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

My n5 died yesterday. Worked fine on the way home had a full charge, next time I go to look at it, it was dead, won't power up at all, no matter how long I press any combination of keys.

 

No boot screen, no vibration, no nothing, dead dead dead. :(

I'll give you fifty bucks for your totally dead n5 this minute!

eh, well if I was out of warranty window, I'd consider it.

 

but then again, if I was out of warranty I would at least attempt to replace the battery first before selling it.

If you bought it from the play store you can get a refurbished one for free.

Does anyone's n5 holds on to band 41 even at -125db shouldn't it switch to band 25 and 26? But instead of switching to band 25 it drops to 3g. This triband thing seems like there still testing it.

Are you on the newest radio? I haven't noticed that issue.

Band 41 has better edge of cell performance, so it's possible to use down to -130dBm. That is why Spark devices hold on to it down to that level. Why you are dropping to 3G from there, I don't know. Either you don't have a good B25/26 signal, or the B41 site you're connected to hasn't been properly configured to hand off to other bands.

Quick question?

How is the cell radio (reception?) compared to the iPhone 5s?

Loads better, like 10-15dbm better. The n5 is still the best rf performer on the market with the g3 coming close.

in my experience, while nexus 5 does excel on band 25, my m8 vastly outclasses my nexus 5 on usability on all bands.

 

Yeah the N5 isn't all that great in RF anymore.  Pretty average for LTE if you ask me.  My G2 keeps up with it now and is maybe even a little better.

 

The N5 is great though at keeping a very usable 3G signal.  That is where it completely smokes my G2.

Did anyone get the Hangout update?  Im not sure about it.

Yep.  No problem.  I finally received the final integration update today.  I've been using Hangouts for my text and voice calls for quite awhile so far but now the transition is complete.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/09/10/hangouts-2-3-update-brings-remaining-google-voice-integration-big-visual-overhaul-apk-download/

used apk downloaded from above and downloaded hangouts dialer from playstore

wifi calling appears to work well

in order to receive wifi calls there is box to check in settings plus

in google voice settings [web page] I had to stop google from forwarding my google # to my phone [uncheck nexus 5]

this keeps google from forwarding the call twice and keeps the native dialer blocking the hangouts dialer

I don't think it can text over wifi yet, but hopefully it will before they get rid of the google voice app

I'm on wifi 95% of the time so this should lower my $12 Ting bill to $9 on a normal month.

Has anyone figured out a way to change between google voice or carrier number when fully integrated for WiFi SMS? It seems pretty random which of my threads are sprint and which are google voice.

Unless you're funny integrated. Then yes on both accounts.

 

I am funny incarnate.  Does that count?

Under settings\SMS there is an option to select between carrier number, google voice number and smart reply mode. Sounds like you are in smart reply mode. Its not very convenient, they need the option on the chat screen..

      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....
