Google Nexus 5 by LG Users Thread!

Recommended Posts

I dropped my phone (almost had a panic attack) and visually nothing happened. However, I just picked it up to make a phone call and when I put it against my ear I tapped it on the top of the backplate with my finger and I could hear some plastic rattle sound (which doesn't happen if I tap it on the bottom of the backplate). I'm afraid I broke off something on the inside? Or maybe I'm just paranoid after having dropped it... Could anyone confirm if tapping on the top of the backplate (while near the ear, otherwise can't hear) produces some type of plastic rattle sound?

Exact reason I ordered a case without really knowing what I'm getting. Any case is better than no case. Hope everything is OK with your device. I still haven't taken off the Nexus 5 screen protector that ships on the phone...lol

Got mine activated! 32GB black. Had to try updating the profile a couple times before the data started working. It let me enable all the LTE bands, now to go see if I can find a B41 site in the city.

*#*#debug#*#* enter SPRINT(33284) if prompted

 

Got it, look up. I live in a terrible area for LTE, we are the last place in Northern Illinois to get LTE. I will checkt out TD-LTE when I am in Carol Stream tomorrow. There should be people that can beat me to it....

Can anyone that uses the $30 prepaid for T-Mobile answer a question for me please?

 

How does it work? It lasts 30 days from when you activate it? Or it only counts in use days?

Yes,  blame the messenger and not the source of the incorrect information...  :rolleyes:

 

Lose the sarcasm.  It is poor journalism, bar none, because the writer cited only one, unreliable source.  The writer seemed more concerned with furthering an agenda than confirming correct information.

I politely corrected both authors. My comments were removed. EDIT: They were gone for a while, now one is back. ... Confused!

No comment there just now except the quoted author stroking the quoting author. Seems like some editing occurring. They have no interest in getting the right info out. They just have a preconfigured narrative they want to support. Just makes them look like idiots.

The problem here is they have been given the correct info now, and they are trying to silence them. Because this is more about saying Sprint is bad than reporting info.

I enabled with my MSL number. :D

 

Priority is messed up, only options are 0 or 1...

**** YOU NEED YOUR MSL NUMBER TO EDIT THIS SCREEN ****

Well i guess they managed to mispell "priority" again just like they did with the g2.

I think I hear the ever slightest of a rattle on mine when I do that.

I just read that the 32gb N5 will not be allowed on TEP at Sprint.  What are people doing for insurance? None?

Where did you read this, can you provide the source/link?  This afternoon, Sprint Care, via Chat told me what only the 16GB could get TEP.  This is disappointing to me as I usually carry TEP just for peace of mind.

I was able to activate my 32GB black device using the SIM from my S4.  I put the SIM in and called customer service, gave them my id minus the last digit.  They updated my settings.  I had to go update PRL and then update profile and everything worked great.

30 days, consecutively. After 30 days, you will be disconnected if you don't add another $30 + tax to your account. Even if you don't use it at all.

Not sure if it is true or not but in a pretty good exchange with Sprint's Twitter account, Sprint says that Google shipped the phones quicker than they were prepared for. The Google shipments were supposed to start arriving to customers on the 8th coinciding with Sprint's release and by that time the store would have proper inventory and knowledge of the SIM card procedure. I have no way to know if that is true but it seems entirely plausible given what has happened this week. The date certainly matches the leaked internal memo posted here about activating the unlocked phones from Google Play.

...lol.  I didn't realize it was on the G2 as well, but that obsessive part of me zeroed in on it in the screen shot right away.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
