Looks like the site across the street from the LV Mall has finally gone live with LTE.

The one at MacArthur Rd and Grape St? If so, that was severely needed. The last time I went through there, that was a big hole in 4G coverage.

Bloat's cache data shouldn't be in the partition. Am I wrong? I think I got space back when I took out their updates as well.

Regardless, on the stuff that I managed to remove or disable, I got that processor load back by keeping them from running.

 

I did a lot of cleaning to be able to add Open Office last time around. I may not add it again this time, but we'll see what I manage.

Yeah, deleting the updates clears usable space but deleting the original app doesn't gain any space.

The calendar app received an update yesterday that fits what you described above. That's not necessarily a lollipop update.

 

When you disable bloat, you don't gain any storage space back. Unfortunately, it's in the system partition.

 

Keep up the list though. It's always interesting to see what changes.

I received the update about a week ago now. The one thing I really like is trusted devices. When working, I'm in my car for a lot of my work day. For me, trusted devices is awesome. I set it up so my phone doesn't lock when I'm connected to my car's bluetooth.

 

My personal phone is a note 4, and I have trusted devices set up with my moto 360. It works great. The phone stays unlocked as long as I'm connected. If I walk away from my phone, the phone instantly locks as soon as the watch disconnects from bluetooth.

 

In my opinion, it's the best feature of 5.0+.

I found 2 in my area. (Shentel market)

What does the 2 on top of B25 stand for?

You are on the 2nd PCS carrier.

I finally got the update on my work phone last night. One thing I noticed that's different is when on the home screen, if you press the menu button, it now brings up options for widgets and other things to change the home screen, etc. Previously, it would just pull up about 5 different options, including a shortcut to settings. I have gotten used to using the pull down menu on my Note 4 to get to settings so it's not a big deal, just something I noticed.

If I'm not mistaken someone did make a case that fit the wireless charging, it might have been the s5 but not 100% sure. I know a otterbox defender won't work.

If you ever find it again, and if it's for the Note 4, let me know. I love the wireless charging, but I also like to have a slim case too. It's just a little difficult to have the best of both when I haven't found a case that is truly designed for it.

 

Sent from my Note 4.

I know it wouldn't be a huge market, but if just one company would make cases that are designed to accommodate a wireless backplate, I would be happy.

 

I'm using a self-modified Spigen case but it would be nice to have a case designed for the increased thickness.

Do wifi calls typically sound better or worse than standard cell calls (non-hd)?

About the same, maybe a little better than a non-hd call. I just wish you could connect as an HD call through wifi-calling. That would make it truly a great feature.

 

As a side note, my parents just took a vacation to VT, and picked a cabin in the middle of a huge hole of no service. I was able to talk my mom through setting up wifi calling on her phone (S4T) by calling the landline in her cabin. She was pretty excited to be able to have service where she otherwise wouldn't.

Google services everywhere oh and... SIGBALCHECK PRO, LTE DISCOVERY, AND the Samsung engineering screen(only applicable to sprint) !

I think you had a typo in there. It should be "enginerring" screen. [emoji3]

 

Sent from my Note 4.

According to Sprint support, this update (OE1) is for bug fixes and factory reset protection. From what I've read, this helps prevent someone from stealing your phone and factory resetting it so they can then use it.

I just got it

I'm downloading it right now. Did you notice anything different?

I haven't noticed anything either.

 

Sent from my Note 4.

This must be a very slow roll out. I haven't heard of anyone getting this OTA yet.

 

Sent from my Note 4.

That's definitely different than the two I found in my area. Very interesting find.

Those small B25 only "antennas" are actually ALU MCO (metro cell outdoor) small cells.

I went back later and got some pictures and posted them in the thread on the ALU Pico cells. I think I put a link from this thread to the other thread too.

How in the hell did you use 141 gigs in a month?!...... ????

Download your entire music and movie collection from Google Play? Five times... ????

 

It sure is a lot. My wife and I are usually around 5GB each, but some months can be as high as 10GB each. Just depends how much we're out of the house. At home, we mostly use our wifi connection, even though it's dsl and slower than most everyone else has.

 

Sent from my Note 4.

Agreed.

 

Wouldn't mind the LTE 25 taken off.

Maybe an option would be good. That way those who like it can keep it, and those who don't can take it off.

 

I like it, but can see why some wouldn't.

Maybe your GPS is dead. Someone here may know if there's a way to confirm it though.

Ordered one for mom.

Has anyone used this particular router with dsl?

Her current modem+router combo is absolutely atrocious.

I have 10mbps down / 1mbps up dsl. I had a 30 minute conversation over wifi a few nights ago. I had two small hiccups during the call where it cut out for about a second each time but other than that, it seems OK. I also noticed a slight bit more delay than over the macro network but nothing terrible.

 

Sent from my Note 4.

Unfortunately, no B41 here to test, but my wife has said she hasn't dropped any calls since the update.

 

Sent from my Note 4.

It does not. The call quality is usually better than normal but not quite as good as HD.

 

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

That's what I thought. It had never connected as HD so I was just wondering.

 

Sent from my Note 4.

Does anyone know if HD voice works over wifi calling?

What's the new software version numbers?

Ends in OE2

 

Sent from my Note 4.

My wife just installed it, but won't get to test the dropped call issue until later this evening. She was experiencing dropped calls quite often on tower handoff.
