So... I've only ever updated radios when they were part of a ROM. How do i update to .15 (that's a radio, right) only? And how do i flash back to my current radios if i have problems? I've done plenty of tweaking of my phones in the past, but i've never actually updated the baseband only...

I think perhaps my compass needed calibration.... i just did it, and it seems to be behaving better...

I've had similar issues unless i turn on wifi while using GPS. It's odd, but i've just learned to turn on wifi if GPS acts up... -d

Seems roughly equivalent to charging on USB, yes.

Nope. But they didn't have the 900s out either. I had to ask, and then ask again about matching the online price ($25 per charger plus an extra 10% off for buying 2). They had to call the manager who approved selling them to me for less since their in-store promotion was $20 each with purchase of a phone. They let me have them at that price even though i wasn't buying a phone - or even an AT&T customer! -d

See my comment above about the Nokia one. It's cheap through AT&T right now and works well.

Yup. Got 2 of them from my local AT&T store for $20 each. Love love LOVE them! One on my desk at work and one next to my bed. I always thought wireless charging was a silly luxury that i'd never take advantage of. Now i can't imagine not having it! -david

Where'd you find the code? I can't find a current one online anywhere...

I saw this deal the other day, but (being the instant-gratification type of guy that i am) i stopped in my local AT&T store to see if they had these in stock and if they could match the online prince. The in-store deal they were running was $20 per Nokia wireless charger. It was supposed to be "with purchase of a Nokia phone", but the manager said he'd sell me 2 for $20 each, so i'm a happy guy. I've never tried wireless charging before, but with the battery life not being as stellar as my Note 2, i decided that having a wireless charger on my desk at work would make a lot of sense, and having one next to my bed would make wrestling the charger away from the phone when i get an early morning phone call or email no longer a problem. So far i'm very happy with these, and they work with my Nexus 7, too! At $20 per charger, how can you lose? -d

Hmmm.. called my best friend and my mom. Both said i sounded no different than usual... Maybe i'm always "broken as all hell"...

32GB white successfully activated and getting LTE

Yay.... i even got the priorities set right!

I'm eagerly awaiting my SIM card's arrival today. I'm wondering if anyone has found out if we can manually activate all 3 of the LTE bands and get tr-band working now. I live in the Chicago area, and it's my understanding that tri-band has been turned on here, so i'd like to try it when my SIM arrives this afternoon. If there's a way to turn it on, how do i know which band i'm using?

Where are you seeing the SIM to activate on your account?

Well... there's also the point about the 32gb version isn't in the Sprint database, so activation isn't possible for these even with a correct SIM...

Mine just got here. My SIM arrives tomorrow. I guess, since i have a 32gb model, it doesn't matter much... WIFI only for me for now...

I just told them that i purchased a Nexus 5 from Google and i needed a SIM. I told her i had contacted them yesterday and they sent out the wrong SIM (a 2FF) and i needed to get the correct one (a 3FF). She said no problem and put through the order. The only thing that made me slightly unhappy was she said it would take 3-5 business days and wouldn't overnight it. But, i have received a shipping confirmation, and i'm expecting to get it on Tuesday anyway... -d

What you're saying jives with what i experienced and what the rep who sent me the correct (i hope!) SIM today told me. She said that even with the SIM, I may not be able to activate the phone until the 8th since that's when the Nexus 5 will be added to their system. It will be very interesting to see what happens next week...

Try online chat following this link: http://sprintworldwide.custhelp.com/app/chat/chat_launch It worked for me!

Well, with a little advice and support from my new friend Aerxx, i was able to get a Sprint rep to send me a 3FF SIM card. I'll have it by Wednesday. Unfortunately, my Nexus 5 (and the incorrect 2FF SIM) will arrive on Monday... Still, at least that part of the nightmare is over! -d

I'm hoping the dude in the Willowbrook store who took down my name and number will call me Monday to say that he's holding a SIM card for me, but i'm not holding my breath. Aerxx - since it looks like we live in the same neck-of-the-woods, please let me know if and where you find a SIM, and i'll do the same for you.

Of course Sprint is being VERY efficient. Turns out the my WRONG SIM is scheduled to be delivered to my home on the same UPS truck as my Nexus 5. If it was the correct SIM, i'd be excited, but now i'm just annoyed...

Mine has made it to the local UPS hub. I'm tempted to go into UPS My Choice and change the delivery to "Hold for will-call" and see if they call me to let me pick it up today. However, i'm afraid i'd screw myself over and end up having to wait until after-hours Monday or Tuesday... Does anyone know the answer to this questions: assuming the Nexus 5 doesn't come with an activatabe SIM and Sprint repair centers don't have SIMs when the phones start showing up on Monday, would there be any harm in activating the device online? I'd assume it'd work over 3G and with voice, and when a SIM is available, it'd turn on LTE, right? -david

*Sigh* I guess i'll wait and see what comes in from Google and from Sprint and if the guy at the store calls me back. If they can't/won't correct your order, I'm sure i'm in the same boat. Here's hoping that Google actually ships these with SIMs that Sprint will activate... NOT holding my breath.....

This is a complete cluster****. My order is also for a 2FF. I'll be watching intently to see what happens with you before i proceed. I wish Sprint would have people ready for this. If I wasn't a much of a tech-geek, i could see ordering this from Google and assuming that i could just activate it easily on Sprint rather than planning ahead with the help of this site.
