LTE scans enabled in all GEOs on that PRL and 800smr enabled on a scan first basis same priority in the majority of the areas.

 

LTE scans enabled for all three bands with that PRL?

 

My SIM won't be here until tomorrow.. Can someone tell me if there's an option to force verizon roaming in the settings?

I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

How do you add the Debug and Testing shortcuts?

I use an app called QuickShortcutMaker. If it is similar to the Galaxy Nexus just open up the app and search for the word hidden and a list of hidden menus will pop up. Select which one you want. It will give you an option to try it first to make sure it works and is the right menu. You can then rename it to whatever you want.

Had a customer come into my work today with a Nexus 5, I can't wait till I get mine. So all I have to do is buy a Sim card from my work and activate the phone through chat and it should work now? I ordered the 32gb model and I have a stack of Sims at my work and the one I'm using in my S4. The Sim is $3.65 with my discount.

Ahhh lets get some signal strength comparisons up! That's where the magic is at!

 

I'm going to see if I can scrounge up the cash to get one of these bad boys. Would like a good RF performer to replace my EVO LTE.

AT&T vs Sprint in my house.

I finally got mine activated through chat and seem to have no problems connecting to LTE.  I have not been out and about so I will report on that tomorrow.  I have not looked at the engineering screens because I spent some hours trying to unlock the bootloader without success.  I can't install the google USB drivers for some reason.  Anyone else have this problem?

You don't need to pay for a sim. The sim is free from Sprint.

I will just buy one. It will cost that much in gas to drive to get one I work all the time so I can get one there.

The drivers are included in the android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I know I went through all of that.  Apparently the N5 drivers are not included right now, I found some others who were having the same problem.  I went into device manager and tried updating manually and windows said nope.

For the brief moment LTE worked for me, it said the same thing. I think it has something to do with the lack of SVLTE support.

Try installing them without debugging mode on and vice versa. Also, make sure it's connected as a media device and not camera.

Same for me. It switches back and forth very quickly before and after calls.

Everyone else able to unlock their bootloaders?

When I plug in USB to my laptop, it does not ask me for my computer's RSA key.  I've tried all sorts of things including manually deleting adb_key, adb kill-server, plugging and unplugging countless times.  I think the problem is the USB driver, device manager says I have no drivers installed for Nexus 5.

I had that problem earlier this afternoon.  But once I opened a Terminal window, navigated to the appropriate directory, and typed a valid command, I was then prompted for the RSA key.

By terminal window do you just mean the command prompt?

Thanks.  I tried this out on my OG Photon and it works great.  Looking forward to doing the same when I get my LG G2.

I ordered two sims and a black 32gb nexus 5. The shipping says it will leave in 2-3 weeks =[ 

 

Sim won't ship until maybe 8th...

 

I am jealous of everyone. I was on a flight to Chicago when Google announced the phone! I wish sales went live on Friday instead!

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
