    I think they're getting rid of the old ones via the store retail market because those buyers don't pay as close attention. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    I never installed kies. I wonder if that was part of your problem. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Is there a means to undo and re-do the install? If the app or something else interferes with the install, how do you redo that? As a protected system app, it doesn't seem like a simple process like you would follow with a normal app. Does one of those resets undo the install or is it protected in its flawed form?

    While they're waiting, they ought to generate a list of apps common to all those phones and compare it to lists of apps on good phones. I suspect that will yield the answer. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Power it off, pull the battery, hold the power button for a few seconds. The idea is to drain all power out of the phone circuits. Reinstall the battery and start it from 'cold'. It ensures the radios fully reset. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Just for laughs, shut down roaming and move to a different tower. Then try a cold reboot of the phone. A tower that has been reset may be sending a bogus ECSFB signal while it reinitializes. If a tower like this can be seen by a phone it can cause these sort of symptoms until the tower comes back online. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    I was leaning towards some sort of app incompatibility too. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Strange. I didn't need to do that. My setup went flawlessly and I didn't need to do anything other than follow the on-screen instructions. Must be something was already set correctly on my account.

    Take it to a Sprint store. I suspect something got boogered up in the install process.

    Yes. Verified. I connected to a call and could surf normally. I did notice a bit of audio degradation but it was still comparable to a normal rural call quality. This should open the door to VoLTE. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Signal check also indicates that it sheds you off the system completely. No cell connect. LTE disconnected, ehrpd via Wi-Fi takes over. Seems to me that it is effectively making any wireless network capable of being an Airrave? I'll have to play with it some more, but I suspect that since it is using ehrpd, it is also capable of voice/data simultaneously. I'll see for sure when I get home again.

    New Wi-Fi calling icon Seems to indicate you have set up the current network for the service. Blue and white icon in the systray. In a call it says "Wi-Fi call". A similar all blue icon displays above that text. See image. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Update received overnight and installed this morning. Find the app in the app list, run it. Intro screen, terms of service screen, e-signature. Then you have to turn the toggle on, select and add each Wi-Fi network individually, and assign a 911 address to each of them. (You can do this by a "current location" button.) It also adds itself to the connections menu so you don't need to use the app icon. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    They have kicked some serious butt in Omaha. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    As long as you're steadily streaming data, it doesn't look. If there is a periodic pause in the data stream, it will check. Pandora often has gaps and doesn't steady stream and that gives the phone a chance to look. Other apps may not stop very often. If your 3g connection is weak or slow, there may not be any gaps for it to pause long enough to look. As 4G fills in, this will become less of an issue as you will have a more constant 4g high data rate.

    I'd bet 4g you're connecting to a more distant tower and lower strength signal. Also, since band 26 isn't up yet for the most part you're not getting structure penetration quality. Via 3g you're probably on better signal from a closer tower on a lower frequency with better structure penetration. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Without removing the battery - but still under the cover, it is molded into the center plastic of the lower antenna (right of the speaker, below the battery). It says: "L720T" below that it says ">PC+ABS< #1-2" If you remove the battery it reads: Model: SPH-L720T FCC ID: A3LSPHL720T

    In this post you mentioned "In the debug it shows under eHRPD engineering that I need to fix APN list. " Did this ever go away for you? A couple of us are seeing it now on our gs4t's and a discussion just started on it in the sph-l720t phone thread. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Mine does. No idea why though. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    Update pushed to my phone early this morning. Roughly a twenty minute process in two major steps. It reset my lock screen wallpaper and added a 100% charge notification. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    In the Omaha market we only have B25 fired up so far. The Tri-Band phone acts effectively like its single band counterpart - which is far from useless. As the other bands come online or I visit other Spark markets, I'll have access to those bands as well. Why would you think such a thing? Isn't it common sense?

    As I understand it, once you fall off lte 4g, ecsfb is no longer relevant as you've already "fallen back" onto the same frequencies as voice. ecsfb on some newly activated or reset towers can cause confusion and 'crashes' as discussed above in this thread. The problem, whatever it is, only seems to delay or block returns to lte. 3g didn't seem to be affected. I recall no reports of what you're describing. Drops from lte to 3g always seem to be fast and near transparent. You may be describing a new problem with unknown causes. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

    I didn't know that. Is signal cutoff really determined in the OS or is that determined in the PRL or elsewhere? Are there hidden settings that can override that sort of thing?
