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.

You might want to check swappa or similar places and see if you could sell it for enough to buy a n5 outright. I get the note 2 is a year old model but it might be worth a quick check.

The n5 might surprise you, I honestly think the sole reason I'd have gotten the g2 would've been the bigger battery. It always lasts me 14-16 hours with about 30-36% screen time.

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

% isn't really that important when it comes to screen use and battery.  The important number is the actual time in use.  My screen battery use percentage is always between about 25-30%, but sometimes its around 5 hours usage and sometimes its about 1.  It can be the difference between an 8 hour battery life and 20 hour.

Mines usually between 3 hours and 45 minutes and 4 and a half hours.

It wouldn't surprise me if they include it at the same time they push out the update for the battery (and supposedly a camera update too). Not that I have had issues with either of those things.

Ahh, interesting!  I had that process issue only once so far and it happened just the other day.  Strange!  Reminded me of my Galaxy Nexus days with a warm phone and no battery...  :o

 

Rebooted my phone and it was back to normal.  Haven't seen it re-occur since.

So my phone needed a reboot for the clock to show the correct time. I also needed a damn good excuse why I hadn't showered, eaten breakfast, or arrived to work on time today... Not thrilled. Anyone with a second handset on sprint notice a delay in updating the time or was this device specific?

I had to reboot mine before it updated the time as well.

Mine reset on its own at 1am.

Not gonna lie. I played with the nexus 5 the other day. A friend came over with one on magenta flavored network. Just to verify your questions, the service sucked lol. Even though I am in a VERY GOOD area. Even when I went outside it wasn't any better.

 

Anyhow, I loved that phone. Liked the screen size, like the sensitivity, responsiveness, and the little vibration you get when touching the screen lol, and just the overall feel of the phone.

 

If I re-converted back to android... The nexus would win it for me.

I swapped from a iPhone 5 when I switched from att to sprint. The futile future of jail breaking was what convinced me...I have an intense dislike for stock iOS but the actual phones used to be a level of quality above the rest that I appreciated. Gotta say I love my n5 way more than my iPhone 5. I kinda wish there was a SD card slot but hey I'm just using a OTG cable with a 64gb flash drive.

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 used my N5 on Straight Talk (AT&T) for a month while I waited for a Sprint SIM, LTE included.

I just started taking advantage of cloud-based storage and I'm liking it far more than I expected. Seems like it can replace whatever you would store on an SD card. My 2 laptops, N5, and wife's iPhone 5s all sync to the same account. The phones use Titanium Backup and auto-upload once a week in the middle of the night, and the laptops are able to access the same documents and app source code (with the bonus of them now being backed up) without any effort on my part.

 

I went with box.com because I took advantage of a 50GB free for life promo, but Dropbox and others probably offer similar functionality. Various promos seem to pop up often.

I have a drop box with 150gbs(I think) that I got for free. I just prefer keeping movies, T.V. shows, and the like on a physical drive. It makes it easy to use in places where I won't be able to download what I want to watch(usually inside of buildings waiting on the different females in my life to do something xD).

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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?
