My account is finally recognizing my 32GB Nexus 5 (activated around early December). Always just showed a grey image of a cell phone

 

 

Just looked at my account and it is now recognizing mine too....

 

 

Mine doesn't   :'(

 

I haven't been able to switch devices ever since I added the N5. Says I have to call or visit a store, and I don't feel like doing that. Or add services, or anything.

 

Do you guys have white or black?

still doesnt recognize my 16 Gig Nexus.  Strange.

 

Does anyone else have problems with Google Voice Voicemail?  In many cases it does not download the message at all until I screw around with it.  At least it gets notification of one but I typically now have to delete the message, then load the trash folder where this forces the message to download and then I mark it to undelete back to my inbox where I can listen to it and take action.  Pressing "refresh" or the little refresh icon at the bottom right of the inbox does nothing.  I can let the notifications it for several hours and it still will not download on its own.

It recognizes mine now too even through it is currently not active on my line it actually shows up on my previously activated devices and proceeding through the activation it appears it actually gets to the point where I could activate it online when before I had to call or chat to swap it. I also have the 32GB black version although the site does seem to think it is the white one.

AT&T doesn't recognize my Nexus 5.  Bastards!  But obviously Verizon does, as they block me from their network!!

Was able to make service changes on mine and now it finally recognizes it.  I don't know why in the world I had $10/mo international texting added but I made sure to remove it.  :tu:  :ninja:

Still not supported  :dep:

Give it a week, perhaps the changes are slowly propagating through their systems.  Some here reportedly could see it beginning last week, mine didn't refresh until today.   It all works out in the end though  :rolleyes:

Took my SIM card out today next to a WiMax protection site. I wasn't expecting much but wanted to see. It did confirm that Verizon has their AWS LTE widespread here though.

If I go into LTE only mode, I can get it to stop on a Verizon Band 4 channel. Even with an AT&T SIM installed. If I switch to a VZW SIM and APN, it will show me bars on my N5. But it will never authenticate.

As users gave reported the nexus showing up on Sprint site as the proper model. I logged in to check and can now switch between my nexus 5 and HTC one max without contacting support... It seems I didn't press activate but it at no point made mention of chat or calling in up to the confirmation page as I had done last week... That makes me happy!

The 32gb Black Nexus 5, it shows up as a Nexus 5 with picture and everything. Doesn't state capacity on the activation screen; as I am not switching back till post spark update! So I don't know if it shows the capacity of the model as well....

Grrr... seems everyone who's account now shows their phone has a Black Nexus 32GB. I have a White one. Sprint hates me. LOL

Interesting! By any chance, have you ever happened to notice if SignalCheck shows anything? I'm guessing if you have bars, it should.. I haven't tried grabbing a VZW SIM because I figured it wouldn't work at all, but maybe I should find one.

Man... way to be racist Sprint!

 

Unless it can shoot lights out from 3, Sprint does not recruit small white phones.

    • I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.
    • Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.
    • My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.
    • https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
