Very rarely on any of these helplines does anybody use the own knowledge to give you an answer. They just type along on their computers and give standard 1-2-3 basic troubleshooting responses. You can say holy **** my phone just exploded and my house is on fire. Instead of them using their own...

This still doesn't help the original poster. But in last years case as odd as it may be, they must have found something wrong. Because they had a update waiting on the servers before the phone was even released.

The phones were shipped like 2 weeks early. Same thing as this year. The update was waiting. I found the article in the archives also: "Receive your Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge from T-Mobile already? Expect a software update almost immediately. According to T-Mobile support, a day 1 update...

Ok lets try this again. The T-Mobile S6 had an update waiting upon activation last year, Same exact scenario as this year, The pre orders that shipped early well before the official release date.

S6 pushed an update right out of the box last year.

This articles explains it. The company is using the two chips largely because they have different integrated modems. The chips are tied to cellular technology and spectrum use in different countries. Based on Carrier and Region requirements. What chip will your Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge have? | CIO

I don't have it so I can't answer who had it before me until I get it.

Yes the new 4g LTE model combined all GSM/GPRS/EDGE & UMTS/HSPA+ radios. The original moto g had the 1700 band in the US Model and the 2100 band in the global model. Thats why there were 2 version of the phone but the 4g has all the bands now so there is only 1 phone. The original article on...

I have San Antonio saved as one of my cities since I seen the post. I have not seen any other number except a '1'.

Yeah you can turn it off, until somebody cries and they remove that too.

It might be the notification for the software update. It stays there until you install it.

You ain't kidding, when it was pouring here this afternoon the thing was showing clear weather, lol.
