[Nexus 5 General] PaulB007:
Sorry to whine, but I had to share how bad of an experience I have had with this phone on Sprint and was curious what advice you could all offer. Basically I bought the black 16gb version on google play. I was told by Google via telephone that day when I get the phone to just call in or bring it to sprint to activate it. Well after an hour on the phone they don't know what to do and tell me to wait until November 8th. This is silly as others have had it working.

after getting disconnected about 3 times with sprint trying to activate the phone, I later learn that I need a sim card, which is disclosed no where. I was never told about this and had to research it ON MY OWN to even learn about this. I hear that it's also difficult to get one and that you may get push back on it.

Then I learned my speaker was dead on arrival, so now I am waiting for a replacement phone of which they can't promise me free two day shipping which I paid for in the first place, only to receive a defective phone. What the hell? Oh and I had to call back because I never got my confirmation and make a whole new claim. Now my order is stuck as a pending status and who knows how long it will take to ship.

I have to ask, how in gods name can sprint say they support a phone but have no information or literature out there to support the phone? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!.

I worry I bought a 400 paper weight that I'll never get working.
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
So I don't get it, are you upset that your RMA is taking ages due to a defective speaker or because sprint couldn't activate it on time?

What if they had activated it, the speaker would have been defective anyway, right?
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
It always fascinates me that consumers in this country (and others I'm sure) have reached a point where they expect everything to be spoonfed to them and that they should have no responsibility in actually researching or learning about something they're about to spend $400 on. Do we as a society just have too much disposable income? I acknowledge that $400 isn't what it used to be but still, if you're concerned that you might be unhappy with your purchase, how much of the onus is on you for not knowing what it was you were buying in the first place?
[Nexus 5 General] Zepius:
if you have alot of disposable income, i have setup the Zepius is poor fund, which is always accepting donations.

back on topic, its sprint dude... they've always sucked.
[Nexus 5 General] hammester:
It sounds to me like it's a combination of both and he is just really frustrated at this point. I understand completely as just have to talk with Sprint CS is infuriating enough.
[Nexus 5 General] eep2378:
Instead wasting time on the phone with incompetent CSR's, why don't you just bring the phone to your local sprint store grab a sim and be done with it?
[Nexus 5 General] mb3030:
ummm you didnt know that you needed a sim for the phone?? really??
[Nexus 5 General] mrro82:
How could you not know you needed a SIM card? These things don't magically connect to every network on the planet.
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
Every phone needs a SIM card to make calls, use 3G/4G, send texts etc. mate - you've been living in the dark ages or something? :p
[Nexus 5 General] cabagekiller:
Sprint and Verizon back in the day did not need the Sim card.
[Nexus 5 General] kenjiwing:
Didnt know the phone needs a sim card.. must have been a apple user.
[Nexus 5 General] TheFluffyOne:
Sounds unfortunate, but hardly the "worst customer experience ever". I didn't see a single mention of soapy frogs... ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Enddo:
i thought verizon didn't use sim cards
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
I never understand why some people don't just go into the store. Unless they are rural and they can't get there. Thebsims are in the store and can be activated on the spot. Sucks about you r phone but do some research next time.
[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
Right and wrong. Carriers that use CDMA for 3G such as Verizon and Sprint don't need SIM cards to activate devices on their CDMA network. If you want to use LTE on those networks however, a SIM card is required. This is because LTE is technically a GSM technology. Not that his post is any less incorrect, I'm just posting to inform.
[Nexus 5 General] five40:
LTE - SIM

3G & WIMAX - No SIM

My SIM is being delivered tomorrow along with my 32GB Nexus 5.

Looking forward to the headaches getting it activated.
[Nexus 5 General] kangxi:
You shouldn't be upset the RMA. Trust me, it will come very quickly and you won't pay for shipping on it. I did it with the Nexus 4 on Wednesday, it was in my hand on Friday.
[Nexus 5 General] QWIKSTRIKE:
You "MUST" research everything you buy or this is what will happen. I ordered my 32g yester after only researching to find out that it will work on Sprint. It took a few hours of search, but in that time I ordered the Simm that I researched that it needed from Sprint via international chat for free. It was back ordered and my phone won't ship until Nov 22 anyway so hopefully it will be ready by then. I also ordered this case which should be here before the phone.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FORK3SI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You can't blame Sprint for not knowing about a device that won't be available until the 8th for activation early now can you. Those that got it early and activated it early should feel that it is a privilege for this to happen. In your case you could have gotten it activated had you thought outside the box. There are tons of Threads about how to activate these all over the internet!
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Nor a bottomless diving suit
[Nexus 5 General] hammester:
I can blame them when very few stores actually have Sim cards in stock. If you go to any ATT and Tmobile store I guarantee they have Sim's in stock. It's not like this is the only phone Sprint accepts on there network that has a sim.
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
Oh right I was unaware of this. I live in UK you see, we've always used SIM cards.

Man that sucks for you guys. So you can never switch networks on your phone huh?

Apple have always used SIM cards here in UK...
[Nexus 5 General] Eliad Kimhy:
I must say, I disagree with all those who deride the OP for his expectations. Each and every one of us knows what it's like to get a product that has at least *one thing* not working as well as they'd expected, and how it feels like to handle it, or to deal with it.

A malfunctioning speaker, although not unforeseen, can be very frustrating. A carrier that does not know how to handle each and every phone it's supposed to carry is frustrating indeed. Having to wait a few days for phone service is not a trivial thing at all for those of us who rely on their phone.

I can definitely sympathize, and send my hopes to the OP that his issues would be resolved promptly.
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
Though I agree Sprint dropped the ball with this phone and the UICC/SIM card issue this case seems to be a two fold bad luck. Global chat support can send you a SIM or you will be able to pick one up Friday from a sprint owned store listed as a repair center.

Here is the link to get a SIM from people who know what's going on:

http://sprintworldwide.custhelp.com/app/chat/chat_launch

The people who got them early and activated are either lucky, have knowledgeable Sprint retail employees or asked for a GS4/HTC One UICC/SIM instead of one for the Nexus 5. A large numbers of people activating now are receiving their SIMS that they ordered through the chat and the activation is going smoothly. Going directly to a retailer that is a repair center owned by Sprint gives you the best chance. The sales people answering the phones seem to virtually never know what you are talking about and tell you flat out they do not have a SIM for any phone, even without checking their systems. You need to get into a store and talk to a person who knows that Sprint phones use SIM cards, most of the sales people that answer at the stores do not even know this so calling ahead is pointless.
[Nexus 5 General] mevensen:
While I don't necessarily think Sprint has earned "worst" in this case, they don't exactly come off clean, either. In my view, the biggest problem is that people are (apparently) using the same processes to interact with Sprint, but are getting widely varying results. That is not good CSR. All I can say is that it IS possible to activate your phone with Sprint. So if you don't find someone who can help you right away, check that you are following the same path others have used, call back or reconnect to chat. I have been very fortunate that my chat sessions have been with helpful and knowledgeable CSRs who were patient and got the job done. That may be luck, or it may have been seeking the correct point of access in the first place. Don't call Sprint at any access point -- read the forums and follow the path, that's you're best bet.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507893

On a historical note, Sprint has always been challenged with supporting phones that aren't officially released yet. I had a bad experience when I got the EVO3D through a Sprint early access program. When there was an issue, they fumbled about for quite a while trying to figure out how to fix my problems, because I had the phone a week before it was officially launched. Maybe that's why they stopped that program...
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
So let's see...

OP did no research and is mad he has to get a sim card? There are how many threads on here about this now? The malfunctioning speaker thing isn't your fault, and I hope that gets resolved favorably and quickly. But the sim card thing, I have zero sympathy for you. As others have pointed out, this is an expensive purchase, and five minutes of research shows you need a sim card.
[Nexus 5 General] migsims:
This just isn't true. The Sprint LTE galaxy S3 for example had no sim and no sim slot either ( at least not any that was visible to any consumer ).
[Nexus 5 General] lilotimz:
The galaxy S3 does have a sim thats embedded and non removable. Starting this year with the HTC One and GS4, all Sprint LTE devices have removable sims.
[Nexus 5 General] intekmdma:
I think the user experience you want requires you to go buy your hardware from a retail store. Your looking for the"customer is always right" satisfaction
[Nexus 5 General] raptir:
They take up so much room how can you expect them to keep them in stock?
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
I stopped reading here. Sprint is by far the worst mobile company I've ever dealt with. Every time I have to deal with them for my mom's phone it makes me want to high five a baby in the face, with my fist. Good luck to you sir.
[Nexus 5 General] AxelRoldos:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/11/05/nexus-5-users-experiencing-problems-sprint/

It sounds like there was merit to OPs frustrations. But to be fair, Sprint hadn't yet released the device. So they technically don't support it... At least not yet.

Thanks for testing. I didn't think GPS had anything to do with internet speeds so weird why its also improved on your handset. But least you ain't getting the slow speeds I am experiencing. Just tested it on my s2 which works fine am getting decent speeds so its not a problem with my Wifi or Three so must be the handset.:crying:

Resolved... Downloaded another speedtest application and givng similar results with both GPS on/off. Stay clear off speedtest.net application.

I can confirm they did introduce it in the last T-Mobile 4.1.2 update back in July.

This was not a feature in my AUS Vodafone 4.1.2.

Also of all the reviews I read online re the 4.2.2 releases said it was a new feature HTC added to that and later firmware.
