My account is finally recognizing my 32GB Nexus 5 (activated around early December). Always just showed a grey image of a cell phone

 

 

Just looked at my account and it is now recognizing mine too....

 

 

Mine doesn't   :'(

 

I haven't been able to switch devices ever since I added the N5. Says I have to call or visit a store, and I don't feel like doing that. Or add services, or anything.

 

Do you guys have white or black?

still doesnt recognize my 16 Gig Nexus.  Strange.

 

Does anyone else have problems with Google Voice Voicemail?  In many cases it does not download the message at all until I screw around with it.  At least it gets notification of one but I typically now have to delete the message, then load the trash folder where this forces the message to download and then I mark it to undelete back to my inbox where I can listen to it and take action.  Pressing "refresh" or the little refresh icon at the bottom right of the inbox does nothing.  I can let the notifications it for several hours and it still will not download on its own.

It recognizes mine now too even through it is currently not active on my line it actually shows up on my previously activated devices and proceeding through the activation it appears it actually gets to the point where I could activate it online when before I had to call or chat to swap it. I also have the 32GB black version although the site does seem to think it is the white one.

AT&T doesn't recognize my Nexus 5.  Bastards!  But obviously Verizon does, as they block me from their network!!

Was able to make service changes on mine and now it finally recognizes it.  I don't know why in the world I had $10/mo international texting added but I made sure to remove it.  :tu:  :ninja:

Still not supported  :dep:

Give it a week, perhaps the changes are slowly propagating through their systems.  Some here reportedly could see it beginning last week, mine didn't refresh until today.   It all works out in the end though  :rolleyes:

Took my SIM card out today next to a WiMax protection site. I wasn't expecting much but wanted to see. It did confirm that Verizon has their AWS LTE widespread here though.

If I go into LTE only mode, I can get it to stop on a Verizon Band 4 channel. Even with an AT&T SIM installed. If I switch to a VZW SIM and APN, it will show me bars on my N5. But it will never authenticate.

As users gave reported the nexus showing up on Sprint site as the proper model. I logged in to check and can now switch between my nexus 5 and HTC one max without contacting support... It seems I didn't press activate but it at no point made mention of chat or calling in up to the confirmation page as I had done last week... That makes me happy!

The 32gb Black Nexus 5, it shows up as a Nexus 5 with picture and everything. Doesn't state capacity on the activation screen; as I am not switching back till post spark update! So I don't know if it shows the capacity of the model as well....

Grrr... seems everyone who's account now shows their phone has a Black Nexus 32GB. I have a White one. Sprint hates me. LOL

Interesting! By any chance, have you ever happened to notice if SignalCheck shows anything? I'm guessing if you have bars, it should.. I haven't tried grabbing a VZW SIM because I figured it wouldn't work at all, but maybe I should find one.

Man... way to be racist Sprint!

 

Unless it can shoot lights out from 3, Sprint does not recruit small white phones.

    • 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?
