I've North American version that has CDMA radio.
In my country there is CDMA wireless provider.
Is it possible to configure my Nexus 5 to work with this provider network and if yes how this can be done?
I could not find any CDMA configuration in the phone's menu.
Also is it possible to work in dual (GSM+CDMA) mode?

I just got off the phone with Telus and what they told me is that they are releasing ANOTHER TP2 on the GSM network and that I would have to buy another phone TP2 just to get onto the GSM network.
This being said, is there any way to modify the radio signal in my CDMA phone to read both CDMA and GSM, or atleast get more speed out of my phone for connectivity to the net?
*update
I just got off the phone with HTC and the lady I spoke with told me, that to change the radio frequency I just had to change the ROM. That being said IF, I put a Telus HSPA ROM on there the phone should be capable of working on the network. Now that being said. If this is possible would it not be possible to run on both networks, CDMA and HSPA, making the signal control software dependent, meaning I have CDMA controls for standard phone calls and HSPA for running the highspeed network?
Update in previous post.
Eazy, just HardSPL and security unlock your radio bro...Only then you can use the GSM networks in your country (I'm guessing it's US)
But you can only activate one at a time. Either GSM only or CDMA only..CMIIW..
Just my 2 cents
Actually it's Canada
Right but if I unlock the phone, and switch it back and forth on and off the networks, how would that affect my account, could I hide the fact i was doing this?

I have this phone on Telus...I got it unlocked and I put my work sim card in this phone and it's on rogers. I switch networks when necessary....If you get a Telus sim card you would be able to use it GSM.
You should be able to pick which network you use. I saw it in phone settings, I think.

TELUS does not provide GSM at all. They are CDMA and UMTS.
So does this mean its possible. If i have a CDMA Sprint HTC Touch pro 2. That i have the potential of using it on At&t in the US?? All i have to do is unlock it?? Any information would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks!!
And if one does unlock a radio on said Telus phone, can one use both radio frequencies, thus enabling both CDMA and HSPA frequencies?

So Telus new 3G network is not GSM? It does have drop down menu showing "Send SMS over" GMS and CDMA. GSM is selected by default.
I own a photon q 4g and did the sim mod
i live in the netherlands where the 4g frequencies are at 800mhz,1800mhz and 2600mhz
when i use the *#*#4636#*#* code i can see the different bands you can select but there is no EU setting
but if i look at screenshots of QPST i can see that the frequencies are usable.
Does anyone think it is possible to get the phone working with dutch 4G?
Is it possible to use QPST on a modded phone with cyanogenmod?

What you are looking at is the UMTS and GSM Part, not LTE.
So that's nothing that tell you about usable frequencies.
Besides the LTE part of the Photon Q is using the "flashed" SIM-ID (or whatever name it has).
It can't use the SIM-card from the SIM mod.
sim ic

but you remove the sim ic in the mod you substitute the sim card for the ic dont you?
Afaik the SIM-IC is/was used for GSM and WCDMA only.
LTE, CDMA etc. is using some in the phone flashed entries.
If you can correct me, please do it. I would love to be wrong.
what rom u are using? and what was your base (cspire / sprint) ?
rom
right now i am using the gsm version of cyanogenmod 10.1 the phone was a sprint phone originally.
I would love to now how the phone ties up the customer to the lte network (aka 4G) as all 4g phones over here do that with a sim card not through the system cdma uses. Or am i wrong altogeter and is an american lte network compleatly different as opossed to a european one?
i have a unlocked reddot mobile R50 (pretty sure a chinese clone). its a mtk6572 device with dual sim, rooted and running 4.2.2
gsm bands are 850/900/1800/1900mhz
dual-band 3g WCDMA 850/2100mhz
i'm using an att straight talk sim. i'm getting full bars but only getting edge. according to "mobile radio frequency" i'm on gsm 850. it don't change wherever i go.
so my questions are:
is it supposed to stay on 850 or is it supposed to change depending on where your are?
is there a universal way to change it for example some samsung phones have a hidden service menu via dial code. i've tried all dial codes but don't have a hidden menu.
any way to do it by editing the sim with dfs or something?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I accidentally purchased the CDMA/LTE variant (XT1042) but I want to use it for GSM/HSPA+ (with Claro) when I put in SIM all it says is SIM is from an unknown source and I don't get any signal, when I enter the mobile network settings I noticed all I have under preferred network type is LTE/CDMA & CDMA.
Is there any way I can unlock the radios so it can work in GSM?? On the specs It does support such frequencies!!
Please help! Am I screwed??
I believe you just may be, because CDMA and GSM are two entirely different networking technologies to my understanding.

what? did you say I may or may not?
The technologies are not interchangeable, so unless you register it with a CDMA carrier, it won't work on your GSM service.
Hi i buy one used HTC EVO 3D CDMA(no sim slot), but i use WCDMA/3G or GSM carrier (with SIM card).
Please someone know if:
1 - If buy USB SIM reader in ebay, may i get all information needed from SIM to flash in CDMA ship?
2 - If flash the radio of HTC EVO 3D GSM version in the CDMA version, i can use this in GSM network? or hardware are diferent?
Thanks you
I find this patch for android to enable global CDMA phone to work in GSM network, but who i know if HTC EVO 3D is global phone?
"If you have a Global Phone for CDMA Network and you want correctly use it on GSM Network than you have to edit the build.prop file to fully enable the GSM\UMTS and you have to set APNs to use 3g data"
