Sprint appears to be giving free extended batteries to new and existing Galaxy Nexus users on 8/19. http://phandroid.com...ustomers-deals/

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.

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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Looks like another T-Mobile 5G bump happened over the past week and a half, maybe less: n41 carriers are now 90+100 MHz, up from 80+100 (which in turn is up from 40+100 back in early March). This is on top of the new n25 carrier recently. As part of this, it looks like T-Mobile is starting to prefer n25+n41 2CA even when pushing data, rather than having higher levels of CA that would hit higher peak speeds; at least indoors I need to force n41-only if I want to see the full 190 MHz there. To be fair the speeds are plenty quick with that amount of spectrum, and I'm sure they're load balancing, and my guess is this is a little better for battery life? With this expansion, they're now at 10x10+10x10 n25, 15x15 n71, 100+90 n41, for a total of 260 MHz (including FD uplink) of deployed NR here, up from 250 MHz a week ago, 230 MHz two weeks ago, and 190 MHz six months ago. VZW is at 140 MHz minus mmW, 170 if you count n2 DSS. AT&T is at 150 MHz (80+40 n77, 15x15 n5), 210 MHz I think if you count n2 and n66 DSS (guessing they're still running those). With this level of spectrum they should be able to continue offering home internet wherever. Guessing this is the last upgrade they can make before they need to throw new equipment on sites for C-Band. At this rate I figure that'll happen next year on a few dozen high-traffic sites.

      My wife has a Pixel 8 Pro and has no complaints. I have an S22U and I get slightly better signal than her but 99.9% of the time, its not noticeable.

      My favorite is the nexus 6.  Love the form factor also.

      Well it's the newest Pixel, so I'm guessing at least a few of us are out there, myself included! I have had almost every Google phone since the Nexus 4. The Nexus 5 might be my all-time favorite for what it was at the time, but I love my Pixel 8. No real drawbacks for me, but I can't give a personal comparison to the S22.
