AIO Question

My Nexus will be here tomorrow and I'm wanting to sign up with AIO's $60 plan. On their site it is asking for an IMEI. My concern is that the new Nexus IMEI may not be compatible with their 4g network. Has anyone else had success with AIO? I don't want to be stuck on 3g. Should I be seeking an IMEI from another device as a work-around? If so, what device, and where? My current phone is a 1st gen HTC Evo with sprint. Any help and advice is much appreciated!

Ive been wondering the same thing also.

They're using AT&T's network, I'm on it right now and get HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE. Works 100% fine. Used the same SIM card on my nexus 4 and had great service.

I've also wondered if AIO's LTE (AT&T) will work on the N5. So you have the N5 and it is working no problem? How are the speeds on LTE and HSPA+ (yes i know they throttle, just wondering how it feels)??

Unfortunately i don't have have a Sim to swap. I'm wondering if I order one using the IMEI from the new Nexus 5 will I be able to access 4g? Or will I be bumped to 3g because the Nexus 5 does not show up in their system?

Using Aio SIM from my N4 with not so good reception where I live and getting decent speed.
FYI, the N4 wasn't in their system either and needed the EMEI to activate.

Activating a nexus 5 on aio will be a cake walk. Nothing like the problems people over on sprint are having.

I hope so. I can't wait to ditch sprint

Simultaneous voice and data on 3g?

I know the s3 had it but it went away with the s4. I wonder if the s5 will have it. I know you can get simultaneous voice and data over LTE, but can it be done on 3g?

You will not be able to talk and surf over 3G or 4G LTE.
The GS5 is a Sprint Spark phone and only has one transmission path and therefore can only either connect to LTE or CDMA never both. Sorry, but it does help for battery life.

This sucks.

Yep. What a downgrade!

That stinks. I can use my 4G while on the phone now with my Evo3D and would like to be able to use it while on a call on my next phone and was really thinking about the S5 for my upgrade. What to do now...

It seems all new phones are on this unfortunate track... You won't be able to avoid it.
Triband is supposed to be the future, but they are going backwards

I would imagine until we have voice over LTE that won't come back on spark devices.

Is VoLTE coming with HD voice this summer or does that just step up what it's currently using?
I'm on my phone a lot in the car and while using navigation and streaming music. So if I ever need to re-route or want to change to a playlist I don't have stored, it kind of sucks.

Talk and LTE 2.5 (spark)
This is the most backwards idea ever. I noticed in the first 5 mins of buying my phone. Highly upset about this! Not that I talk on the phone and use data at the same time a lot, but I would like to have the choice. Something that was not talked about in the weeks after the unveiling of the S5.

i dont do it either...but when im using bluetooth and on hold, i dont mind playing with the internet....so backwards!!

Most of us have unlimited data on sprint. Google voice integrates well with sprint. So an option would be to set up google voice, and then use a third party app such as phone for google voice. I don't have s5 yet, so can't try it. still on s3.
if anyone wants to try it, then you can report back on how well it works. I have used it overseases using a 3g connection with mixed results. Sometimes worked well, sometimes not.

Hmm with sprint I can't surf the Web at all no data when on a call I understand 3g no data but I was told on spark or lte I can is this true?

We have a spark device ....so we are basically sol . Past devices worked with lte. I believe all of sprints new devices will work in this manner. Until spark is updated to to allow this feature.

App to use hotspot with unlimited data

I am getting ready to root my phone (4.4.3, NE1) mainly because I've heard if I do so I can enable the mobile hotspot feature without using foxfi and its certificate, etc. Is this true - do I need some special app for this?

Certain ROMs have it built in

They can't use most roms as they are on a locked bootloader, they are very limited. As far as tethering I know Foxfi works but I have no use for it

T-Mobile is Unlock App Rocks

Not sure if this can go here but I was having problems unlocking my Note 5 on T-Mobile, I am financing it but I have had it on my account account for more than 45 days and every time I used the unlock appreciate it would error out well I called T-Mobile and I decided to trying while I was on hold and BAM it unlocked, so I was able permanent unlock KY T-Mobile Note 5 sexyness, which is awesome the app took a little loving to work but it did eventually and now I can use my AT&T Sim when I'm out in the boonies.

That's odd - You aren't supposed to be able to unlock until the device is paid for.

I just tried it and it permanently unlocked mine too! Woot!

Confirmed on mine and my wife's phone too. That's hilarious.

I'm disagreeing at all, but I believe they do say in the fine print you can as long as the phone has been on your line for 45 days
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

is this the "device unlock" app from playstore?
I tried using that one and it told me that my device is not compatible.

Confirm worked on both of my Note 5, but not work on my S6 edge

To those who had the app work, are your phones rooted? I wonder if it matters. Mine is fully paid off but was paid for and used very briefly by someone on Swappa. It hasn't been on my line for 45 days yet and is rooted; the app is saying my device isn't compatible.

No I'm not rooted and you cant be it seems and yes you have to have your phone on your line for 45 days or more active
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Mine are not rooted. Also, it wont work if you use wifi connection to request unlock.

I don't see any device unlock app on play worth the try , witch is it ?

Do you know if we were to uproot and go back to stock if it would then work since root is being removed?

I'm not exactly sure worth a try.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

well i bought my note phone in the USA (currently in europe) and they unlocked it for me but with root.
And when i try to use this application it either sais failure in procedure or unknow reason.
the phone is fully paid off... so should i reflash the stock version and then try the application to see if i can unlock it (and yes i have my tmobile sim with me)

[Q] Is it possible to buy factory unlocked note 5, root it, then use on Verizon?

So, title says it all. Is it possible to buy a factory unlocked note 5 (like say...perhaps from Ebay), root it and then use it on Verizon?

Yea but you might not get 4glte only 3g, why would you do that though when the Verizon note 5 has already been rooted?

Thank you for your quick response. I haven't seen where the Verizon variant has been rooted. Do you have a link?

iroot doesn't work for Verizon and in the second link it doesn't work for Verizon, either.

Yah your right I didn't fully read through the comments, u can use a T-Mobile for Verizon I did it for the note 4 before it got rooted and worked on Verizon without 4g, but I was getting really fast 3g speeds at least 10/20 mbps, the note 4 is also a great phone that is rooted on verizon

Thnx. I was considering the Note 4 but am quite frustrated with how Verizon is trying to lock us down lately. While I've had Samsung devices for a long time, I'm now thinking about the Nexus 6P...

I would go with nexus for sure or one plus devixe, but the note 4 retail editions have now all been successful in converting to developer editions witch is really dope, it brought life back to my device.
