Really? Now ask yourself why google would make a device that supports Sprint on one device and not on the other?

 

Why?  Hua-why, that is why.  Google does not make the device -- Huawei does.  And it may very well have full Sprint band support.  But has there ever been a Huawei handset on Sprint previously?  Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

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

Normally I wouldn't but this time around I'm cracking the eggs and cooking them before they hatch. Hehe

Wow, I was able to sell mine for $300 a few weeks ago.  Glad I got top dollar.

It's harder now that eBay and amazon are so close to those prices.

Yeah, there is no certainty.  But I would be shocked if it didn't support Sprint.

At the time, that was fair price on a mint condition unit.  I knew the prices were going to collapse as Sept. 29 got closer.  I wanted to get the highest price I could so I could afford either a Moto X PE or Nexus 5X.  I've had to dump thousands of dollars on car repairs this summer.  I can only scrounge up a few hundred for a new device.  Selling my Nexus 6 was the only way to make this work.  I have been using my BBZ30 since selling it.  Talk about going backward.

I never would have imagined it would have dropped by $350 in less than a year. It did not hold value well. That's why it had to go.

It dropped slow in the beginning.  It was still $400-$500 in May when I finally bought it.  But it steadily dropped since then.

Must not have been very popular. They told me at the Sprint store they only sold 1-2 a month.

AT&T store in my city, one lady said they never sold one Nexus 6 that she was aware of and she only sold one Moto X 2014.  Activating mine was the first one she had dealt with.

May be why they are eliminating store / carrier versions altogether and just going with online sales.  Surprises me really, people always ask me what phone I have and want to get more information on it...  Oh well.

Confirmed that this is exactly what they are doing.

I worded my post poorly.  I meant it was surprising that the Nexus devices do not get more love at local stores.  Most people ask about my phone / seem intrigued, yet I have always heard they do not do well when it comes to sales.

 

As an aside, no wireless charging is quite lame.

No optical image stabilization, no wireless charging. I went and just got a note 5. Love it so far.

OIS not needed.  wireless charging prob not possible with the metal casing, but it does have usb type-c which means blast fast charging!  6P for me, just ordered...

I had a hard time with accepting no wireless charging because I have multiple wireless chargers but it is slow and does make the device get pretty warm.  The fingerprint scanner, 128GB storage and CA x2 are what sold me. I  think I found an option to replace my desktop chargers and then use the zsnaps (when I get them) could make the plugging up part easy and fast.  Somehow I got mine ordered today, I won't see it until November but that's cool with me.

How is the heat on the Note 5 When charging? Does it charge through a case? I had a tylt and it did charge through most cases on my Nexus 6.  On multiple occasions with other wireless chargers I seen the temp get up to 45 C.

It gets warm but never to hot to hold. That's why the wireless charger has a built in fan.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
