[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ManicMondays:
I also picked up my pixel 5 at a Best Buy in the Chicago area. Getting 5G on T-mobile just fine with a 5 year old sim.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
From what I'm reading, Stand Alone is supposed to be better. You need a new Sim card for that. I have 5G everywhere with my old Sim. Probably going to get a new Sim soon

I should mention I'm a Sprint customer but I'm using a T-Mobile SIM in my current iPhone 11. I don't think that should matter though?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Newerabs:
I'm curious if you all put your IMEI in T-Mobiles IMEI checker what does it say? When I put mine in for model: GD1YQ it tells me that it's not supported on T-Mobile. I did the same IMEI check for Verizon and AT&T and it checked out fine. This is so weird...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bleez99:
I am.

It's a long story, I won't bore everyone with it. I have replaced (tried to) my Pixel 4 XL on Thursday the 29th, which was running on an eSIM.

I called T-Mobile after work to get a new eSIM downloaded. I wasted six hours of my life with getting an eSIM with absolutely clueless technicians. I was really pissed off, T-Mobile has always been number one in customer service from my experience. They gave up and told me to visit a store to get a physical SIM. Bull****. After I told them no way I was visiting a store they wanted $25.00 US to mail me a SIM. As far as I know, it's still coming, but Customer Service in the US has removed the charges from my upcoming bill, especially after I told them I'm talking to them on a SIM-less device. If do receive the SIM, I will be depositing it in a strong metal container. My trash can.

I called back the next day during normal business hours and the eSIM deal took exactly five minutes to get done, as was my experience with my Pixel 4 XL.

Lesson learned? Hang up and call back during normal business hours to find someone with a clue. Everything you are stating that T-Mobile told you is incorrect.

After speaking with the network engineer, I learned that currently T-Mobile is both 5G SA and NSA, that's how he was seeing my connection and provisioning profile for my account, but should change soon. in some areas and they are migrating to complete SA, I am good to go with my account on with both versions of 5G. Right now NSA isn't quite as fast as SA, in theory, but not reality at this time. If I understood him correctly I was on NSA, which could simply be due to my physical location. Pulling 100Mb/s but the potential is there for 300Mb/s or better.

You can find the distinctions on:

https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/latest-sim-for-great-network-experience

Your mileage will vary depending on your area I live and tower proximity, I live in a major city in the US, and I understand they are working with the city's downtown area as priority. He was unfamiliar with which bands the Pixel covers, but it does have the antennae to handle the higher frequencies AT&T and Sprint uses, T-Mobile is using the 600Ghz for the majority of its customers:

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I put my ~4 year old T-Mobile SIM card in my Pixel 5 and it's working just fine on 5G. The sim was previously in my Pixel 4, Pixel 3 before that, and Pixel 2XL, prior to that.

I didn't know you could buy an unlocked Pixel 5 from BestBuy that wasn't meant to work with Verizon or Sprint. I'm wondering if your "unlocked" phone is really meant for one of those two carriers.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Newerabs:
So maybe try with an esim? If you put your IMEI in T-Mobile IMEI checker does it say it's compatible? This is just so mind boggling to me. I can activate it with Sprint but not with T-Mobile. It's so weird.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bleez99:
Try getting an eSIM. Eventually, SIM cards will go away as bothersome. Do yourself a favor though, I don't know what your location is, but call T-Mobile during their normal 9-5 business hours. If your call is routed overseas, hang up and call again, or ask to speak to a US based engineer. Please don't take that the wrong way, I found that the outsourced call centers are poorly trained, and cannot perform the simplest of technical tasks. I actually had an argument with an "engineer" when he told me to scan the QR code without activating the EID in their system. Moron. He refused to listen to someone who has some understanding of cellular operations. Then he accused me of not knowing what a QR code is. This is not magic, you cannot just scan the QR code on their website and expect registration without prior entry into the system by EID.

Don't expect the reps at the stores to understand how to set up an eSIM either.

IMEI doesn't matter to T-Mobile at all. When it comes to an eSIM, they do ask you for an EID. The IMEI is either whitelisted after activation or rejected because it's on a "questionable or stolen list" The fact, as far as I understand it, report you phone stolen and the IMEI will become blacklisted. They have the IMEI and the phone is dead to the world. If someone is asking for an IMEI for an eSIM, hang up. Rest assured your IMEI will show up on their systems and your account once your phone is up and running on their network AFTER successful EID based registration.

This is why I find it incredible that people steal phones, when in reality they are stealing a paperweight.

As far as companies like AT&T, they refuse to activate phones if not on their supported list EMEI list, I told them where they can stick their IMEI and walked across the street to T-Mobile after being with AT&T forever. The last straw was refusing to let me use HD voice because didn't purchase the phone from them (IMEI related). Petty, idiotic, they lost a customer. I don't know why I didn't leave AT&T earlier, they refused to activate Nexus and Play Edition phones without a lot of drama.

Here it is, T-Mobile is bring your own device friendly, always has been, that's why IMEI is not relevant to them. AT&T can burn in hell.

Their polices may have changed since then, I wouldn't know, and I don't plan on ever finding out.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I think they have Verizon, ATT, Sprint/TM, Unlocked.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] amaddux:
On their web site, Best Buy shows two options. Verizon and Unlocked.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xRogerxC:
Actually, the unlocked one from Best Buy works with all carriers. It's no different than the unlocked version you can buy from Google.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Newerabs:
That's what's so weird. I don't understand why when I put in the IMEI on T-Mobiles website it says it's not supported. It's just so strange to me. Even when I call T-Mobile and try and activate they tell me it won't work. I think I'm going to go and return and try another one. Maybe I got a dud or something... I don't know how but you never know.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
Works just fine. Those guys don't know what their talking about.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TokedUp:
My carrier, Spectrum, sells the P5 but won't activate an unlocked P5. At least not now they won't, they said in future they would, no time line.

Multiple ppl I talked all bought it unlocked and just used their old SIM and it works fine, even gets 5G in the areas where its available.

My P5 comes tomorrow and I'm just gonna pop my old SIM in and call it a day.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] pclewis:
I could not get the IMEI to check with Spectrum. I called them and they are sending me a new SIM. I was told I need a new one for 5G. I will verify I can activate it when I get it. I was able to verify the IMEI with the Verizon check site.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bleez99:
My advice? Switch to T-Mobile. All of the talk about IMEI is bolaga. Sound to me like Spectrum is hanging off of Verizons network. AT&T and Verizon both are complete as*****s about supported IMEI number ranges. My experience with tmo was fine with the exception of speaking to off hours idiots.

The EID is all they need to register your phone. If any carrier gives you guff about IMEI, find a different carrier

I left Verizon years ago for different customer service reasons. Moved to At&t. More customer service drama. Absolutely none with T-Mobile. They want your business and they behave that way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShartedMcPants:
ok so back about 2007 or 8 i got the new Droid incredible (the original) and loved the root and every thing it has opened after.

Now with that said, that was the last device i had, that when i owned it never had a root for it. now i have 3 phones one turned on, so i was sure that 1 of 3 can be rooted right.... NAWWW not one. how can it be possible that over tye years i had maybe 50 phones past the incredible and never have i seen root for them.

its a sad sad day.... no computer means most likely no root correct.

I installed agni kernel 10.7 on lavender with hellas rom and after installation it doesn't boot to system. Instead it boots back to recovery. I tried installing stock backup rom and same prob occurs. I tried format data and problem still persists. Any help?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrOtt:
...but Google screwed up by giving it a wrong sound profile. Hear me out.

If you have YT music or Spotify linked to your alarm ringtone, play a song with the alarm volume at max, then try playing the same song in Spotify.

It sounds MUCH better in the alarm, I guess because it's only using the bottom firing speaker and doesn't need to account for the top one?

But then once you turn down a level in the alarm volume, the mids suddenly drop more than it should, probably expecting the top speaker to help but never got it.

I suggest Google just disable the wonky sound profile and use the bottom speaker only for media. Cuts the stereo speaker feature (which already sounds ****ty), but gives us better sound quality.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gibsonflyingv:
I agree that it could easily sound better. It reminds me of exactly what an iPhone sounds like. It has a weird hollow "clunk" sound (I'm guessing it's some dsp trick) when it's trying to play a bass thump. The bottom speaker is clearly missing treble which I'm guessing they figured the screen speaker would make up for. I think they should just make the bottom play the full spectrum and then it would sound fine. I guess one of the eq apps could help out with that too.

Hi,

I think my touchscreen is smashed. It happened at a festival. I think the presure was to high despite carring my HTC Kaiser in my pants pocket and in its case. Or could it be because it was too cold because after the festival it worked just a little ****ed up (so not reacting very quick etc).

I want to send it now to the HTC support. How much will that cost and is there something with warranty? And what about the ROM? Should I flash to the default HTC ROM or what?

And btw: Is there any touchscreen diagnostic or hardware error diagnostic tool?
