Could it be plan related? I can definitely see sprint disabling CA on unlimited plans. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

My purchase was vindicated the other day. My wife who has a Note 5, picked up my MXPE and said "Wow your phone is fast!" Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

An article I just read regarding the Moto X and the new Nexus devices and how Motorola's unique features may become integrated into Android. http://m.pocketnow.com/2015/09/29/moto-x-obsolete-thanks-to-nexus-5x Your thoughts? Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

Anyone able to get tethering working on Sprint? Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

I have experienced it too. I have only experienced while listening to extremely high gain audio. I have been unable to recreate it listening to audio with normal gain levels. How would I test the audio processing? Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

Okay. I'm up on both Bell Mobility in Canada and Sprint in the US. I can report that Sprint appears to have activating the MXPE under control. The Sprint site was down for maintenance so I had to call. It took less than 10 minutes on the phone. I gave her my MEID and the sim card number. From that she correctly identified my phone as MXPE and was able to tell I had the correct sim. She put me on hold for 45 seconds, came back and asked me to power cycle the phone and voila... Done. I verified that my data was working and did a couple of test calls to verify. All things said... A niche device, early adopter... Seamless activation on a network well known for the very opposite... In 7 days. I'm not going to pat anyone on the back, but I think it's safe to say there's nothing worthy of complaining about to anyone. All in all, I am very pleased with this phone. My only other concern was the crackling speakers. My experience is that unless you are listening to audio with unreal gain levels, you will never experience it. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

My experience is similarly anecdotal. All my friends are geeks like me. All the phones mentioned in recent replies aren't unusual for us to own. However, to the point being put forward, we are the only people we ever see with them. It's actually a game for us while out in public to spot someone else using the same phone as us. During my time as a Samsung fanboy I always won because none of are a fan of CrApple and I was the only Samsung guy. Since I came to be interested in the Moto X I have paid even closer attention to the phones I see people using in my travels from Ontario, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. I am yet to see someone using ANY generation of the Moto X. We're talking about months since the first rumors of this new nearly universally banded version. Until recently I never realized how rare and niche the Moto X is. I'm another person who probably expects too much from my wireless provider. But despite the Moto X being fairly rare, I still believe that carriers should still be aware of any device that they will allow on their network and have basic instructions available somewhere for reps to use for activation. Why? Basic customer service. Isn't that the biggest reason people leave carriers still? If the first interactions they have with their customers show them to be reasonably capable and helpful, unless their network is dreadful people would generally stick around. If every time they need to switch device this same experience is what they see, their customers will recommend them. I always appreciate capable people on the occasion I've had to enter a carrier store. I have even tipped once because it was the only time I'd met someone more capable than me.

All great points. Coming from mainstream Samsung, I hadn't really considered just how niche of a product the MXPE truly is. However, I don't agree that Sprint shouldn't have been more ready now. We know there are few geeks like us in carrier stores. Sprint also knows this. Those people largely rely on what they see on the computer screen to get through the process. How much does it really take for the correct sim to be listed for these people? Surely, the correct sim listing would have helped a lot of people. I agree that not everyone needs to be aware on launch day, but that's more reason - not less - for them to be ready for any device. If you were just coming to Sprint, this experience might be enough to make you reconsider. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

It was kind of nice for everyone to be solving the activation headache for me, but now I'm starting to get a bit jealous. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

That's why I bought the 64gb model. I fill my SD card with TV to watch while I'm on the road. I'm a truck driver. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Probably when we get everyone actually using. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

I think in 2015, with the number of unlocked phones in the marketplace, that Sprint should know enough to determine in advance if they will allow the device on their network, get a device before launch to determine how to activate the handset, and get the information to tech support and store associates before launch. I still expect hiccups in the early going as people get used to the process, but would expect that each person involved would know how to escalate the process to find someone in the know who can solve it within a couple of hours.

How long have you been waiting for your IMEI to be whitelisted? Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Thanks. I need to stop and get one this week. Want the right one in hand when my phone arrives. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

You have that sim and it's working in your MXPE on Sprint? Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Don't forget that there's sometimes a price to pay for being an early adopter. The difference a week makes is sometimes the difference between complete frustration and an easy transition. In keeping up with this thread I'm almost glad (not quite...) that mine hasn't yet arrived. That week might just make my life much easier. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Even after that article, they're not expecting it to hit the US. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk

I checked out the Android Central link. I tweeted Phil Nickinson about it to see if they still stand by it. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk

That's for Europe. It doesn't have band 26 for Sprint anyway. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
