[Q] Are all Canadian Nexus 5s unlocked? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there are some other questions similar to mines. But none of them are for Canada. I have a Nexus 5 D820 bought from WIND Mobile. Will this phone work with all other Canadian carriers?

The answer is always the same. There are 2 versions of the nexus 5, neither have sim lock applied. There are no carrier versions of the n5

Nexus 5 on AU network

Is anybody using their nexus 5 on the AU network in Japan? I was using the nexus 4 on softbanks gsm network then sold it and got a note 3 on AU's cdma network and hate the phone. Well more Samsung for making like 80 different variants. So my exact model isn't rooted or rom'd yet. So I'm going to sell and get a nexus 5. I just want to make sure I can use LTE. Nexus says it can use band 1 and au looks like it had band 1. Anybody have any insight on if it will work?

Sprint Nexus 5

hello im just planning to buy a Sprint Nexus 5, but i want to check if root process, roms, kernels are the same between all carrier variants because im only seeing hammerhead. sorry about the question
There is only 2 nexus 5 variant.
D820 is sold in america
D821 is sold in rest of the world
There is no difference between D820 and D821. A chip on D820 is programmed to work with usa lte networks, while on D821 this chip is programmed to work with lte network outside of the usa. Besides that all nexus is the same, and all sim unlocked.

If you're really planning to buy; not rent a phone, just get it from the Play Store. The 16gb version is cheaper and you can get the 32 gb version if you want, which Sprint doesn't carry. You can get the SIM card from Sprint and activate it, no charge. That unleashes you from any long term commitment to Sprint.

Any news on the At&t version?

Just wondering if the g flex 2 with at&t is available anytime soon. Or is there an unlocked version that works with at&t LTE network?

I just received a Korean version model LG-F510S I purchased on eBay and it receives full 4G LTE using my AT&T SIM card.
Does it have all the att LTE bands or just one?
Getting a little bit impatient here with att, even the s6 is out. Wondering how the LTE coverage with the Korean unlocked model is with att, since its missing some bands. Any experience?
I am getting Band 17 on AT&T in my area with my unlocked Korean version.
I looked up the f510s and it says lte band 1, 3, 5, 7, 8.
Would u mind sharing the link for the one that u purchased?

any more help plssssss this phone is cdma or gsm lol
Lolz
anyone help plssssss
India is not north America? Isn't that enough
The short answer is it will work on either gsm or CDMA but only sprint CDMA in us. Long answer is you bought the US version for use outside of the US. Not sure it will work in India.

International vs. US model

I am on AT&T in the US. I'd like to get the 6GB version. I haven't seen that it is being offered in the US. Anyone know if it will?
Assuming it will, ifs there any specific reason to purchase the US model over the international version? I would like to have a phone that will work on both Verizon and AT&T, as I may change carriers.
Any advice?
The Mate 9 will not work on Verizon nor Sprint. Its a GSM phone which means AT&T and Tmobile
If you're changing, then consider T-Mobile!
Not sure you guys realize Verizon uses SIM cards now too on some phones. Pixel XL is a sim card phone that was sold exclusively for a min through verizon, my friends have Nexus 6P on Verizon network. Sprint also uses a nano SIM on all their iPhones. Now the bands they support maybe different from a US version to a International.

I'm waiting for the official US release in the scant hope of VZW radio support. (Not likely though)

Oh, interesting. That is a caveat that throws the consideration less toward this phone.
Thanks for the replies.

Yes, if you get a variant of the Mate 9 that supports Verizon's LTE bands it will likely work for LTE. However it will not support 3G, 1X, or voice (which are CDMA). The Pixel and Nexus 6P include CDMA support, which the Mate 9 does not.

The Kirin 960 natively supports CDMA. But whether or not it gets certified for use in the US in the Mate 9 is yet to be seen.
This is killing me. I'm on Sprint, I want this phone. I keep hearing multiple different things. I want to order an international one to have ordered one by the end of the year. I see multiple models (MHA-AL00 and MHA-L29) hoping something will work with CDMA (Sprint)
They likely won't bother supporting all the right frequencies unless VZ or Sprint brands the phone, which seems even less likely... VZ has been using sims since LTE rolled out but that isn't really the problem.
If you're on a AT&T or T-Mobile then who cares about the US model... The only benefit is that eventually there will be cheaper used phones in the US after 6+ months.
I have a MHA-AL00 (6gb, 128gb) from China and wish I had an AL29 as the Chinese support on unlocking the boot loader is terrible (e.g., I cannot get a code). AL29 is supported by one of the apps and also I believe local Huawei offices. Installing google play thankfully is not a problem but I'd be careful nonetheless on the AL00.
Verizon and Sprint

Verizon and Sprint only use SIM cards for international use, they had to use/include GSM in order for their phones to roam outside the US.
