Flashed the factory image last night. Wow this thing still has that issue where you have to update prl to get mms to download. Was hoping that would get patched up for the final release. 

I've been considering installing it but I've heard some of the standard Google Apps are missing like Chrome and I Google play music. Is it stable?

You can download everything else off the play store. 

Do we know if there is a new radio?

I have a .21 at the end of my baseband. 

The Lollipop preview images are up. 

MMS works!!

Saw this while searching on youtube.

Walk off the bridge -- or step back off the ledge?

Step back! Definitely not walk off.

Thanks for posting, time to walk off the bridge. 

Does google have a tech support number to get a replacement? Or is the email option good enough to get a replacement. I cracked the screen its only a minor top left corner but meh its an eye sore.

Man, a real bummer if sprint doesnt get this phone close to the release/at all. 

I have a question, thought this would be the right place to ask. 

So a couple days ago I'm riding the train with my SO (she uses T-mobile), we're both trying to download an app. Her phone (nexus 4) starts on edge for the download, then mid download it all of a sudden switches to hspa and finishes on hspa. I've never seen this happen to me on sprint. Just wondering if it's a technical limitation or a software choice. Why can't you switch between 3g and lte while you're downloading something?

Are we still holding our breath for the 29th?

Does sprint still charge that $36 when you buy full priced phones from the sprint store?

When does the phone come out?

Did that destroy the battery life on, for example, the HTC One M7 and Samsung Galaxy S4?

I owned an m7 before my n5 and my battery life was terrible. Can't speak to the gs4, never owned one for a while. 

You probably would have never thought that the Nexus 5 would have supported as many bands as it did, either. Supporting more LTE bands is not really all that difficult. The difficult thing for them was adding B41 last time, yet they did. All the Sprint bands are supersets of other bands except B41. No need to worry.

That's true, hopefully they keep coming back with em and if they do hopefully LTE preforms better on it in Chicago. 

edit: also looking for better battery life. man I sound like a spoiled 16 year old who's parents bought her the wrong color bmw.

Is there a consensus on what Qualcomm chipset the Nexus 6 will use?  The latest evidence/rumor is that it will be the Snapdragon 805, which is the APQ8084.  Since it is an APQ not an MSM, it has no cellular baseband on chip.  That means back to two chipsets -- it has to be paired with an MDM, likely the Category 6 MDM9635/MDM9235.

 

And therein lies the rub.  The MDM9635 is 3GPP/3GPP2, while the MDM9235 is 3GPP only.  The Gobi modems come in a 3GPP only option, while the Snapdragon MSM chipsets typically are 3GPP/3GPP2 -- even for AT&T and T-Mobile handsets, for example.  With the MSM8974, the Nexus 5 had CDMA2000 capability on board, regardless.  But with a possible APQ8084 + MDM9235 pairing, Sprint could get shut out of the Nexus 6.

Would using 2 chips destroy the battery life?

I'm pretty pessimistic about sprint getting the nexus 6. Assuming the 6 has the same lte bands the 5 has + the new tmobile lte band = Too many bands for a single device to have. 

Maybe my thinking is flawed but I just cant see it. 

Also, this thing better have a 3000 mAh battery.  

For Chicago, I'd go with the stock 2.x.x.x.16 radio. Best Spark friendly radio. 

Really? I feel like my pos nexus sits on 3g often with the stock 4.4.4 radio. Thanks for the advice though. I'll continue to use the stock radio.

Do older radios work on the new bands? or is it straight 4.4.3 and later radios only?

MMS works for me with the Hello app. (L)

What's the general consensus on which is the best radio on 4.4.4? Or is it your milage may vary on the radios still?

Just sent a mms to myself from L and it worked

Really? Were you on 3g? LTE? Wifi? I ended up getting the mms but it wouldn't download. 

MMS isn't working for me on L release. Anyone else?

I think I'm in a mature market and I'm seeing a lot of 3g. An airplane mode toggle usually puts me back on lte but noone wants to do that every time. 

Come on of course there is a difference, if the g3 went down to 4.9 compared to the 5.2 on the g2 would you be saying its only .3 of an inch?  Probably not.

Never thought of it like that. 

What?

That we're still waiting.

This is ridiculous. 

Is there a pattern, like a certain day of the week google likes to do their updates on?
