Test it out yourself?

Sorry I just saw that another thread is already going about this, please delete this one.

Sooo if you just got it and activated it with Sprint, did you root and then try it out?

Have some hope, many people who bought when it said 4-5 weeks have had their order shipped already. I'm not saying it's going to happen, just a possibility.
That would be great, I'm never that lucky, I'm enjoying the nexus 5 port for now.

[Q]Tethering issues??

So on my nexus 4 i could tether everywhere and anywhere and not get charged. Now i got the nexus 5 and its asking me for a tethering plan??
Does it have something to do with the rom? I had a custom one on the nexus4 here im on stock.

Which carrier / country? You may need to update a .db file if you're trying to tether on TMO prepaid.

Short lived life for my nexus 5

I have had a bad experience with T-Mobile witch is causing me to sell my nexus 5 . since I have a grand father plan unlimited data T-Mobile said they don't support my nexus 5 until I change my plan to a new one with throttles. As much as I love her its up for sale. 32gb nexus 5 . just thought I'll share ..why is T-Mobile doing this !!!

FYI, I read a while ago that tmo plans to move every one off of those plans and "bring them into current pricing." Might be worth keeping the phone and just changing to a current plan. You can still get unlimited w/no throttling. I have unlimited every thing for $70 w/ no contract and I don't think anything is throttled. You would have to do it at some point, might as well look at what will work for you. Good luck!

T-Mobile still has unlimited data without throttling, why not go with that?

This. i dont understand what you mean by unsupported.
my nexus 5 works quite fine on tmobile.
How much are you selling it for?:silly:
How would T-Mobile even know what phone you are using? I mean obviously it will show on the network but I highly doubt they are flagging nexus 5 phones and making sure only some people are using them.

I was expecting there to be pictures of a smashed Nexus 5 because it got run over by a car or something.

Sprint Data During Call

Was wondering if there is a way to have 3g or lte active during a call I know on my s3 and note 2 it was thanks
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
you can't those 2 phones were part of the last batch of phones for sprint that could. I used to love that my s3 could do that.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Nope. It is sad really. Until Sprint can implement VoLTE we're stuck.

Thank you for your help that's what I thought was just wanting to make sure there wasn't something I was missing

Well ****, maybe it was just me recalling doing that with my old S4? I just tried it and no go. You're right.

The N5 radio only has one transmission path for voice or data
If you're using data while on the phone your using wifi

Not on TMobile, but they don't fake their numbers..must be a Sprint thing.../snort. Very odd.
This is the first time it's done it. So funny.

Never happened on any of the six N5 I used (EU model, D821), nor on my 2012 N7 3G.
I haven't seen this issue on N5.
It happened to me once when I had Galaxy Nexus.
I think it depends on the server where you are downloading from.
In this particular case it seems to be google play.
Are you using any apps to get to the market? I know people from outside of US are using them.
