So what does B26 optimization supposed to do?

Did you receive an email when you activated the phone? It should have the msl code in there already

It only shows during an active download session. Try starting a speedtest, then immediately switch over to the LTE engineering screen and you should see the SCC signal data. Also try to get as close to the tower as possible for faster speed, if you are getting 40+ mbps at -101db, its possible you may get over 100mbps when your signal strength is better than -80db (ideally low -70)

Anybody notice increased battery drain (especially when idle/sleeping) with the latest patch? OH1 Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Did you change the LTE scan timer? by default i think its every 5 minutes, you can reduce the scan time but it may consume more battery. Also if you have an active data session (donwloading/uploading) it will most of the time prevent the phone from catching 4G even if you are sitting right next to a 4G tower

sorry just saw this now and replying, but seem too late... I assume you have custom recovery? maybe you can downgrade to the previous version where you have root. if you wanted to keep root, never update until a root is develop for that version, updating to the unmodded samsung fimrware ALWAYS break root.... New update would not have affect CA as the phone was capable of CA since the begining i think. I definitely was able to get CA before the 5.1 update. Whether you get CA or not has more to do with if the TOWER in your area is CA enabled at this point, rather than the phone. if your phone said CA not config, that meant the phone is already CA enabled but no CA tower in the area. otherwise it would have said CA disabled.

http://imgur.com/a/T2YOc So i was in a sprint store for a tech support issue., and took the chance to compare some phones rsrp on b41. This is not scientific but I figure it should give an overall comparison of how the phones compare Note that while they are not truly side by side but all the phones are within 10 ft of each other in a corner of the Sprint store. The Samsung phones are along the outside windows, while the HTC LG and Sharp phones are along the wall extending into the store, HTC are the cloest to the windows with the Crystal furthest away from the window. Tower is about 3000ft away Order top to bottom Sharp crystal G3 G4 (2x note difference in rsrp) G4 alone M8 M9 S5 S6 S6 edge Note 5 Edge+ Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

What version are you on? The most recent one fixes the stage fright bug.... so depends on if you don't mind having that bug or not. Stage fight can turn your phone into a zombie phone under someone else control. Why do you need root? If it's just for tethering there is a method to tether without meeting root Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

the 5.1 update did not fix my wife's problem with Bluetooth not working (call not routing through BT) when making a call even when a BT headset is connected. (however manually pushing the BT button to switch audio output in the dialing app would work)

oops reply to wrong thread

I stopped by Best Buy last night to pick up something my Wife wanted and made a side trip to the samsung experience kiosk to try out the Note 5 and Edge+..... Hand feel wise I still prefer to Note 5 over the Edge+ which matches my expereince comparing the S6 vs the S6 Edge. The Edge just feel too sharp on the metal body edge on either side of the phone making it less comfortable to hold. Mobile radio was disabled and I didn't see a menu under setting to enable them so I couldn't even compare signal strength

Do you still have your G3 on an active line? we would be interest in the cell edge performance comparison, signal strength, band drop off, etc. the Note5 have bad RF per the wall article, I just want to see how bad it is in real life. My next upgrade is due in Nov and the Note5 is the top choice currently(unless the new nexus show some major surprises) Thanks

refer to AJ's post above yours, it would answer your question

Was just coming by to comment that displaymate tested the N5, seems there were some improvement in the display compared to the N4, i guess i will trust displaymate's test over phone arena's test Its no longer true that SAMOLED screen aren't accurate. Samsung has introduce display color profile selection that you can select to match the RGB gamut reference calibration if that's what you prefer. Its pretty accurate too, I still prefer the adapative display for day to day use though for the pop color

Seems they maybe using the exact same SAMOLED display from the N4 based on the review from phone arena. I'm a tiny bit disappointed as I liked the brighter screen on my S6 and was hoping the N5 would be just as bright (#firstworldproblems) http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note5-Review_id4059 bottom of page 1

Sammobile report sprint is rolling out the android 5.1.1 update. Anyone got the change log? I wonder if it fix the bluetooth problem my wife is experiencing

I will do that for 6G with my self-driving car

But I'm not always looking at the phone when I'm driving, better if my signal check pro log would log that info

Capacity wise (# of client served) how does 2 5x5 compare to 1 10x10? Of course speed wise 1 10x10 would basically double the speed of a 5x5 Is there any tell tale sign in the GCI that would denote a 10x10 carrier? something similar to different sector ending denoting the 2nd B25 carrier? My new S6 doesn't tell me the DL channel in SignalCheck Pro logs anymore

That means the tower can't "hear" the phone as well at cell edge correct? so that mean the phone would drop from B41 to B25 to B26 faster, but as long as the tower can still "hear" the phone the performance should be similar correct? Does that mean a N4 may still be hanging onto B41 with a -120db RSRP where the the S6/N5 will drop to B25 at about -115db. but if the S6 have slightly better reception in my case (about 5-10db better on B41) that may mean it basically cancel out each other. chicken or the egg of either the phone can't hear the tower first or the tower can't her the phone first? I should take some Side by Side cell edge vid to compare the N4 vs the S6... wonder if I know anyone with a IP6 to compare the 3 together.

Wait and see My S6 have better reception than my wife's Note4. The ERP/EIRP is an indicator but does not always match real world result

have you check the Sponsor map for colorado to see how far you are from the towers?http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5624-colorado-nv-maps-and-discussion/ CA in *#0011* will say "not configured" until you actually latch on to a CA enabled B41 tower and actively using CA when ##data# say CA is enabled, you should see SCC being listed in ##DEBUG# under LT engineering, when CA is disable there would be no lines for SCC at all. see pic 5 and 6 here http://imgur.com/a/JlC0O/all Next SCC information only pop up when the state is connected, when IDLE the SCC seem to be dropped. the RSRP type information on the SCC doesn't seem to show up until you are actively downloading something (large) Sprint CA is only on B41, there is currently no CA on B25 or B26. I don't know about Denver, but even in Chicago based on my own observation at least 75% of the B41 tower aren't CA enabled yet

Fastest so far is 133mbps, I've personally pulled 110mbps on my s6. 2x CA should max out about 160mbps though and 3x CA roughly 240mbps when rolled out i think

I seem to notice more B41 CA enabled tower this morning during my commute compared to the past few weeks. I will pay more attention during the evening commute when i'm not rushing to work
