Hi everyone,
Just bought nexus 5 on ebay and thought it was d821,the seller told me that it is d820. My question is, will it work fine here in Saudi Arabia and when I try to go home in Philippines, no issues at all?
Thanks.
You may or may not be able to get LTE connectivity (depending on which LTE bands are used by those network providers) - but 3g and voice should work regardless on any GSM carrier.

Hi,
Have you got your Nexus D820 in your hand, Is it working in KSA calling and 3g? Please confirm which network it's working with Mobily, STC, Zain?
Thanks in advance, appreciate your support.

Well I got the D820 and I live in Dubai. 3G works with Etisalat except for the LTE which doesn't support the local LTE bands here.

I ordered D820 from Amazon and I tried different SIMs even have Etisalat SIM here in Saudi Arabia with roaming but it always says "SIM not detected"

Have you tried more than one sim card? Actually, the problem could be from the phone. It could be a defect. Nothing to do with whether the carrier supports it or not. If there's a sim card in there then it shouldn't say " Sim not detected"

I have a D820 and it works in Syria over Syriatel, and since we don't have LTE in here so it's the same for me.

My Nexus will be here tomorrow and I'm wanting to sign up with AIO's $60 plan. On their site it is asking for an IMEI. My concern is that the new Nexus IMEI may not be compatible with their 4g network. Has anyone else had success with AIO? I don't want to be stuck on 3g. Should I be seeking an IMEI from another device as a work-around? If so, what device, and where? My current phone is a 1st gen HTC Evo with sprint. Any help and advice is much appreciated!
Ive been wondering the same thing also.

They're using AT&T's network, I'm on it right now and get HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE. Works 100% fine. Used the same SIM card on my nexus 4 and had great service.

I've also wondered if AIO's LTE (AT&T) will work on the N5. So you have the N5 and it is working no problem? How are the speeds on LTE and HSPA+ (yes i know they throttle, just wondering how it feels)??

Unfortunately i don't have have a Sim to swap. I'm wondering if I order one using the IMEI from the new Nexus 5 will I be able to access 4g? Or will I be bumped to 3g because the Nexus 5 does not show up in their system?
Using Aio SIM from my N4 with not so good reception where I live and getting decent speed.
FYI, the N4 wasn't in their system either and needed the EMEI to activate.
Activating a nexus 5 on aio will be a cake walk. Nothing like the problems people over on sprint are having.

Hello everyone. If this has been made and asked already I do apologize. I just wanted to see what kind of speeds you all are getting on 4g. Here's my speed on LTE.

It depends on the signal really. ..I took one where I had great signal and it was brilliant. . But in my house get about 20 - 35mb

Pretty standard Australian speed.
Just a shame I only get 3GB a month.
That's pretty impressive Jema. Don't even get that on my home broadband ? and I got unlimited. .. don't use more than 10gb at all

DROOOOOLLS looking at those 4G speeds as its faster than my fibrebroadband. Hopefully with get that elusive 4G in my area sooner rather than later as i have an unlimited connection and Three have said they will provide free update to 4G when area is updated for 4G. Presently stuck on 3G speeds or my wifi speeds.

It depends from region where we are. At home the 4G is good, on my pack from 50 Mb/s I have sometimes 52 Mb/s.
At two Km from my home, only whit 3G, I have Your speed 16 Mb/s in test but the connection is 4G. Not region 4G in this case.

Hey all.
Lifelong Verizon user looking at the Nexus 5. Would have to go with Sprint as they are the only other carrier with coverage in my area (and only 3G for the time being).
I've had many Android devices in the past and have unlocked/rooted/flashed them all. I'm only used to CDMA/LTE and seeing carrier specific branding on custom ROMs though. Does it not matter with the N5? I thought there was a difference between Sprint (LTE) and AT&T/T-Mobile (GSM) but perhaps I'm mistaken. Would appreciate any clarification.
Thanks.
Nexus 5 isn't available for Verizon. Nexus has the radio frequencies for sprint T-Mobile and at&t so all you need is the APN and it works

Yeah like I said I'd be looking at switching to Sprint. Curious about the custom ROM question I posed, thanks.

Look for small local GSM or cdma carriers in your area such as mine in Hawaii we have mobipcs and they told me the nexus 5 works on their network

Sadly I'm from a farm community and we don't have much here. Verizon and US Cellular CDMA/LTE and Sprint 3G are the only carriers we have with data coverage.

Welcome to the nexus 5 world if you can hold for a couple more months and want T-Mobile they will usually follow behind after At&t

Sprint should have lte everywhere in the coming months. If its not there yet it will be soon.
With custom roms most have cdma implemented and work fine.
What is your location?

Hello,
I bought a Nexus 5 in late 2013 from the french playstore. Now I have moved to the US and I am wondering if the phone is expected to work perfectly on AT&T or if it will have some restrictions.
It is unlocked, rooted with stock (5.0.1) if it matters.
It seems it cannot benefit of LTE / 4G of AT&T but I would like to confirm that (maximum i can get is HSPA +)
Thank you!
Jon
It'll work just fine up to HSPA+. I use a D821 from Australia on H2O which is an MVNO that uses at&t.

Maybe try that and enable radio band 4 and the other one should be able to connect to LTE after on AT&T

Let me know if it works
Should work tho enable band 4 and get LTE on AT&T

funny, i just called google to confirm and see if there is actually different models, they just say the LTE should just work fine, it does not matter if bought from france or not....

If the phone doesn't have it you can't make it have it. You cannot unlock bands that are not there.

Why do you keep saying that. The phone has it. The specs says it does. Try googling unlock bands there are a couple I found on xda. One was for nexus n the other OE was for opo. The D850 is a little different because of art n I wanted something meant for this particular phone

Because 1 phone can doesn't mean others can... The G3 is not the same as a OPO or a nexus. The reason why some can is the band is locked out in software but is available in hardware. Remember bands rely on the actual hardware of the device. With the D850 if it doesn't have the band it won't ever have the band. And non of the bands are software locked to my knowledge. But if they are there's no way around it at this time.
If the D850 does indeed have lte band 1800 then it could be an issue with your APN or your carrier is using a different lte band.
Sent from my HTCD100LVW using Tapatalk
Thank you so much. The phone has the band I'm sure I've checked multiple forums for the specs. So the band is there. I've checked with the APN which are also right. The ISP uses 1800 and the note 3 n9005 works great. It's just this phone something is wrong and I want to know what.

Theres been a few posts on Band 1800 with the D850 and it doesnt seem to work. So I doubt there's a chance of it working.
Please share those links with me. Why doyou think that is the case?

Just google it there's several posts about it. Because if that band is actually there hardware wise it is being locked by the modem and in which no one has a way around that.
