Short lived life for my nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

[Q] About the Nexus 5 forums.

I am thinking of dropping my grandfathered unlimited data from AT&T and moving to T-Mobile. Is this the forums for the T-Mobile version of the Nexus 5 or all Nexus 5's.

all nexus 5, theres no tmobile nexus 5 xda forums.
All nexus 5's are the same whether you buy it at the T-Mobile store, Sprint store, Google Play or Best Buy. All roms work, all kernels work. No need for more than one forum.

To clarify, there are 2 models of the Nexus 5. D820 for North America and D821 for Rest of the world.
Same ROMs, Same Kernels, NOT same radios.

Thanks!

I don't wanna make a post about leaving but this devices thread has just been so awesome and has taught me so much over the past year and a half I feel I need to just say thank you all for the wonderful experiences and I only hope the note 3 thread is at least half as good as this one.

It's getting slightly depressing to see so many of our HOXL friends moving on. Enjoy the Note 3

Hey. It's alright to say goodbye. Especially when it's followed up with a thanks to the community. This thread has been awesome. I have to admit that I'm surprised this thread is still so active to say HTC (may have) forgot about us. Enjoy your Note 3. I hear it's an awesome device. Waiting for the new ONE myself
Yeah its awesome but att locked the bootloader tight so all I can really do is root.

I'm considering to drop att for tmo and buy note 3 or g flex

I was gonna do the same but I would have had to port my third line over and it would cost way more then I was paying now plus 120 for the note 3 but I just upgraded to next and got it for free and my bill is 10 dollars cheaper a month

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.
