Not true at all, look at the price tmobile is selling it for. Tmobile is more than Google play. I bought my N4 for 300 at the time before the price cut hapoen and tmobile still charges 400+.

[Q]Tethering issues??

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.

[Q] About the Nexus 5 forums.

I am thinking of dropping my grandfathered unlimited data from AT&T and moving to T-Mobile. Is this the forums for the T-Mobile version of the Nexus 5 or all Nexus 5's.

all nexus 5, theres no tmobile nexus 5 xda forums.

All nexus 5's are the same whether you buy it at the T-Mobile store, Sprint store, Google Play or Best Buy. All roms work, all kernels work. No need for more than one forum.

To clarify, there are 2 models of the Nexus 5. D820 for North America and D821 for Rest of the world.
Same ROMs, Same Kernels, NOT same radios.

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.
