You guys have any luck when accessing the Chat Settings in Samsung Messages or are you getting an error as well?

That's a different one than I am getting.

Man I haven't got the update yet and I been checking everyday lol

Is there any reason why the firmware still isn't able to download through Frija or elsewhere?

Got Mine

Got the update as well, and also got the error message when trying to use the chat features in Samsung Messages. Ran around with Verizon and Samsung and the gist of it is that it's a Samsung Messages error that will need an app update for.
I don't know if I want to use it anymore, though, because I thought it was going to use the Google RCS but it looks like it's only going to use the VZW version which, my understanding is, only works with other VZW customers with the approved phones. So looks like I'll stick with Google Messages.

what finally??? the whole world is getting it in January.

I appreciate the reference but the VZW firmware is CTL4 and the update comes with a way to enable low band 5G so I need that specific firmware, I appreciate the help though!

yeah, I decided to say **** it and just flash CTL2. If I have to, I'll roll back in the future and reupdate to be on official VZW. It's not like I haven't done it before lol

Lol join the f**k and flash crew. It's almost customary for me to download every firmware for each compatible region and see what flashes and what doesn't lol. Call me reckless.

Right? Lol I still can't get 5G though, I've already swapped 6 SIM cards and nothing. It'll stick for a little while with the new SIM but after a reboot I get sent back to LTE, not even LTE+. Which is weird considering Spectrum uses the exact same towers/firmware as Verizon which is why I was confused as to why I didn't receive the CTL4 update.

That's odd. I also have the tendency to swap between LTE then 5G but generally it only occurs when I'm on Wi-Fi. After disabling it, it will stays on 5G low band. Might just be the area because VZW just flipped the switch in my area maybe a couple of weeks ago.
This was from 5 minutes ago:
This was right afterwards:
So, it changes quite a bit at times.

I got the update using Verizon firmware. The phone feels fast and 5G low band is the same as before. Now the things I dislike:
1. The Samsung clock font used on the AOD, lockscreen, and notification is a throwback to the S3 days and looks cartoony. The Roboto font was cleaner and more consistent.
2. The battery life is terrible so far. I'm dropping about 10% per hour whereas I could go a full 24 hours before.
I'm going to see if rolling back via ODIN works. Might see if the November Android 10 firmware for the U1 has low band 5G support.

Hmmm might be because I'm on spectrum, so I'm using verizon network but yet at the same time I'm not verizon? I'm constantly stuck on LTE and the speeds, well pretty much suck. I don't complain much as my medical condition keeps me at home 24/7 anyways and I have 200Mbps wifi so I'm not too worried. My only issue is that I paid for a 5G device so I kinda want to see what the hype is about 5G speeds.

I get what you mean. I don't think we'll get 5G UW anytime soon in my area but the next closest place that supports it is ATL, so at some point in time I'll go up that way to test what the whole hype is about. I generally use wifi as well, so I got the 20 ultra for the 108MP and future proofing, especially when I get BL unlock and root.

Do some more speed tests, verify that you're on 3g and post the results please. I'm 100 % skeptic that you're getting 715 up on your 3g connection.
And if it's true, tell us what you've done to get around it.
So was that through Photoshop or MSPaint? Maybe even Gimp although I've never used it.
This is on full 3g walking around in best buy

Mine or the other guy who is completely trolling the thread?
Ill post mine when I have full signal. I have personally watched mine shoot up to 600 then go back, like it was forced, down to 150...several times.
I ran the speedtest app a few more times. I notice its getting my location wrong. But i ran about 8 tests and all were above 150 upload. This was the lowest result. Phone is running the stock rom just rooted.
And another
No tricks or anything. And im not trolling. This is the first time i have hit higher than 150 on upload so i am not sure what is happening. I am running the new update but that didn't fix anything.

Sorry, not you. The other guy. Now that he told us where, I'll go to my Sprint Authorized Reseller local Best Buy and do the same. I expect that I will get the same results until I move out of range of the store.
Edit: Either that or this guy has the only working, uncapped Epic in existence.

I'm definitely not going to believe that you're getting twice the UL speed as you are the DL....
ive gotten -0 on download before...
^^^ Hey, are you in Kansas? Or did you just choose the speedtest server in Kansas?
If you're in Kansas, the fact that you're getting > 150kbps is a GOOD sign, and suggests that Sprint might actually have a grip on the problem and be close to fixing it. Think about it... their engineering is HQ'ed in Kansas. If they need to roll out a fix to towers, which towers would be the first ones to get the fix? Right... the ones in Sprint's back yard.
Kansas is a great place for Sprint to stage its fixes... not only are their best engineers there, but Kansas City is also just the right size for a first-stage fix. It's big enough to be a challenging real city, but it's not New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, so if something were to go wrong, few people outside of the immediate metro area would be likely to notice unless it were really, really bad or lasted for a long time. Contrast that with somewhere like New York, where a 30-second service outage would make world headlines.
Also, the fact that you got faster performance from a femtocell (presumably an Airave at Best Buy) is itself good news, because it suggests that once Sprint gets the towers fixed, Airave users won't find themselves marginalized with slow speeds for months waiting for a fix.
Actually... has anybody in an area with 150k towers tried an Epic with an Airave to see whether it makes a difference?

Excellent idea - I'll be getting a 3G Airave for my parents's house in about 3 days, I'll definitely give this a try.

Odd. I'll take you at your word, but I'm curious now as to why you're getting speeds that nobody else is getting. I'm in SD and still getting 150kbps wherever I go.
Are you guys rooted and running custom roms? How are you getting speedtest.net to work on your epic without flash?

No OTA yet.

Am I wasting my time calling TMO about why I haven't gotten the OTA update yet or is there a chance they can actually do something about it?

Just update it yourself. It's a pretty easy task.
Yea if you check out the development section there is like 10 posts for doing it manually doesn't take long at all why wait just do it yourself I did on the 3rd works great

Yeah I always did the manual updates on my Nexus and now I'm waiting to actually see what an official OTA looks like. That's the only reason I'm still holding out on the manual update... I'm starting to get anxious for the update at this point, it just doesn't seem to like me
i havent recived mine either. been doing the "check in" thing since it started, but nada. is there anything we can do to force the update? i dont want to manually do it either, as the guy above me said, i wanna see what a normal ota is like
I'm in the same category. No update yet. I don't even know what other prompts you are all talking about lol.
Hurry up T-Mobile! Does anyone have it confirmed that Wi Fi calling WILL use your plan minutes?
No OTA here yet either. I'm in los angeles, I figured I would have gotten it by now.

It even says on the notification screen it'll use plan minutes.

Thanks man! I didn't know because I didn't get it yet. At least that question is answered. I'm in Long Beach, CA I thought I would've gotten it by now.... Hmm...
from what i can tell seems like not many on the west coast ahve gotten it yet, as i live in LA also. has anyone in los angeles recieved it yet?
I still haven't gotten my ota yet.. I really thought I was the only one. I really hope i get it soon.. I'm tired of these random shutoffs and I want my wifi calling! >_
I live in Chicago and have not gotten it yet. I will update it manually later this week when I'm not as busy.
Seattle. Still waiting. I don't think it has to do with your location though.
Does doing it manually update the radio as well?
In Philly and no update yet. Spoke with Tmob CS and they can't/won't do a manual push. I asked what next steps are starting tomorrow and she said to call their technical support line. I somehow doubt that all these folks are going to get it in the next 11-12 hrs magically.
Well it seems I'm not the only one. I don't have the tIME to call right now, but like others I'm getting anxious.
My call quality OS spotty at best and is like to see what the radio update does for that of anything. Plus the WiFi calling would be cool.
Waiting waiting waiting.......
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
As far as I know doing it manually is identical to waiting for the OTA.
Just update manually. There's nothing magical about getting the OTA pushed to you compared to doing it youself. Its like picking up a pizza yourself instead of waiting for the delivery guy. You're still getting the same pizza.
Ok, now I'm hungry for pizza.

Thoughts on the Sprint Varient

Ive been a long time lurker on this site prolly since the GSII-- I dont post much then , or with me GSIII or Note 2- I guess thats why that account no longer exists. So with my purchase of the Note Edge i knew this would be my go to place for any information or eventually ROM's-- i gotta say that normally i never spent more then a day with Touchwiz- usually rooting and flashing within 24 hours of purchase. Ive had the phone foe about 4 days and.... HOLY MOLY this phone is slooow... so much crap is running-- 3gb of ram and 2 and half of it is always used-- sprint zone and fb keep updating and re downloading even though i continuously uninstall them daily and revert to original software versions. Now i finally understand peoples hatred towards touchwiz.. im used to ASOP-- I coulda swore touchwiz was NOT that bad in the GSII days ;-( although i have faith the dev. will take off eventually with this phone... if there were other options i might have considered going else where-- im coming from a rooted note2) But i dont think there is anything remotely better then samsung-- as bad ass as the phone is spec'd out to be i thought it would be as zippy as the nexus--- but it is most definitely slower then my note- Also since ive been ot of the loop this KNOX stuff is all new to me--basically from what i gathered by googling any root will void the warranty on the device? ive never ever sent a phone in to samsung but there is times ive gone to A Sprint tech center for help--will they turn me away if its 0x1? well i just wanted to stop by and say hi to this forum-- im beginning the process to acquire files so i can root my phone tonight-- id think the sky is the limit with the things we can do with out phones--- Much thanks to the DEV's that make this possible!!
Well your sprint one seems to be acting funny.. I'm on my T-Mobile Note Edge, and I started from the G1. This phone is really smooth, no errors, and for the first time really no reason for me to have to root my phone and get rid of bloat ware to speed things up! And that was before I disabled the bloat ware anyways. You could say I'm also waiting for a way to root without tripping Knox. I'm kinda curious how ASOP or CyanogenMod will look like on this phone, and if they'll be able to use the edge productively. I'm actually throughly pleased with the phone, especially with how the home launcher is setup. My only bug is the fact that the second favorite edge doesn't allow for reorganization. That's my 2 cents. I hope your experience becomes more enjoyable

Let me restate...i kinda sounded like a whiney brat with my last/first post. I realize that we as a group aa the less then 1% that care about specs.. and ver numbers. Im just not used to TouchWiz trying to do everything for me yet not the things i want it to do. for example every time I touch it text entry field I have a keyboard icon on the top of the notification bar...prompting me to choose Input method EVERYTIME?!? everyday I get sprint zone adverts in my notification bar even though I uninstall it every night before bed.. and multiple times a day I'm asked if I would like to sign in for Picasa.. i say no 3 or 4 times a day.. i cant figure out how to delete it. I miss the custom roms where all this bs is not even installed. Granted i knew there wasn't much support when i took the jump.. and honestly these issues would be the same with the regular note 4... id most definitely be willing to throw some $ to a recocognized established dev out there ... im miss my paranoid android and illusion roms :-/ but i know nothing out there can compare to the note edge at the moment...!
I have none of the issues you speak of. My only real issue is with kit Kat since I can't write to my sd card but other than that I am good with my phone.
I'm using the AT&T stock version and haven't encountered any issues except I waited to long to send it back to get the white version. Lol. Other than that I like the device.

I usually use CWM, but that's only because it's old school. Right now I chose not to install it in the last step of that thread because I have never used TWRP before. I have to say that I like the touch interface.
Besides getting the sprint variant of auto root you also need the sprint variant of TWRP. I posted a guide with basic steps including getting private mode working with xposed
For those that are here to help, thanks for pointing me to where I need to go, for those that posted about my needing to read, maybe you should spell check your snyde remarks before posting........lol

So... My Verizon LG G4 shipped with "MODIFIED" firmware...

So a lil background on me... I'm very experienced in phone rooting and the like. I work for Best Buy Mobile, and see all the new stuff well before anyone else. I played with the LG G4 a month before release and it was love at first sight. Well I ordered mine thru my concessions line I have thru work and it arrived yesterday. I opened it, activated it and immediately turned on developers options, mainly because I knew some animations were turned off. Well, I had to look at the software version, and it said "MODIFIED".
I purchased the one with the leather back. It is completely stock, I've not even attempted to try root, if we even have it yet. Did anyone else purchase theirs and it have " MODIFIED" software?

I'm not an expert, but that font is NOT the same as on my phone. Looks like it has indeed been customized to a certain extent.
If you're displeased with it, I'd exchange it for a new one.

You can change the font in settings.

My VS986 says same thing. Bought at Verizon kiosk in BJs.

Same here. I imagine activating Developer's Options, and/or turning on debugging does it.
Pretty sure it said Modified before I turned on Dev Opts.

I read somewhere in this forums that a lot of Verizon G4 users claim that it arrived as modified. They suspected that Verizon disabling some functions, such as FM radio, might have caused it and didn't double check to see the software version.
If I were you I'll contact Verizon to double check.

Either way, it doesn't mean anything. To us, regarding root, anyway.
I agree. Sounds like Verizon's build. Nothing more. That doesn't mean it doesn't suck though.

Just checked on my Verizon G4, and it currently says official next to software status.

Woops, sorry about that.
For some reason, I thought replacing fonts required some fancier, higher level customization options.
Probably thinking back to my old iPhone jailbreak days. /shudders

Yeah, I have the VS986 as well, and I show "Official" under status. I have USB debugging on as well. Bought the phone at Verizon this past Sunday

Mine def said modified before I did that. It just struck me as odd. Idk why it would say that.

I bought mine from a Verizon store (not third party) on day 1. I have used Developer Options, USB Debugging, and connected via adb, and my software still says Official. Build is LMY47D, Config is J14.LGE.VS986.0
Yea I'm def not sure why mine says that at all. Mine was shipped to me. I guess it's nothing to really worry about really. Phone flies like I knew it would lol

I picked it up 6/15 at my local Best Buy.
Mine says official.
I picked up mine from Verizon on Saturday, says "Official" .. enabled Developer mode .. rebooted .. still says "Official".
As stated on other threads, 'Modified' or 'Official' doesn't mean anything here.

Nougat update, to little to late?

I read the axon 7 won't get nougat till January I can only assume the mini might get it at the same time. Anybody else disappointed ? 7.1 is already out, but then who knows what will be available by then. i was thinking about swapping mine because it's getting useless reception but now I may just return it.
I just received an update. Makes it much smoother and faster.

. The phones where massive at the time I remember and I as they never really had much advertising campaigns I had no idea what what 3G was I thought it was a cheap Co using someone else's network and only selling a monopoly of massive cheap fones since others wouldn't work on there network lol, I now I see the were years ahead of there time, They had first internet fones, face to face calling etc etc , anyway waaay of topic here I can't find b21 American or the bets 7.1.2 b2 roms away where I'd love Nuagat on my axon mini swell but just have to wait or keep googling ftp site filetype:rar,zip,rom etc & "last modified" inurl:ftp "up to higher fitectory" d2017b b21 or b09 etc if I find it I will share it here in b09 already has been shared so , next one to I'll share cheers
