I've had a few full days with this phone. There's really nothing to hate. It's not obviously spectacular, but I think that's what I like. It's not as jumpy an

Just picked up a G5 for the other half. Gotta say, its radio performance here in NYC is actually better than my N6P. Super impressed with that so far. It switches bands like a Boss!

SMS over WiFi already works?

Not on the LG G5 currently.

Notes mentioned VOWiFi improvements/security patches and one other thing I forget at the moment. Thinking it was a nondescript 'bug fixes' reference but not sure. I ran it this morning after I got into work.

With my Note 7, I tested it by turning on airplane mode, turning on Wi-Fi calling. Making a test call to and from. Sending a text to and from. No success with text over Wi-Fi (it will keep trying).

I'm assuming you meant to quote Dkoeller, not me - I didn't mention anything about SMS, just was pointing out the update note I saw regarding VoWifi.

Tested text messages over Wi-Fi. Not yet.

It's there on mine.  I'm just waiting to install it to make sure I actually want it.  SCP is non-negotiable to me.

I decided I couldn't wait anymore and went for it.  Upgrade finished successfully, and all seems well in SCP.  Looking at the SCP diagnostics, the API now provides EARFCN, but SCP does not appear to use it yet.

 

It does feel a lot laggier than it did before, but I assume it's still doing things in the background.  I'll see how it is in a few hours.

Finally downloaded. LG home refuses to update so I can't get to my home screen and my power button doesn't work! 

 

Not exactly what I was expecting....

I think that happened to me at first, and it took a few minutes for it to download and get set up.  Why it's not included in the 1.3GB image, I have no idea.

Yeah it finally downloaded and let me see my home screen. Something is still wrong with my power button. Won't turn the screen on or off. Had to pull the batter to shut it down, and took like 10 tries pressing the button different ways to get it to turn on.

One of my spotters has a G5 and got the nougat update today. You can set the phone for 3xCA with the MSL. Columbus is supposed to have 3xCA. It shows on the debug screen:

However, the ping almost doubles over default CA and the speed appears throttled. Speed is generally below CA at this point in time. Still, this is progress that should be good for most LG G5 users eventually.

I was a bit apprehensive of updating after I read this, but I finally had the time and ran it today - thus far on mine, if anything the system seems even slightly snappier overall than before the update.

 

The only negative to me is the new way notifications are rendered on the pulldown in 7/Nougat - I do like the 'grouped' notification aspect on something like Score or ESPN apps from a functional perspective, but the overall presentation look versus how they looked in Marshmallow I don't really care for.

      Anyone else here use Verizon FiOS?

      By Trip · Posted

      (Sorry I never answered your last e-mail.  It's going to be time-consuming, so I've been dragging my feet.) I'm on FiOS and my service has been okay.  A few weeks ago, I was having an odd issue where certain websites were very slow to load, and it persisted until I rebooted the router.  Not entirely sure what was going on there.  But otherwise, no issues.  What happens if you ping or traceroute during these outages? - Trip

      After seeing gr8nuguy's S23 post for one, checked and found a 72MB Google Play System security update on S24+ unlocked.    Still a June 1st date however.

      If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
