I'm wondering if somehow my SIM card was not activated. 

That was my next thought as well.  You may want to call customer service and make sure.

Note 4 in hand!   Gosh how could I have been without the spinning Spark icon for so long!?!   WiFi calling sounds great!   Not at a Spark tower, will try that later.  I know the network parks yo

For $300 above the Note's premium price, it best come with CAT 20 and connect to towers in the next state.

Sprint made a few changes in that system wide shutdown yesterday.   1- The $24 price difference between ordering the Black and White Note 4 is not longer there. Both colors are the same price now.

Sure it's not a tower issue?  SInce your N5 worked, it shouldn't be an eCSFB issue. 

Well, my Nexus 5 is now not connecting to LTE, but that's because my SIM card has been deactivated, correct?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, my Nexus 5 is connecting fine after an airplane mode toggle.

Yes, after the device is deactivated it will still show a 3G signal but no LTE.

Well, I'm able to connect to LTE on my Nexus 5 and get data. My SIM card has not been swapped, I believe. I'm going to try manually swapping.  

 

EDIT: Ok, *whew*, using the SIM card from my Nexus 5 worked. I'm back on LTE. I've got a good signal. Seems about 2 to 3 db better than my Nexus 5.

If you can still get data on your Nexus 5, the SIM is not deactivated, which is why your Note 4 does not have LTE.

Awesome.  Enjoy the new toy!  :)

You may want to use the correct SIM and deactivate the N5 SIM.  I think, and I may be wrong, that you can get messed up on Sprint by using a SIM from another device.  It's not like GSM.

I'm not sure about that. When I tried to activate the phone on the web (which, in all my years with Sprint, has NEVER worked), it gave me the option of using my same SIM. I selected "no, activate the new one", but the implication is that you are able to simply swap the SIM.

That's cool!  Come to think of it, I did see that option as well the last time I swapped a phone.

Can someone with the Note 4 in hand please tell me if there's a mobile data quick toggle option in the settings part of the notification panel/shade? I saw the option in a screenshot in one of the reviews of the AT&T model, but since Sprint removed it from the S4 with one of the OS updates, I'm wondering if they removed it from this phone.

I don't see it. Here are the options:

Thanks. Looks like Sprint removed the mobile data and download booster toggles, compared to this screenshot of the AT&T model from GSM Arena:

Well, best buy sucks! I know I should have done earlier but went to best buy to order today (website says through today) and they said the system won't allow them and I might lose out on the $200 trade in... Really mad

You could order from Verizon!

 

Shouldn't matter of they sold out, take my $50, reserve it and good $200 gift card. Website says pre-order in store until today, doesn't say quanities limited.... Take my money dang it!

I suppose that is pretty good considering signal.. I think I was on 2 bars on B41.

 

How is B41 signal for others? I have two sites around me that were just turned on for B41. I assume those are not optimized.. The signal didn't seem that strong even close by. Only briefly had full bars.

It looks they've extended the $200 gift card promotion. The Galaxy Note 4 landing page on BB's site currently says "Get a guaranteed $200 Best Buy gift card when you trade in any working smartphone and purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or Samsung Galaxy S 5." Note the revised wording (no mention of pre-ordering) and inclusion of the S5 as welll. I don't see an expiration date listed.

At Best Buy now. They are having a difficult time with the $200 gift card, saying it has to be an active phone. The manager is trying to figure it out. I pointed out their website doesn't mention that even in the fine print.

      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....
