Many would call it a Sprint problem for not cracking the whip. Fire them, I am sure Samsung would gladly send in their crews to clean up the mess Ericsson has made.

Just the way Ericsson does things. Do the 4g one day, come back later and do the 3g another, then roll back and do the 800 stuff later. Better than nothing as we haven't really seen them installing new cabinets or other upgrades of legacy. They have quite a few 4g only sites to go.

There is truth to some of this. A couple sites with Tmobile and Sprint I saw Tmobile whip in, thrown the cabinets, NSN RRUs, new antennas while Sprint is still legacy there and not even NV 3g at least.

Others have been saying that Philz 6.07.9 works well and has no problems with restoring 4.3 backups. I would just flash any recovery updates in recovery as it is just a simple flash to the recovery partition. As always, test your zips. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49961796&postcount=800

If you are afraid it will brick then do not accept the update as the manual method is the same exact method that your phone does when it gets the update. And since everything is signed, if one bit of the ZIP file is changed the whole process bails and says nope, bad download, not doing it, reboots back to the OS.

I still don't understand why you guys don't just manually apply it. Literally minutes to do. No rooting.. No modding. Never waited for an update on any of my Android devices since day one.

Yes, almost any Android phone will update as long as an active Google account is on the device and it has access to check the Internet.

Maybe Kevin is getting his info from Ericsson market customers?

Nah... My neck is wore out from shaking my head at other things.

You'll need to put them in the ZIP system/app folder before flashing, or use a root file manager to put them in this folder. Install Google Search from the Play Store.

I haven't noticed anything. I just throw it down and pick it up in the morning. The case is a bit warmer but that's to be a expected, nothing crazy. I haven't installed any app to look at the temp.

And I was going to put "those things you use at the gym...oh wait..nevermind.." Speaking of that.. every time I come back from the gym passing the Popeye's and Raising Canes with the windows and sun roof open creates a huge temptation that is hard to resist!

No bluetooth on my Pioneer deck but the 16gb micro SD card works well for that and no phone to mess with. Headphones are those things you use at the gym and used for while at work so I don't have to listen to people talking to themselves, trying to be stealth in their burping and farting, etc. A few years ago I bought 20 of these cables after they kept walking off. I hated the short cables they included with device chargers so I have them everywhere. Great cables except for with that one case of course. Of courese now with my Tylt wireless charger I never plug the Nexus5 into anything except in that rare case I need to transfer a big file. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2

I returned that case since most of my headphones and line in wires wouldn't fit. A lot of my USB cables wouldn't either. Ended up with the Seidio Dilex case since I needed the clip anyways for bike rides and other outdoor activities where leaving the phone in the pocket isn't an option.

First post has any APKs that were removed.

BSR = Better Service Reselection. I'm not sure if it applies in the LTE world, but in CDMA only its the timer that kicks in when your device is not on the highest priority in your geographic area. In other words, its how aggressive the device is to search for Sprint signal when roaming.

I wish this were true in all markets. It's just the known fact that 5mhz isn't cutting it in many places regardless of being a 100% LTE area. Band 26 will help a bit but that band 41 build out is needed quickly in many areas but that is a ways away for many.

I'm still around, just installed a new and improved filter between the keyboard and chair.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

I open tickets all the time on LTE sites in launched markets, have them pin point the site, email Dan@Sprint.com, etc. I checked about 6 or 7 of them today that have been out for a few weeks. The majority of them are still broken.

The one that sounds like someone is smacking loudly to a beat?

Took my SIM card out today next to a WiMax protection site. I wasn't expecting much but wanted to see. It did confirm that Verizon has their AWS LTE widespread here though.

Uh oh...
