I purchased a Nexus 5 and I know that it doesn't support the VZW lte band. My question is, doesn't the Nexus 5 have the same SoC as the LG G2? If so, does anyone think they can get the LG G2 radio flash for the VZW version to work on the Nexus 5 to make it work with VZW?
It may be possible but may brick your phone. But this is a message I got when I put in my Sim card. Not sure if it helps at all.

I found this and have been making posts on this thread. Someone else has the same idea, but no one has seemed to have tried it yet.

Did you possibly go over your data plan limit?
Or running with a Sim from service that cant use the 4g service native to the phone?

I was told never to try to go on 4g. Um ... I don't think its possible for me to even download anything over at the speeds that I get right now. It goes off and on. It just sets really annoying. I didn't do the flashing or anything. I even try to manually to stay on "GSM/cdma auto prl " and choosing the radioband to "USA "

I have no idea. I just bought this phone off Craigslist and it was boost ready. Sorry I know I'm not a big help

Don't know much about cdma. when I was researching flashing a broken epic to see if its worth fixing the screen, I notice you need a boost 3g phone to do it. Could be that it wasn't. Could be your plan, area. Have you done a speed test?

Where can I do a speed test? Well the last one I had was a flip phone Motorola from boost. For a couple times I thought that could be

since google no longer sells the unlocked gsm samsung nexus, does anyone think the value will possibly go up on Dealextreme?
I don't think so. Since the launch of nexus 4, the only wayvi can see someone paying more for the GN is if he desperately craves LTE. So in US it might go up, but in other parts of the world, very slim chance

I thought GNex is still only a HSPA+ device, same as the Nexus 4. Or am I wrong?

So on my nexus 4 i could tether everywhere and anywhere and not get charged. Now i got the nexus 5 and its asking me for a tethering plan??
Does it have something to do with the rom? I had a custom one on the nexus4 here im on stock.

Which carrier / country? You may need to update a .db file if you're trying to tether on TMO prepaid.

I have had a bad experience with T-Mobile witch is causing me to sell my nexus 5 . since I have a grand father plan unlimited data T-Mobile said they don't support my nexus 5 until I change my plan to a new one with throttles. As much as I love her its up for sale. 32gb nexus 5 . just thought I'll share ..why is T-Mobile doing this !!!
Sent from my LG-G2 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
FYI, I read a while ago that tmo plans to move every one off of those plans and "bring them into current pricing." Might be worth keeping the phone and just changing to a current plan. You can still get unlimited w/no throttling. I have unlimited every thing for $70 w/ no contract and I don't think anything is throttled. You would have to do it at some point, might as well look at what will work for you. Good luck!

T-Mobile still has unlimited data without throttling, why not go with that?

This. i dont understand what you mean by unsupported.
my nexus 5 works quite fine on tmobile.
How much are you selling it for?:silly:
How would T-Mobile even know what phone you are using? I mean obviously it will show on the network but I highly doubt they are flagging nexus 5 phones and making sure only some people are using them.

I was expecting there to be pictures of a smashed Nexus 5 because it got run over by a car or something.

Not on TMobile, but they don't fake their numbers..must be a Sprint thing.../snort. Very odd.
This is the first time it's done it. So funny.

Never happened on any of the six N5 I used (EU model, D821), nor on my 2012 N7 3G.
I haven't seen this issue on N5.
It happened to me once when I had Galaxy Nexus.
I think it depends on the server where you are downloading from.
In this particular case it seems to be google play.
Are you using any apps to get to the market? I know people from outside of US are using them.
