  1. Yeah there is something weird with that setting. For what it's worth, when I upgraded after you made some kind of change to that preference (I think adding it as an option to the action bar?), it reset that setting to the default. There may be something in whatever code was changed there that could be triggering it. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  2. It's the stock Contacts app on Nexus/Pixel phones. Likely many others as well. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  3. I think calling+ and wifi calling on newer devices are already using that IMS. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  4. I mean in theory they should be able to transition even an active call from VoLTE to calling+, I think. My understanding of calling+ is basically wifi calling, just over LTE. So if VoLTE can handoff to wifi calling, I don't see why the same transition couldn't be used. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  5. CINR below 0 is effectively below the noise floor. This means the noise is greater than the actual signal. The only thing I'm aware of that functions below the noise floor is GPS (by design). LTE will not be very good with a negative CINR, and in fact I'm surprised it works at all. It's akin to trying to understand someone speaking in a crowded bar, when the noise from everyone else is louder than the person you're trying to hear. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  6. Hmm wonder how that will affect VoLTE. With just calling+ it won't matter, but if Shentel isn't ready for VoLTE when Sprint deploys it, would that mean it'll revert to CDMA for calls if you enter Shentel from Sprint? Or will it fallback to calling+? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  7. They just left it for me. Depends on your local carrier though. You can create a UPS My Choice account for free and request they leave packages, and even tell them where to put them at. Unless the shipper pays extra for signature confirmation. You also get notifications for incoming packages and status updates. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  8. Yes, you have the option to buy it after 18 months (in a lump sum or continued monthly payments). It also looks like you get upgrade eligibility after 12 months. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  9. Check your account online anyway. I have lines where it's shown as $40/month, but with a $20 credit bringing it to $20/month total. I received an email from Sprint about it, but I think if you just start the process of leasing it then it'll show the credit. From what I'm told, it depends entirely on how likely Sprint thinks you are to churn. It's like a retention credit. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  10. When I first got my MB it would switch to B26 after a phone call from the macro and then eventually go back to the MB. Now it's instantly back on the MB. You just need to wait for it to finish optimizing and integrating. It could take a few days. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  11. The LTE connected portion is indeed the longest. It's been the case since the original model. Perfectly normal. I suspect, as someone else mentioned, that your phone isn't really scanning for neighbors on its own (depends on make and model likely). It's using the LTE neighbors list being pushed by the macros, which currently don't show your MB. After a few days these will auto update to tell devices to also look for your MB, once the MB is fully integrated into the network. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  12. That upload shouldn't be possible on B41. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  13. It will charge at 5V 3A over USB-C. It's USB-PD, not QC necessarily, but is almost as fast. Check to see if your USB C charger lists 5V 3A as an output (15W). V * A will give you a number you can use to compare the QC output of your charger to get an idea of relative speed. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  14. This is a "known" issue. It happened to everyone who got a MB when they got the shipping notification (ie when it was added to your account). I haven't been able to login since last week. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  15. No it can use micro USB or USB-C. The pack automatically determines which direction to use the USB-C port. I only charge mine with USB-C. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  16. I have this one. It's about $10 more currently than when I bought it. It holds an insane capacity and works great. Only downside is it's definitely too big for pocket. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019IFIJW8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_upUNzb0Z95X1W Edit: oops I realize someone already posted that one earlier.

  17. Can you post a link to the current version? Or maybe add it to the first post? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  18. It really depends on where you're located. If you have barely any B25 signal (or B26 only) it won't really help you. In these cases an airave is more appropriate. The MB is designed more for places that are on the edge of B41 coverage; places where you can get B41 by a window, but no where else inside. For those locations, a magic box works beautifully. Many buildings and houses in cities fit this description. My place is a good example. I get B41 on the second floor by the window facing the site. First floor is B25 or B26. With the MB I have 30+ Mbps B41 throughout now instead of sub megabit speeds on congested B26. The fact that the MB supports B25 does not mean it should be used with a barely usable B25 signal. My take on it supporting B25 is that it may choose a strong B25 10x10 or 2xCA B25 signal over a very weak B41 signal if it performs better, but it really shouldn't be used normally. It's designed for B41 relaying. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  19. It does with mini macros sometimes. Unsure about non-minimacros outside of Samsung markets. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  20. Here is a screenshot I took on May 24 on my Pixel showing 3xCA on Sprint. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  21. Yes, I've been having issues even logging into the website since the weekend started. I did manage to see a device was added to my account (magic box that's en route I presume). I think there's a bug preventing accounts with a magic box from logging in correctly. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  22. I called today about the airave 3. They said they're 4000 units backordered and the system won't let them put in more until mid September or so. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  23. Also just got my tracking number. And it's being sent to the wrong address... I applied with my address rather than my parents address (the address on the account). When they called they had my parents address, and I had the representative change it. Of course, they're shipping it to my parents anyway... So obnoxious. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  24. If you're near any (or happen to see one somewhere), grab the earfcn of the 2nd and 3rd carrier. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  25. I got that impression early on. It wasn't at full price for long before they started heavily discounting it. Then once the S8 launched it just kept getting cheaper. I've never had an LG phone, but my understanding is that a lot of their phones from the last couple years end up bootlooping. Even if they replace it for free, it'll cause people to pause before buying another LG, especially if they know it's a widespread issue that may or may not have been corrected with the G6.
