Yes read the specifications. This is a fut unlocked phone. It will work in India on 3g. I don't know where India is with 4g/LTE. My dad is taking 2 nexus 5s to India for family.

Battery life is up to how you use it but bugs and bootloops are not happening out of box.
For me coming from Note 3, battery life is still ok. Lasts me the day. :good:

Actually, I had a case where the phone would get stuck at the boot animation out of the box, and factory images did not help.

I don't know will the phone be locked. At first, I was like other who think this can only be unlock. But after I read around, I heard if a person buy the phone from some US carrier w/ contract(at least that's what I heard about Sprint anyway), it's locked. So, the question about whether it's lock or not, it's best to ask your uncle who get the phone for you, how does he get the phone?

he is normally going to buy phone. I guess from amazon or google. Idk. He is not going to buy on contract.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted out of the box and its been fine. But its still new technology so there can be issues.
So far my phone is flawless.

He was refering to rooting it as soon as he opened the box.
Better question than sim lock is the supported bands
Model LG-D820 (North America)
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
Model LG-D821 (Rest of World)
WCDMA bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
May need to look into that. But that's only for LTE. if he's doesn't care about LTE and only need gsm then i guess won't be a problem

Assuming XDA made their own tablet and phone that run JB Support Cyanogenmod and CWM / TWRP and are completely open designed with root out of the box, would you buy them?
Also if you say no, why? What if they donated to cancer research or its the only way the site could stay open?
I personally would as CM + CWM / TWRP + JB would be FTW!
I say no, not because I wouldn't support XDA but because Verizon would never let me activate such a device on their network. Open? Rooted? Which carriers would go for that?

Unfortunately, I have to agree with Scott. No way carriers would allow an open and rooted phone go on their network. Although, Republic wireless' phones (I think they have one right now) runs a modified version of CM7 to work on their network, which is a slave to Sprint.
So maybe that would be the future. Eventually.
I, for one, would buy it. Especially if it were built by Samsung or ASUS

Don't use Verizon. Slap a gsm sim in there.
What if XDA made their own network?

What on earth are you talking about? People use unlocked phones on t-mobile and at&t (as well as smaller networks based off them) all the time. There's pretty much nothing to stop you from just plopping a sim card in there and using it.
Perhaps you're confusing "carriers" with "cdma carriers", who do pull the have-to-use-our-fones screw-you-over trick.
Has long has it has the same signal, shouldnt it be able to connect to any network ? I know that there would be no problem with that and i would definitively buy it. 100% sure.

Log in on the Vivo website and tell me the name of the plan they put for you.
Last week when I called them to get the 4G plan they put me on Multivivo 4G+ which is totally different from Smartphone 4G+.
I wasn't getting 4G at all. Later they found their mistake and fixed it. Now I get 4G perfectly.
hmmm mine is corporate... they told me to wait up to 24hrs bs.... anyways, i need to wait, otherwise i'll call again and make sure i'm on "smartphone 4g+"? that is the correct one?

It should be listed as SMART ILIM 4GPL 60* SMS+DDD-TIT
*60 is the amount of minutes you get from the plan. It can be a different number depending on the plan you get.

Sure, if you want to brick your radio.
By the way, LTE bands are not software limited. Flashing a radio will not open up bands

Not concerned with the bands just the reliability.

they do not use the same radio. the radio for the note 3 has att files included, and has been tested for att by att. the nexus 5 radio uses a more generic form of radio, since google doesnt let the carriers add anything to any nexus. flashing the note 3 radio would essentially make the nexus 5 radio stop working completely, forever.

Hi,
I got my Nexus 5 from a 3rd party Sprint Dealer, known as Wirefly.com -- Is anyone having problems accessing 4G LTE from Sprint? I am in the 100% best coverage zones according to Sprint.
I have done heaps of troubleshooting steps with Sprint, to no avail. They are blaming it on a faulty phone.
Anyone else having this issue?
Its been happening since I received the phone on Dec 4th.
Thank you

Sprint tech support has been hit or miss. I have been told that there is tower problems from Baltimore to Southern Virginia, then another tech support agent tells me no problems at all!
I do not know what to believe anymore or what to do!

First, thank you for your replies. I am not too up to date with rooting and such, so I apologize for that in advance.
The most I can get is LTE with 1 bar. That has been when I am driving around.
I can see the tower from my Condo, and according to their coverage maps, I should be getting "LTE Best" at home and work.
Thank you again.

I switched from TMobile to Sprint (in-contract, so I had to pay to get out of TMobile) with the hopes of Sprint being better, but as of now, I have not seen that at all!

If you are on 4.4.2 then you need to root and flash a different modem or wait for google to send out an update.
Since you are getting lte but with a weak signal this is most likely the problem of course coverage maps are very vague and it may be that you are just too far from the tower.

I'm not really sure what is involved in making this work, but it seems strange to do it for the new "standard" phones and not the current premium one. Maybe there will be some way to port it over? I'd love to have this working but I don't really want to downgrade my phone to do so.

Cool. I just ordered a XZ Premium of swappa. I'll give it a go for a bit until the V30 comes out.
I called T-Mobile and got the APN data seems to work pretty well. I get LTE signal now but I don't know if that includes VOLTE. I'm pretty noob with some of this, so I'm not sure how this all shakes down
The problem is when you make a call, it switches from LTE and changes to HSPA. You will run into problems when your area has no HSPA and full LTE. In that scenario, you will not be able to make calls.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I was just on an extended back and forth with Sony Xperia support (3 different times today) and they assured me that the XZ Premium does indeed support wifi calling through T-Mobile US. Maybe they baked Volte into Oreo?
Unless it's baked into an upcoming update, this is not the case. I sold mine a few weeks ago, but it had Oero already and it didn't have wifi calling or VOLTE on T-Mobile.
