I'm definitely hoping that root cloak updates soon to prevent the root check in the Good app. I really want to root and flash Sacs rom, but need Good for work.

These are phenomenal devices. Can't wait for the next iteration, hopefully the GN4 Tri Band!

Agreed. I ended up buying this one outright but I have my upgrade in December so I'll definitely be getting the Note 4 then.

So I finally picked this phone up. I'm just floored by all the options. I never thought I'd use the s pen but I'm actually finding it useful. So far so good with the kit kat update as well. I wish it had the option for ART but oh well.

Yeah it's unfair to judge battery life one day after installing new software. Give a couple cycles.

So I tried to add my two lines to 2 different Framily plans last night and the only way they'd let me was if I'd change my billing address, which I can't do because I hand my bills in to my employer for reimbursement.

With Easy Pay, how do they determine your down payment?

My wifes battery will last days without charging,,, but you can pretty much guarantee it will talk 3+ calls to complete a conversation because the phone drops just about every call

Weird that it affects some users and not others.

I haven't seen the dropped call issue too much in my area. The phone seems really solid to me. For whatever reason my battery drains a lot faster than the one I had on att did which sucks. The only annoyance I have is getting used to the keyboard on such a big screen. I keep having to retype things due to me messing up.

thanks! I'm a big Swiftkey user so I should be good there.

I'll be picking it up this weekend.

So back to the actual topic of the phone, are there any major/lingering issues with the Note 3 or does it run like a champ?

I like my Nexus 5 but I now have to use my phone for work and my employer has a "no rooting" policy, so I'm getting pretty bored with stock Android and am getting a little hungry for both a larger screen and more features packed in.

Thanks for the insight!

Not you're thinking with your dipstick.

You can always just switch the plan and if you go unlimited your upgrade will be a year from now. Then you won't have to buy a phone at this point in time.

So the only way to get annual upgrade is if you cost the unlimited add on?

Rumor has it within the next 3 months we will be switching to strictly framily. Not too many places can do 2 year contracts as it is already.

hmmm.... makes me wonder if I should switch ASAP then so I can get an upgrade a year from now

Milwaukee should be getting some tri band loving soon and Green Bay has a few 800 lte towers complete from I've heard. They're just not broadcasting.

 

Yes. It only comes off your data plan though.

And you have your choice of data package. 1gb is included. To go up to 3gb is another $10 and unlimited is $20 but that includes an annual upgrade.

Thanks. Yeah I might just enjoy my Nexus for the rest of the year then and get the Note 4 when it comes out. I doubt I'll be forced to switch to Framily between now and then.

Just go to the sprint page in Facebook and you will find a lot of people there with their Id, asking for people to join them

Thanks. Anyone here have openings? I'd rather join a group here rather than a random person on Facebook.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Great thanks guys. Looks like if my wife and I switch to this we'd only save $5. Unfortunately we don't have any friends on Sprint to add to the plan.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I wouldn't go with the note 3 at this point since it's not tri band.

I live in Green Bay, WI so that probably won't be an issue for a while.

The only things I'm corpus about with family:

1. Will I still be eligible for my employee discount through my employer?

2. Will I still be charged $10 on each line for Premium Data?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

So I have 2 questions regarding this Framily plan. Will I still be able to use my employee discount that my employer offers? And will each line still have that $10 Premium data charge each month?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

It is widely rumoured if not confirmed (can't remember which) that soon framily will be the only plan available. Meaning that once your contract is up you will have to sign up for framily which means no phone subsidy. However, I believe they do monthly payments so it is similar to the phone subsidy if you pay the phone off over a longer period. Please anyone correct me if I've misrepresented anything.

 

Sent from my Nexus 5

Ah. Yes. Just read about it.

Interesting... my wife and I couple probably save a little bit on this plan, though I'd still want unlimited data.

Hmmm.... wonder if I should pull the trigger on a Note 3 now.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

You probably won't have a December upgrade. FRAMILY....

 

Sent from my Nexus 5

what do you mean?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

The Note 4 and my December upgrade can't come soon enough. I have the nexus 5 right now and really like it, but I have the itch for a bigger screen.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Do you guys use Global or LTE (Recommended) or does it really matter?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks. I'm going to try enabling all 3 bands and set then all to priority 1 and see what happens.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

So after you get your msl, how do you increase your LTE priority? I've been having major issues with my phone staying on 3g in areas where LTE is available.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

If you have a custom recovery installed such as TWRP it's easy. Reboot to recovery, tap install, tap the modem zip, reboot.

I think it may have been a coincidence because I'm seeing much better speeds now.  Running Slimkat ROM as well, getting strong speed.

Has anyone seen any positive improvements in the 4.4.1 radios?

 

 

 

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Unfortunately the new radio had had a very negative affect on my LTE speeds. I may need to find a way to flash the old radio.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Anyone in the Appleton/Green Bay area have a g2 or nexus 5? And do you have any lte connection issues?

I have a Nexus 5. No issues here. Did you get a sim card from Sprint?
