Google Nexus 5 by LG Users Thread!

Recommended Posts

I am not sure what you are viewing, on Google Play it is showing "Carriers: T-Mobile, Sprint"

 

This is on the phone, not Google Play.

 

32GB Black Activated. But not getting any LTE yet in known LTE areas even after airplane mode toggle and reboot.

 

I was told "data services may take 2 hours to activate" Does this have to do with LTE? 3G is authenticating fine.

I didn't see anything posted about this... But, has anyone ordered their Nexus 5 through Sprint? If so, have you had any communications saying that it has shipped or shipping? Thank you in advance for any helpful info on this subject...

Ordered from Sprint. Still waiting on shipping info.

Hey guys I went to a sprint store today asking for a micro Sim for my n5 but they're saying it uses a special micro Sim that they don't have yet. Is this true, or can it use any old micro Sim (like one for the iPad)... They say they have 4 different types in stock

I am officially up and running by swapping my HTC one sim into the Nexus 5. If you did what I did they have to detach your previous device from the account or else it wont take... But it does work if you are coming from an S4 or HTC One device with swappable sims, My signal is better than the HTC one which i had continued issues with from from glance from the Signal Check PRO screen

Hey was wondering if the first post in this thread should be edited with step by step instructions on how to activate a Google play N5. This is probably being visited by new comers everyday and a little hard to read the whole post. Or maybe a new wall post.

It appears that the Nexus 5 is now available for pre-order from Sprint.  I can't say that I am not a little disappointed (again.) :

 

Disappointment #1 : There is only a 16GB variety being offered for Sprint (Why do we keep getting  hamstrung?)

 

Disappointment # 2 : The price is more expensive than buying the device straight from Google.  This is really no surprise, It appears that Sprint has been charging at least $50 more per device than other carrier for a similar model.  Sprint's price is $449.99 for a 16GB version and no 32GB version.  Google sells the 16GB version for $349.99 and the 32GB for $399.99.

 

(possible) Disappointment #3 : Is it only Single Band LTE?  

 

Do we have any Sprint insiders that can give us an idea of what the thought process behind these choices may be?  I know we have not done an Band/Device breakdown on the Nexus 5 for Sprint yet, but maybe AJ will want to create one.

 

 

I am haggling a CSR right now to get some info.

Should be able to do voice and LTE simultaneously...

 

Nope.  No SVLTE.

I was a 2-3 weeker when I ordered, yet it is arriving today.  That's over two weeks early.  Hopefully that will be true for everyone else.

When did you order yours?  I ordered mine at 11:30pm, so I was just curious to when you ordered yours, and when yours came (I got my time of the emailed receipt)

Umm... Sprint Spark device...

We've known that tri-band aka Spark devices would not have SVDO or SVLTE for quite some time. No surprises there. 

 

Haven't been following the tri-band news a closely as I should have been. Not like its a huge deal. Just a change from my GS3.

    • 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?
