anaidioschrono Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Was the Nexus 5 also a nano sim card? I currently have a phone that doesn't have a removable sim card (S3), and I'm looking to buy the Nexus 6 from the play store. I didn't even realize that this might be an issue, so I'm looking to get a jump on things and get a sim card ordered. What card should I ask for?

anaidioschrono Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Are there any other phones that Sprint currently stocks that are nano sims (besides the iPhone 6/6+)? In other words, has this path already been paved by other devices or is this expected to be just as bumpy as the nexus 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anaidioschrono Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 A quick look indicates that the HTC One M8 uses a nano sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaidioschrono Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This post (http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4845-uicc-compatibility-matrix/) makes me think that we'll need the same sim card as the motox X (2013), with UPC 760492013512 and a Sprint SKU of CZ2104LWR. That card is listed as a nano sim card with LTE support (UICC SIM card). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Chemist Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 My Sharp AQUOS Crystal uses a Nano SIM and so does the iPhones. I don't think it will be too bad. And if you buy from Sprint, it will ship with it. I have a question about purchasing Nexus 6 from Sprint. My memory is pretty foggy on this, but didn't individuals who bought their Nexus 5's from T-Mobile have trouble getting them activated on Sprint? Or, were they unable to activate them on Sprint at all? Some sort of MEID issues? Since the Nexus 6 works on all 4 cell providers, if we want to sell it after a period of time, would the next owner have an issue if he or she were to try and activate it on a carrier other than Sprint? I would hate to purchase from Google Play and then go through the hassle of trying to get a SIM card from Sprint. I'd rather just purchase from Sprint where the SIM is already installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the nexus 5 i believe if was only purchased from tmobile. If you swapped i don't think it is a problem because its in sprints system already. Just buy it from sprint or Google play to be safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anaidioschrono Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I just got the Moto X (2013) nano sim shipped to me (UPC: 760492013512, Description: SIMCARD LTEGSM 4FF USIM REMOV). It should arrive in the next few business days. I hope that gets me all ready to go for the Nexus 6.

digiblur Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 How's the RF performance? Sent from my Nexus 5 I honestly don't look at the numbers as we have seen some phones with bad numbers end up being good and vice versa. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I honestly don't look at the numbers as we have seen some phones with bad numbers end up being good and vice versa. I don't think I've ever seen a device with bad numbers be a good performer. But I've seen midrange EIRP numbers be good performers. Like the Sprint Note 2. And I've seen good numbers be bad or just fair performers. But anything with sub 16 EIRP numbers, in my experience, has been bad. Like the Verizon Note 3. It's LTE RF performance was awful. Probably the worst Verizon LTE device ever. My boss threw his across the room and destroyed it because he got so frustrated with it.

Using Sharp AQUOS Crystal on Tapatalk Only half the puzzle though. Like for instance there are no band 29 numbers since it is receive only. I take the numbers as a grain of salt. Hopefully the real world tests will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert took the words right out of my mouth, saved me from having to write the same post. poor RF figures = poor RF performance average RF figures = good, average, or poor RF performance high RF figures = good, average, or poor RF performance AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
