Aw geez!  My Nexus 5 should be arriving today via UPS.  I just called Sprint and they said they were 2 months backordered on the SIM cards!  That's nuts!

 

Anyone have a Sprint SIM card lying around???

When I ordered my sim today, I was told back order was about a week. Sure hope it is not two months. I should have my phone on Monday.

If someone wants to calculate the solar constant across one square foot -- roughly the footprint of a human being -- I propose that challenge.  I am curious to know what is the infrared/visible/ultraviolet "signal" strength in dBm.

Yeah, my degree is in Economics, so...challenge not accepted. :lol:

I called and ordered a SIM January 9th and the order status still hasn't changed.  I was told 2-8 weeks backorder.  Went to a local corporate store a few days ago and they had them in stock.

I wouldn't be too concerned with ordering from customer service. Your best bet is going into Sprint owned stores, especially service and repair locations. Several of us here ordered from Sprint customer service and the orders were cancelled without any notification or warning. Many of us have luck through corporate stores.

I ended up calling 3 stores in my area.  I finally found one 6 miles away.  Shot down there before they closed and got me a SIM.  :tu:

 

Unfortunately, customer care is closed and I can't activate until tomorrow morning.  :angry:

...lol.  My SIM order from November 4th still has absolutely zero updates.

Aw, I really think you could handle it.  Just the supply side economics of solar radiation.  No demand considerations whatsoever.

Wouldn't it depend on if he was a John Maynard Keynes or a Milton Freidman supporter?

Have you guys found an app that does adaptive screen orientation?  I don't want the screen to reorient itself on most of my applications but I would like it to go into landscape mode for pictures and videos.  I know HTC phones do this already, but the screen orientation features of the N5 seem a little more limited.

Speaking of sim card, if one breaks a device and gets a replacement shipped to them, and the new device has a sim card in it, do you return the previous sim card even thought the package says only the device, no battery, sim card sd card accessories? What would one do with the extra sim card?

Keep it? I still have one from my Galaxy S4.

I wish there was something like this as well. Samsung had something like this on their stock camera on the Galaxy S 3.

 

If you don't mind being rooted, I use Xposed framework and GravityBox and add an "auto rotation" button to my quicksettings tiles, so I have a quick way of activating and de-activating it.  Another option is you can try finding a power/switcher widget that has a screen auto rotation switch. I bought one for a buck or two a long time ago when I had the OG EVO called SwitchPro Widget, and it's been on all of my Android devices ever since.

 

It's not as ideal as a per-app screen orientation option, but it's better than having to go deep into the settings menu.

I just ordered a red one. 16GB.  Should be here Monday/Tuesday.  Excited!

 

I've never rooted/ mod a phone.  From what I've read, it only makes sense to root this one.  I'm going to have to do more research this weekend.  The last thing I want to do is break (brick) a brand new phone.

Nexus devices are nearly impossible to brick.

    • 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?
