Moropo Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I dropped my phone (almost had a panic attack) and visually nothing happened. However, I just picked it up to make a phone call and when I put it against my ear I tapped it on the top of the backplate with my finger and I could hear some plastic rattle sound (which doesn't happen if I tap it on the bottom of the backplate). I'm afraid I broke off something on the inside? Or maybe I'm just paranoid after having dropped it... Could anyone confirm if tapping on the top of the backplate (while near the ear, otherwise can't hear) produces some type of plastic rattle sound?

aerxx Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Exact reason I ordered a case without really knowing what I'm getting. Any case is better than no case. Hope everything is OK with your device. I still haven't taken off the Nexus 5 screen protector that ships on the phone...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsynergy Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Got mine activated! 32GB black. Had to try updating the profile a couple times before the data started working. It let me enable all the LTE bands, now to go see if I can find a B41 site in the city.Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in a terrible area for LTE, we are the last place in Northern Illinois to get LTE. I will checkt out TD-LTE when I am in Carol Stream tomorrow.

iansltx Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Waiting on hold with T-Mobile right now to get data straightened out with the 32GB N5 that arrived an hour or so ago. Once that's done, I'll call the nearby Sprint store and get a SIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yes, blame the messenger and not the source of the incorrect information... Lose the sarcasm. It is poor journalism, bar none, because the writer cited only one, unreliable source. The writer seemed more concerned with furthering an agenda than confirming correct information.

S4GRU Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I politely corrected both authors. My comments were removed. EDIT: They were gone for a while, now one is back. ... Confused! No comment there just now except the quoted author stroking the quoting author. Seems like some editing occurring. They have no interest in getting the right info out. They just have a preconfigured narrative they want to support. Just makes them look like idiots.

S4GRU Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yes, blame the messenger and not the source of the incorrect information... The problem here is they have been given the correct info now, and they are trying to silence them. Because this is more about saying Sprint is bad than reporting info.

ericdabbs Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I enabled with my MSL number.

bill875 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I just read that the 32gb N5 will not be allowed on TEP at Sprint. What are people doing for insurance? None? Where did you read this, can you provide the source/link? This afternoon, Sprint Care, via Chat told me what only the 16GB could get TEP. This is disappointing to me as I usually carry TEP just for peace of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turas Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I was able to activate my 32GB black device using the SIM from my S4. I put the SIM in and called customer service, gave them my id minus the last digit. They updated my settings. I had to go update PRL and then update profile and everything worked great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 30 days, you will be disconnected if you don't add another $30 + tax to your account. Even if you don't use it at all.

jeffcarp Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Not sure if it is true or not but in a pretty good exchange with Sprint's Twitter account, Sprint says that Google shipped the phones quicker than they were prepared for. The Google shipments were supposed to start arriving to customers on the 8th coinciding with Sprint's release and by that time the store would have proper inventory and knowledge of the SIM card procedure. I have no way to know if that is true but it seems entirely plausible given what has happened this week. The date certainly matches the leaked internal memo posted here about activating the unlocked phones from Google Play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
