Hi
I'm thinking of buying the nexus 5, tho it has not arrived to my country yet and my resellers will put on a 100-200$ extra as they did with the nexus 4, so if I order one from Google play store (the unlocked one)(will order it through a post forwarding company) will it work in EU?
I have my doubts because I read a review that said " Network compatibility
Google has made two versions of the handset, one specifically for North America/Asia, and another for other regions like Europe."
Thanks in advance

I am also interested in this. Hope there is just one version that is compatible worldwide.
Thank you in anticipation to whoever can clarify this.
You can actually use the US model in Europe without problem, but you can't use LTE because the LTE bands supported in this US(& Canada) model are mostly not compatible in Europe & Asia.
The specs in the N5 page has clearly stated the different lte bands support.
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
You can check the supported bands in your country here:

Oh hmm that stinks :/ so it's not possible today to get the N5 with LTE for the Gplay price outside us?

It's available in these play stores starting today, UK, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, and Korea. Only in different prices. UK is selling as high as £339 for 32GB.
Buy from Play Store in Malta
Malta is not yet a supported country for the Play Store. Can anyone suggest a way to get the new Nexus 5?
Through the US play store it is way cheaper.
I've used the N4 US model in EU without an issue, so the N5 should be no different.

Download tunnelbear and use it to buy the nexus on the play store.
Register with borderlinx and have the nexus ship there.

Borderlinx will calculate the import taxes in your country. when paying Borderlinx for the shipping, you will also be paying the taxes to them. tey will pay the taxes to your customs. Therefore DHL will directly deliver to you without delay at the customs.
Out here in UAE the LTE baseband is 1800Mhz sadly from what I am seeing both the phones have no support for that spectrum. Screwed :/

Exactly the dilemma I'm having right now.
3G and 3,5G is quite fast in Europe. I'm getting 4-6 megs on 3,5G which is enough for me.
Heavy data usage costs more so I use WiFi for it anyway. In my case I'd buy one from US.
Considering LTE as a still early dev. technology in my part of the world I'm even more convinced.
I just bought a US version for use in Europe

does anyone know whether buying the n5 from a country you don't reside in will affect warranty? I'm assuming warranty is only covered by the country that the device is issued for...
If LG policy is still the same then you will have to send it to the country where you bought it. The question is: will they ship it back directly to your country...

Hi XDA Community!
I want to import a Nexus S from the States as soon as it is available there. As I am not totally sure if there can be problems using it in Austria, Europe, I would ask for your expertise.
I will buy the unbranded version without simlock from Best Buy.
Will GSM and UMTS work with the European frequencies?
Is the German language natively supported? I mean all the automatic word completing of the screen keyboard.
I do not care about the power plug, as I can recharge it using USB.
As for the HTC Hero there were two versions, one for Europe one for the States, I am afraid that I can run into problems with the Nexus S.
Thanks for your help,
Burt

I would also like to know about the frequencies as I will be studying abroad in Salzburg next semester and hope to bring this with me. I would assume you could look at what frequencies your carrier operates at in Austria and compare those to what the NS supports, but someone more knowledgeable on this should probably chime in.
I know German is natively supported with dictionary and word completion (at least in 2.2), I use it all the time. I couldn't imagine them removing this in 2.3. In fact I think they added MORE language support, I think it's pretty unlikely they would remove functionality for a language like German.
As for the power plug, couldn't you just use an adapter?

For GSM I am pretty sure there are no problems, we have 900 and 1800 MHz in Austria, depending on the operator.
With UMTS (HSPA) I am a bit suspicious. I "assume" that we use 2100 MHz here, but the network operators seem to make a secret of the frequency.

That's funny. I've never heard of carrier keeping freq. a secret...

There is no unlocking that is need to be done
as the Device is already Unlocked at the LTE band 41
However there are two versions of the Nexus 5 the North American and one for the rest of the world
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
Please make sure you do indeed have the North American version d280 and not the d281
if you do have the North American version try adding/checking your mobile operators APN settings if that does not work i suggest try to get a new Sim card
My phone is the U.S. version of LG-D820, I have replaced the China Mobile 4G SIM card, also opened a 4G package, but still only use 2G networks

In which case, either
1) Google are wrong - The WRT1605L packaged within the 8974 for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 is capable of only 7 LTE bands. This is teh first chip that can do this.
2) Google are not being clear with their specs and perhaps omitting that a few carrier released versions are programmed differently.

Just go to Chinese forums of Nexus 5, there are plenty of discussion of it.
Due to
1. China Mobile have 3 bands (39/40/41, 41 is super set of 38) been allocated, and Nexus 5 supports only band 41, for LTE-TDD.
So, first of all, you MUST MAKE SURE China Mobile is USING band 41 to provide LTE-TDD where you have your tests.
2. Nexus 5 does not support TD-SCDMA, and it seems do not support FR-CSFB. (or China Mobile did not support it yet.)
So, N5 can not go to LTE automatically through the route: 2G (GSM) -> 3G (TDSCDMA) -> 4G(LTE-TDD).
You MUST using *#*#4636#*#*, select "LTE Only" to force it connect to LTE, and then using "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)" to enable it using CSFB for incoming/outgoing voice service.
Ensure you have 4G USIM card and enabled 4G service using SMS.
4G in mainland China
I live in China and am in the market for a new phone. My HTC Desire HD is getting rather cranky in its old age.
Investigating 4G here, I've found that the mainland uses its own band, which no other country uses. Everything I've read about it says that even if you buy a phone in Hong Kong, its 4G won't work here. Now, I have seen some phones advertised on HK websites that say they can use both HK and mainland 4G, but I haven't been able to confirm that on any manufacturer sites. Not to mention, they were substantially more expensive.
Luckily there are some Chinese brands that are really improving their wares. The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 is one, and the XiaoMi Mi4 is another. I'm still wary of buying one though, mostly because, while it will have English, everything on it will be set up for Chinese consumers.
I'll keep looking into it because ideally, I'd really like to have a Nexus 6, or Droid Turbo with 4G that works here.

I'm not sure if the Nexus 5's chipset has bands that are compatible with the Chinese 4G standard TD-LTE (LTE TDD), this thread that talks about adding different bands not originally setup on the N5.

Nope. The CDMA version is only available for North Americans.

If she is in the US she can only buy the US version. Google Play Store detects your IP to show up the products matching with your localization.
Anyway if you want to use a Nexus 5 in Brazil you need the D821 version so don't buy the device through an US IP address.

I'm not sure I follow. Can you not get a Nexus 5 to use with AT&T? AFAIK AT&T uses 850/1900 frequencies for 3G, which is the same as my operator here. I'm not sure about 4G but I'm not really worried about that. Other than that, as long as it's GSM you just snap in your microSIM and you're good, isn't it?
The difference between the the d820 and d821 is simply which LTE (4g) bands they operate on. That's the only difference.
If you're never using 4g on this phone, either will work fine
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
So, to sum it all up:
- Every Nexus 5 is GSM and those sold in the US are both GSM (micro SIM) and CDMA capable;
- The US version (D820) supports different LTE bands than the international version (D821).
There's a chance Brazil will start using Band 17 (700mhz) some time soon. In that case the Nexus 5 US (D820) would be LTE-capable here.
Otherwise, both versions will work with 2 and 3G anywhere.
Any mistakes there?

But does tmobile use 1700/2100MHz is it band 4?
Just little afraid getting it from overseas in case no LTE with tmobile
Based on the supported bands it will work with most Tmobile bands except HSPA (3G) on the 1700 band. You will also not have WiFi calling or VoLTE on band 12 since it's not a certified device. You would be better off buying the tmobile note 5 N920T unless those things I mentioned don't matter to you.
Supported Bands:
2G/Voice Bands: 850/900/1800/1900
3G/HSPA Bands: 850/900/1900/2100
LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12/17/25/26/28/38/39/40/41

Oh ya, I totally forgot about the wifi calling features. from tmobile. I will get the tmobile note 5 instead then. Thanks for the details information.

Found a local seller here for a brand new tmobile phone. $500 I texted him earlier regarding the phone.
Good thing I ask is the phone already paid off. I am sure some buyer don't remember to ask then end up having problem.

If the phone is not paid off I would not buy it. I would use an upgrade, Jump or Jump on Demand. Jump on Demand would probably be best if you like to switch phones often.
Oneplus 7 Pro's LTE bands are "B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,32,66".
Is it just a small problem?
edit :
AT&T : 2/4/5/12/17/29/66
T-Mobile : 2/4/5/12/46/48/66/71
Verizon Wireless : 2/4/5/13/46/48/66
Band 71 is present, but just contradicts with their other info where band 71 isn't present.
FDD LTE: B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,32,66
TDD-LTE: B34,38,39,40,41
TDS: B34,39
UMTS: B1,2,4,5,8,9,19
CDMA: BC0,BC1
GSM: B2,3,5,8
I checked https://www.cellmapper.net/ to check on the bands, but seems like it shouldnt be that big of an impact for me since it's not that many in my area. Or am I wrong ? I think it'll impact rural areas more with less towers.

Maybe a typo? I can't imagine no band 71

T-Mobile will sell the OnePlus 7 Pro with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage for $0 down and $29.17 per month for 24 months on an Equipment Installment Plan. T-Mobile will also offer the OnePlus 7 Pro through JUMP! On Demand, with JOD pricing set at $0 down and $31 per month for an 18-month lease. T-Mo will sell the OnePlus 7 Pro in Nebula Blue and Mirror Grey.
As you’d expect from a brand new flagship phone on T-Mobile, the OnePlus 7 Pro supports all of T-Mo’s LTE network features. That includes 600MHz (LTE band 71) as well as 4×4 MIMO, 256 QAM, License Assisted Access (LAA), and carrier aggregation.

Just talked to OP Rep, they said they dont have information on it. I doubt they know.
But imma drop by the pop up store today maybe. I'll ask, but I doubt they know too.
I wish someone would confirm it. I really don't want to buy a phone from tmobile.
pop up didn't have unlocked. was just a regular t mobile store. everyone didnt know much info about the phone. sorry.

I don't want the T-Mo version, the unlocked one on their site has all of the bands including 66, and 71.
My main question I need answered before buying this phone is whether RCS will work on the unlocked one. Otherwise I'll wait and pay more for the Note 10
My Telco uses band 3 and 40. I purchased my op 7p from the US site, as per the site, the American op store version has band 3 but not 40. Do u guys know if this can be changed via software or is it the hardware?
The version in India has both band 3 and 40.

I would like to know this too - B40 support for OP7Pro North America model.
I am interested in B40 which seems very important for India.
