Hi i was just wondering if anyone knows how to get the nexus 5 fully working with verizon network. Thinking about ordering one tonight. Thanks in advance.
Seriously?
There are several threads on this topic already. A mod is not going to like this.
Answer, No.
Bro search before posting. There's already a thread on this. And so far it's cr*p. I bought an N5 to use it on Verizon. I'm gonna a try a couple tricks(don't ask please) and if it doesn't work then I'm off to Tmo or sell it for the Moto X.

Oooh yah I felt really dumb about that to be honest. :/
I got frustrated with my Gnex for a sec and I'm like screw this I'm gonna save others from defects from the Nexus 5 and then made the thread without any thought. But the other defect thread isn't very organized(at least at glance). The OP isn't updated with all the defects. U literally have to search through 50+ pages of post.

So it doesn't look good for the N5. I'm selling my 32gb unlocked sealed in the box. Thinking about HTC one or MotoX?

Of course he didn't. There are so many people that like to think that people will worship them fro trying but they actually have no idea where to start.this is a classic example, never a reply, saying it worked or didn't.

I've been checking for system updates constantly. Nothing drives me more insane than seeing that "Your system is up to date" when I check. I have yelled at my phone multiple times "NO, IT'S NOT!"

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but...you can't manually check for an update on this one. Sprint said that it will be pushed to your device when it's your turn. Which means...expect it some time later this week if you haven't gotten it already.

That's what we're waiting for. Without a doubt, there are people out there that have JB for their NS4Gs, but they wouldn't have any clue how to upload a zip, or wouldn't care for that matter. For them it's just a routine update, to iron out a bug or two. How many end users do you think even know what project butter is??? Probably just us.
Just make sure that if you get that update, to take your Logcat so someone on here can get the file from the URL.

I dunno man.... I think most people that still rock a Nexus S is this community. I only know one other person who has a Nexus S... And he's a very techie kinda guy. Most everyone else upgraded a while ago... And they're still jealous of my old phone with its speed on jb.

Just wonderin
Forgive my ignorance here, I haven't owned a nexus device since the galaxy nexus (toro) and my last 3 devices were the Note 2, S4 and HTC One, which are completely different worlds from a Nexus.
Secondly I do apologize if this has been asked and answered before but I just traded my phone in (HTC One) and switched from Verizon to T-Mobile and got the Nexus 5....are all hammerhead ROMs the same or should I be on the look out for specific ROMs for the T-Mobile version only?

I am one of those people as you can tell by my number of thanked posts...I expect the same courtesy no matter what the question, big or small. It did not harm anyone.

You'd have been better served to hold onto the HTC One during your switch and sold it yourself. They were only offering up $120 credit for trade in, and the phone still pulls upwards of $300.
I made the switch this past weekend, and selling the phone outright took care of the ETF VZW will charge + put an add'l $100 in my pocket.
Moot point now, I suppose, but hopefully for anyone else looking to take advantage of T-Mo's deal, make sure you know the value of your phone!

How did you even get a One Max with ATT? But no, probably not. You can sell that phone on ebay or swappa or something else for more than $350.

Time will tell..
My phone is rooted, has CM11, and also have a badly cracked screen/digitizer. I'm debating if it's malware or just the digitizer. I've ran AVG and Malwarebytes and nothing shows up. Coming here to see what you guys think.
My phone keeps clicking random ****, so that's why I'm asking.
Malware can't crack your screen.

From Googling, people are stating $130 with waiting 1.5 weeks to 3 weeks.
Don't have an extra phone, so getting it fixed where I'm located might be a better.

It doesn't work. CF Auto Root requires an unlocked bootloader as it temporarily flashes a custom recovery.

Dude that really sucks you can't get decent signal on sprint in your area. Sooner or later vzw and at&t are going to realize that their bs is driving their customers away in droves. It really has a special way of pissing me off knowing I dropped all this money on these phones and I can't even do what I want with them. It's almost like going to a furniture store and buying a recliner and then that store owner dictating certain times I'm allowed to sit in that recliner, what times I'm allowed to put the foot rest up, what I'm allowed to do while sitting in it, and then being forced to sit in it with the store owner at the same time, and then being forced to wait a year to be able to buy a new slipcover for it.
That's just my example of comparing to vzw and their locked bootloaders, insane bloatware, ridiculously long-delayed updates and ridiculous push notifications, (vvm anyone?).
I really hope you get the dev edition if you can't switch and then I hope you torture the ever living hell out of vzw with it!
Best of luck to you my friend!
