I thought it was a fluke setting, and wouldn't work until I left my house. Band 26 all day long. And, it makes every sent/received call use 1x800. It completely abandons PCS. I actually drop to 3g less this way than with 25 enabled. Strange. This is like an s4gru 800/26 testing/spotting gift from the HTC folks. Let's be responsible with it. Somewhere, AJ and Tim just suddenly shuddered.

Yeah. I've been running on 26/41 only, too. It's great for testing, and grabbing screenshots for the map.
-
I've been debating which size to buy for at least 6 months. If the 4.7 is around the same size as my nexus 5, I'll probably go that route. The n5 is nearly a perfect sized phone. Phablets are uncomfortable to pocket.
-
Wait, we can enable/disable bands and change priorities now? Is that new with 4.4.3?

I really don't know where to put this, but I've been hearing about this Sprint deal on the radio all day. It appears it's a special pricing deal for Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul customers. $50 for unlimited everything. No framily stuff, just $50. Check it out Www.sprint.com/unlimited50

But I wasn't on a call.

I think I found a bad bug. Can someone try and record a video while on Wi-Fi calling? It won't let me.
-
Is there a timeout on Wi-Fi calling? These last few nights, I turn it on before going to bed and wake-up connected to cellular.
-
That's the one thing I've found during my android adventures. No voice recognition on an android comes close to how well Siri works. And I miss her.
-
But what about areas with zero Sprint service? Isn't that primarily what Wi-Fi calling was designed for? It should work with cellular radios turned off as long as you've confirmed a 911 address
-
I'm actually unable to do that. It won't turn on Wi-Fi calling in airplane mode with Wi-Fi on. Hmm.
-
I got my Wi-Fi calling/texting problem worked out. Several profile/prl/reboots/power cycles later. Has anyone noticed when sending a Wi-Fi text that the Wi-Fi calling icon briefly flashes? I wonder if sms actually goes out through Wi-Fi, or if it quickly connects to cellular to send?
-
So my Wi-Fi calling just doesn't work anymore. I get failed texts, and when I make a call, it says, "you are roaming. To make a call with your mobile carrier, press 1, or purchase a calling pin pack." Wtf? Edit: it wants me to buy an "American roaming" pin. Who or what is that company? How could I possibly be roaming on Wi-Fi, and connected to a Sprint tower?

KC is probably one of the most mature band 26 markets. I'm sure most, if not all sites have been optimized for coverage and load balancing.
-
If you read the faq on Sprint's website, you'll see that when dialing 911, it will always try a cellular signal first. If no cellular signal is available, it will then pull the address from the Wi-Fi calling setup for 911 location purposes.

I really wish this update allowed us to add a quick setting tile in the pull down menu. That would be great for quick toggling.

I could tweet that picture to @SprintCare and they would still tell me to run a prl/profile update.- 72 replies

Not sure if I fully trust Wi-Fi calling for casual use. I had my fiance call me while I was on Wi-Fi calling, and she was on cellular. My phone rang, and I answered, but it just kept ringing on her end. I'll probably only use it for emergencies.
-
I've never seen a WiWavelength like. For me, it's the Aurora borealis of s4gru.
-
You get an hd icon in the status bar, and the phone screen (see my screenshot). And the Wi-Fi calling icon goes away once you turn it off.
-
It also like like on the pull down shade, the GPS icon is different, and do not disturb just says dnd.
-
Just got mine, too.
-
It really is cramped up there. I wasn't thinking when I made that comment. Ok, I hope it's not in the status bar.
-
Probably similar to the screen shot I saw in the g3 thread. It's an unobtrusive "hd" on the phone screen. I'd like something on the status bar myself.
