HTCandroid Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 does it match the yellow one still? Or has the yellow tint gone away? -Luis more matched the yellowish one, but i didnt do much comparisons. A littler later I'll compare it to my htc one and see how the color differs.

Guest kamiller42 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Anyone know how to get rid of the persistent voicemail notification? I am using GV/Sprint integration and have no need for the VM notif from Sprint. (The GV VM notification works fine.) The Sprint notification always says "New voicemail (2)." I have stopped the dialer process and trying clearing its data, but the notification always comes back. It has also disappeared for a little while when I upgraded to Android 4.4.1 and 4.4.2. I've heard of only 2 solutons to this problem: 1) Call Sprint and tell them to disable the phone #'s VM. 2) Modify some system files. Are there any other solutions?

WiWavelength Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Anyone know how to get rid of the persistent voicemail notification? Call your Sprint voicemail and clear out all "new" messages. Otherwise, deal with the persistent notification. It is just an icon, not a problem. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamjamessimon Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 There's a setting in the Google voice app to show VM notifications in call log... Turn it off. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Yep, this is an important setting. Turn it off if you want to be be notified of voicemails, otherwise you get none.

Guest kamiller42 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have cleared my voicemail box. The notification persists. I want to keep the GV VM notification because a) it's accurate (I actually have VM waiting.), it integrates into the Android dialer nicely. The Sprint VM indicator never goes away, even when VM box is empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamjamessimon Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 If you do what I suggested I promise a notification will stay appear in the status bar. I had all sorts of issues with the call log sprint VM indicator repeatedly notifying of deleted VMs and stuff. If you use Google voice then use it. Otherwise things get messy. So I would strongly urge trying my suggestion having someone call and leave a VM and then decide if it is an acceptable solution.

TheForce627 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Was curious as to how well the lte radio is compared to 3g and I'm very impressed. I'm out in the boonies today and This is my lte signal and 3g signal in the same place https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ptxqdgpt8pp5kf/Screenshot_2013-12-21-18-34-50.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/q9ufyi9cckkenx9/Screenshot_2013-12-21-18-31-22.png Nice to be able to hold LTE when my 3g signal is so low. Also my sisters iPhone is parked on 3g while I'm enjoying LTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCandroid Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Thank you!!! -Luis Okay, so I compared my HTC One with the Nexus 5 screens and they are pretty much identical minus the status bar being different and the on screen home/back/recent apps. P.S. picture was taken with my nexus 10, not the best with lighting focus. Both displays were set at the highest brightness levels. Hope this helps. I can send an email of the picture. The upload isn't that clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle_4thousand Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Ok guys I finally got my Nexus 5 in the mail today and I activated it.. The problem I am having now is that Sprint is not giving me my MSL number so I can turn on bands 26 and 41. They said that they can't release the info for lines still under contract, even if I did buy the phone outright. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just got a bad rep on the phone. Start up an online chat, tell them you messed up the phone, had to factory reset it, and now it's asking for some "msl" code. They'll give it to you. If not, keep trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle_4thousand Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Thanks guys, I actually ended up rooting it and using the catlog method that I found back on page 83. Plus I was planning on rooting it anyway so I hit two birds with one stone here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimummind Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Loving mine N5 even more, especially after the 4.4.2 update. The camera quality really improved and the System volume is finally useable. And with Xposed + the modules, I got almost the same experience as my S4 (except not using Hololauncher on the N5). And it's quite nice having both Sprint & T-Mobile at the same time b/c sometimes when I get shetty Sprint 3G, I'm able to fall back on fast T-Mobile 4G LTE and vice versa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufergus Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Speaking of swapping sim cards, I learned a few things recently. If you are trying to activate a new domestic prepaid sim card, make sure your phone is in global mode before putting in the new sim. It needs to be active on the gsm bands for the initial programming to take place. It took me a while to activate an H2O wireless sim card because mine was set on LTE. Without the global setting, it wasn't receiving the initial programming and the sim card wouldn't activate. I just activated a PTEL prepaid last night, set it to global mode, and it activated in a matter of seconds. On a side note, anyone know how many times this little sim drawer can be popped out and not start falling out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dave Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 On a side note, anyone know how many times this little sim drawer can be popped out and not start falling out? I noticed in a comparison review, the newer revision of the N5 improved the SIM tray so that it sits flusher with the bezel and is less prone to rattling around. I wonder if Google or LG realized a weakness with it and needed to address it due to an issue with it possibly falling out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_4thousand Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 So how is everyone's luck in connecting to band 41? I know for a fact there is an active band 41 tower that I can see out my window (and confirmed on sprint's spark coverage maps) and my Nexus 5 won't connect to it. I set the band 41 as priority 1, 26 as 2, and 25 as 3. Is there something else I may be missing? or might it be the tower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
