    But now will I see my normal notifications that I want to see like messages and emails? I would think turning that all the way off would shut them all off.

    Have you asked in the signal check thread? Mike is pretty good about responding to questions?

    Any information on if/when we will be able to have simultaneous voice & data capabilities again? I JUST upgraded to the Note 4 (long overdue from my S3) and imagine my frustration! Being a former employee and 15 year customer, I cannot believe this situation...help!

    On the note 4 never. I know it drives me nuts too! There are some work around like using Google voice. Search this thread it's been discussed here already.

    Note 4 Constaly Switches Bands 25, 26 and 41

    in General Topics

    Posted

    Doesn't sem to matter where I am here in NE MA....even sitting in my living room, the phone constanfly switched between bands 26, 26, 41, all of which show between -93and -115 signal strength. What I am curious about is why does it not consistently stay on the band with the nest signal? It literally changes bands every 5 seconds or so.

     

    This occurs sitting at home, driving to work or while at work.

     

    Thoughts / suggestions?

    Turn off b41 and see the difference.

    As much as I appreciate trying to get the battery time to last that's not really the world I live in. I use my phone all day long multiple apps etc. How long I can get it to last turning this and that off is not real world for me. I have "everything" on and get about 10 to 8 hours use before charging. Which with the fast charge is nice as I can charge for 15 to 29 mins and I'm food till I go to bed. Sounds like I'll be staying on the 4.4 rom until tex gets a 5.0 version out. Thanks for all the input though it's good to see people active in this thread!

    I know benchmarks say otherwise but the GUI is vastly faster on the Nexus 5, therefore one would say that the Nexus 5 is faster due to perceived responsiveness. That's what I am saying when in regards to the Nexus 5 and Note 4.

    As you said "perceived" , people hate TouchWiz so they think anything other is faster. Benchmarks are actual numbers not perception. But at the end of the day use what you like as long as it's not iOS ;)

    Sorry it's been awhile since I have actually touched a different launcher, being on my Nexus 5 or Note 4. If I switch to say Nova which I used to use on my S3 will the performance improve? :wacko: /stupidmoment

    Some say yes some say no. I think it's more mental than anything. I'm running a custom rom so I couldn't tell you from personal experience. I can say I had a n5 and hated it. I wasn't impressed at all.

    Can someone explain what these RDFs are? I have never been able to view them.

    The RDF file extension is also associated with the Research Document information Format and the Resource Description Framework file format (related to XML and metadata) you can Google it if you want more detail. But this is it in a nutshell.

    Cornering AJ into fact vs opinion does nothing to further our education and can be used to define a troll. It is fact that LTE is a more fragile airlink and therefore VoLTE is not as reliable as 1x800. For a company that has had reliability issues, Sprint is wisely holding off on its implementation.

    Single path radios, as explained by AJ, were necessary to stay in business and no one can fault a good business decision especially given 1x800's coverage ability.

    No one is cornering. He insist his opinion is fact based on his vast knowledge, Yet provides only opinion. Which by the way I respect, though I don't agree. I do see why trying to ward of sprint bashing etc is needed as I believe that leads no where good. I don't agree that saying it's a bad business desicon is sprint bashing as its just an opinion as long as it's kept to that and not drug out. If he would not state his opinion as fact then I think the response would be better received. Just my two cents.

    Wow. That's really unfortunate. So the Note 6, two years from now, should support joint voice and data? Sprint can't afford to have missteps like this.

     

    I know people will defend Sprint and that's fine, but these are the moves that keep them in the 4th spot.

     

    Softbank acquisition may not be as rosy as some assumed.

    I agree the note series needs to take a higher priority than they currently give it. I'd imagine VOLTE will be on the 5 as well as CA and roaming bands. For the 4 it wasn't a big deal as non of those features are live yet in most markets. If it lacks those features on the 5 it would be very disappointing but not really surprising.
