Is the system update icon finally gone?

Still there!

I definitely feel like the camera opens faster.

Ok got the update! How does neighboring cells work? I only get a 2 or 3 digit number. And does it only do same band neighbors? Like can I see b25 neighbors if I'm currently on b41?

Hey Mike, another quick thing I noticed. When trying to write site notes I noticed I can't use "swype" or suggestions when I use SwiftKey. Any reason behind this. Just would be easier to write notes on the go.

 

Hey Spence how about a true black background for us oled screen users. Might help us save some batt juice when we have lte discovery running for prolonged periods of time.

I just finished bugging mikejeep about this with good results

Maybe we should move this to the sponsor section. Or make sure we're only inviting sponsors.

That being said. If any sponsors want an invite Message me.

Who is Rob?

Rob base the one who knows, about things.

That's sweet.  On the other end of the spectrum, is the brown dot at Castro & Market.  Not even NV 1 3G upgrade at such a bustling spot.

Yeah that is a sore spot for sure. That one near safeway did help a lot though.

Subsidized you pay on the price of the discounted phone. Easy Pay is full up front. I believe this is universal. Though most places beat NYC's 8.875% sales tax so you might have been better off anyways.

Universal except California.

California charges tax on the full price of a purchase, even with discounts in place. That's why the total seems off.

Yeah realized this the hard way. Wonder what other states do this

Does anyone know if when you return rebuy something at best buy will the new salesperson get the commission.

no just the discounted price I got my lg g2 for one cent

That's what I thought. She tried returning/rebuy it at a best buy in nyc and they told her it's the same thing tax wise. I guess the best buy person didn't know what she was talking about. Anyone have any experience with adjusting tax at out of state best buys.

Quick question. I just bought my sister in nyc a s4t. We bought it in Cali at best buy. They charged us tax for the full retail price of the phone. So instead of it being $1. We paid $62. Does NY state charge tax on the full amount as well? I feel like when I bought my s5 in nyc I was only charged tax in the subsidized price.

I noticed my phone parked on B26 a lot of the time yesterday in SF. If it wasn't B26, I was on B41. Looks like they finally launched it!

 

I took this speedtest at the Iron Cactus restaurant on 4th and Townsend with full signal last night.

I got b26 in a parking garage on 4th and King today! Was great! And like you it was parked on b26 and then moved to b41. It was nice! Even got some b26/b41 in noe Valley! Must be bleed over from other neighborhoods but still nice.

I also recommend disabling band 26. This worked for my s5 that is not playing nicely with newly upgraded b26 site in my neighborhood. Once I disabled b26 I am getting b41 and b25 just fine. I'll try and reset everyday to see if b26 will be optimized.

I've had no program with the new app, you might have something else going on, oled screens hardly use any power under a black background. And I'm u using signal check on a tab 3

I wasn't saying I had any issues with the new app. I was just saying I noticed scp doesn't use a true black background. Old or new version. I agree with you oled screens hardy use any power under a black background. That's why I was asking if Mike could change it to a "real" black background. Not the current dark dark grey.

Mike I just noticed today as my battery was almost dead that scp doesn't have a true black background (#000000)

I know it might be negligible but since a lot of phones have oled screens now, it helps to have as much black on screen as possible when the screen is on.

 

Helps conserve battery since if the pixel is true black it's not on. And since we all use scp alot I figured why not save some batt juice whenever possible. just a thought.

So if I disable b26 on my phone I can now connect to b25 and b41.

Needs optimization

Yeah sure does. Seems like ecsfb was disabled. The 2 triband phones can't connect to b25/b26 on the home site. The one single band phone is having no issues.

My home site by ocean beach is broadcasting b26. Not very well. It's keeps dropping b25 and b26 lte. But it is coming!

These other alliances really get on my nerves. The thought that they are betting that they can beat Apple or Google at this game is sad.

Yeah just imagine if Google and apple decide to NOT carry this app in their stores. DOA.

They can't beat Apple and Google. People will hate it. The others will all fail.

There are some. There aren't just many of them as SF was one of the last markets to be cluster launched and started 8T8R additions much later than other mature markets.

Inside sf proper? I know there are some in the SF market like oakland. But I didn't realize there were some in the city. I have to re look at the premier maps again.

 

 

 

Others have reported the S5 doesn't show neighbor cells, just another strike against Samsung. Are you sure that's a Clear B41 site? It's being identified as B41 because of the GCI (third character is odd).. is there a chance it's a Sprint 8T8R B41 site? If it's Clear, you're just getting lucky because of the odd character.

I'm in sf and no 8t8r here yet. It seems like all the clear sites here have an odd 3rd character in the cgi. Maybe it's only an sf thing. I wonder if any other markets are like that.
