...lol.  I didn't realize it was on the G2 as well, but that obsessive part of me zeroed in on it in the screen shot right away.

 

Let us just say that spelling is not a high "proirity" in the "enginerring" department.

 

:P

BATTERY UPDATE: Well, after 9 hours of moderate usage, I'm at 40%. Not earth shattering. But acceptable. I would probably have been desperately searching for a battery charger about 30 mins ago on my Nexus 4. However, my GN2 would probably be at 65% in similar usage.

 

It will meet my needs. But I won't be bragging about the battery.

I didn't see anyone post this (maybe I missed), but I received my Nexus 5, 32GB and have a new Sprint SIM.  When I went to activate online it seemed to accept number but said to go to chat to complete activation.  The person is helping me complete activation, but says a $36 activation for new line of service will apply.  They understand I am swapping phones and not activating a new line, but insist on the $36.  Perhaps they are misinformed.

Well i guess they managed to mispell "priority" again just like they did with the g2.

Lol. I'm guessing Sprint's either using the same app or using the same source to compile the hidden menu app and just sent it out to Google, LG, and Samsung (Does the Galaxy Note 3's hidden menu also misspell priority or does that menu just not function since it's not a triband device?).

try ##443336772# in your dialer. This works in the optimus g.

Didn't work in my phone. Probably because the ATT SIM is in it right now.

try using *#*#443336772#*#* its a nexus.

No, I did. Believe me. I know Nexus dialer codes need the star pound. ;)

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.

 

The comments are now starting to appear following the articles, and both authors are getting almost universally pilloried for their shoddy reporting.  Serves them right.

Not a big deal to me.  I just find it funny that no one went back and did a review to ensure the spelling was correct.  As long as I can change the LTE "proirity"...haha I dont care how they spell it.

How did you get your MSL? My normal go-to root app MSL Reader doesn't seem to work.

Yeah, msl reader can only be used on htc devices.

I'm activated!

 

I got a SIM from a local corp store. Called (888) 211-4727 to activate. Gave her the IMEI (minus the last digit) and the ICC ID. Up and running in 10 mins.

 

Let me know if you guys need help.

Did they charge an activation fee?

no dice.

I've had mixed results with sprint reps as far as getting the msl.

 

Some dialer codes work on some devices only, and in some case depend on which carrier's SIM one has in the phone.

 

However when on a sprint and swapping devices (through online without a rep), sprint has always sent me the msl of my newly swapped phone.  Maybe swapping back to an old phone then swapping back to the nexus 5 would get you the msl.

 

here's a screenshot of what sprint sends (the activation code being the msl).

Has anyone been able to get LTE on a 32GB Black? 

 

I got it activated no problem, but have been in known LTE areas where my EVO 4GLTE would pick up strong LTE quickly and have not gotten anything on the N5. After a reboot or airplane toggle, the LTE logo flashes on the signal bars and then the phone goes back down to eHRPD. Not sure if this is a graphical glitch or if it is having trouble authenticating ?

 

More MEID issues? Issues with my SIM? Any ideas?

    • 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?
