AIRAVE users: anyone having problems sending/receiving text messages with hangouts? GV doesn't count since it uses wifi...
-
a few things to report, 1 good, 2 bad.
good: using the same car charger that i used with my S3, this thing charges SUPER FAST. alright!
bad: VOICEMAIL!!!?? what are you guys doing in regards to voicemail? if i get a voicemail, the phone doesn't alert me with an icon, flashing light, etc. i have to manually hold 1 to call myself to see if i have messages. no visual voicemail, this sucks. sprint needs to release their visual voicmail app in the play store with kitkat compatibility!
bad: mightytext. this does not work. maybe needs an update to work with kitkat/hangouts??!?!

I had such a bad time trying to get my phone to activate, I thought I would post it in case anyone else ran into the same issue.
I got my phone before I got the SIM and being antsy, I turned it on and set it up. Thinking that I would just put the SIM in and activate and everything would be happy. WRONG. I put the SIM in and it would not connect to Sprint network. I tried doing SCRTN and reseting my MDN and MSID and would still not get my phone to activate. I finally gave up and decided to reset to factory image to see if skipping the initial boot with the SIM would fix it. I boot into the bootloader(I also unlocked my bootloader as soon as I got the phone) and went to boot into recovery...... No Command with a little sad Android Icon. I had to download the image from Google to reset back to factory, and then it worked with no issue. Took about 5 hours to figure that out. Hopefully I save someone some time if this is widespread. I have the White 32GB.
i also had a HELL of a time to get it to activate. i set mine up via wifi last night before getting the sim today. my fix was to go into mobile network settings and change it from LTE to 3G. then hit auto activate and away it went...

How does it compare to the S3.
haven't really looked yet. the OIS is VERY NICE though!
-
my complaint is with the camera. coming from the S3, i was given a choice for a "widescreen" option in settings. in the N5, i don't have this option. all my pics now don't fill up the phone screen or computer monitor. is there way to enable widescreen pics!?!?

for those of you that are "out and about" and don't have access to a cigarette lighter or AC outlet, keep in mind you can pick up one of these or something similar. you can get 3+ full charges on a dead battery when you are out in BFE

just out of curiosity, when you purchase a sprint phone using the upgrade that is available, and you go to sell it, is there anything you need to do first? like activate it, un-activate it, sneeze on it, etc??
-
nexus 5 rumored to have SVLTE?
That is correct. No SV-LTE in the handset altogether, which means no talk and surf.
-
this is very unfortunate as it does come in very handy at times. so even if you're not connect to band 41, it still won't work with the other 2 bands?
This is a limitation of Sprint's transition to TD-LTE, for the most part. From what I understand and what AJ has explained, it's exceptionally difficult to get SV-LTE and TD-LTE working on the same handset.
-
is it true, you can't use data while on a phone call unless connected to wifi? read this somewhere else:
(Negative) Data/Voice - this may be a deal breaker for some. Not able to connect to data while on a phone call unless on WiFi. The LG rep wasn't aware of this till I told him, and said it works on Verizon. The only other phones that have this problem in Sprint are iPhones
I'll be doing more tests later on today, but mine also seems to be worse than the iPhone 5 for B25 LTE, a device I'd call middle of the road.
That -110 dBm signal is far from unusable. My MiFi 500 works great on it, with nearly identical strength to the Note II. It runs at around 4 Mbps with 50ms pings, during peak hours. It also did not drain the battery - at least not enough to be noticeable. Also, I'd rather a -110 dBm RSRP LTE signal than a - 105 EVDO and 1X signal.
In other news, after doing a PRL update, it connected to BC10 just fine, with better strength than the Note II.
Also, the device (while stock) shows your bars based on the data connection, not voice, so LTE bars are more or less "correct".

That is fine and when December comes around and you are able to donate to premier sponsor, you can find out more details then. I am sure you will start finding clues as to which areas in Los Angeles will have LTE 2600 when the LG G2 comes out and people start reporting which locations they were able to get LTE 2600. I know I will be.
are there LTE800 maps avail in the sponsor section? i would be interested in this.
-
Premier Sponsors does have perks you know... including TD_LTE maps...
what other "perks" are available to premier sponsors??
-
It looks like there are 4 or 5 towers broadcasting 2600mhz in your area now.

sorry for being clueless, but how can you become a 'premier' member to view maps? TIA

Another element that most people haven't considered is that Sprint's network will be much more "complete" with the expansion of 1x800 deployment, therefore people's phone's won't be working overtime trying to hold on to a signal. This will no doubt improve battery life. Combine that with Kitkat's more efficient battery handling and the Snapdragon 800 CPU, 2300mAh may be plenty sufficient.

Nexus 5 won’t pack MEMS camera, but Oppo will be the first company to use such cameras

If you plan on keeping the phone for a year- probably not
If you plan on keeping the phone for 2 years- probably
let me add.... if you do any sort of traveling, i would want triband...

Not sure why people are doubting the battery size. We have two, independent, solid sources indicating the battery will be 2300: The FCC filing and the log files. I can think of zero phones which had multiple configurations with different battery sizes (except maybe the Droid Maxx line, and that's really a whole different device). So that's nearly set in stone.
2300 isn't the end of the world. As I already stated:
Now whether those special tricks are used is unknown, and I'm not optimistic.
BUT, the HTC One, with the same size battery, is a good guide. The Sense version got 4 hours, 48 minutes, "a decidedly average score," on the Verge's battery test. That score apparently equates to a full day's worth of normal to light use. But the Google Play version got a full hour longer on the same test. That's a 21% improvement just by getting rid of the bloat. That savings should carry over in a Nexus device. So even without LG's battery tricks on the G2, I would expect this battery to be at least average, if not a bit better.
ETA: AnandTech also attributed the great battery performance in the G2 in large part to the Snapdragon 800, which will be in the Nexus 5, so if that's truly a battery saver, the Nexus 5 should surpass the HTC One's Snapdragon 600 battery usage.
not to mention there are supposed to be some battery enhancements with kitkat as well so.....

think I'll be using my upgrade for this
you mean "IF" it is released on sprint?
out of curiosity, if it "DOES" get released for sprint, will it get nexus updates in a timely fashion like other nexus devices or will we have to wait months for sprint to add their bloatware crap to it???
-
i agree. the radios probably weren't quite ready when they had to submit it to the FCC. let's hope Sprint gets the Note 3 "Active" and it's triband!
Pretty sure sprint would rather be releasing a tri band note 3 but for some reason was not able to do so.
To say sprint is intentionally slapping you in the face is a little harsh.

under mobile networks, did you toggle between lte, 3g, 1x, etc?
