  1. Are you still in need of a SIM? If so PM me and I can get one sent out to you
  2. piss all over the wheaties of course
  3. Hey Robert, does this also seem to be an issue with ALU in SoCal? I believe I mentioned before that as soon as LTE became official here, we are experiencing all sorts of headaches. I know it will get worse before it gets better, but I may need to triple check for open trouble tickets in the area.
  4. either way.... i don't believe anyone here wants to lock themselves into a more restrictive plan in the off chance that they eventually hold you to the letter of the law of the T&C's. and you know they will, or at least reserve the right to do so. no thank you.
  5. it will most likely not come with a sim card. if you need me to mail one out to you, hit me up in PM. You may want to see if your local stores have any 3ff sims in stock. i can probably get a spare out to you faster than worldchat
  6. FORGIVE ANY LATE RESPONSES. sorry about the caps lock lol (been off for several days (if 6 counts as several. 600+ notifications) chasers? real men need no chasers. maybe you should just drink disaranno straight or with some ice. (28% abv) my experience has been similar to the stock 4.4 radio. i sideloaded 4.4.1, and ota'd to 4.4.2. unfortunately my area has had a lot of work being done so MMMV. i had a few more radio issues on both 4.4.2 and 4.4.1 then on 4.4 but they seem to be slowly resolving themselves. now if only the 3 closet towers to me would work out their issues. I have an ingress portal that i setup 500 feet from my house but the signal is abysmal and takes 10 mins to get any data connection (even 3g) regardless of restarts, airplane mode, etc depending on your signal strength (or not) i have always found gvoice to get texts even before the hangouts app or any other sms program. Currently using hangouts and gvoice concurrently until all of the issues get worked out
  7. As much as I want to install the old modem, I can't bring myself to root this bad boy
  8. Well you didn't necessarily have to do all of that to begin with for a few extra tweaks. If you were completely stock it is a simple process on computer - install latest android sdk (if you don't already have it) on phone - boot into recovery mode (vol up + power key) - select update from adb - plug phone into computer on computer - use terminal or command line with the adb sideload filename.zip command five simple steps, a few minutes of your time. I'm not trying to say that rooting and putting in a custom recovery doesn't have it own benefits, but for the average user, a custom rom or custom prl isn't really necessary. At least the Nexus 5 does not suffer from uninstallable bloatware which is a primary reason for rooting on other android devices. I've done my fair share of custom recoveries, roms, roots, and various hacks to countless devices. This phone has been one of the few so far I have not seen the need to do so.
  9. You might want to try redownloading the file, as it may be corrupt. Are you making sure to put your phone in "update from adb" when in recovery mode before plugging it into the computer and using the adb sideload filename.zip command in the terminal/command line? Also, are you using the latest Android SDK?
  10. I ADB'd that zip is soon as the file went online. I'm not the most patient person with the random selection push update
  11. Did you also take a look at the Galaxy Mega? Now that's a beast in size... Just looked at one myself today
  12. The Nexus 5 certainly is no Ford Fiesta. More like a Corvette
  13. works fine for me as well. do you also use gvoice though?
  14. I had to order another case because the heavy duty one negated my wireless charging capabilities. Ended up buying a yellow bumper case to make this nexus 5 a sprint classic
