Got a (Sprint) Nexus? Want a Free Battery? (8/19)

When I ordered online, I logged into my Sprint account. There was a message in the info center about the free battery. I followed the link in the message, added the battery to the cart, entered the promo code and checked out. It worked fine.

 

I couldn't add it to my Sprint bill though either.

Pretty sure they stopped allowing that last year.

 

Its cool all you guys are getting free extended batteries though!

Did it over the phone. They made me do the 2-5 day shipping even after I brought up it costing $6.50 online. Came out to $14.45, not bad for an extra battery.

I cannot order off the website, I see no notifications in my info center, and I keep looping. They really want me to buy another Galaxy Nexus. When you order off the website is the total 6.50 with some tax or is it the same as ordering over the phone. Because they wanted 20 bucks on the phone.

Online there's a ground shipping option (if you can get there) for $6.50, over the phone they made me do the standard overnight at $12.95.

I got the message in my info section and followed the link but still got stuck in the loop.

Checkout gave me the option to add it to my Sprint bill (at least until I tried to select it) or the usual credit card options. I assume that means they will allow some accounts to bill it. Although I have been with Sprint a few years, our new phones are on a new account. I assume that I couldn't bill the account because this particular account is only a few months old.

 

Yes, it is cool. Thanks again. I don't login into my Sprint account much and I don't really follow the Gnex stuff online since it's my son's phone. I might have missed the offer if I didn't see the post here.

 

What browser are you using?

 

For this particular transaction I used Firefox.

Bill to account is limited to business accounts and maybe some former premier accounts. All accounts use the same checkout so that's why it's presented as an option during checkout.

Got the denied - need to purchase a GNex in order to get the "free" battery. N.B. I just got off of the chat from Sprint.

 

And, second on MacinJosh on the choice of accounts to use for payment - I am a regular Joe cunstomer account, so payment via CC. BTW, this interface for payment's a bit latent, so give it a bit o patience.

 

If it works calling TeleSales, more power to ya...the chat's probably useless anyways, and its not really a bad deal phone+free-battery.

I just checked my order status and it said shipped but I don't have a tracking number yet though. I ordered through telesales without any issues at all.

I got an update saying mine shipped with a tracking number and arrives tomorrow. Too bad I have a 6AM flight to Hotlanta.

I am not gonna lie, after using my nexus with the new battery since tuesday, my evo still owns my nexus when it comes to battery life. I mean its not even close, I am also running custom rom and kernel on the gnex.

I've noticed that battery life is very dependent on what ROM/Kernel you are running. I've gone from 2 days of battery life to where it won't make it through the workday (when I rarely even turn on the phone at work) For the most part, AOSP has given me the best battery life, although CM9 was pretty good at sipping battery once it stabilized.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
