Anyone know if the Nexus 5 will come to Sprint????

Hello all!! Im on sprint so I didnt get the nexus 4 and i wanted so bad.. Is there any word on if the new Nexus 5 will come to sprint this time around?? Man i sure hope so..

I am not completely sure, but sprint basically has the same freq. as Wind (in Canada) so I'd expect it to work.
These are supposed to be Sprint's Freq.:
LTE Advanced Worldmode: Sprint LTE, 800/1900 CDMA, 850/900/1800/1900/2100 GSM/UMTS
Advanced Worldmode: 800/1900 CDMA, 850/900/1800/1900/2100 GSM/UMTS
Worldmode: 800/1900 CDMA and 900/1800 GSM

Leaks so far suggest there will be at least two different Nexus 5 models. The model leaked last week (called LG-D820) had wireless radios that could support AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile LTE.

I think it will come to sprint per Anand tech... At least they say it's compatible with cdma...
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7283/potential-nexus-5-fcc-disclosure-reappears-lgd820
What I want to know if it's triband lte compatible with Sprint. It looks like it is... From the Anandtech document because it supports bands 25, 26 and 41 which are the lte bands that Sprint use.... But not 100% sure.

Dan Hesse should know the answer to this. Everyone else is just guessing based on the radio. Doesn't mean Sprint is picking it up.
Sprint does look like it is trying to be the good guys again and trying to play into what people want. I would be surprised to not see Sprint pick it up. Verizon, that is another story. They could not care less about making people happy.

This is my question as well. It would determine whether or not the G2 is my target for my next phone, or if the Nexus 5 will be in my sights.

Man I hope sprint let's us activate it. That's the only thing I'm worried about .

Just because it doesn't support the LTE 13 band, could it still come up and grab a signal (just no LTE?).
Also what I find interesting is the discussion of the radio that is a "Adjustable Tuner", so couldn't it just "tune in" to the frequencies we need for Verizon?
And if there are 2 models, one for AT&T, TMOBILE, and SPRINT... whats the second one for?

Well I hope it will be n Sprint as in many sites it is clearly mentioned that it will come up with the support of LTE that was not in Nexus 4..then there must be a probability that it will come in Sprint too....

Even if it's for sprint I highly suggest you don't get it. If you need a reason just go through the Galaxy Nexus Toroplus forums. We're still trying to get a stable 4.3 build.

Here's a theory on why the Sprint bands are there even if Sprint does not end up selling it. Sprint is now owned by Softbank. Having the Sprint bands would allow those N5s sold in Japan by Softbank to work in the US on Sprint's network. Softbank does not have CDMA service in Japan they have 3G(WCDMA/HSPA) and LTE only.

I have a Verizon GNex Toro and I'm running 4.3 AOKP official nightlies and its flawless. Not sure why ToroPlus would be any different.
I doubt N5 is going to be on Verizon but I'm too leery of the G2. Damn Verizon.

Play Store to sell D821 on launch date?

I was wondering if the play store will sell the D821 version on launch date along with the US market version D820.
My carrier uses LTE band 7, which means D821 is my only option.
It's like when the Nexus S came out. There was an US version with 3G freq, and then there was a Canada version with different 3G freq.
Any of you remember how it went for the Nexus S ?
I bought the canadian version of the NS on ebay to have it work with my carrier.
Thanks.

With the way the Play Store automatically region locks (and with no option to manually change regions), I doubt any Nexus 5 model will be sold outside of its intended market.

Does that mean that you can't use the Nexus 5 outside the USA?
I am in Panama, and I had planned to buy the Nexus 5 and bring it into the country with me. I used the GT-I9505 and I9300 here, so I'd like to know before I waste my money, if this is the case.
I assumed it would be functional on any GSM network.

Oh, the GSM bands are the same on both models, it's just the LTE bands that are region-specific. D820 for the US, D821 for pretty much everywhere else it's sold.

Are you sure about this, I have never heard Google doing this and it would defeats the purpose of a Nexus. I owned every Nexus phone up to the 4 and they all work internationally. The device might not support all the frequencies, but they are fully unlocked and work anywhere.

I could be wrong though, but I bought mine either from online retaii, Nexus S from Newegg and GNex imported from Expansys, and a few 2nd hand versions which included Playstore version. The Nexus 4 was the first PlayStore version I bought, but I haven't bring it on international trips yet. I really don't think Google does this though since its not the point of the Nexus and I couldnt find any info on it online, it is possible some Nexus devices are released by specific carriers and gets region locked that way. However, I do know Google region lock their apps.
I only heard of Samsung doing region lock recently with their Note 3.

I do not mean that the phone is region locked. It is not. The Play Store itself is highly region specific. e.g. If you want to buy the Nexus 4 Charging Orb, that is not available from the UK Play Store. If nyou wanted to order it from the US Play Store, you cannot simply change a dropdown box from 'UK' to 'US', you have to (1) use a US-based proxy server (2) use a US-addressed credit/debit card (3) deliver to a US address.
According to the service manual, the GSM bands supported by both Nexus 5 models (D820, D821) are identical.
The difference is in the LTE band support. The D820 will work on LTE in the US, and D821 will work on LTE for EMEA, and there doesn't appear to be a far-eastern model (or at least, one has not leaked yet). It would be silly for Google to sell the D821 outside of the US, as the LTE bands would not be compatible with local networks (even though regular voice calling would work just fine).

What is the difference between different letters in front of NOTE 3 ??

Hi guys
I'm planning to buy SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3 from US probably (I'm from Europe) and I don't know the difference between NOTE 3 N9005 and
SM-N9005 and which one is better or the are the same? I think that SM-N9005 is from VERIZON network in USA.What is the difference and will it work in Europe?
Thanks
juno106

I ask myself the same question.
I do not claim to give a complete answer, but as far as my research (15 mintes) tells me, these are Samsung-intern designations that give information on the exact hardware specifications.
In case of the note 3, they mainly differ in supported data transfer standards, such as g2, g3, lte (these are German terms, no idea if they're globally applicable, the general idea should be clear nonetheless).
The weaker octacore chip can (or will or should) only be used with devices that support only standards g3 or lower.
hope this helps and hope i'm not completely wrong here.
btw, sm-n9005 has the stronger quadcore chip so you'd be safe buying that one.

Thank you for your reply.I searched internet as well,and I agree with you,but I just found out that VERIZON's NOTE 3 model has other numbers. It is : SM-N900V – U.S. Verizon Galaxy Note 3 !!! What does SM-900V now means?
Maybe they misinformed me that it is SM-N9005.

check out the us Samsung shopping site. googling note 3 sprint should get you there as well.
There you can compare full specs for all carriers

Yes I read that SM-N900V is VERIZON's model od Note 3,but also read somewhere that they have LOCKED BOOTLOADER.And after reading Verizon's NOTE 3 forum I found out that VERIZON still don't have KIT KAT update for their NOTE 3 (which is not the case with other mobile cariers in USA).So this makes VERIZON not that good idea.
Does anyone have any experience with it,and what problems will I have if the bootloader is locked for N-900V Note 3?

That just means that development for a variant with locked bootloader is going to be slower than unlocked variants. I'm not American but if I can give any advice it's this: don't go for carrier-locked variants ever if you can avoid it. Carrier contracts are more expensive in the long run than a one-off payment and their lust for control causes slower updates (if any) and more difficult development. Don't support those companies, just don't.

Being in Europe you should definitely go with the SM-N9005 . It's the most popular LTE radio model, and the most xda developed. Not really sure why you'd want to go with the Verizon Model.
P_

I'm considering NOTE 3 from USA,because I have someone over there ,who can get it for me cheaper then in Europe.That is why.But after reading all of the stuff (not that good) about VERIZON's version,I better not do it.But we will see,it depends on the price.

Just buy the International version which is SM-N9005. If it is from a carrier especially in US, the bootloader is locked. It might not work for your country since you are in France but you can unlock it. If you are concern for the update, you can update manually by using Odin. It is easier to wait for the stock firmware download to be finished that wait for the OTA to come

Purchasing of Nexus 5

Hello, I am going to buy this Nexus 5 in U.S. (NY) next week.
What should I know befor buying it? I am not from U.S. (from Israel).
What should I check or ensure?
I am going to buy it from T-MOBILT by the way.
Thank' guys!

You should know that you'll be buying the wrong version for use in Israel. There's two versions of the Nexus, one for North America (D820) and one for the rest of the world (D821), the difference being the radio bands that are supported, specifically the LTE bands. So while a North American model will work oversees for voice and 3G data, it won't for work 4G, as it doesn't support the proper bands.

Everything he said^^^^^^^. Also you should check out a few review videos on YouTube to get an idea of what the Nexus 5 has to offer.

why would i, as an american, need to generally buy a phone that is meant for European countries?
the US uses different LTE bands than the European countries, so thats why the hardware (note: radio only bands only) is different.

The reason why they get a Sprint device is because it's supposedly cheaper to buy a Sprint Note 5 than a global variant of the Note 5.
I think it's better to get a global variant and avoid the headache. It can't be THAT much cheaper.

I agree. Even if it's a hundred bucks cheaper, is it really worth the headache to get it working? For me, I'd say no. There are plenty of great unlocked devices that'll work anywhere in the world (Moto X Style, N6P, N5X, Moto G, most phones actually, now that i think of it), idk why they wouldn't look at those first.

I see in your words I have no solution

Sprint note 5 support gsm and cdma bands. All phones from note 4 and newer have all the radios to run on both . Do ##data# go to lte bands and look at all the band's available.
