I do. I still have it I just have two phones now. I got this one to see what all the fuss was about the radio being so much better than the G2 and I'm curious to see T-Mobile coverage around here too. How to I get the $30 100 min, 5gb plan on T-Mobile?

You can order a SIM card from T-Mobile on line. They are sometimes free or may cost $1. They come with $2 of credit on them. You use the credit on the card to call T-Mobile can complete the activation and pay your prepaid service. The SIM comes with activation instructions. Basically you go to www.T-Mobile.com/PrepaidActivation. You have to enter an activation code, SIM SN, phone SN/IMEI, etc.  After this you will get the option to pick your plan.  It is only at this time that you will finally see the $30 plan listed.  It is tricky to find so you"ll have to scroll around to find it. You can also call an agent at 1 877 778 2107.  T-Mobile doesn't advertise the $30 plan so you have to be aware of it to get it.

 

 

Good luck!

Can I get a new number too?

Typically, I find this to be the case when connected to WiFi, it doesn't refresh the LTE signal as quickly..

Yeah I found it weird as I have an airave

Is that a separate app that's showing your transfer speeds.

Has anyone been having battery drain issues as of late? In the past two days, the phone keeps draining when it's idle. I've noticed the biggest culprit is Android OS. Yesterday I had only SOT of 42 minutes, but the battery was at 52% when I left work at 3. Today it's gone from 100% to 80% with SOT of only 16 minutes.

 

I've tried uninstalling any strange applications, but the problem seems to be happening.

 

Any thoughts?

The new hangouts KILLS my battery. I don't know if that's your problem but I would check.

I've been seeing the same thing with Hangouts.

 

There's another minor Hangouts update out which may address this.

There is also an xposed module to make that show in the status bar on the right.

Have you noticed any negative battery affects of this module?  I've been thinking about installing it...

Gravity box has a speed meter option also. I used it all the time before I reverted back to stock in update anticipation. Now I'm wary to start tweaking again in case the update does get randomly pushed out soon lol. It was great, and I didn't notice any battery drain. There are options for download, up and download. It also could be set to show up all the time or only when there is traffic.

Thanks for the note. I have gravity box installed already. I'll give it a go.

Im waiting on my replacement n5.  But my s4 got hangouts update yesterday its 2.1.1.00.  My s4 (single band lte) doesn't have the constant data drops that n5 has and its 4.4.2 also.  Maybe my nexus was more messed up than just screen.

So I just got back on this thread and have put my phone into Safe Mode to see if it's anything from a third party app.

 

The battery today is even worse than yesterday, one little phone call and 12 minutes of SOT, and the battery is down to 65%. It's not even noon yet. This is killing me slowly. Thankfully I have a cable at work to charge the phone through the computer. But still, w/e the issue is, it's bothering the hell out of me.

 

I'll post an update if I notice anything.

P.S. Coincidentally Hangouts got updated as soon as this happened. Three days in a row.

Anyone using the delta page notification chrome extension for the factory images page. It has alerted me like 4-5 times, but I haven't seen any changes. The extension seems to indicate the only changes are within the header...

I actually ended up removing that extension.  It went off A LOT and I never could actually see any notifiable changes that occurred.

Ditto. Same for the Sprint update page. There must be something like small sitewide CSS-ish edits on each that is triggering it. I suppose I'll catch wind of it on a forum or Twitter before I'll be at me desk anyway.. just really would like to see the Spark update soon! Been on .15 for a couple of weeks and haven't seen any B41 yet. I'm thinking positive and assuming its my phone, not a lack of upgrades around here.. ;)

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
