Update went ok.  WiFi calling failed after update, but healed itself about an hour later. Don't much like the revised Settings menus, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I have a different version. I don't remember what the beta version was but u don't get the beta message during restarts. Am I still behind?

I have already looked into this and tried it all but you cannot so I use Google Messenger which works good for me because I have people color coded I use it as my default messenger app works great.

Is everyone else's phone way laggy? Mine will hang for several seconds at time, many times a day. Wondering if I should wipe, or is this just a product of the new software.

I don't notice any lag since the update. I wiped the cache though right after I updated. That may help.

If you weren't already on the beta I would suggest a full wipe. I had lots of issues running release 2 of the beta and after a wipe everything was back to running great again.

I second the motion.

 

Full wipe helped me dramatically.

Another question as well, are you running any themes?  If you are still having issues and haven't wiped yet try going back to the default theme and see if you are still having issues.  There are a lot of themes out there that doesn't run quite right on android 7.0.

Is Google Messenger the Android Messages app from the Play Store?

Yes, they just changed the name of it last week. It is now known as Android Messages.

  • 2 weeks later...

Here in SoCal, my LTE reception performance got worse after the official 7.0 update. At the same locations & at the same time, my wife's & mom's iPhone SE and Note 3 get LTE whereas I only get 3G at some spots.

 

Anyone else with worse LTE reception?

Sprint overall has slow down every where I have been lately. Also with their change to roaming (100mb) I will more then likely be moving to Verizon after 17 years of faithfully service with them.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
