Something like 5 Nvidia Shield tablets batteries swelled up (I don't think they exploded like the Note 7 did, but got hot and caused some burns) and Nvidia did a full recall on them. 80,000 tablets. Few weeks later they pushed an update to brick the units.

S6 was the first I believe.

No I just flashed it. I have us version so... No update notification.

Ca doesn't work on att either. Seems most carriers are taking this action against non branded devices. Volte is the other target.

FYI 6.0.1 for 1572 is rolling out now. I'm running it and it is much smoother then 6.0 so something to look forward to.

I'm officially on att now and one more sero plan has bitten the dust. Sprint really does have a great network along the front range of CO but going anywhere else is instant roaming unfortunately. Verizon was too locked down for me and tmo... Well no thanks.

Ladies (if there are any) & gents, can we please steer the conversation into a more anti-Sprint and pro-TMO course? Not enough Houston_Texas likes this.

Humble thanks

Haven't called Sprint in 10 years... chat works just fine for the occasional phone swap.

My thought is they pushed the mm update out to CDMA first for a reason. Perhaps they are testing modem changes and if they work well then we may see something in the 6.0.1 update.

Think I read something about exfat not working. Worth a shot anyway

Hmm mine worked fine. Maybe reformat on PC first?

Yep or some have reported simply removing the sim works

Nope but they are pushing to CDMA first

Sprint mm ota is rolling out now for those still waiting

Sure but if Sprint is really ending subsidy then it's best to know your options.

Yes, your contract will go away. You are essentially tied to your phone with a lease contract now, but it lets you upgrade a year early. As far as the $15 bill credit, see the following link. Every month when my month will renew, I have -$15 bill due until my actual bill gets finalized, then it's 143 something after taxes for 2 Sero lines, 1 leasing (64 gb 6s) and 1 still on subsidy. We actually only pay $4.73 I think extra a month to lease my wife's phone.

 

Hope this helps.

Sero customers get a $15 bill credit if you lease or use easy pay, so its about a wash vs. subsidy.

So Sprint is pushing me to "early upgrade" into a lease / easy pay. If I did this would my 1 yr contract go away, and how does one go about getting this bill credit? On sero of course. The email does not mention a credit and is unclear about my remaining contract. 

qbkings MM moto x pure video shows the changes nicely. 

I know that lol, I mean how??? No one has the update yet

Oh sure they do. OTAs started yesterday. 

Nothing yet... really doesn't seem much different then Lollipop except you can now adjust the quick settings menu and merge the sd card with internal.  If you like to tweak things xposed works pretty well on MM as does the new layers compatibility. Root and TWRP are both good to go as well.

Just got my mxp yesterday and updated to marshmallow. I checked debug and it is still showing incorrect band info, looks to be exactly the same as what is posted here already. Any Qs about MM or MM install let me know. Nice phone overall kind of surprised its not more popular. 

The thing about AT&T is that it is getting highly variable by market. My region is great (except Sioux Falls), and AT&T often out performs Verizon here. Even with a 10x10 and 5x5 over VZW's 10x10 and 15x15. However, the places I travel are a mixed bag. Some places are still good, some places are fair. But Denver is God awful for AT&T. Like Sprint circa 2012/2013.

I'm looking at at&t for better mountain coverage... How is their service in Loveland / ft Collins area? I try to stay away from Denver as much as possible. Also I assume the mvno (go phone) route is not a good idea since they use a lot of 3rd party coverage out here.

I have been pretty happy with sprint since moving back to Co but I am in the mountains a lot and any improvement there would be nice.

Any word on Sprint activation?

On Sprint or republic?

You should be able to flash recovery no? If not go into stock recovery and wipe data
