Ok so, Verizon uses CDMA, and the only CDMA frequencies that would work are 2G, which is no bueno, so in that sense, I wouldn't really be able to use it on Verizon, BUT, the Nexus 5's LTE bands on the other hand are, some of them. Verizon's LTE uses the 700 and 1700 frequencies, which are both included in the Nexus 5.
So here's what I want to know, would I be able to use the Nexus 5 on Verizon, even if it'll only work in areas with LTE?

i searched google around for the similar problem and mostly they saying it wont be compatible and some sorts with their frequency and bands

Nexus 5 didn't compatible with Verizon at all.

The nexus 5 will register on the LTE network where certain markets have this band available for me Verizon does not (Hawaii). Only a certain handful of markets have this band. However Verizon won't allow the device to use the LTE network it will see it and recognize it but Verizon systems deny it.
Google and Verizon have a crippled relationship seeing the galaxy nexus slow updates and Verizon wanting to put bloatware on it and the nexus 7 LTE being denied when it first launched. I think Google wants no part in verizon.

Rogers Nexus S works on AT&T 3G Network?

I've purchased a Nexus S sold by Rogers, it was a steal! I got it for $305.93 (that includes tax and shipping)!
I was wondering if I could use it on AT&T 3G? I know the bands are not going to be a problem, so besides that and the APN settings.

This chart is pretty comprehensive... and up until 2004 it was called "Rogers AT&T Wireless" so it'll work.

Will Confirm this too.
My is an original Rogers, that was being used in US (ATT), then sold to me (rogers again)
3G works fine on both carriers. Mine is the I9020A.
Heeter
I have the white 9020a and it also works on AT&T. I needed to flash a new radio (KB3) in order to reach uncapped data speeds.
Thank you everyone, i'll update you guys on which nexus s i'll get in the mail. I hope its rogers!
it also worked for china NETCOM 3G, 2100 HSPA

Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 and T-Mobile 3g/HSPA+

I thought I would be able to find the answer to this with a simple google search or by searching here but it's harder than I had anticipated.
Basically, I want to buy another tablet since I sold my other two a while back (LG G Slate piece of crap and the first Galaxy tab 10.1 both having 3g).
I still have a MBB plan with T-Mobile so I wanted to get a 3g/4g capable tablet and was looking into the Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000.
I just wanted to find a DIRECT answer to the question: does it work with T-Mobile 3g/4g?
I may have found some hints toward my question but I needed a direct answer from all you experts; I'm just that kind of guy =/
Thanks!
As soon as I can confirm i'll be ordering from amazon.
Confirmed. The N8000 can get T-mobile 3G and only 3G if you are in an area that has T-mobile's refarmed 1900 frequency. No 4G.

Ah...
So only in refarmed areas...
This sucks >_>.
I couldn't wait so I placed my order with 1 day shipping haha.

Can you please clarify your reply. Are you saying it will only get 3G in the T-Mob refarmed areas.
Can you also explain what a T-Mob refarmed area is? I may be moving to the US soon and was considering purchasing a N8000 before I go and this may have an impact on my purchase.
Thanks

LG V10 ALL VARIANTS -> CANADIAN Wireless Carriers and Mobile Network compatibility

For the Canadians folks willing to get the LG V10 like myself, I put together all the LG V10 variants and carriers+network compatibilities in this table/picture attached.
I hope it will help!
I got the H961N from expansys.ca and it works like a charm with Rogers. I love this phone so much! I just wish LG would allow us Canadians to participate in their promo they had.

seems that Rogers deploys LTE band 7 (2600 MHz), Bell and Telus don't. HOw fast is your LTE connection? I went to a Rogers store to try their sim card, and I got the LTE connection, but only 3Mbps, really, my 3G from bell delivers 10Mbps.
I just did a speedtest :
37 ms ping, 112 Mb DL, 41 Mb UL

LTE band 7 on bell network using the v10.

Band 66 Disabled?

Now, this may only be some kind of internal miscommunication. But there is no Band 66 option in the Band Selection menu for T-Mobile variants. I was looking forward to testing Band 66/AWS-3 on this phone since I'm in a market that has it rolled out, but it seems like LG didn't enable it yet for whatever reason (maybe FCC, maybe T-Mobile request, etc).

It would be a carrier decision, not an LG decision so you have to contact Tmobile to see when the update will be rolled out
I was curious about band 66 as well. In the lte bands menu the band 66 isn't in there. I have Tmo and the tmo variant as well.

Its one of the reasons why I got this phone ... False advertising? haha
I'd assumed it was active and running on the V20. One of the first things I did when I got mine was run a speed test. I am seeing between 40-50+ down and 10-20+ up. That's higher than I was getting in the same spots with my previous phone. I'm in KC though which tends to be a market that they roll spectrum out to early on.
How many markets is 66 rolled out in? If hardly any then it might be awhile before we see a forward update to implement it.

Any updates on this by chance? Wondering if tmobile ever got around to enabling band 66

My D820 has never picked up anything above 2G

Hello everyone.
In november of 2016 my aunt bought this Nexus 5 (D820) from Amazon in USA and brought it here, it was brand new and factory unlocked. When I first got it I didn't flash anything on it for a few months, which means I used the factory 4.4 KitKat, and I noticed that it never picked up anything above 2G/EDGE (the small E icon). Right now I'm running Nougat and I've tested it with 3 different simcards throughout these two years and it simply never goes over 2G, I have never seen this phone with an H or H+ or LTE icon. It's either 2G or it simply drops signal.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Using the stock system
Flashing ALL the radios I found, through adb and through flashable zips
Tearing it apart to see the two antenna cables on both sides, they're there and well seated
Every single combination of Cellular Networks > 2g/3g/LTE, Roaming, no result.
I've tried different APNs, still no result
All 3 SIM cards worked with 3g right away on my previous phone, an S2
I honestly have no idea what to try next. Anybody could help?
Maybe, it's because your networks are using frequencies, which are not supported by the North America (D820) model.
See https://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-5-models-whats-different-between-two
D820 is for North America, D821 is for other countries.

The only thing that shouldn't work outside NA is 4G, my actual mobile carrier is Movistar, and it should work right away so..
