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.

      Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
