US N5 Set | Singapore Usage - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I want to get the N5. However, as I stay in Singapore, I would need to get it from other countries as there are no confirm release date in Singapore.
Just like to check, does the N5 sold in Amazon works in Singapore?
Thanks!

Hi, from SG too.
US version only works on 2G. (Yes, no 3g due to our 2100 Mhz)
I'm considering getting UK version but it will cost a BOMB.
UK version have at least LTE network, sadly no 3g too. So, its either LTE / 2G

I am considering getting the Japan set. Heard that it might work. Todayonline state that it will come to singapore on late nov while HWZ say that it wont come.
I don't know which is a credible source...

I'd say neither. Lol.
Anyway US set N5 has working 3G what.. Just no LTE... If not then all those importing US set N5 pay for nothing..
Japan set is D821 ie international version so yes it will work

Have you try contacting theopensurface? Local store that carries all google stuff and they already started selling Nexus 5 last week (both US and International version are available)

I'm using my N5 now and I do have 3G. Korean set.

Well. US Google play didn't state 2100 MHz frequency which is needed for our local 3g band

[Q] UK Galaxy Nexus Compatible with US Bands?

I was watching some videos of the GN on youtube and saw that AT&T service was on one of them. I was wondering if I bought an unlocked version through eBay if it'd work on T-Mobile bands. Thanks in advance

According to this : http://goo.gl/8qoeo in UK you have 3G on 2100.... in USA you different operators that use different frequencies.
T-Mobile uses the same frequencies so your phone will work, on AT&T will still work but you will not have 3G but GPRS or EDGE. Check out on google the operators and their frequencies and compare them.
It will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile http://www.phonebuff.com/2011/11/uk-galaxy-nexus-work-t-mobile-att/

P6200 US 3G At&t or T-Mobile?

I'm currently deployed in Afghanistan and ordered the 6200 to work with GPRS out here, sadly enough that's the only reliable data connection available. I googled at&t and T-Mobile frequency bands but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at.
Could someone please let me know which carrier I'll be able to use this on with 3G when I return home next year? Thanks!

As long as it is sim unlocked then it should (technically) work with either one on 3G since AT&T uses the 850/1900MHz frequency and T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100MHz. The model you have (P6200) is listed for 900/1900/2100MHz frequencies for 3G.
It will work on both of them under 2G for sure since it is quad-band GSM.

This is just a guess based on what little I know about these things so I can't guarantee this.

That's exactly what I'm confused about. If T-Mobile uses 1700/2100 does that mean the device only needs to support 2100 or both?

It will only works on att, I have the same unlocked phone, tried tmo and only getting edge. Yea, mine comes with phone ability and unlocked

Asus Padfone in USA?

I want to know if someone is using the Asus Padfone in the USA. (or other Countries)
I'm a little confused with the issue of carriers and their specifications and compatibility.
I would like to use Padfone on GSM with 3G or HSPDA+ (i.e. AT&T)
I see Padfone for sale on eBay and information you can give me would help me to order Padfone from Taiwan to USA.
All info are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

After researching I discovered that compatibility of Padfone depends of UMST / HSDPA especification.
Asus Padfone USMT/HSDPA: 900, 2100 MHz
Compatibility: Europa (partial), Asia, Australia (NOT Americas)
Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100) USMT/HSDPA: 800, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz
Compatibility: International (World)
That would explain why Asus Padfone launched in Australia and Italy soon.
Conclusions: we have to wait for the U.S. (or Americas) version. Very disappointing.
I hope this information will help you...
The Padfone will work on AT&T. It will only, however, work on Edge off of AT&T. You'll be stuck with 2G speeds. Unless you wait for the 3G/H+/LTE version released specifically for the US.
There wont be a US version, at least not anytime soon. I had emailed Hai Trat at asus a few months back asking about the padfone. He said that as of now there are no plans on bringing it to the US market. They feel (as well as the carriers) that the market is too saturated over here. He did say he would let me know if this ever changed but it doesnt look like it will.
exact quote from the email:
"For the Padfone. I do not think it will be released in North American shores. The market it too saturated over here with cellular devices and our partnerships with USA/CANADA cellular carriers view it the same way. I’ll let you know if this changes."
I do think the international version should be compatible with ATT bands. Most international phones seem to have the same bands as ATT. It's the TMO bands that are a pain in the ass because they use the AWS band for their 3G/H+
According to TheVerge and GSMArena its already in the US

Been waiting for this since they first showcased it back when it still had the silver stripe on the back over the camera Sucks I've been waiting for nothing. This is disappointing news, but thank you for this info. I appreciate it
I bought one in Taiwan and brought it with me on vacation to the US. I used the AT&T prepaid sim with it with no problems.

I brought one from mainland China to Austin, TX. It works fine with AT&T prepaid card but only works on the slow EDGE2 network. Because padfone runs 3G on WCDMA using the European frequency, I don't think it will be compatible with any US telecom operator regarding 3G net.

Were you able to use the phone (calling + texting) capabilities in the US? How slow does it run using EDGE? Thanks
User Experiences in US?
I've been thinking of getting one of the PadFones, but I was interested in hear everyones' experiences (esp. using the cellular internet) before I made my decision. Anyone have any?
Just got the Padfone Infinity from eBay. I'm with AT&T and can only get 2G (Edge) data speeds unfortunately.
Asus Padfone Infinity 2
Hi, guys a few days ago Asus present the second generation of Padfone Infinity, this new generation supports four UMTS bands (850, 900, 1900 and 2100) like Galaxy International version.
This fact is confirmed in GSMArena and Engadget website.
I hope this information helps.

[Q] D821 (Rest of the World model) use in Canada

Hi,
Looking for some advice. I've recently purchased a British Google Nexus 5 from Google Play. However I plan to move to Canada shortly.
-> Would the lack of support for LTE band 4 on the D821 model result in any problems in Canada? (I was hoping to join either Koodo or Virgin mobile on 4G).
Much appreciated

Rogers runs on 2600mhz as well. And Bell has 2600mhz in some markets.

Ok thanks.
Looks like Bell (and companies using their network) don't have 2600mhz in Ottawa so that's out.
Do you know if Fido has access to Roger's 2600mhz network around the Ottawa region? (I'm trying to find a month by month contract)
I might be better off returning my current Nexus :/
Rogers claims that their 2600mhz is available in all LTE markets. Fido uses the Rogers network so it will have the same reception as Rogers.

[Q] Will Nexus 5 bought in Google Play USA works in Netherlands (Europe) ??

Dear Nexus 5 Users,
I've been using HOX till this date and happy with it. My friends are coming from USA to Netherlands in another 4 weeks, so I've planned to upgrade my HOX to N5, when I've checked the price in Google play store USA, I saw it for just $400 for 32 gb model. It says the product is Unlocked, but when i was checking the sites for any compatibility issues when used in Europe (Netherlands), there has not been a clear answers given.
So, I'm sorry If my question sounded Dumb...kindly answer my question...
Will LTE work in Europe..??
I believe the google play store sells the unlocked model of nexus 5...also i believe it does support GSM Triband and I'm 95% confident that N5 bought in google play USA will work in Netherlands...but i believe N5 XDA users can confirm it...

i guess he will bring the D820 (North America model): GSM and 3G will work in Europe normally but not LTE(4G) because most of 4G operators in Europe use Band 3 (1800 MHZ) or 7 (2600 MHZ) or 20 (800 MHZ) and D820 does not support these bands as LTE (any way check on what band your operator provide the LTE) see here for band list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
if he can find the D821 version, then you will be able to use 4G in Europe for sure.
see here difference between D820 and D821 regarding 4G file:///C:/Users/Samer/Desktop/Differences%20between%20the%20two%20Nexus%205%20models,%20D820%20and%20D821.htm
