Walmart & Nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will Walmart be selling the nexus 5? How would that even work? ( i still have the old plan *classic plan*) when i did my last upgrade this year (one time payment) $168.99 for the galaxy S4 (T-mobile) and i continued with the old plan now my mom is due for an upgrade I'm gonna give her my s4 and use the upgrade for the Nexus 5... But has anyone heard anything about Walmart carrying the Nexus 5?
Thanks in advance.. =]

My guess is that they will. I'd say look for something around Christmas or maybe black Friday.

Just saw Nexus 5 boxes in a Black Friday commercial but they didn't specifically mention it.

Just called my local Walmart and they said they don't do T-Mobile contract anymore... Just pre-paid... ={ but they said they have no idea about the nexus 5... Has anyone else called??

I actually work at Walmart. No, we won't be carrying the Nexus 5. If we do, it would only be through Sprint.

Upgrade or wait?

I am due for an upgrade soon from at&t. Is it worth it to get the nexus s or wait to see when the galaxy nexus will come to at&t?

Nexus S is old at this point. If you want then wait for the Galaxy Nexus but if you don't want to wait then get a Galaxy S II.

Also money is the other issue I forgot to mention. So even though it might be old is it worth it for free with the contract upgrade?

At this point, I would be hesitant to lock in to 2 more years with a Nexus S. It's a good phone but even for free, I don't think I would want it after another year or so.
I just sold my Nexus S today. Got a Galaxy Nexus

I checked with my local stores. Some want to take it in for $100 SGD and $200.

buy a nexus s off contract if you really want one, I picked up mine for $100 off craigslist. Had the gs2 for a few weeks and didnt like it, just too big and the UI isnt bad but just prefer stock android. Still have my iphone 4 unlocked which Ill probably sell and wait for the next new toy.
Nexus s, think this is my third one now. Love the size and feel of the phone! ICS is very solid and a good over haul for android.
Buy a nexus straight out. They are cheap enough now. Keep it for a year then get the nexus 4 when it comes out.

Even better haggle the price / contract term down or get the galaxy s3. At least you can mock the s2 guys with it

How about a $104,000(!!!) Case?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00B7QGT6U/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
I don't know if this has been posted before, but I've been looking for a case that is Minimal and still shows off the back of the phone. I came across this one and went to look at the prices available... than I looked at the last option... $104,921.73!!!!! I HOPE this is a seller error... I really do hope... I just thought this was funny and I would share with fellow Nexus 4/XDAers. Have a good one.
Actually it says $13,99.
Or maybe the dollar devaluated again...
Edit: OMG just saw it! What a silly way to say you're out of stock...

look at the bottom^^
Got mine yesterday! Great case i have to say. Highly recomended!!! :good:
And they have the nerve to charge 5ยข... Lol
Ehh the rest of the shipping and handling cost is in there somewhere!

I was thinking if ANY case is that much it better have an extra 3,000mh (if that's the right abbreviation) battery built in, signal boosters for both WiFi and Cell Data/Radio, pure diamond and/or hardened steel, light-weight, and have an extra voice assistant that knows you by name and balances your checkbook.
Side note, I am thinking about this case but does it add a lot of extra bulk to the device?

Possibly buy it then try to get a refund through that place? Sounds like a plan

[Q] Nexus 5 on Verizon(Big Red)

I know the Nexus 5 has LTE support, but I just wanted to be sure before I purchase it, that it'll be usable on Verizon. Always wanted a Nexus device!

Won't work with Verizon they are of control freeks

Definitely a no go on Verizon. Pretty much everyone offers LTE now, and the Nexus 5 works with all of them... except Verizon.

I bet Little Red will get it next year... that's one of the reasons I switched carriers.
Seriously. Thanks guys! I was an inch away from buying it. Hopefully Verizon pulls the stick out of their asses and brings the Nexus 5 over. I get the feeling they just don't want a device of such a caliber to be sold through them at such a low price. Needless to say however, if the Nexus 5 comes over to Verizon, I'll have to retire my HTC DNA. Love it, but the Nexus 5 is such a sexy phone >.<

Jesus. Going with Verizon was the BIGGEST mistake of my life.

I ordered 2 nexus 5s and going to play ETFs and never touch Verizon again

So, what's the basis for the incompatibility? Is the Nexus 5 just flat-out incapable of working on Verizon if I were to plug in a Verizon SIM?
Will Google have to make another version of the 5, or is this something that can be rolled out with a firmware update?
I've given up trying to understand Verizon's customer satisfaction strategy, but want to understand the nuts and bolts of why it won't work on their network.

Yeah, I bought a 32GB version today too only to find out that it will not be compatible on VZW. Luckily, my contract is up pretty soon, I think. I plan on going to my VZW store and finding out the exact date. But yeah, I'm hopping off of VZW as soon as possible. I'm so sick of their nonsense. AT&T Straight Talk, here I come!

How to activate a nexus 5 bought thru Google play on T mobile

Hey all. This may sound like a noob question but I've been on sprint for YEARS and I'm totally new to t mobile and gsm devices (I'm thrilled about the change tho). Anyhow, I'm wondering, what's the process to activate a nexus 5 that I buy thru Google play onto t mobile? T mobile hasn't started selling it yet and I'd like to order it NOW. I already have a t mobile Sim card and it fits/works with the nexus 4. What else besides just popping the Sim card in would I have to do?
Thanks in advance!

That's about it, pop it in and turn it on. Should work right off the bat.

H*ly cr*p! Are you serious? It's that easy? Why the hell would anyone wait for t mobile to start selling it? Also, if I get the device from Google BEFORE t mobile starts selling it, you think it'll still work on the network?
Thanks a lot.

Yes it will work even if tmobile has not started selling it yet.

This is awesome news. I just have ONE more concern. If it's not shipping for weeks or something, will Google charge my credit card right away, or not until it ships?
And finally, what's the return policy? I don't wanna return it but if for whatever reason I can't sell my note 3 I may have to.
Thanks again guys!

They will not charge you until it actually ships.
They have a 15 day return policy, but if there is nothing wrong with it you'll pay return shipping.
I ordered it. Yay!!!!! I've never ordered a nexus device straight from Google. So exciting!!!!

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.

I read it wrong, sorry. Yeah trade it. If you don't like it, sell it, buy the N5 again, and make money.

It will,but I did the same thing last year with the N4. I traded an iPhone 5 for one. Bad mistake, yes, but not a scam.
