Sprint Nexus 5 4.4.3 update(not yet)

I'm posting this for us sprint user's.I feel it important since we are waiting for specific band's to be enabled for spark to work.I've already installed the factory img from Google and no spark.I contacted sprint and was told it was Google working on our Sprint specific 4.4.3 update.Anyway can someone when they get the ota can you let me/us sprint user's now.Maybe I or one of us can can walk you through making it into a flash able zip.Thank you.

There is no Sprint specific OTA, everyone gets the same update regardless of what carrier they are on. The Sprint Spark update is already in the existing update, I sideloaded the OTA and it enabled the spark bands.
You're just not a Spark tower.

What are you talking about?
There is no sprint specific update.

If spark is the only concern, I've been using spark for last few months with the .15 radio.... Without 4.4.3. However if u flashed any 4.4.3 ROM u should have spark. U might not b in the spark enabled area.

If your location is Daytona Beach then no coverage for you. The closest is Orlando.

I was in Orlando today,actually almost where Tampa as well and nothing.I was under the impression the update would enable those band's.
While my buddy on his g2 gets his nice shiny icon spinning wtf.
I am running stock. 4.4.3 I side loaded when it was available.looking foward to be able to test it on my trip today.Truth is I got worse singal than before.Oh well.never mind and thanks for the replies.
Wait I beg to differ,I read from A.P on twitter Sprint will specificly be sending out a update ending 6/9 for those band's to be enabled for us less fortunate cdma user's.

Why not enable band 26&41 yourself? it is so easy to do so

Sprint says that the Nexus 5 update will be rolling out until June 9th which means that it could take a little less than a week for the 90MB update to land for Nexus 5 owners around the U.S. and around the world. Sprint also says that the update will enable Sprint Spark band 26 and band 41 for its Nexus 5 users.
I will link the page in a second.http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/06/03/nexus-5-android-4-4-3-kitkat-update-now-available/ scroll down and you will see what am talking about?

if you have root, use this to enable band 26&41, you can also set the priority.

My bands are all enabled with 4.4.3 but I had enabled them previously. You guys are saying this update is not enabling all band?

There's no specific update for Sprint. 4.4.3 and it's new radio enabled all the sprint radios.

This update enables all bands. I know cuz I reset my data by dialing *#*#72786#*#* before taking the OTA and only band 25 was enabled. Then after the OTA all bands showed as enabled... Notice the band 41 I'm now connected to???

Priority is listed now as 1,1,1. You can change it to allow band 41 to be number 1, but you'd still most likely connect to 25.

It is the same update. Nothing carrier specific. The Sprint site says that the OTA is rolling out until June 9. So anywhere between now and then it will be released via OTA if you havent already sideloaded it. I read the tweet, it says the Nexus 5 OTA, not Sprint Nexus 5 OTA, is rolling out in batches until June 9. T-Mobile said the same thing. If you go the the Sprint support site for the Nexus 5.. same build KTU84M is listed.

Sorry but you are wrong. Sprint is just posting the OTA schedule for 4.4.3. What enables spark is the radio update included in 4.4.3. There is no way for Sprint to update that remotely since they have no control over OTA updates for Nexus 5 phones.

[Q] Note 4 internet/call issues

Hi Guys,
I just adquire my Note 4 from a friend and i'm having lots of problems to conect to the network in my country, i live outside of USA (Dominican Republic), somethimes it makes and receive calls, somethimes i don't receive any calls but can make it but when i make it the other person can't listen to me (i've tried with diferent phone numbers) also the internet 4G/LTE is no consistent. In summary, i'm having lots of signal\internet issues with my Note 4.
My question is, is that a hardware issue or i need to try with other baseband or modem to fix this?
please give me some light as i'm losing my mind with.
thanks in advance...
Miggs

I would first create a new apn specific to your carrier...
Then i would check to see if in fact your running the latest modem for the device..
But start with the apn...

Thank you for your help @Flashvetrin i checked the APN and it is correct, my modem is also the latest available UVU1ANK4 (not 100% sure did not find any other on internet) for t-mobile stock rom, some say this could be internal hardware problems but i dont think so because the phone make some calls and internet works sometimes but is not consistant.
i made a hard reset and i worked for some minutes but lost signal and went back to this behaivor again.
really don't know what to do now..
thanks in advance.
Miggss

Can you take the device in for a sim upgrade???? Does the device recieve stronger signal anywhere in your area???? Interesting how your saying that after a hard reset it helps..
Try using short cut master from the playstore use #2263 launch0 and run 4 thru 8 ....

It is most likely coverage problem. My understanding is that biggest cell provider in DR is company which uses cdma technology. Do a little research which gsm provider has better coverage in your area and if lte bands used are compatible with your note4.

I've done all of the steps you mention and nothing gets better, it just works when he wants (most of the time it donesnt). I will try installing a ROM just for testing purposes.
I changed my SIM card for the newest LTE capable one. @darekz im on Claro and they are GSM\LTE.
Thanks in advance,
Miggs

I did do quick search and appears that claro using lte band 4 which is supported by Tmobile note 4. Just to check can you disable lte in phone settings and see if daya transfer improves over 4g. With poor lte coverage phone will constantly fallback to 4g and keep looking for lte.

I have changed all the different options and nothing.

Hi @Flashvetrin,
The baseband is K4, i flashed the NJ and it keeps almost the same behaivor, i can say K4 is a bit better as at least i can make calls, no calls with NJ.
build.prop, i dont know how to edit it and i'm note certainly sure about it as it can brick my phone.
Let's assume it's a hardware issue, is the hardware in charge of control the siganl interchangable, can i buy it on internet, or is my phone destined to be a clip for papers??
BTW, i installed another ROM and it's the same, no way.
Thanks for all your help,

Question what was the behavior of the phone like when it was in the us????
Fyi there are things that can be changed..
(ALOT) of things in the build prop..
your phone wont brick....
I promise..
But if your not comfortable i understand.
It may be that the modem hsic just isnt or doesnt respond on "this" paticular network..
The phone that you compared it to was it purchased in the us as well...
If its infact an International Version it may have some bearing.....
No its not a paper weight...but i am starting to run out of ideas/solutions...
Please be paitent.. im gonna consult some else as well..

The phone is the same, a TMO Note 4 bought in US and taken to DR, that's why i say this could be a hardware issue as my SIM worked very well on her phone.
I will try with other baseband and let you know.

[Q] ROMs + Project Fi

What ROMs will work with Project Fi?
Do i need to stick with the stock ROM for it to function correctly?

All will work for you. One thing to make sure you do get is the Project Fi app. You may want to compile it into a zip you can install it with whatever ROM. Otherwise, you'll have to make sure you're on WiFi, so you can download it from Play Store.

all ROMs will work, BUT.. only the stock ROM if you want the WiFi calling, as that won't work on any ROM, except for stock.

why do you need to be on WiFi to download it from the play store?

Thanks for the info guys.
I'm going to run a self experiment on myself and turn Mobile Data off completely when i get my phone tomorrow, and see if i can go a month only using Wifi for data, just to see how difficult it would be to have the lowest possible phone bill.

I don't think "any rom" is the correct answer.
Since Sprint uses LMY47Z as their 5.1.1 build ID
And T-Mobile uses LYZ28E as their 5.1.1 build ID
Is there going to be a hybrid build of the 2 Factory Images?

you CAN use whichever factory image you want, they will work on any provider, same with the radios. if you are on tmo, you just might not get WiFi calling if using a different factory image. but that is stock, the op is talking about custom ROMs. all will work on project fi, but will not be able to do WiFi calling.

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that you don't have Project Fi, and you are just guessing.
I'll just wait till my phone shows up and then post screenshots of everything stock so we have some actual proof on what factory image project fi is using.

that's the while point, anyone with a n6 can use project fi. it does not matter where the n6 was bought. your phone will not get a magic ota, it'll use whatever version you're already on.

because tmobile uses WiFi calling, and sprint doesn't. BTW, att and international users are getting the same build as sprint. anyways, on m, WiFi calling is included for all, but will only show up for tmo users or project fi users. yes, it'll probably be back to one build for all after lollipop.

WiFi calling is going to be in the stock image. I'd be more interested to see what part of that image is controlling the WiFi calling and switching between WiFi and two networks. Once that's isolated, I'd assume it could be baked into any ROM. My understanding was that the Project Fi app is just to monitor your account/usage/billing. But I'm not invited yet, so who knows.

Actually Google has their own Fi build for 5.1 (H) and has stated they are working on a Fi specific 5.1.1 build. People are getting carrier specific 5.1.1 OTAs on Fi though (only compounding the issues I've read regarding Fi and it's attempt to use two networks).

If you're on the Fi build I don't believe it lets you take carrier updates. In theory, Fi updates should roll out first. Ehhh Google

I just tested Fi with today's Chroma build. After installing the Fi app it connected to cell network. Everything worked fine except for the fact that I was stuck on Sprint. I normally land on T-Mobile. I doubt the network auto switching or open WiFi connect would work. I expected all this but decided to try anyway.

did you try any of the dialer codes to force network to switch ?

After an uninstall/reinstall of the Fi app and a reboot I was able to get back onto T-Mobile. I'm not sure if it will auto switch to Sprint. I'm in a good T-Mobile coverage area and never even saw the stock ROM switch.

AT&T Firmware On SM-N950F

Hello there, I have an international Galaxy Note 8 that I am currently using on AT&T here in the States. I have only been able to get H+ (3G) and using the NextGenPhone APN will not connect. I was told by AT&T that I need their firmware running on my device in order for it to work. This is a little frustrating, considering I bought this phone to avoid AT&T's firmware and locked bootloaders. Will installing this firmware lock my bootloader? I currently have it unlocked and rooted and do not want to brick it. If anyone has tried this let me know how it went and where you got the firmware from. Thanks!

The att firmwares are made specifically for snapdragon devices, so, an att firmware will not even install in your exynos F model, sorry man…

Which csc you have selected with your international N950F device
The US csc for AT&T was available on your firmware?
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

Since he is rooted can he just flash the at&t csc using this:

Thank you for your reply. I tried your suggestion with some "success". I installed the ATT CSC but I am still met with the same issue, except now it reports that I have 4G instead of H+ (although its the same speed as before). My preferred network type is UTMS/LTE which I believe is normal. I am currently using the ATT Phone APN because NextGenPhone will not work. Any suggestions?

Do you know the frequency bands that your network uses and does the note 8 support them?
Maybe try another usa carrier csc might have better luck.

I don't think you will get LTE speeds unless at&t provisions your imei number. Same as using an unlocked t mobile USA model on at&t. There is plenty of threads about no 4G or LTE signal on stock unlocked handsets on here. I don't believe your issue is unique to your device being an F model as opposed to U.

Mate, if you get 4G, you should be fine! 4G and LET means the same.
https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/4g-vs-lte/
LTE is actually the technology to realize the 4G standard.
So if your phone is showing 4G you should have your fast speed. But also H+ have a great speed.
If the speed isn't fast enough, maybe it's limited by your provider or location.

When I called AT&T I told them the IMEI number needs to be provisioned and they attempted to get me to install their firmware, which failed because my phone is rooted and blocks updates (among other reasons). Is there any other way I can get them to do it?

The AT&T firmware installation don't failed because your phone is rooted, but because it's a completely different firmware! The US models are devices with Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoC, while the international (F) version have the Samsung Exynos SoC.
So you tried to flash a wrong firmware version for your device.
Be happy installation failed and you don't bricked your device by flash wrong bootloader!
You wrote, you have 4G now? What you want more? With a rooted device you can change the showing icon like you want.
Here in Germany since i got note 8, for me it also shows 4G instead of LTE in statusbar. Before it always shows LTE (same SIM card, same provider)

When I called AT&T I told them the IMEI number needs to be provisioned and they attempted to get me to install their firmware, which failed because my phone is rooted and blocks updates (among other reasons). Is there any other way I can get them to do it?

Does your F model show 4G ? If so, as what the other person said is correct. The F models show 4G symbol instead of LTE.

It only shows 4G after flashing the AT&T CSC. Prior to that it showed H+. When I open Speedtest.net it shows my connection as being 3G in the app and my speeds are still extremely low. 3mbps download and 0.5kbps. My Note 4 on LTE would do about 30 up and down in this area. To use LTE I would have to use the ATT NextGenPhone APN which does not work for me. I have to use ATT Phone.

All I know is that at&t doesn't allow high speed connectivity for imei numbers not on their system. There have been many posts on here with people with non at&t devices having slow data speeds.

If your device is rooted and you flashed the csc selection changer you should be able to select "LTE only" into connection settings.
Select it and test your speed again.. maybe the signal strength it bad at your testing location

Unlocked Variant TMobile band 71 and WiFi Calling Support

Does anybody know if the Unlocked version will support these features. They were sold out of the TMobile one when I went to order so I went unlocked. After contact with a few reps from TMobile and Samsung they seem to have no idea what will actually work... So I have a hard time believing what they say. Band 71 was a big selling point for me on upgrading and I hope I didn't make a mistake going with an unlocked device.

I order the Unlocked Snapdragon for T-mobile and all usa bands including 71 will be there as far I as can tell... We need to get our hands on some of these for testing.

The s9+ unlocked supports it so I dont know why the s10 wouldn't

My only reason for concern is that Samsung and Tmobile are giving me information stating it won't, they (Samsung) even told me WiFi calling won't work (even though it shows it will on the samsung support site)
I read that all of this worked fine on the s9, it just seems odd that they are saying it won't... especially band 71.

Just got my s10 plus and I see no options for wifi calling or volte. Me thinks I should have gone with the T-Mobile carrier brand. Anyone know how to flash a T-Mobile firmware to an unlocked Galaxy phone?

My unlocked definitely has wifi calling. It will not allow me to take a screenshot due to security in that section.

Where are you looking because if your looking in settings for wifi calling your in the wrong place. Open the phone app and look in its settings. At least that is where it is in the s9+ unlocked

My S10 unlocked on T-Moblile has wifi calling but not VoLTE. Bkeaver is correct that you need to open your phone app and check the 3-dot upper right corner menu for the wifi calling setting.

Welp, do I feel like a complete noob. Thanks I do see it now. Now just need to remedy Volte.

My unlocked S10e has WiFi Calling on T-Mobile. You may not find settings for VoLTE settings, but it works too.
When I first put my sim card in, the phone told me that it would restart to setup a carrier. It did, then I saw that quick setting panel added new button "wifi calling" and I tested it right away, including VoLTE

VoLTE works too, I just can't find settings, but it is enabled by default on my T-Mobile sim

Based on Charkatak's post, I searched and found the following site: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988 which says in part: VoLTE (Voice over LTE) allows you to place and receive calls on our LTE data network, and it's available nationwide. Placing a call connects twice as fast.
Switching between 4G VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling does not drop a call. So I tried placing a call without wifi using LTE and switched to wifi. The call stayed connected. Hoping this indicates we have VoLTE.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you can test VoLTE by making a call and then checking which antennas you're connected to. If you are only on LTE towers you should have VoLTE enabled. I did this test and it seems to be working for me.

Can confirm VoLTE and Wifi Calling works fine on T-Mobile with an unlocked S10 with Snapdragon.

Yup. VoLTE is voice over LTE, so no need to involve wifi. Devices without it simply fail to connect, or switch to 2G/3G automatically (when available).
Samsung has a compatibility chart, and VoLTE was already listed for tmobile.

Excellent news! :good:

I think I already know the answer, but I'm throwing this out there: the unlocked version doesn't come with the native ability to do multi-line for DIGITS. Clearly specific to the U firmware for T-Mobile. Has anyone happened to see a fix for this...like a T-Mobile CSC for S10, or something?
I mean, the DIGITS app still allows me access to my second line, but I'd obviously MUCH prefer the T-Mobile integrated solution in the dialer.

Yes the unlocked version absolutely can do digits. It is not specific to the U version. I have the unlocked version of the s9 + and had digits going for my Galaxy watch with no issues.

Does Digits just use one phone number for many lines? Like having a LTE Watch?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Yes digits allows multiple numbers to be connected to 1 line

I went to TMobile yesterday to setup my new Galaxy Watch. I guess They set up Digits to my line #, but gave me a new number for the watch line at $10/mo. They told me I don't use that new number, and it's only for the main# to forward to..
