Sprint EOL's Nexus 5 - Why it doesn't matter

    So android police is reporting that sprint has given the nexus 5 end of life status.
    Sprint Sends The Nexus 5 To The End-Of-Life Underworld, But No One Cares Because Nexus

    What that typically means is that the device will no longer receive software updates from Sprint. As a result - EOL status is usually a pretty big deal (and usually comes after about 2 years). However, the Nexus 5 receives its updates straight from Google - Sprint plays no role in the update. This should have absolutely no effect on anyone that already has a nexus 5, it just means they wont be selling them in the stores anymore once the current stock runs out.

    Bottom line - nothing changes, and absolutely nothing to worry about. :thumbup:

    The only thing this does mean is that it probably puts the nail in the coffin about whether this phone would ever get Sprint WiFi calling capability.

    True... Although for a work around, you can now just use the new Hangouts version with the Hangouts Dialer app for WiFi calling.

    Sure. Agreed. However not quite the same as having Wi-Fi calling with your Sprint number unless you're fully a Hangouts integrated which based on all the trouble lately I wouldn't do.

    Hmm... I'm interested in these Hangouts integrated problems that your experiencing and /or issues that your talking about?
    I've not had any issues with it thus far and it is working very well on my end.
