I could not live without the extra functionality of a Samsung branded phone.

The only functionality you'll find on a Samsung phone you can't duplicate on the nexus would be the stylus from the note series, Sprint's branded WiFi calling, and expandable storage. You don't have to use Google's camera app, it's just what is already there.

It holds LTE like a beast so far, drove from the Bronx to midtown and back, have no idea what the 3G logo looks like. Have yet to drop to 3G even in an elevator.   B26 performance in particular seem

I know but not a stylus... I am a Note fan.

 

Also I stick away from Google, Motorola, LG, Apple, HTC branded devices. Last one I bought was an EVO 3D.

 

With the Google Nexus, I would be upset with it probably because it is a Motorola and Google, and it will have the stock Google OS / ASOP. I prefer TouchWhiz all the way. Samsung's camera app is also way better. Based on my comparisons of Google ROM Edition and Samsung ROMs on my previous Galaxy S4..

If the last non-Samsung branded phone you used was an EVO 3D (which I'm sure came out 4 years ago) how can you pass judgement on LG, Apple, and HTC. That doesn't seem right to me.

He likes Samsung, as hard as that is for some of us to believe.  :lol:

I have used plenty of phones I just didn't buy then for myself personally. Also one can normally tell how quality a phone is just by looking at it. There is rarely a time at least when I go to buy that anyone has a phone quite as good as Samsung. Plus Samsung has a huge modder community that most of the other phones don't have. Whereas a Galaxy phone normally has dozens upon dozens of custom roms to choose from, you might only have one choice or none or a few with other brands..

 

People buy Samsung for the quality hardware, to avoid LCD, and the modder community. At least on T Mobile. I have noticed Samsung's Sprint modder community is slightly lacking so but so is the community around their other phones. On the other hand, the new Note 4 does have quite a bit of Roms but only a fraction of what T Mobile has.. All the big developers for some reason are gravitating to T Mo  (compare by looking at the XDA developers forum for each device to see what is out there.). Also T Mo had dozens of custom ROMs almost day one, as all the Galaxy S5 and S4 developers picked it up fast, it took until December for a full custom ROM to come out for Sprint, which is when a dozen other options suddenly popped up.

The SOT is no better than the one m8. Smh.I still personally desire the cloud white nexus 6 64GB which is impossible to find in stock! Moto had it it for a few hours but missed that inventory run.

When I first got the device I averaged between 3.5-4hrs. After about 2 weeks that improved to slightly higher than 4. But I could not help myself Installed pure ROM and Franco kernel, I'm seeing between 6.5-7.5hrs depending on usage.

With Franco's kernel do you run Franco's default settings or do you tweak them?

I got mine Friday and activated it Sat. So far I have better signal than my S4 and I have averaged 5+ hours of sot.

Do you plan to update to 5.0.1?

I think I may have found a pattern with the duplicate SMS issue. If I'm connected to a Clear B41 tower then texts seem to reliably send. But if I'm on B25 or B26 then they hang and duplicate. I think Sprint B41 (8T8R) also may cause duplicates, but I haven't had a chance to verify that yet.

Upgraded my n6 to 5.0.1 no issues. Only issue I had was after they ported in my phone number, my mms quit working until I updated the correct ported in phone number in the settings.

      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....
