Jeffrey_J Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Looks like the Red Nexus 5 is coming. Nice to see a bit more detailed information about acquiring a proper Sim card or UICC as they refer to it. http://m.androidcentral.com/nexus-5-appears-slated-feb-4 We may get the Spark OTA update before or around Feb 4th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley707 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 We may get the Spark OTA update before or around Feb 4th. Are you saying this, simply because a new revision of the phone is coming out? I do not think the red Nexus 5 is going to have any correlation to the Spark update. It'd be nice, but I thought you had another / inside source... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkoellerwx Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Because of the red Nexus 5. What brings you to that conclusion? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgcrockett Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What brings you to that conclusion? Yeah, I don't get it either lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey_J Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What brings you to that conclusion? A new Nexus what batter time to have a update and also what has been said in the pass about the Nexus 5 getting the update about 2 weeks after the G2 did.

TheCUJuan Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 So as I posted a couple of days ago I switched from iPhone to the N5 and today I took the train to Santa Fe and was able to use the phone in places where I knew the iPhone struggled. What a difference! The reception was much clearer and was present in many places where the iPhone either had no reception or really struggled. Overall I'm pretty happy so far. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 A new Nexus what batter time to have a update and also what has been said in the pass about the Nexus 5 getting the update about 2 weeks after the G2 did. I don't think a new Nexus color would at all be related to a software update, especially since it'll have to go out to all carriers. However, if you had just said its two weeks after the G2 update, that would have made more sense. Not that anyone has any proof of that either, as much as I'd like it to be true. :/ Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Yeah on occasion. I don't particularly care to talk on the phone so part of me usually hopes it just won't connect. Needless to say it doesn't bother me much.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Only when connected to LTE, at least for me. It is almost like the phone / network is having issues swapping over to 1x or 1x800 from LTE to place the call.

TheCUJuan Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 So I understand that on android you can set up more than one user account and have one for guests etc. I can't seem to find that on this phone. Is that feature still around? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejeep Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Anyone noticing increased incidents of incoming calls never making it to the Nexus 5 on LTE, despite having a strong signal? Three days in a row, my wife has come home from work and accused me of bouncing her to voicemail when she tried calling on her way home.. but my phone never rang (I swear!). It was sitting on a table untouched where I always have a solid -85 dB band 25 connection. She said that one of the times it wasn't my normal voicemail (Google Voice) recording either, it was the Sprint recording spelling out my phone number. Weird. I was going to call Sprint, then I realized I'd rather have an excuse as to why I didn't answer a phone call.. Just curious if others have run into this often with the N5, or if it's more likely a network thing. I had it happen a few times when I first got the phone in November, but AFAIK, it hadn't happened since. -Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes disabling it and enabling helps as well. I get accused of the same thing on a regular basis, but I can deal with it cause I can at least see the missed call through the Gvoice app. Its a love/hate relationship with Gvoice, but the pros outweigh the con's for me, I've just learn to deal with its con's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dave Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I had that issue constantly with GV on my G2. But lately though, I've had a few instances of missed calls and delayed texts despite having a strong LTE signal and being in places that I know haven't had any CSFB issues at all. It's only been recent and I've had issues with hard handoffs to EVDO instead of eHRPD. I have seen Ericsson trucks driving around town here a lot the last few days. I am betting that some upgrades are behind this behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having to make test calls from our phone system to my cell and it happened to me. I immediately dialed my number again and it came through. I did get my GV mailbox when the call did not come through. My dad tried calling me the other day and it never came through as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpenceSouth Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yeah it happens to me occasionally BUT it doesn't happen any more than it did when I had my EVO LTE. Not having calls come through isn't a new development for me at least.I might just notice it more because we are all looking at CSFB for our issues lol.

david279 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I got a email this morning from Google saying that integration had been disable for some unknown reason. First time ever seeing this and I've been with Google voice since the beginning. Had to go activate it online again.
