No problem here. Did the ota last night. Went smooth all the way.

Has anyone had any issues with updating to 5.1 where it will say optimizing apps and then finish and then starting optimizing apps again over and over??

Interesting. Ting is already offering service on tmo and sprint but not necessarily on the same device at the same time. Might try it on my Motorola bought nexus 6 when Google gets it going.

Motorola has the 64gb blue in stock again.

2 lines unlimited everything on sprint is $100 plus taxes. Tethering is $10 more for 1 gb. I thought tmo dropped subsidized phones?

I am running 5.0.1 CleanROM and its working great.

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.

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?

Drove around Beaufort today... down Boundary Street and Ribaut Road. All I was getting was b25. On Lady's Island, though, I was getting some pretty strong b26 signal. I doubt Sprint is rolling out b41 here anytime soon, given their new Spark strategy. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Thanks for the upate. You practically went by my future home. Well it is just an empty lot now but I hope to build this fall. I got wimax on my lot down there a couple years ago.

Sprint's twitter account today said that the CCA has been active since November 2014. Is that accurate? What phones would be capable of that since November if true?
The nexus 6 for one.

I'm glad to hear that! I can't wait for mine to show up now! You still haven't ran into any SMS or calling issues have you?
Mine came in early, maybe yours will too. Just sent a picture text to the photon q. It went in just a couple seconds and worked great. Calls seem okay so far.

Oh yea you still had that Photon lol, so how is the size? And camera? I'm a little worried about a 6 inch screen.
So far love everything. Camera is great. Size is awesome. Love the screen. Looking for a case just to be on the safe side. Found a couple on amazon that look good.

Woah sweet! I get about one bar LTE in my house or 3g it jumps back and forth with my m8. Does the N6 have a great radio like the N5?
And I ordered my Sim from sprint international. But I usually go to fairlawn.
It is way better than my wife's photon q. My photon 4g doesn't have lte.

I just bought a 32 GB Blue Nexus 6, I hope since we are in the same area that I dont have any issues.
Hopefully you will be ok. I went to fairlawn for my sim card.
I get lte in my own living room now!

Just activated a 64gb n6 bought from the motorola web site. Went to a sprint store for the sim card. Voice text and lte all seem to be working fine.

Oh okay that's cool. This makes me want to do some driving around to figure out where the towers are in my area.
We have some awesome maps in the sponsor area. Just saying.

Yep. As I have said, this massive, expensive thing is different from the Nexus 5 last year. The supply chain has been largely directed to the operators, not Google Play. Why buy from Google Play this year?

If you wanted to run it on ting it may have to come from the play store.

I cancelled 2 extra lines on my account last quarter in order to be able to have my iPhone 6+.
Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
If I cancel 2 of my ting lines and move 1 of them back to sprint, will that be counted as an add to sprint for the 1 new sprint line or a net loss for the 2 ting lines going away?

You better double check on Ting before buying. I thought I remember them saying that you could port over any Sprint Triband phone. But you may not be able to ever port it back. But a cheap Sprint Postpaid plan, especially on a full Framily would be a good way to go too.
Sprint will not let ting activate most phones bought from sprint if less than a year old. A nexus 5 bought from the play store would be approved, the same phone if bought from sprint would not have been allowed.

Yes just expect that if you add it to your sprint account, get insurance, something goes wrong, you will not get a nexus 5 back. Mine got replaced with a single band note 3.
Ouch. That part sucks.

Just to notebthe nexus 5 is end of life in sprint stores. Youd have to buy from google, or 3rd party. But the nexus was a great device while it lasted in my arsenal.
Won't google update the software even if sprint has eol'd the nexus 5?

OK, but we if by that time Claure has straightened out Sprint, who knows
Won't network vision be a better framework once it is complete than the network tmo is building?

I would have much preferred a $500 price point for the 16 GB version.
Maybe they will do a 16 GB version for 500 or so. If the 32 is 650 then the 64 would be 700 or so.

Could hardly get a signal at Hilton head beach, at least where my wife dropped me off. Note, I have a fractured ankle right now and am not very mobile. Will check some more areas the next time we run down there.
