Yep, 32GB black. Ordered 11/7, has shown "Shipping by 12/3" all along; in fact, the main Google Play page still says that. Clicking "Info" does show that it has been shipped, so those of you still waiting for shipment, make sure you look at your order details and not just the summary page. Got the e-mail around 2pm this afternoon saying it was shipping. UPS had the package scanned heading out of Louisville KY 10 minutes after I received the e-mail, and it is already at the regional hub around here! I chose 2-day shipping, but unless UPS leaves it on the shelf for an extra day, I expect delivery tomorrow. Strangely enough, I haven't received the usual UPS My Choice notification I always get when a package is on its way to me, usually that arrives when the label is created. The tracking page also doesn't list a scheduled delivery date. Wondering if Google hasn't finalized their daily shipping manifest or something.

 

Package logistics have always interested me.. think it's amazing what the carriers are able to do.

I also haven't received my usual UPS Choice notification. Mine departed 4:55 PM KY time, so I expect it to arrive in CA sometime later tonight.

 

I'm unfortunately one of the last stops in the local UPS route as I always tend to get packages at 8 PM (my PS4 arrived last Friday at 8:10 PM as my most recent example), so if it does go out for delivery tomorrow, I don't expect it until around 8 PM.

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

Does the Nexus 5 have FM radio capability?  Anyone try using the NextRadio app to test it out on the Nexus 5?  On the Sprint smartphones site, it said that the LG G2 doesn't have FM radio capability but I verified that it indeed the FM radio function does work with the Nextradio app with my 3G/4G data connection disabled and wifi disabled.  Just used my headphones and I was good.

My package is not linked to my My Choice account at all yet, hopefully that changes tonight.. I am at the end of my driver's route as well, so I want to change it to will-call pickup. I will be home most of the day tomorrow, playing with a new phone would be more fun than anything else I had planned ;)

Calm down there Yoshi-san.  It is coming and you'll be playing with it soon enough.  I can imagine you being like the "Nintendo 64 kid" when you get your Nexus 5.

So, Not able to connect to a lot of sites on my drive tonight. And no b41. Tried all different band settings. Its not just yellow sites that im having problems with. Its completely random. Just like others have reported it shows lte for a split second(does not register in signalcheck) then falls back to ehrpd. Actually, looking at the map these are all purple sites have not had any issues with 3g/4g sites. Its only SOME sites that give me issues.

 

I tried everything too disabled b41, all different band priorities, restarting phone, Updating prl and profile. Sat at the base of b41 only site and did all of this too and could only get the 2 b25 sites down the road in dif directions

 

Market: Missouri

Device: N5

Legacy Vendor:Nortel(Ericsson)

NV Vendor:Ericsson.

 

Yup, its nothing on the phone, its sprint needing to upgrade those towers. Some have been upgraded since I got mine, however there are still bunches that haven't yet been upgraded.

It appears people who ordered two day delivery are getting priority ship days over people who got regular shipping, not just a quicker ship rate. Ordered on the 5 and still left with 26th ship date. Its like being able to cut in line at Disney if you paid more for the same standard ticket haha.

We I guess I'm glad I threw in the extra $6 or $8 for two day then.  I just knew that by the time if finally shipped I wouldn't be able to wait for it.  I had been contemplating canceling the 16GB Black and switching to a White version, but that probably won't help much at this point.

Thanks for helping me verify this. I guess that answers that question. Hmm I wonder why Sprint didn't flag the G2 as a FM radio capable phone. Ah well.

I just ripped the apk off my HTC one and sideloaded it on my nexus. It installs fine but when I try to play a station I get an error. "FM radio not supported on device 'nexus5' "

But does the app work with a data connection?

I have never used the app b4. It starts up no problem, when I try to play a station with no headphones in, I get a prompt to input headphones. After the headphones are inserted pressed play again, and that's when I get the error.

try tune in app, it uses data but it also guarantees consistent bitrate.

I did the 3-5 day (standard shipping).

 

I ordered mine on Nov 18th at 7:17 PM CST and got a email today (19th) at 7:52 PM CST with tracking number 32GB White.

Looks like by black 32GB N5 shows up Wednesday, ordered on the 4th. 

 

Have the SIM in-hand, hopefully I won't have any major problems what with being in a good incumbent market. 

 

Now if they would just get 800MHz LTE going around here. 

Out for delivery.

Standard shipping here.

What you can do until your towers are upgraded, is set your mobile network to 3g. This will insure you still get your texts and calls on time. If you can't deal with 3g only, then I suggest you go back to using your single band phone until sprint gets around to fixing the issue.

 

I tried this suggestion out. So far, so good. Signal strength has improved, no missed calls yet, and battery life has improved significantly (at least 20-25% improvement). I didn't really expect this! lol! Since I'm on WiFi at home, I didn't think that switching the radio from Global/LTE to 3g would make any difference for the voice part. I was mistaken.

 

Hopefully, this was not just a one day placebo effect, and that it continues this way

 

Thanks benifactor.

According to Sprint, the G2 also lacks wifi capability. According to best buy, it has a micro SD slot. I am pretty sure according to the FBI, the G2 is also responsible for the Kennedy assassination, too.

The wifi error on the Sprint website for the G2 has been corrected awhile ago sometime before release date.  The wifi error was only discovered during the preorder period when the page first launched.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      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.
