    Sd card issues with 6.0 marshmallow update.

    Accidentally accepted M on my Sprint Note 4. HATED IT. Un reliability was cured by Factory Data Reset. What was not cured was Android M's intolerable insistence to force selection of default programs fur categories like browser or navigation. I bounce between 5 different browsers depending...

    Any news from people who received 2.006sp update

    Glad to hear it was pain-free, EchoDude. Did you pull the update or was it pushed to you?

    EoL

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    z4root never completed for me, then I got cold feet. No root, so no full backup. I have heard stories of rooting being used by Sprint as an excuse to deny service / repair / TEP claims. Having root to be able to get complete restore is worthy of consideration. But, if they will not give me a...

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    I would welcome tips on getting back to my installed apps & settings after getting a replacement Echo. Just plugging in my original SDcard does not display my apps as installed. Phone and SD were at about 90% full b4 this problem. Android market let me download my paid apps again, no problem...

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    I did the download a few times myself. Finally had the screen with the Andy out of the box graphic. Before it completed, it rebooted and is now stuck @ Kyocera logo. Sprint store after work.:'(
