  1. Oh yes I should mention the app is not perfect with B41 detection on several devices.. I was only pointing out that the specific problem on Samsung phones is their enginerrs, not me ;)

     

    I have caught a few quick shots of B41 on my N5 in LTE-only mode this week, but it's still very rare and nothing near where I live yet, despite some Clear towers nearby. Makes it hard to troubleshoot. If I could even find a parking lot nearby where I could connect to it easily, I'd set up shop in my Jeep and figure it out!

    Hey Mike I was in no way putting down the app. I appreciate all the hard work you put into SCP. Without it we would not half of the information that we have in most of the markets that are being tracked. 

     

    Keep up the good work

    ...Band 41 makes a difference, eh?!

     

    We've traveled in the Disney and Cocoa Beach area again; WDW has holes but is improving. Cocoa Beach is wonderful; Facetiming on the waterfront (and not far from sharks, apparently!) back home worked splendidly.

     

    Not quite sure I understand your post. Are you asking if B41 works?

  3. I had my G2 since it launched back in Nov 2013...never a problem.. Until the day back in May when my 2 year-old daughter decided to grab daddy's phone from the porch outside and take it swimming with her. I was working on my old 1974 Ford F100 and I happened to think "I don't have my phone, where did I leave it"..then it was that 'oh sh*t' moment...and when I looked at her, she had my phone just dowsing it up and down in water.

     

    By the time I got to her, it was off already....and I tried taking it from the otterbox and putting in rice.....left it for 3-4 days.

     

    So I left immediately and went to get a GS5...

    I nearly cried because I LOVED my G2..

     

    I figured it was ruined, so I let my daughter keep playing with it. Tried a couple times, like a month later, to plug it in and charge it...no luck. Wouldn't even flash any lights.

    So, you'd think after 2 months of sitting and you plug it in, and nothing happens that the phone is a lost cause, right?

     

    Apparently not. I picked it up yesterday, just happened to "find" it because I really didn't keep up with what my daughter has been using it for (she's used it as a hammer, carried it around, played with it while eating sticky sh*t...literally just abused it like a 2 year-old would abuse anything electronic).....

    And I found it, so I decided to hit the power button. It hasn't been plugged up to anything since June...and when I hit power, it came on.

    Granted it only had 3% battery...it still came on..

     

    So I plugged it in and let it charge. Located the SIM tray and card that it had in it...reinserted it while it was charging...

    It hit 100% charge and I turned it on. The phone still has my number in the programming, so it caused my G3 to freak out for a minute...but I put it in airplane mode, and it's been on since yesterday around 11am. Right now, it still shows 72% battery..

    Check out how long it says is left on the battery:

    Now what do I do with this thing??? I hate to keep it as a spare, it still seems to be a good phone, and everything works (camera, mic, speaker, etc). I just got an extra phone now, thanks to just by chance turning it on to see what it would do yesterday.

    What is the condition of it physically since your daughter had it?
  4. Forgive me for my ignorance..I put that into the dialer?? Then what? How do I get out once I'm in?? Thanks

     

    Once you hit the last # it will automatically take you to the next menu. Click Device test. Individual Item. Touch Draw Test - Manual. It will ask you to hold the power down and you give you options. after that is complete scroll to the bottom and hit back to main then it should say exit.

  5. She just finished loading her pictures to snapfish..that's all she had really..

     

    I know I'm late but you could always use the Photos icon on Android and you can have it setup to automatically back up pictures. So when you log back in with your Google account those pictures are still there and can also be accessed from a computer.

  6. So, as to not quote myself.. Lol

     

    I ran the ZV7 tot and can confirm there was no baseband change from ZV7 to ZV8, it changed from ZV8 to ZVA as well as from ZVA to ZVC but did not from ZVC to ZVD.

    So then is there really an issue when people are saying that they are getting stuck on 3G and it not switching back over to LTE?

  7. It was not forced, but that is because im running baseband .15 on my N5. So normal phones would not connect unless forced. 

     

    You got me with your phone in your profile. Glad you said you had the N5 cause this is starting to make some sense to me now. I've been getting kicked to 3G on 270 near 70 area and I assumed it to be a tower near there but didn't feel like driving the entire area to find it. Pretty sure this is what has been kicking me.

  8. SO if i have been able to knock on since i got the phone...about a mth ago...does this mean i already have the update???

     

    ZVD was just released the other day. No other version had knock on prior to this. Are you referring to knock on my just double tapping the phone? If so that is not the knock on that came with ZVD.
