I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Is anyone noticing a daylight savings time problem on the Nexus 5? Today, I noticed that all of my calendar appointments next week are off by one hour. My date and time settings are set to receive both the time and the time zone from the network. The time on my phone is correct currently so I must presume that it has picked an accurate time zone.

 

If I uncheck to receive the timezone from the network then GMT -6 is what shows as the current time zone and all of my appointments after Sunday are incorrect by an hour. However, if I go into the timezone selection and I manually reselect GMT -6 then all of my appointments are correct. When all of my appointments are correct if I then go back and recheck to receive the timezone from the network then everything after Sunday shifts by an hour incorrectly again. So far I have only tried this on my LTE tower.

Maybe the way the date/time is stored as a number causes it to display oddly when unpacked to a human readable format this close to the time switch. I would just see if the phone does black magic and fixes the dates Sunday morning.

Anyone having problems with the Nexus 5 losing their saved WiFi logins?  All my Wifi info magically appeared on my phone from my other Nexus's backup, which was awesome!

 

But last week, I had none!  And it's already wiped them twice this week... what the heck is going on?  Can I turn my old Galaxy Nexus, get it to back them up to Google, and make them magically push to this phone?  And how do get them to STAY PUT?

The clocks fall back this weekend, its probably registering that in your calendar even though it hasn't happened yet.

One question on the nexus 5, if I want to buy/trade for one and let's say a guy has a T-Mobile/ATT nexus 5 is it easy to swap over to Sprint and vise versa? Thanks

The only ones that don't play nice with sprint are the T-Mobile ones. Any other one is good to go though.

So if I were to get a ATT version I can put it on Sprint fine, but what about pre paid service. Are there any that work fine with the phone, including 4g lte? Thanks, kojitsari

I believe there have been people who have reported using Ting with the n5, as for others I haven't heard anything yet. If you can find out who owns the prepaid carrier you're thinking of, call up the customer support for them (att, Verizon, whoever) and ask if they're allowing n5's.

There is no Att, sprint or tmobile version. There is one version and that is the LG d820.

 

Tmobile and sprint are the only carriers that sell the phone with Google being the other that sells it. Tmobile Nexus 5 imeis are not loaded onto sprints network and thus cannot be activated whereas ones sold by sprint and Google works.

If bought from T-Mobile, switching doesn't work. If bought from Google Play, switching is easy.

Thanks guys, I might pick one up. Is there a way to tell if it was a T-Mobile phone so if I trade my old phone for one? I don't know if I'll use it on Sprint but wouldn't mind having it as a good back up phone if my G2 breaks somehow. Other than that I might use it to test local prepaid services to see how they do in my area.

I don't know if there is a way to know that without asking the person where it was bought.

Would you be doing this face to face? If so I'd say walk into a sprint store and ask them if you could use it on their network. Other than that I'd ask to see a receipt for the phone (that'll tell you where it was purchased).

True, but do I trust them? I'd like to make sure. I'll just do what kojitsari(awesome name) and go into a Sprint store and ask them.

Thanks! So if I understood your situation right, you're swapping a phone you already have for a n5(possibly)? What phone are you trading, if you don't mind me asking?

Galaxy Note 2, with a Zerolemon battery and Defender case. Got tired of it so I got a G2 and love it but I'd love to have a Nexus to play with since I've never had one. Plus I like how the N5 can be used on so many different bands.

      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.

      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....
