    Any questions I can answer?

     

    - Trip

    Does it have a software mechanism for choosing which sim is the active one for being connected to LTE/hspa ? An example of what I mean, could you have an att sim and t mobile sim and check the signal of both without having to physically swap the SIMs around.

     

     

    I haven't ever messed with a dual sim phone. This was one of the things that really interested me about it.

  2. I bought this phone with Amazon adds.. Had them hidden within 30 minutes. Just takes disabling the Amazon apps and hiding the rest from the terminal/shell. The Amazon software being hidden persists through reboots and is just like the retail. Also have seen where the bootloader is unlockable.

  3. Shipping with UPS lately has been a dice roll. I shipped a letter-sized envelope across state last Christmas. Took a week for them to find it in Illinois. Tire marks indicate it had been run over several times before being delivered.

     

    I very recently had an Amazon order get lost at the very first UPS terminal. UPS wouldn't work with me since I was not the shipper. Thank God for awesome Amazon customer service becuase they immediately shipped a replacement (at my request - next day air at no additional cost) PLUS they gave me an extra month of Prime.

     

    Say what you will about the USPS but stuff does get there even if it's a bit slower.

    Usps mistakenly delivered one of my packages to the wrong house. When I called to have them investigate I talked to an inspector who said he'd find it. I called him multiple times and he wouldn't respond to my voice mails or answer the phone. I just gave up eventually.. but that's the only time Usps has done me wrong..

  4. I'll agree with two of the above posts that the Hydro vibe is a good phone. it can be had for 150 post or prepaid so that's a plus and it's a solidly built phone. mines 3 months old it hasn't had a case and still looks like brand new. however it definitely is weak in the RF department..

  5. I have the same problem after the update with the itson.service using over 50% of my battery according to GSam. With this problem I'm only getting about 7-9 hours of battery life where before I had 16-20 hours. Sorry just realized the forum, this is on an HTC One M8

    thanks for the confirmation. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only sprint customer with this issue. I was able to make it get under control by disabling WiFi calling in the app list. but then I can't use WiFi calling unless I re-enable it... it's a vicious cycle of compromise..

  6. Update on my experience with the update, 

    It seems to have made the phone more battery hungry, in the past i could make it all day with the phone in my pocket and have ~70% left at 5 when i got off work, but now its down to around 5% after 10 or so hours off the charger.

    The battery manager says the top battery hog is com.itson service, which looks like the wifi calling. Ive done 3 or 4 factory resets and tried changing to dalvik to see if it gets more stable... however no luck, im trying disabling the wifi calling app now to see if that fixes the issue.

     

    Other than that, the screen seems to be brighter to me and ive noticed the back of the phone getting hot while in my pocket or while using data,it didnt do that on 4.3... 

     

    Also ART appears to break wifi calling... 

    If anyone else uses the phone daily, have had any issues since the update?

  7. I have a friend that the sticky power button bootloop thing just happened to his s4... He was 2 days out of warranty. :(

    Hopefully this issue doesn't proliferate through all the Samsung products as they get older.

  8. Finally got the update. 4.4.2. Wifi calling came on no problem. And I switched the runtime from dalvik to art. I'm wondering how stable it will be. Seems snappier, but that's probably a placebo effect....

  9. Just went into settings and updated directly from the phone..wi-fi calling

    seems a bit wonky right now ...I'll know better tomorrow if its ready for

    prime time

    How's the update? Mine still hasn't come through yet... Is your phone any more stable?

    Awesome . thanks. I've been checking the update but it still hasn't come through for me yet. [emoji17] I really do hope the WiFi calling works well....
  11. Great news...hope this means a Kit Kat update as well...sweet little phone;

    I dropped mine from waist high standing at Starbucks one day (about 3 1/2 ft)

    to a hard tile floor..no problems to date...maybe I was just lucky..I dunno but

    I do wonder if the new iPhones & Galaxy Notes would survive that drop..

    sheet happens!

    Its definitely a tough phone. Mine hasn't been in a case but still looks brand new. Hopefully it will get KitKat... But with Kyocera you never know what you'll get...
