  1. Has anyone had an issue with "Network connection error. Please try again" message? I have this continuously on my Samsung S5. At least for me it appears to be tied to encrypting the phone. It worked until I encrypted the phone then I just get this error. To test that theory I decrypted and it started to work again, encrypted and stopped. Even tried a factory reset and same result.
  2. Just went to check white 32GB on Best Buy and it comes up at $299 instead of $199, and it is not the Edge version either. I assume it is a typo they will fix
  3. At Nationals playoff game last night. Sell out crowd and tested 45 MB down and 15 up. Uploaded lots of pictures and had a video chat with no problems
  4. Band 26 in Sterling. First time I have connected in Loudoun county
  5. Connected to Band 26 LTE in Vienna, VA this morning at the Vienna Inn. No number but the signal strength according to the bars was fairly low, however it was very usable for data (no speed test but was downloading & uploading pictures)
  6. Haven't received the update yet. Has anyone noticed any improvement to the GPS performance?
  7. I am in Dulles and Ashburn area and when my LG G2 received the Spark update last week I started receiving some good LTE (band 41 mostly). In some parts of Ashburn I was getting almost 50 MB downloads. So hopefully things are improving quickly.
  8. After my G2 received the Spark update I was surprised to see it is now always connected to LTE at home when I never had any LTE before. Very weak signal though. -120. Turns out it is connecting to band 41. Didn't even know that was possible yet in my area which is northern VA in Ashburn
  9. Was hoping the update would fix the swiping to answer issue, but sounds like not yet. I returned the phone already, but am watching to see the fix come through before buying another one.
  10. Thanks. Did you previously have an issue answering calls when connected to LTE and now it is fixed?
  11. Although I have returned my phone to Google I was curious if anyone having the problem where you cannot answer an incoming call when connected to LTE has seen any resolution to the issue yet. I was not able to get any help from either Sprint or Google. When this issue is sorted out I was going to consider buying the phone again. Thanks
  12. When I have the issue I am connected to LTE with a strong signal and get great data speeds.
  13. I agree it is likely software and will be fixed at some point. Might buy the phone again at some point. If it were a smaller problem I could wait but answering the phone is a big problem for me.
  14. For anyone that has this problem just wanted to provide an update on what I found out, which isn't much. Sprint has not offered any potential solutions and on Google product forums other people are having this issue and not just on Sprint network. Google said to try safe mode and my problem still occurs when connected to LTE. Hopefully this is fixed soon since there was a lot I liked about this phone, but for now it is on its way back to Google. Back to my reliable EVO LTE for a while. Good luck to anyone with this issue
  15. For anyone like myself that has the problem where the phone rings OK for an incoming call but you cannot answer and the phone then locks up I don't know why it is happening but I think I know under what conditions it happens. At home I only get 3g and never have this problem. At work I am continuously connected to LTE and this problem occurs often, maybe half the time. When my phone is set to 3g only the problem stops. So, does anyone have an idea why when connected to LTE an incoming call cannot be answered? Both Google and Sprint do not know and Google wants to replace the phone. I suspect it is more of a software issue rather than the phones hardware but maybe someone more knowledgeable has an idea. Thanks
  16. Just wanted to report that per instructions from Google I performed a full reset on the phone and the unable to answer problem still occurs from time to time. The behavior on mine seems unrelated to the touchscreen contact not being correct since I can see the green answer icon highlight when I drag it over. Basically the phone won't work as a phone for me and they have no idea what it is so back it goes to Google. I did like the phone otherwise but the basic functionality of using it as a phone is essential.
  17. Thanks. I am going to assume it will get fixed with the other changes. My home is in the DC area and fortunately LTE works very good here on the Nexus 5, but I do travel often and it would be nice if this issue is fixed soon.
  18. I appreciate all the information here and understand most of the reason why I did not get LTE on a recent trip through PA with my Nexus 5, and I am willing to be patient for the fixes since it seems like they are being worked. I do have one question that maybe someone can answer. While going through PA (Gettysburg, Harrisburg, Hershey), which I presume is a Shentel market mostly upgraded, I didn't get LTE, but also I could not connect to 3G. My phone only received 1X data the entire time. Is this what others are seeing around there and is it the same problem as no LTE there?
  19. Yes, I am having the exact same issue. Thought it only did it when screen was locked but after further testing it seems random. Contacted Google last night and they said they I am the only one that has that issue. No solution offered other than factory reset which I am actually trying now. If that doesn't work I will return the phone
  20. I do like the Nexus 5 and understand why there are issues on the Sprint network and don't nave anything negative to say regarding this. I have decided for me that I am going back to my old phone for now and returning the Nexus 5. I don't know if this is appropriate in this forum and apologize in advance but I would be willing to sell to someone here rather than return if anyone wants it. 32gb white in perfect condition.
  21. I tried searching for this problem but cannot find information. My Nexus 5 will not answer regular phone calls from most phone. What happens is the phone rings but when I go to answer by dragging too the answer icon it doesn't do anything. The person on the other end eventually gets my voicemail. Worse yet, my phone never gets out of this state and needs to be rebooted. It seems that calls from other cell phones work, but all calls from landlines have this behavior. Any ideas? Anyone else having issues similar. Basically my phone is not a phone.
  22. Nexus 5, 32 GB In DC area, my home, great LTE performance where complete In Harrisburg, PA area no LTE, no 3g and always showed 1x only In Syracuse, NY, 3g with some good LTE where it is turned on so far I have not modified phone in any way
  23. Has anyone had experience with the Nexus 5 in a Shentel area? I live in the DC area and the LTE performance has been great there. Yesterday I traveled through Gettysburg and Harrisburg expecting great LTE there as well especially since my old EVO LTE worked good there. Not only did I not connect to any LTE, I could not even connect to 3g. The entire time the phone had a 1x icon displayed and Signal Check confirmed only 1x. PRL and profile updated. I expected possible LTE issues but not 3g
  24. I received and activated my Nexus 5, 32 GB version last night and LTE fortunately has been performing great, much better than my old phone which was a EVO LTE. I didn't do anything special.I am in the DC area if that helps
