Galaxyguy Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Just purchased a Note 4 to replace the wife's G2 she unceremoniously dumped into the toilet. Should be here tomorrow and the SIM will arrive today. I've never swapped out/installed a SIM card or activated a device online. Any advice you seasoned veterans can pass along? The Note 4 was purchased through Swappa. It's very easy. Just follow the instructions and you shouldn't have any problems. If you do, just call Sprint.

chico1983 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Really simply remove backing to the phone. Remove battery, Insert Sim card. Go to Sprint website and input numbers asked for. Wait 5 minutes, install battery and power on the device. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid71 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I appreciate the replies. I still think she dumped that G2 in the toilet on purpose. She's been missing her Note 2 since it died last year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico1983 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Can't blame her. I would have done the same thing if I was her. Women are smart, they know how to get into our pockets. Lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid71 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Just looking to confirm the correct SIM is in hand. Part#: 760492013536 Description: SIMCARD LTEGSM 3FF USIM REMOV If this is the correct SIM, we just need the Note to arrive. Reading the past few pages, it appears as if the 5.1.1 release is somewhat imminent. Thanks again for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico1983 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I might be wrong but if I remember correctly sprint sent me the same one for my note 4. This sim card end up being for an iphone. I visited the local store and they gave me one from an S-6. The part number on mine is SIMGLW206R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tivoboy Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Just purchased a Note 4 to replace the wife's G2 she unceremoniously dumped into the toilet. Should be here tomorrow and the SIM will arrive today. I've never swapped out/installed a SIM card or activated a device online. Any advice you seasoned veterans can pass along? The Note 4 was purchased through Swappa. only thing I might recommend is taking it BACK (unless you got a wicked discount or had to had it now) since the new note 5 is expected to be announced august 15, and out august 2x..you'll have a substantial drop in value depending on features. The new note 5 is expected to be the highest quality/spec android device for now. Downsides might be lack of exchangeable battery and possibly galaxy 6 style. Glass/metal back, etc..

Pretty solid points, and I appreciate your opinion on the matter. We're a best-value type of family. We pay cash for our devices, and they don't have to be the latest and greatest. The $400+ we saved by purchasing the Note 4 (which does everything a Note 5 will do) goes to paying for travel, which IMO, is way more fun. To each their own, it's all good!

chico1983 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Just call sprint and they will send you another SIM. If the person gives you a hassle ask to talk to the disconnection department or the international department. They will send you one for FREE.

ghostkilla1388 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Mines been fine. One thing I have noticed is when roaming it kills the battery really quick, but that's roaming I guess. Sent from a Note 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankbear Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Phone been acting crazy now screen freezes random reboot. Just started yesturday had phone since nov. Anybody have these problemson 5.0 lolpop. I had to go back to Kitkat. Lollipop was just too horrible in so many ways. The complete lockups and app freezes, along with the overall sluggishness, were just too annoying. Kitkat is like my phone was new, again, in more ways than one. Even with all my apps loaded back on, it is lightyears faster and more responsive. Even my GPS problem, where it would constantly turn off when I had Kitkat, originally, is gone. And, battery life is definitely better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankbear Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Just noticed the Note 4 is no longer listed on Sprint's site. That's pretty crazy. They still sell the LG G2, G3, and the Galaxy S5, but no Note other than the Edge?!? How strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmartine3 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The reason I asked about the Note 4 is because I prefer a removable battery and to be able to carry my music from my SD card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyun1120 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The phone seems much more snappier than before. Will need to use it through out the day to have a valid opinion on the update. But so far so good. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
