    What's the name of the program that you're using to show the Band 41 signal strength on your phone? Signal Check Pro doesn't seem to be working my phone unless I'm rooted. I don't want to root my phone and lose the option to receive updates for my phone (a note 4). What's the "12KB/s" indicator next to it mean?

    The Band 41 signal strength icon in my status bar is a new feature of SignalCheck Pro. I'm in the SCP beta group and have been testing it for the past couple of weeks. SignalCheck Pro was just recently updated to include this awesome feature, so give the update a shot. Hopefully it works for you now. :tu:

     

    The "12KB/s" is from Internet Speed Meter. It's a neat little app that shows your data speed in real time, as well as your data usage over the past 30 days. I used the lite version for a while and liked it so much that I upgraded to the paid version. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.internet.speed.meter.lite

    Im new to Sprint. I came onboard from ATT after 12 years and I took advantage of the cut your bill in half promo. Now my question is this...I live in Troutdale (97060) and is there any place I can get info about Spark coming to my area? I know when I travel to Lloyd Center Im in Spark, so I believe theres a tower somewhere near the vicinity.

    Ive researched on the internet and cannot find anything about Portland coming online with Spark anytime soon. Thanks for your input.

    Welcome to Sprint and to S4GRU!

     

    Sprint is actively rolling out Spark (LTE Band 41) in the Portland metro area, which will include Troutdale.

     

    I cannot give any specifics in this thread regarding the sites in Troutdale, but I would not be surprised to see them upgraded within the next few months, due to how quickly the Band 41 rollout seems to be occurring here. I am connecting to B41 LTE more and more each week.

     

    As payturr mentioned, there is a wealth of information available to Sponsors and Premier Sponsors, including maps and upgrade schedules for all Sprint sites in the Oregon/SW Washington market. I definitely recommend making a donation to help keep the site funded if you are interested in learning more.

     

    Again, :welc:

    Mike, to add to the Moto 360/Android Wear discussion, here are images of what a Signal Check Pro notification looks like on the Moto 360. I receive two notifications, both appear the same on the watch. They usually pop up on the watch every couple of days and I simply clear them out.

     

    Small notification:

    Expanded notification:

    I haven't noticed any severe battery drain without the SCP notifications being disabled. I charge the watch at night and have no problem getting a full day of use out of the watch. Just my observation, others' mileage may vary.

     

    Also, I am loving the new beta. Keep up the good work! :)

    Did anyone actually get the AMEX card that was promised when purchasing the G3 back in July? I still hadn't gotten mine, was curious today and found out it was denied. I'm having trouble understanding why, as I did everything that was required.

    Yep, I received mine about a month ago. I bought my G3 on launch day and registered for the AMEX card shortly thereafter.

     

    Hopefully they will just credit you the $150 to keep you from having to wait longer.
