I saw that this morning. I also saw he was a premier sponsor which surprised me. I figured all premier members would know that by now. Sent from my Note 4.

I have not had the reboot issue. I can't really think of any strange issues, except for needing to reboot it about once a day. After about 24 hours of running, it seems to get a little sluggish. I wouldn't consider it a huge issue though. Sent from my Note 4.

I have no idea what a SWAC account is but you should be able to exchange it where you bought it. Sent from my Note 4.

The pricing definitely could have been better. The only real advantage is being able to leverage two networks, which hopefully improves speed and coverage for the user. I'll be interested in hearing real-world results once people start using it. Sent from my Note 4.

I guessing they pulled it. It was showing the ???? update when he originally posted it. Sent from my Note 4.

You could get a cheap wifi hotspot to use when you're on calls. You could also integrate Google voice with your sprint number and make and receive calls from Hangouts. The latter is a free option and it works fairly well. It would be worth a try if it's absolutely needed. Sent from my Note 4.

It probably depends if Sprint is ready for it by then. Sprint has not been very vocal about their plans. If and when it does become available, I hope it's something in the settings that can be toggled on or off. 1x800 is just so good that I'm sure in some places it would be better (in terms of coverage area) than VoLTE.

Has anyone tried the wireless charging back with the new Samsung wireless charger? I have that setup, just seeing if any others are having the same experience that I am. The charger has a dim blue led light when it's charging. The led turns green with my wife's S6 once it's fully charged. On my Note 4, it just stays blue even after it's fully charged. Sent from my Note 4.

My wife has dropped a few calls in the past few days, which she never did before on her S4 and S4T. I'm guessing the next update will fix that issue. It's just a little inconvenient until they do. I'm sure they'll figure it out. Sent from my Note 4.

Are you sure they are working on ntelos equipment? Sent from my Note 4.

My wife has not had any dropped calls yet, although she's only had the phone 2 days now. She also works very close to our house though and is almost always on the same tower both at work and at home. It seems like I saw in the Sprint forums that most people are complaining about dropped calls while they're driving, not necessarily while they're connected to one tower. As a side note, I thought it was funny that sprint care is telling people to put the phone into CDMA only mode. That seems to me that it would do nothing while on a call since it's connected to CDMA at that point. Sent from my Note 4.

Just a reminder to everyone to give your phone about a week or so before you judge battery life. Most of us use a new phone much harder in the first week because of downloading and setting up apps and playing with new features. After about a week, you are probably more likely to be at your "normal" usage pattern. I was actually pretty impressed when I asked my wife if she had charged her S6 at all yesterday, her first full day with the phone. She had not charged it all day and she was at 1% at 11pm right before she plugged it in to go to bed. She usually would go through 1 and a half batteries on her S4 by bedtime. So even with my caution about not judging battery life too quickly, I am initially pretty impressed. Sent from my Note 4.

That's interesting that some are having the issue and others aren't. Makes me wonder if it's a hardware issue rather than software. I decided to install the update on my wife's phone (S6) and it seems to be working just fine. Sent from my Note 4.

The horse has been beaten long ago but it won't be until VoLTE comes along. You can also use the various other services to make calls over data, such as Facebook messenger and hangouts. That's the only way around it right now. Trust me, the vastly improved data experience over single band phones will be worth it. Sent from my Note 4.

I'm wondering the same. I just got my wife an S6 yesterday. I told her to hold off on the update. Anyone know whether or not we should update or hold off? Sent from my Note 4.

It's a loyalty credit so I don't know who actually qualifies for it. It showed up when I went into my Sprint account. Sent from my Note 4.

From what I found, it can be done through Sprint or Best Buy to still get the credit but I will double check that. I see what you mean about selling it at the end. I had considered that but I was mainly looking at cash outlay (especially upfront) instead of factoring in a possible sale with a purchase. One interesting thing I found about the lease is that as long as I would continue leasing on that line, I will "forever" get a $15 per month credit, even if I lease a new phone. So, at the 24 month mark, I turn in the S6, lease a new phone, and still get the $15 credit. I'm not fully sold on the lease yet but it's something I'm seriously considering. Sent from my Note 4.

I'm considering the lease option for my wife's line. She is almost due for a 2 year upgrade anyway but the 24 month lease will be cheaper than buying the phone ($120 - lease vs $200 - on contract) over the 24 month period. According to Sprint, I'm eligible for a $15 monthly credit for leasing the phone so it's effectively $5 per month. I know I can just walk into the Sprint store on Friday to get one but it appears Best Buy's promo with the free wireless charger is in effect through Saturday. Does anyone know if the free wireless charger will be given if I lease the phone instead of purchase it? Best Buy is a much farther drive for me but it would be worth it to get the free charger. Any help would be appreciated. Sent from my Note 4.

I'm in a dual-band market (no B41 yet) and it's really good here. I was just in the Philly market this past weekend and got to experience all three bands. It worked seamlessly, transitioning between all 3 bands without a hiccup. I was pretty impressed. There's still more work to do where I was, but I was impressed how far it's come along just since I was there last time (around Christmas). Sent from my Note 4.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sprint only updates only the 720T this time around. I guess time will tell to see if they keep updating the original 720. Sent from my Note 4.

It's funny how people say one provider is quicker at updating than another, when in reality, I think it's pretty random. It'll come when each provider thinks the software is stable and everything is working. I love reading the comments on the tech blogs when updates start rolling out and read all the complaints.

From Amazon's web site: "U.S. compatibility: All GSM networks including AT&T, T-Mobile, and more. Not compatible with CDMA networks such as Verizon and Sprint"

State College is in the same market you are, Western PA. York and Harrisburg are in the Shentel market. Scranton and Lancaster are in the Central PA market. Different markets get prioritized differently. As s4gru said, if you need 4G service, you should probably consider a different provider in the short term and then maybe consider coming back to Sprint when they finish the upgrades in your area.

At least it will get done someday. Sent from my Note 4.

I could use it if you want to PM it to me. Thanks a lot. Sent from my Note 4.
