T-Mobile continues to expand their Bing On Service with an announcement today that they have added 13 new providers.  If you aren’t familiar with Binge On, it is a part of most T-Mobile plans that allows you to stream content without counting against your data allowance each month.  There are now over 80 video providers alone in the program and music content continues to expand.  In today’s announcement, the big news for Android users was the addition of Google Play Music to the service.  Now you can stream your music on your T-Mobile account without eating any data.

For those of you who have the excellent LG G3 on the T-Mobile network, today is a great day.  The carrier has started pushing out the Android Marshmallow update to the device, bringing it up to version 6.0 of Android and all the goodness that the release has in it.  The updated version you are looking for is build H63120b and while T-Mobile on their support page do not given an indication of size, if other updates are any indication, you can expect about a 1GB download from Lollipop to Marshmallow.  That means you will need to be on Wi-Fi to download it and you can expect the total update time to take about 30 minutes.

It has been a busy week for T-Mobile and it is only Tuesday!  Today the US-based carrier started the roll out of the Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update for customers who have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ on their network.  The update, build G928TUVU2DPD1 for those keeping score at home, is a typical hefty update at 1.3GB.  You will have to be on Wi-Fi in order to download it to your  S6 Edge+ and as is always the case, the update requires a restart of your phone and should take between 10-20 minutes to complete.

Good news for Galaxy Note 5 owners on the T-Mobile network.  Today the carrier has started rolling out the Android Marshmallow update to the device.  The update is coming to Note 5 users as an OTA update and weighs in at a hefty 1.4GB.  This is one that you will certainly need to be on Wi-Fi to download and you can expect a 10-20 minute total install time once you do get it downloaded.  For those keeping score, the updated build is N920TUVV2DPD1.

If you have been wanting to get your hands on the latest flagship phone from LG, the LG G5, you can go to any of the major US carriers and pick one up starting today.  AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon all have the device available for order on their sites and most of them should have the device available for pick-up at their larger stores.  If you are planning on trying to get on in person today, be sure to call ahead to make sure your local retail outlet has the device in stock.

T-Mobile has announced that customers who want to get the new LG G5 on their network can start ordering it online on March 29th, days ahead of its general availability on April 1st.  Customers can either purchase the phone outright at $629.99 or do a 24 month payment plan which is $26.24 per month.  The announcement means that the carrier will have the phone available for purchase here in the US first amongst the other carriers, something that they have been doing a lot of lately (like on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge)
