Last week Sprint extended Wi-Fi calling to the Tri-band (Spark) S4.
I had the software pushed to me this morning, and installed it.
Now I have the Wi-Fi icon in my status bar.
It disappeared when I went out, and re-appeared when I came home and connected to the wi-fi.
I'm guessing that's all I have to know about it?
Does anyone with wi-fi calling experience have any advice or caveats?

I got the update notification this morning, and clicked install, and then the phone rebooted, but into twrp; I then just rebooted back into my sytem, but I don't see anything about wifi calling so I have no idea if I have it or not. I thought it had to be activated on sprint website.
I don't think it installed since you are on a custom recovery. You have to be on stock recovery if not the update will fail.

Thanks Daniel
I just realized the problem and did install the stock recover image file. Guess I have to wait until Sprint decide I'm a good girl and re-send the update. Checking for update doesn't seem to do a thing.

Actually, you can just go to your Settings --> More --> System Update --> Update Samsung Software, and after click on it, you can then redownloaded it again.
I was wondering though, does anyone know what this update file is called, because when I tried to install this, it says, "Rebooting now... - 36.0 MB" but then just sits there, and doesn't do anything. I want to know the name, so I can deleted it and then try downloading it again. A little side note is that I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4, and updated it to KitKat. It is now running 4.4.2.
Anyone noticed the new firmware found with FF? The version is NXT-L09C432B580, dated 2017.04.19. None of system update or HiCare early adopters shows it.
How can it used to flash the phone?
Thanks.
I tried to download it for my Huawei Mate 8 L29C185 ...
In firmware finder it's showing L29C185B580 but it didn't work for me ... after the full file download ... 2.2 GB it's say this
You can try here!
Have any one got success installing this and how is your experience with it ? stable ? faster performance ? battery life ?
---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------
does the hisuite method over proxy install work with this update ?
Also will it work with L29?

Thanks, I might give this a try. Got a glitch with bluetooth since 321. Every reboot, you have to manually turn on bluetooth, and the
previous 185 version you did not.

Well, no luck there
I downloaded, unzipped, stuck it in the dload folder, rebooted with the up/down volume. It's like it did
with the firmware finder app also, gets to 5% and fails. Sounds like I'll have to wait until the built in
app says it is available...again.
I'll keep the link though, perhaps one day it will work properly.
If it helps, this is the one I downloaded.

Your bootloader is locked, right? I ask it because I wonder if there is an order to install these differents files, and I wonder if it will be easier to install it via TWRP. I looked the content of the small file and I'm not sure what it is.
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------
Maybe we have to install the small file before, it seems to be a patch file. So perhaps we have to install it for the second works.

Could be...Yes, I'm pretty sure the bootloader is locked. There is an option in developer options to allow it to be unlocked, but
it pops up a security warning, so I don't know if it will work or if it will hose something else.
I guess the "official" 580 will hit my phone one of these days soon.

You can see the difference with Huawei extractor in the screenshots below.
These are the files:
DTS.img
MODEMNVM_UPDATE.img
PRODUCT.img
RECOVERY2.img
SYSTEM.img
VENDOR.img
They are missing in OTA file.
"Huawei made changes in the installation process of the firmware. Now the firmware before installation passes the procedure of online checking. If you receive an "authentication failure" when installing the firmware, then at this time it is not possible to install this firmware on this unit, you need to wait. For the most stubborn:We did not find a way to bypass this test yet.. You need to wait until your imei is listed for this firmware, or make it "available to all"

Seems like the only way we'll be updating our phones from b560 before Huawei pushes OTA, is to roll back and upgrade directly to b580, or flash through custom recovery.
https://w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=719987
This is what i found in network for B580:
Status: Official (beta)
Version: NRD90M
EMUI: 5.0
"Disclaimer: This update is in beta stage which means that it may carry bugs that can have an impact on the usability of the device. Moreover, since this is a multifile update, you may encounter errors if you try installing this with the stock recovery."

There is a new system update from B340 to B350, seems like
Google and stability issues fixed (Android security patch level: September)

I updated to this build a week ago and this update really sucks for many honor 8 FrD L02 users. Occasional hanging and heating of phone occurs after this update.

Yes, I too got the update yesterday. Before applying this, I thought to check in forums to get a feedback. But, could find anywhere about this update. So, went ahead and applied. It has been just a day. So far, I do not see any improvement or change.
When I was on B340, I faced high battery drain during idle period. Even after this update, I see similar trend.

you can do with out doing unlocking the boot-loader , use the rollback package to EMUI 4.1 and then update to latest EMUI 5.0 , this is safest method and still you will get warranty when you stuck at middle.:fingers-crossed:

Hi, I've updated my firmware to android oreo, ever since the wifi is really poor keeps dropping and lagging. Also network connection is poor drops every now and then. I updated via Odin. Any suggestions would be appreciated
Clear the cache or factory reset?

Its not happening for me, you need to flash using odin using normal CSC and NOT the HOME CSC, after flashing wipe cache and factory reset.

I have a G930F, so it's the flat screen model but i'm having exactly the same issue.
Flashed BTU CSC, not CSC home. let it boot, went into recovery, wiped. WiFi still has issues even after a clean flash. The ! symbol sometimes appears and I lose access to the internet until i turn it off and on again.

I tried a different kernel and now both my.wifi and Bluetooth are working like a charm. Before on Oreo my wifi switch went completely gray and in order to get the Bluetooth to work , Everytime I had to do a network reset. But now it's working great.
I had another issue, my security was pattern unlock and it would take a minute for it to unlock and sometimes in between the screen would turn off, that problem also got solved with the kernel .

Hi,
I want to go back to 8.0 with April patch as I'm facing some issues with 8.1 and I want to install gcam without rooting. Can I use the MiFlash tool and this ROM:
https://c.mi.com/thread-971059-1-0.html
Please let me know if there is some other way I should do this.
The bug I'm facing with 8.1 is that when I'm on a call and using speakers, I'm not able to hang up after the call, call someone else or receive calls. I have to restart my phone to fix this issue. I tried a factory reset and clean install using MiFlash tool but neither of those helped.
Any help is appreciated.
I'm on stock 8.1 without any of the calling problems you mentioned. But if you want to roll back to April, the link in your post is correct.
