Does charging with the screen on seem really slow for anyone else, or is it my funky USB cable?

I don't charge like that, but it would make sense. You're losing half of the power that is coming in to run the screen...

[themuffinman]

I have never noticed this before on previous devices but I am currently connected to wifi and lte at the same time.  

[zippychance]

Was it noted if the charger that comes in the box is quick charge 2.0 compatible? And has anyone timed their charges to see how long it takes with the included charger and a car charger?

When connected to 1x does it change the signal icon to 1x like on the nexus s 4g or stay 3g icon like the galaxy nexus?

Just noticed that there is a tracking number on my sprint pre-order status page.    No email yet. 

 

For reference I ordered Early on Nov 2nd. Black model.

Slower is one thing, and I used to that. This is to the tune of 1% every 10 minutes.

No icon for me, just bars.

Damn, thats slow, try without the screen on and see what happens. Are you using the supplied LG charger?

I have been l lurking on this forum because I see a bunch of you are having some of the same issues with LTE connection that I'm having. Areas where my Note 2 would connect with no problem, my Nexus 5 hangs on EVDO or nothing. Profile updates don't help, restarts don't help, and I've had Sprint redo the data provisioning twice. The strange thing is that a profile update on WiFi at home connects me to LTE, but this one tower by my work seems to mess everything up. Forcing LTE makes it zip Right along

I really think Sprint doesn't have a proper PRL for this phone, but thats just my opinion.

When I forced 1x yesterday in settings I got an actual 1x icon.

He was talking about data, my bad.

Hopefully with the official Sprint release tomorrow something gets fixed. 

[GregSmoov]

Those of us that cannot even connect to LTE are jealous 

That's kind of a shocker.

I would think NV has made it's way to the Triangle by now. Considering all the tech companies that's located there.

In not talking about during a call on talking about 1x data when there is no 3g and LTE signal

Hurry up and wait. 

You will most likely get your phones way before that.

My 32GB Black Nexus 5 had a Nov 15 ship date originally but is out for delivery today.

It's definitely here in the Triangle... we just can't connect to it with the Nexus 5.

Raleigh has had solid LTE for a long time, I get it everywhere but my home. However in 3 days, my N5 has not connected once. The N5 has major major issues in some areas, most of us have never seen the LTE icon unless we force LTE ONLY.

Oh I see. 

Weird how some people have no LTE issues and others do

I'm actually doing some testing right now. I'm using the supplied LG charger, but I'm using a different cable because it's longer. I'll post the results when I'm done.

[Taxman]

My LTE works when I set it to "LTE only" under Network Mode under the dialer code *#*#4636#*#* (what is the name of this screen anyway?) But of course if I don't have LTE I don't have any service.

 

When all settings are default and I toggle airplane mode, it connects to LTE for a second, then falls back to 3G. Any ideas? 32GB Black.

Agreed. It is just constantly trying to connect to LTE or eHRPD, then loses stream and just guess back to EVDO

[imt3rrified]

Also annoying to try profile and PRL update when forcing LTE and it says that it can't update when not connected to the network

[exadyne]

Yes, I believe you mean "as to whom," math professor.  But I, too, do have an attitude -- as it pertains to the negators on this site.  Go away.  Find greener pastures.  Good luck.

Actually, I believe it is is "as to who" because the "to" goes to the entire clause of "who had the attitude", and therefore doesn't cause the "who" to be the object of the sentence, but instead the subject in the relative clause it is in.

[Jackietreehorn]

I activated my phone 12 hours ago and still can't connect to LTE at all.  I live in MN.  

 

I'm in the same boat.  Also in MN, and I haven't been to an area I know I get LTE since yesterday to try to force LTE, but will today.
