  1. Suddenly getting fantastic signal and LTE speeds here at work in East Peoria. Full bars and Band 26 LTE 12/9Mbit inside of a building. I'm blown away.
  2. Ah, I'd suggest one of these then.
  3. Have you tried the FCC app yet?
  4. The phone's percent calibration from 100% - 99% is pretty wonky. I've had it stick at 100% for up to 5 - 6 hours before. Granted with only a few minute screen-on time.
  5. Anyone have any input regarding disabling the Sprint RTSP proxy in ##DATA# ? I've always seen it recommended to disable to improve network speeds over 3G and 4G, at least for media streaming.
  6. Sooooo... we got Root I guess? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519026
  7. Canceled my order online as well. The guy tried putting in an In Store Pickup order for me but got stuck at the Order screen for the gift card. I think he was just confused. So I said screw it and just placed my order online normally for in-store pickup today. I'll still try to convince them In Store to give me a gift card. If not, I don't even care at this point.
  8. You guys are actually able to get the $99 Upgrade price in-store? They told me $199 on Upgrade. Anyway, the attempt they made to give me in-store pickup today failed. So I just got everything switched back over to my address. I might go into the store anyway and ask what they can do.
  9. Called my local store, they said they had some in stock, but at $199 on upgrade. Called Best Buy mobile, got a very nice lady that tried switching my order to Store Pickup. So she apparently changed my shipping address to my local store, and upped my shipping toExpedited (fastest method) for free. I told her I just want to try to pick up my store's local stock. So she said she'll call her superior or something higher to see if they can do that. So I'll post again once I hear back from them. If anything, I'll get faster shipping and just pick it up in store.
  10. I've found that the reps on the phone don't know anymore than the automated response you'll get by calling 877-702-2211 and punching in your order number. I believe that the "Awaiting Fulfillment" status means they are still waiting to get stock in of the phones. So until that changes, don't expect shipping.
  11. If there is one thing I've learned from working in and calling customer supports, it's that the Rep is not always right.
  12. Maybe someone stole the Best Buy truck full of phones too! But seriously, it'll be lame if they ship later than Nov 8th. However... I saved $100 and got a $50 gift card with them, so I'd say it's worth a bit of extra waiting.
  13. Best Buy's site no longer says "Pre-Order" but "Sale", so maybe they'll be shipping today? EDIT: Just called Best Buy and they said they're still waiting on phones to even arrive at their facility apparently.
  14. Sign up for UPS My Choice, you can have them hold the package at your local distro facility for free (mine is close to my work) or hold at a retail location for a $5 fee. I think there is also a Signature Release option.
  15. Oh man, oh man... my G2 pre-order at Best Buy is still pending, prob won't ship till Nob 8th. I really hope some decent reviews come out for the Nexus 5 this week so I can decide weather or not I want to cancel and go with the N5 instead. The pressure!! i mean... smaller battery and smaller storage as a trade off for pure Android. It's still tempting.
  16. It's gotta be Nov 8th
  17. That is a good point. I guess we'll have to see how it plays out. If Sprint gets an order page up and reviews come in before my Best Buy pre-order ships, I might consider canceling my G2 order. Otherwise, no big deal. The G2 will inevitably get AOSP based ROMs anyway.
  18. Not mine. I realized, every other Nexus device released under Sprint or Verizon don't really give you a true Nexus experience because updates are so delayed due to the slight differences in AOSP with CDMA phones. So, might as well stick with the G2.
  19. Google teasing something on their Facebook page: Maybe nothing, maybe Nexus 5.
  20. Well Engadget was just summing up Sprint's press-release. So it's not just scuttlebutt, but Sprint's official announcment.
  21. Except that people break their phones far more offten than they wreck their cars. Deductables aren't just relative to the price of the insured item, but also the frequency of claims.
  22. Just an FYI, as I pre-ordered back on the 11th: I called the Customer Service number, and they confirmed that you won't get the gift card via email until the phone ships. They also didn't have any ETA on the ship date. I'm guessing we won't get our order's shipped until the Nov 8th release date.
  23. The Best Buy pre-order deal just got better. G2 is now free on new contract/line, still $99 on upgrade.
  24. Wasn't the G2 confirmed not to support SVLTE (Simultaneous Voice and LTE) awhile back? Even though the specs list SVLTE for the Global version... I guess we lost that with Triband? -does his WiWavelength summoning dance-
  25. Links were in my first post. http://get.cm/?device=d802 http://get.cm/?device=vs980
