[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
Yes, you need to be extremely clear with the order representative. They sent me a full size SIM for my HTC M9...smh! You should do it through chat on their site and be specific about the make and model of the phone, then have them confirm it before closing out the chat. They need to select the correct box for the model when ordering. For some godforsaken reason Sprint has many different SIMs specific to phone models. Hopefully they will make it to the 21st century one day :silly:
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
I actually had a relatively minor experience when I dealt with Sprint to get my SIM card. At first I called some local stores to see if they had any SIM card that would fit, and none is then when knew what the hell I was talking about. Did some Googling, discovered that I needed a nano SIM and went to Sprint's Live Support, and they already knew what the deal was when I started explaining. Sent me a nano SIM completely free of charge.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Only repair store would've have had an idea what you're talking about as they have the SIM cards. Regular ones should have suggested talking to one of those.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
That's the thing; I DID talk to a repair store. They had no idea. Then again, people in my city aren't the most.... Competent.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Guess they didn't get the memo. Literally. LOL.
[Nexus 5X General] LancerEVA06:
The repair store said Sprint doesn't have SIM cards in any flavor (which is a blatant lie. I'm sure they have harvested SIM cards), the Corporate store referred me to the repair store, and Sprint chat sent me the V4 SIM 5 times. My last try I gave them the sku, part number, and UPC. I refused to tell them what device it was for. That FINALLY got me the V5 nanoSIM. It's pretty bad you can go into a T-Mobile store and get a new SIM or have your Micro cut down. Sprint you wait days just to jump thru hoops and get pissed.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
It really depends on the area. I was in and out of a repair store in 30-40 minutes. They had a memo specifically showing the Nexus 5X with what nano SIM needed. Why didn't you just tell them what device? It would've been easier.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Sprint aren't the most competent company in the market. Some people have good experiences with their local stores, like you did. Others do not. Which is a shame, but that's the truth of the matter.
[Nexus 5X General] LancerEVA06:
I didn't tell them my device because they kept sending me the iPhone nano SIM (V4) when I said it was a Nexus 5X. On 5 occasions. When I finally gave them a SKU and omitted any device information is when I finally got the right SIM shipped to me.

As far as stores in my area; the employees know absolutely nothing. They only know how to force you to buy accessories you don't want, and the repair stores will take your semi working phone, return a non-functional phone while telling you to file an insurance claim because it's somehow not a hardware defect.
[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
This is because T-Mobile and AT&T are GSM and their SIM cards work in almost any of their supported phones. Sprint SIM card is specifically for their CDMA network and allows LTE access. It must be programmed for specific models of phones due to the differences in radios. So they literally have a different SIM card for the HTC M8 and HTC M9 and most every other supported phone which seems crazy. So they do not stock all these different flavors of SIM.
[Nexus 5X General] LancerEVA06:
I'm aware how the SIM card works, but the store "couldn't" order it, and they did have a SIM card in stock. They had an M9. That was how I actually got a SIM for my Nexus 5 two years ago; from another phone.
[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
Yeah... Don't know why Sprint treats these SIMs like withdrawing gold from Fort Knox. Would save them tons of shipping costs to stock their repair centers with 1 or 2 of each type.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
They had bags of them at mine.
[Nexus 5X General] churchey360:
Can I order one from my phone or computer without going to a sprint store?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Yes according to the first post.
[Nexus 5X General] churchey360:
Yeah apparently if you talk to order support they can do it.
[Nexus 5X General] alhadee12:
I was thinking about switching to Sprint. I have a Nexus 6p and it sounds like a nightmare to get service.
[Nexus 5X General] churchey360:
I dont think its really any harder then activating any other phone.. you just need a specific sim card
[Nexus 5X General] alhadee12:
How's the service overall?
[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
Not at all. I have the 6P on Sprint. They sent me the SIM card in 2nd day mail, I popped in the card, and they had to complete the activation the first time over chat because it is an unlocked device. I can now deactivate it or activate it myself anytime because it is registered on their network. Took about 5 minutes in front of my computer. But if you are going to switch to Sprint you would need to do it in store of course. Process is the same for the 5X.

In my area I never lose signal or drop calls, so it depends on where you are. Check the coverage map. If you are lucky enough to be near a Spark tower on Band 41 you can get 100Mbs down and 12 Mbs upload. I have a few near me and did the speedtests.
[Nexus 5X General] alhadee12:
Thanks, I'll check out the map.
[Nexus 5X General] alhadee12:
I think I'll just stick with Project Fi on my 6P since it uses both Sprint and T-Mobile.
[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
Yeah, if Sprint didn't give me a good deal on 3 lines unlimited everything for $140 I would be on Fi. I got a 14 year old so you know I need the unlimited data! :p
[Nexus 5X General] alhadee12:
That's a great deal. Are you using any device payment programs or all your phones free and clear?
[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
For the boy I got him and LG G3 which is only costing me $7 a month and they gave me a $100 gift card for adding the third line. My other 2 lines are the Nexus 6P fully paid and a Note 4 which was got on the upgrade last year so also free and clear.
[Nexus 5X General] alhadee12:
That's great! I was going to switch my family from Verizon, but we travel a lot and don't want to take a chance of service issues. I also use that account as a basketball coach.
[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
No doubt Verizon has the best coverage but sucks for those that like to root and mod. They are locking down every carrier issued phone they sell.
[Nexus 5X General] alhadee12:
I agree fortunately I don't root or mod because of a bad experience.
[Nexus 5X General] churchey360:
Thanks for the help everyone! I should be receiving this sim in 2-5 business days at no cost: 019962040146 - WW GEM LTE+GSM REM 4FF CSIM V5, Which is a Nano Sim
[Nexus 5X General] LancerEVA06:
This. Check my signature for verification of what KennyG said.

I'm not a big fan of Sprint, but I have tried every carrier in my N6 and N5X, Sprint comes out #1 at home. The tower contains every carrier, with latest technologies except Tmobile B12. There's a huge downside to Sprint tho; their customer service is absolutely horrible in my experience.
[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
It was true about their customer service a couple of years ago. But since Softbank has purchased them it has improved greatly. They are back to trying to retain customers and apologizing for their mistakes. They gave me a free replacement for an M9 I purchased off of Ebay that would not dial out after they confirmed it was a network problem and the phone was fine...and that is without TEP. They made the jump to the Nexus 6P painless as well, plus finding that great deal on 3 lines for me. It may also be that T-Mobile was gaining ground on them to become #3 in US. But I have had good experiences in the last 2 years.
[Nexus 5X General] LancerEVA06:
My experience has been the opposite. It took 19 days to finally get a SIM card for my Nexus 5. It took over a week, 5 iPhone SIM cards, $30 in gas, and probably 20 phone calls to get a SIM for my 5X. We won't even discuss the SIM card for my Nexus 6. And every time I call they try to sell me a 60GB plan for the same price as my 3 unlimited lines. They push it to the point they have actually changed my plan without consent. I could go on and on, but I stay with them as I'm happy with the coverage and data speeds, but I do feel their customer service was better before the Softbank acquisition, I'm my opinion.
[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
Wow, that's terrible! They did send me the wrong SIM card for my M9 when ordered by phone, went to chat and they sent me the right one and even overnighted it for free. Went to chat again for the 6P and 2 days later had the right SIM for that one. So maybe the chat personnel are much better.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] J-Zzz:
This is a complete noob on rooting and unlocking bootloaders talking right now, so could someone help me or link me to any place with detailed steps on how to do it on 5.1 TN7? I haven't rooted any device at all yet and I wouldn't have even thought of doing it if it wasn't for the random lags and general heating issues/battery drain my tab is suffering after updating to lollipop. This tab is kinda like my device to experiment with games and apps that I normally wouldn't use on my phone so since the warranty already got over a few months back, I thought now would be a good time to step into the vast rooting waters. There are multiple articles on how to root TN7 but most of them are for KK and before. I can't seem to find any recent ones with detailed steps for 5.1.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] J-Zzz:
Any help?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] swaaye:
You can root it with the Super Tool or you can download nvidia recovery images for fastboot flashing.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] SgtEnigma:
Refer to this threads 3rd reply http://xdaforums.com/nvidia-tegra-note-7/help/how-downgrade-lollipop-t3212647 After you download Super Tool and start it up, it is pretty easy to unlock the bootloader or root your device. As far as the heating/battery drain issues are concerned, rooting won't exactly help you unless you roll back to KitKat since that is unfortunately, the only possible solution yet. Its an easy process and rolling back to KitKat is definitely worth it so don't think a lot about it ;)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] J-Zzz:
After doing some research and the wide availability of information on the internet, I was able to root it. :D The first thing I did is disable most of the Nvidia services like Tegra services which was mentioned in another thread on here and now most of the micro lags and battery drain problems are pretty much nonexistant! The tab is so zippy now, it's such a joy to use.

The only thing missing is a more efficient custom kernel for TN7 that works on 5.1 and this device'll be amazing (the stock kernel seems to be the highest battery consuming component according to GSam right now).
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] swaaye:
Tegra 4 is just a fairly power hungry SoC. Those A15 cores need to be fed! Combine that with the smaller battery of a 7" tablet and the battery life ends up not so great.

There is a custom kernel for 4.4 Kitkat that undervolts the SoC and the RAM. It might get a bit better battery life but I haven't used it enough. If you leave it at its stock overclocked settings it certainly will not have better battery life though. He has the max CPU clock at around 2.2 GHz and that definitely increases power consumption considerably if you do anything more than sit idle.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] J-Zzz:
The other day, on a long trip, I had the Note out with randomly watching videos and going in and out between apps and a few light games. Then after reaching home, I switched on the wifi and downloaded app updates and such. The screen was pretty much on the whole time during this. But it registered a pretty impressive (considering the tab's recent....history) 4 hours SOT and stood for about 15 hour or so of total time between unplugging the device at 100% and recharging again at 5%.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coldwindofnowhere:
Apparently it was a problem from the kernel, i've fixed it. Of course i'm now running into another error .... here it is :

using prebuilt boot.img from IMAGES...

ERROR: boot size (8339456) is 106.04% of limit (7864320)

Do someone know how to reduce the size of the boot partition ? By the way the weird thing is that the boot.img is only 7 398 036 bytes, not 8 339 456 .... Also, i'm using O2 and Os flags, so the size should be ok :confused:

Any help would be appreciated !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xc-racer99:
Hey, I don't know how to reduce the size of the boot partition, but if you're sure its the right size, you can change the line

BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 7864320

in BoardConfigCommon.mk to a bigger value and that will remove that error....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coldwindofnowhere:
Sure it will but i'm pretty sure the zip wont flash (i already experienced it when i wanted to build my kernel : the boot.img was > 7864320, so i made a sh script to force twrp to flash it and i bricked my phone).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xc-racer99:
Ah, my bad. I thought this was still the prebuilt kernel that you were using. I didn't realize it was a built one...

I guess what you could do is change the value in the BoardConfigCommon.mk, build the kernel with the ROM, but replace the boot.img in the created zip with a prebuilt one that you know works.

Then, if everything works properly, figure out how to slim down the size of the boot.img.

Another alternative is to increase the size of the boot partition on the device - in the kernel, go to drivers/mtd/onenand/samsung_gsm.h and increase the boot partition size (see https://github.com/noiphonehere/and...mmit/b6767daf38891baff4e87963aa594beaa6f61628 for an example).

you need to use other wince.nls to get back the regional settings. You can get this from dopod-HK rom, or download a trial copy of CE-Star and looking in it. The size should be 1.x MB

If you know how to dump the rom, you can replace the wince.nls then repack it back to .nbh

if not, you can try to direct replace it from a running hermes. (not sure if this still work; i used to success with this when use LVSW ROMs)

if both not work, you can use CE-Star which it will change all the settings for you.

hope this help.

Ive scoured the internet, reviews, etc...cant seem to find a direct answer on how it works.

Lack of Burst mode is the only thing that prevented me from getting nexus phone. I take too many burst shots to not miss moments of my kids, dogs, sports events, etc...

the 6p has a "smart burst now"

From what i can tell, it only takes 8 shots.....? Ive seen that 8 number around. Does it only take 8 and stops? Does it take as many as you hold the button and then shows you only the 8 it thinks are best? Can you get past that 8 number and take as many as you want so you can decide what to keep yourself? Do you have to review after each burst or can you take burst after burst in a high active moment and go back to review later?
