I have no idea what even cosplay is. I can he pretty naive. I asked my son, and he didn't even know. But he was raised by me. So there you go.

It is basically when people dress up as their favorite characters from fiction anime, video games, movies, etc. Girls tend to make modifications to make the costume a lot more sexy than the original. Hence the name cosplay costume play.

Glad someone from DFW is able to share their LTE experience with this phone.  I was beginning to worry a bit.  I ordered mine on 11/7 and it says I will get it on 12/3, but hopefully it will be sooner.  Can't wait!!!

Well, Sprint/Google have exactly 12 more days for me to see some type of fix or time-line for a fix with this LTE problem. I just took a step backwards from my Evo LTE, that at least got some LTE service. Now I have none.

I bet you didn't think that was possible ;)

Yep, didn't expect that. It was a great phone besides the awful reception issues. Now I've got another great phone that supposedly has a good good signal strength but I'm in a market that's causing an issue with triband.

That seems like a great recipe to alienate 50% of the population from becoming members/donators to this outstanding website.   :lol:

 

About 90 percent of the population does not care to know when, where, why, how -- they just blindly want it to work.  So, our potential audience is limited to roughly the 10 percent that actually seek to understand wireless networks and make informed decisions.  And of that 10 percent, seemingly 90 percent are male.  Well, do the math...

Now, your son is going to go out into the world and not know what to do because you failed to teach him about the birds, the bees, and cosplay.

 

:P

So out of those of us having LTE connectivity issues, has anyone contacted Sprint? What are they saying?

I've been told by chat that there are no known issues with the network, and they couldn't troubleshoot the phone. Then told to go to a Sprint repair store for further assistance.

I just had a chat with Sprint for my area, they are going to have Network Techs look at my issue.

That's good news. Every time they say "no known issues" I want to say ”that's why I'm letting you know ”

Just tried my local Best Buy and they refused to price match Google Play for the Nexus 5.  What a silly company decision.  I guess I'll have to buy mine thru the Play Store after all.

 

I would have bought it online right in front of the associate.

I'm sure this has been addressed many times over, but for those who are joining and jumping to the end of the thread... I was able to order a SIM card for the Nexus quick and easy at the following link:

http://sprintworldwide.custhelp.com/app/chat/chat_launch

Told them I needed a SIM for the Nexus and they said they will have it ship on the 11th.  Took two minutes with no hassle.

I ordered my SIM card from echat on Thursday right after I bought my Nexus 5 it from Google Play store.  It was quick and painless, but even today I still have yet to see a tracking #.  Let me know if you get a tracking #, as I might have to get back onto echat and see where my order stands.

I have contacted them numerous times. Finally got someone to open up a ticket. I gave them the site location that my nexus refuses to connect to.

Will do.  They actually said that SIMs were on backorder and were going to be shipping on the 11th.  That could by why you haven't gotten one yet.

Got the phone yesterday from Sprint, its great and luckily I don't have any issues with LTE connectivity whatsoever. Works great out of the box. My only gripe its with the voicemail. Receive a call, let it go to voicemail and it won't show any voicemail notification. Have to dial 1 to go into voicemail to check if I have a voicemail. Can't do Google Voice, because it doesn't work in Puerto Rico. My last Android phone (Gingerbread 2.3) at least I received a visual notification that I had voicemail. Now nada. Besides Google Voice, anyone receives a voicemail notificaction? Any ideas?

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
