That's awesome news Dan. Yeah I'm glad we found out the problem. Wow small world it Is. Hopefully my towers get updated soon as well.

Yes, it was quite a welcome surprise! I think it's just a matter of sitting tight and waiting until Sprint gets the network in everyone's area updated. When I first got my phone, the CID worked for a few days, then, all of a sudden...nothing. Now, it's back to working. First, my CID was working but I wasn't getting 4G/LTE, then I was getting 4G/LTE but my CID wasn't working. Everything seems to be operating correctly, but it just took right under a month.
The holiday is right around the corner and the G2 and Nexus 5 are/were two of Sprint's most anticipated smartphones. You can bet LG (LG also manufactures the Nexus 5) have been breathing down Sprint's back to get the issues resolved, as problems would certainly affect their bottom line. LG aren't going to be wanting a reputation for phones that don't work. Obviously, I don't have any inside information on what's going on behind Sprint's doors, but my guess is that these issues will be resolved in all areas by the time the holiday rolls around.
I think at this point, everyone just needs to be patient. Everyone just needs to continue to update their PRLs, Profiles, etc., and keep an eye out for changes in their areas. I'm sure Sprint probably took care of the more populated areas such as large cities and towns before working on the less-populated areas. I don't think it will be long before we're all getting the service we should be getting!
As for the time being, if CID is a must-have, switch the Mobile Network settings to "CDMA." You'll be getting 3G, but the CID will be working. If there's an accessible WiFi connection, people are probably utilizing them instead of the 4G/LTE anyway, so only having 3G shouldn't be a big deal.
