pump the brake pedal until "hard" jam hard down with stick or suitable object between seat and brake pedal, remove master cylinder filler cap and leave overnight. in the trade this is known as "pegging out" and should purge system of last remaining air bubbles. dont forget to replace filler cap .

Sometimes after changing brake pads the pedal can feel spongy.
Unlikely to have air in the system if you have not opened bleed nipples.
Did you take the cap off the brake master cyl. before you pushed calipers back if not could have damaged seals in master cyl.

Make sure when you bleed the brakes that you bleed the right rear,,,,then the left rear and the right front and then the left front ........I have found that if you use a vacum bleeder it does a great job and that way you can do it yourself ...

you may have left some air in the pipe, try bleeding the bake pipes again, pumping the brakes keeping your foot hard on the pedal and then opening the bleed screw, do this a few times and it should sort. you will need two people though
