My current phone can't work in Europe which apparently uses a different system than in the US. Will the nexus 5 work in Europe?
If you buy a nexus 5 from the US you cannot get 4G/LTE in Europe. If you buy a nexus 5 from anywhere it is sold through Google play that is not the US/Canada you will get 4G/LTE. 3G works as per normal.

hahah. You know you're a geek when your auto correct knows the name "Torvalds". I was trying to type "or a"
There is no way to have D820 working on Europe LTE ?

No because LTE uses a different frequency in europe
Yo, Brainiacs. Are you aware that Europe is not a single country ?
There are like dozen different LTE frequencies there.

Which country are we talking here about specifically ?

yop Brainiac, can't you see that all european countries use bands 3, 7 and 20 ?
So the country doesn't matter
Is this setting set in stone in the hardware, or will devs be able to hack the phone's radio firmware to get band 3/7/20 support? I don't need CDMA.

It's not a setting, but yes it is a hardware limitation

Care to explain a little bit more detailed about the hardware difference between 820 and 821, if you know?
I am just curious about what did they change that much.
I see there is a new hack that enables other LTE channels for the NExus 5 D820/D821. Does this now mean I can edit my phone to work on Tmo LTE here in the US? I went through 15 pages or so on the thread and cannot find a direct answer.
Thanks!
thats because there is no direct answer. the most in detail answer for you is.. you can try.
So, I guess my question should be re-worded as...
Has anyone done the hack to a D821 and been able to use North America T-Mobile full LTE properly?
Anyone?
Hey all,
So I recently have been looking into Chinese phones and have realized that there are some great competitively priced phones on the market, in particular I am interested in the Lenovo Lemon k3. However I have T-mobile, which support Bands 2, 4 and 12 for 4G LTE, most Chinese phones however do not support those bands. I was wondering if its possible to root and then mod any of these phones to support all Bands, I dont want to buy one and be stuck using 2G coverage.
Thanks,

If PhoneA supports LTE bands B2/4/5/17 and PhoneB supports B2/71 and AT&T has B2/4/5/17, will both phones practically work the same? Or will PhoneA be a better option since it supports various bands of AT&T?

Hi all,recently bought a second hand s7 edge , i'm in Australia, and realised a few days later after having reception issues in rural areas , that it was a g935v.Great!So i rooted and downloaded g935 u nougat so i have more LTE bands and to get rid of verizon rubbish.i have all lte bands i need except 28 . I accessed service mode via hidden menu and checked bands and 28 is not listed at all.
Wondering if anyone know's if 28 is actually in the qualcomm chip and if so how i can enable it.I did a search and found a thread about us sims and a cdma tool , downloaded and tried but no luck...?My carrier is Telstra if relevant....
Cheers.

I don't have this device but, according to the following link...
http://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-sm-g935u/specs/3327
... someone has provided feedback regarding both the LTE Bands 17 & 28. The member stated "The FM radio chip has finally been activated (thanks to the Nougat update), and the G935U has LTE bands 17 and 28.".
You can always try to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device for some additional feedback regarding this as well.
