Galaxy S7

Just installed the new G935PVPU4APL6/G935PSPT4APL6/6935PVPU4APL6 update.

Looks like it added  3XCA for band 41 and possibly band 25 + band 25 aggregation.

Looks like the phone is now ready for this, aggregation.jpgbut I do not see it happening yet.

See the attached screenshot showing the ##DATA# screen.

Im trying my hardest not to upgrade early. I wish Sprint had a jump like program where you can upgrade more than once per year.  Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

We have a new S7 Edge. We haven't checked for any software updates but reading there is a software update to enable 3XCA?

 

What do you look for SCP to see if your connected to 3XCA? I'm in Samsung market.

Yes there is an update for 3xCA and android 7 is starting to go out on some carriers worldwide.

 

SCP does not show CA only guesses what carrier your on based on gci. *#0011# to see if your on CA.

I installed the update but only the first box is checked.

When I installed the update and it appeared to be completely finished, I did  a power down and fresh start.Then I started looking around in the menus for the Aggregation status and it was checked as being active. I did  not have to activate it.

Did you do a manual power off and a restart?   That seems to be the thing to do when you install an update on any electronic device. One warning, be absolutely sure the update is installed BEFORE you try any manual power down.  If it is not totally done, you may cause a problem.  There is some idle time in the middle of the update and it appears to be done when it really is not. Even when it tells you it is done, wait awhile.  Things can be happening that you are not aware of.

I had received several updates over the last month. Maybe you are still needing another once.

Try going into settings, then system update, click on "download updates manually".  This will force an update check.

It will also tell you the version you have.   last three characters should be PL6.  Since this is a S-7 thread, I ASSUME you have a galaxy S-7 ?????  Your profile says a Note 5

You have the "Edge" version and I do not, but you should be ok with the update on the Edge.  I am not sure what would happen with the Note 5. (probably will never do 3xCA due to it's age and the hardware.)

Maybe some how your s-7 edge phone is not ready for 3CA because of the area you are in. I am in Shentel area.  PA, MD, WV.

I appear to be ready on my S7, but I have not actually seen 3xCA  be working.

How do you get to that screen where it shows the check boxes? I got into the ##DATA# screen, then click view, but then what do you click on to show it? Or do you need the MSL to go into the "edit" side?

after view, click on LTE. then click on CA enabled  No MSL needed and do not go to edit. I did NOT have to manually enable anything.

I am sitting in Culver's in Hudson, WI on 3xCA. So it is not a market thing. Hudson is just across the state line for mnjeepmale. It could be a slow rollout but I doubt that. I would use the dailer code ##update# to make sure everything gets updated.

Must be a market thing. Just did ##update# and everything is updated. Nothing changed for CA.

If the screen says CA not configured does that mean the phone does not have it enabled at all or does it just mean it simply isn't being employed at the time? The band shown is 41, of course.

I get that line when I first connect to B41. When I go to use data it will try and connect to CA. Not sure what that line is suppose to mean.

Just started getting the pink line k the exact same place. http://phandroid.com/2017/01/23/galaxy-s7-edge-pink-line-on-display/

 

This is the 2nd time. I got pink spots before and the display stopped working. Samsung fixed it after it being sent out. This looks different.

I had that pink line. It is a loose ribbon cable that is why when you press by the camera it goes away.

Good to know. Yeah seems unrelated to my last pink spots issue. As long as it doesn't mean imminent death like the last time I'll be OK.

      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....
