Brick and mortar told me 11/18 - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My brick and mortar t-mobile store just told me it was launching the 18th. He sounded very confident. What happened to the 12th. Or is this just my local store. Kansas city, mo

Pretty sure the sprint rep meant Nov.15 for sprint

Maybe they will take pre orders on the 12th. Maybe that's where thatcrumor came from. It just doesnt make sense that google play store pre orders aren't here until around the 21st.

Sprint launches phones on Saturdays?

Store reps are some cheaply paid people. What can they know about corporate stuff.

It is also possible that the rep knows when they are getting shipment. Not all of the T-Mobile stores are getting stock on the 12th. Some may get it in the evening. Some may get it day(s) later. Even with some of the recent launches, like the Note 4 some stores didn't have stock in the morning they got their shipment that evening.

coming from someone who works in merchandising... I would be amazed if corporate even knew what corporate was doing. Lol

That was my first thought. He just sounded confident it was LAUNCHING the 18th. It's not the biggest T-Mobile store. But its a newer one. I'm still shooting for Wednesday. My phone case will be here tomorrow. Google may be telling them when they go on sale. So they may have no idea. But chances are. They will try to sell me a Samsung when I walk in.

There is a user around here that posted a spreadsheet stating which stores will be getting it in or not, here . How true the data will be come Wednesday, don't know. But it seems legit enough.

I read a few articles this weekend that said T-mobile and other carriers will have extremely limited supply. So it will be like the play store and sell out in minutes I bet. So unless your in front of your computer hitting refresh the whole day I doubt you will get one. Its just like the Nexus 4 and 5 launch. It was several months after release that anyone could actually get one in a normal way.

Another local store said they might be getting them in this Wednesday. He will know tomorrow. That store was not on the list linked above. So we will see.

Nexus 4 at T-Mobile b&m

Just letting everyone know that I was able to pick up a Nexus 4 at a t- mobile retail store. At first they told me they were in stock but couldn't be sold yet. About 10 minutes later this story changed and they said they could sell it to me. Pricing is different than buying directly from Google but it is available.
This was in Raleigh North Carolina.

My local T-Mobile also has a few Nexus 4's in stock. I'm with AT&T though so I don't know if it has any T-Mobile bloatware on it or not.
Was the pricing full retail for TMO or Google?
$549 for the 16 GB Nexus 4 at my local T-Mobile.
Full retail unless you go with a "classic contract". But the classic contracts are inflated and cost more in the long run.
I have not found any bloatware.

I was at CES and knew from the rep there it would be in stores by the 16th. Thanks BTW from the dude with the white helmet. Managed to hold off on getting a smartphone since they came out. Yay me for being poor till now.

I got mine for free through HTC's Champions program. 250 deposit that they refund part of when you send your qualifying device back to htc. I'm lucky enough to have a Note II that is offering a full deposit refund :good: The downside of this program is I have to wait 2 weeks for them to ship it out to my store Not sure if the program applies to sprint corporate though I'm a 3rd party store.

It would appear this is the case, on the site they specifically sate "does not apply to corporate" and only list Preferred/Platinum dealers on the approved dealer list.
So, can employees buy it? Not some HTC program. I mean is it available for employees of Sprint to purchase from our company on our computer at work.
I am only asking because I live on the far side of town from the employee store. I would hate to make the trip for no reason.

No not yet. They put it up through there site to get people to trade in there galaxy s3 straight up (htc rep said it was aimed at the s3)
It might be a little while inventory is strained and still no black available. But on a positive note they have been quicker with employee availability minus the iPhone

My understanding is (got this confirmed by corporate when trying to get iPhone 5) that even if you buy the handset full price even if directly from manufacturer, you cannot activate it on an employee account or you risk getting on corrective action up to termination. This was huge deal when the EVO 4G came out. A manager in my district almost got fired for this...
Wait until sprint sprint sends communication to employees that you can buy it for swac accounts. Just my .02 cents

What choices do I have

Sprint has a policy of switching costumers to a different device after 3 exchanges. I'm waiting for my 3rd HTC one, all for the same reason with the SIM card error. I can't imagine that this replacement will be any different. With that being said what choices will I have for a new device

S4 pretty much. Maybe a Note II.
Quick question, are you taking the SIM card out at any time, or are you not touching it? Because I only ever had problems with mine after I removed it from my phone and put it back in.
I also have the sim card error but it comes and goes every once and a while. When ever I get it it usually goes away after 15-20 min. Even with all the issues the HTC One has I would never trade it in for any of the phones available atm.

Same. I haven't had the sim error, does it just deny LTE? If thats all it does I'd suffer for a bit (if you don't have a time restraint) and see what the Nexus5 announce says. The word is it has the CDMA bands for Sprint use and I've been itching to get my hands on a true nexus phone.

I've never touched it. My thought I'd that I shouldn't have to do quick temporary fixes on the phone. That and possibly giving Sprint a reason to deny liability.

Have you tried updating your Service profiles?
Just contact Sprint via chat, and ask them to re activate your device. They should ask you for your IMEI number.
Make sure they ask you for it. I had this happen to me after I got my phone's board replaced. The chat guy kept telling me to get a new SIM card, and I kept telling him it was pretty much the same phone, and exactly the same card. So yeah.

From what I remember when I worked there it had to be a manufacturer defect every time and the 3 swaps have to occur within a 6 month time frame. Not sure if yours fell into that. If they did then your store might be more screwy than others. Or you just weren't upset enough

Seriously? An S3? That doesn't make any sense to me. It should definitely be an S4. When we had the EVO and Epic come out a lot of EVOs had issues and several people were able to do the swap and we got them into Epics. A phone a year older with much lower specs shouldn't qualify as a comparable device.

Scotch tape fixed it for my wife's phone also make sure SIM surface is super clean. My wife's phone had a big greasy finger print on contact side and recurring issues but after scotch taping on plastic side to keep it tight it's fixed. But I never had this issue on mine, I did however blow a speaker and swapped it a month ago.
I wouldn't take another phone over this still.

My crazy day getting a nexus 5!

OK I know that ALL the nexus 5 sold at T-Mobile, Sprint, best buy, etc are the SAME as Google play store.
I was in Houston to visit family yesterday, and sold my moto g, and moto x(att model) to my family friend and then figured "ya I could order the nexus on Google but since selling the moto's I would just be paying the tax for the 5!"
So I go to best buy, not in stock, then go to T-Mobile store....NEVER again!(only because their like 390 full price!)
First the guy said he couldn't sell me it cause it won't work on anything other than T-Mobile....... So I told him that I know it will work or I wouldn't be asking you to buy it.... Then the store demo I put my Sim in it and BAM! Getting LTE on straight talk att Sim! Then I show him and then he said the demo model works cause it one straight from the Google play store! LMAO WHAT!
So I leave go down the street to another T-Mobile store same story!
Then I finally went to a sprint store...
The guy was basically acting like I was stupid and he bet me it wouldn't work....so he sell me the phone (399) I put my Sim in the phone and by this time he called everybody else in the store to see if it was going to work! The of course it works, and he was like we'll it probably because it not activated on our network. Then he went on saying I couldn't sell that to anybody on sprint cause the phone will be blacklisted.......OR I said "it could be idk IT'S THE SAME PHONE THAT GOOGLE SELLS ON THE PLAY STORE!" and walk out
So I guess next time people just order from the play store unless your only going to pay tax for a brand new phone lol!

What? Out of all service companies, I can't believe T-Mobile would say that! That's crazy.
They probably don't want to sell their N5' s cause they know they're sold out on Google store and they want customers who buy the N5 to stay in their company. That's why whenever I go to my company (T-Mobile) I end up arguing with them, they seem to not have a lot of knowledge when it comes to Google phones.

Too many CSR are just dumb. But this is quite the funny story. Should've took that guy on the bet at the sprint store, I would've walked out with a free N5 I'll tell you what. And how slow was the store business wise for all them to huddle round you? They seriously had nothing else better to do?
Well the sprint store wasn't really busy at all. Had one customer leaving as I was walking in. But the T-Mobile store was actually quite busy which I was surprised bout. Tmobile works great in Houston and Dallas. But where I live their not even a store that's how bad it is!

actually you can activate a n5 bought through tmo on sprint. all you need to do is have sprint manually enter the info they need and device id.
Wow. Sorry to hear about that. I got extremely lucky buying mine at Best Buy. They sold me their last one, and price matched the Play Store for me. No questions asked at all. I'm pretty sure Best Buys aren't selling the N5 anymore though. The demo they had on the Google endcap has been removed and replaced with a N7. I've been in 5 different stores, and all of them have been removed.

Wow. Sorry to hear about that. I got extremely lucky buying mine at Best Buy. They sold me their last one, and price matched the Play Store for me. No questions asked at all. I'm pretty sure Best Buys aren't selling the N5 anymore though. The demo they had on the Google endcap has been removed and replaced with a N7. I've been in 5 different stores, and all of them have been removed.

Yes I noticed that when I went to that best buy store. They didn't even have it on display. Guess its not selling like they like in stores so replacing it with something else.

actually you can activate a n5 bought through tmo on sprint. all you need to do is have sprint manually enter the info they need and device id.

Just like my nexus 5 im using now bought at sprint, using ST ATT sim, can be sold to somebody who wants to use sprint CDMA. Same can be done with somebody with a n5 bought from T-Mobile!

I don't sound like them but maybe you do. I know what I am talking about. We all know it is the same phone, Sprint are the idiots that don't think so.

just because their employees arent to bright, it doesnt change the fact that its more than possible to have done. its easy to do, and many sprint employees have figured out how to do it right. if the employees working where you go cant do it, go to another sprint.

No thanks. Sprint's LTE network is an absolute mess in my area, good signals usually but the 1,500+ms pings and 0.05 megabit downloads are painful. I do the AIO thing.
At least T-mobile let you purchase it. When it first came to Sprint, they would only sell it on contract. (Corporate store around me)

Well then go to another store. I don't care for sprint as other solution work out better for me. But I know it will work and since you don't have sprint it shouldn't matter to you

If you think a Sprint store can enter a MEID into the system that was never there before then I believe you need to go buy a bunch of lottery tickets.

HTC One M8 for $99 Tomorrow only 5/8/14

Do you need to have an upgrade eligible line to sign a 2 year contract for this price?
Sprint is out of stock, and the h/k edition does not apply the discount. This sucks ?

Or at least knock $100.00 off it.
By way does anyone know if they drop the no contract price by $100.00 as well. I just bought my no contract one only 6 days ago.

Not likely. I would think the discount is an incentive for new customers or for people looking to sign a new 2-year contract agreement. The last paragraph of the article could use some clarification, though.

What do you wanna bet that Samsung made out better than HTC did with this stupid deal.
I know several people that were interested in this deal and they were sold out, so guess what they came home with !!
A Samsung.
How could you start something like this with out good stock?
And they are probably low on stock because of all the early faulty units.
