Has I missed but has anyone tried using the nexus 5 with a T-Mobile Sim outside USA? It doesn't work. I never knew it was the phone until I took a old unlocked from Att phone with me and as soon as my nexus lost signal I popped my Sim in the iphone and got full signal. Next I tried with a T-Mobile Galaxy s4 nexus lost signal S4 worked like a champ. Called google and the first person I talked to told me it was a known issue and her husband takes a back up phone when he travels. The next person told me to call Tmobile.

This is the nexus 5 thread and why are you posting this in a dev section anyway
^ because he wants a magical elixer, secret potion, or flashable .zip to cure his problems and increase his benchmarks.

Ok, I have had a Sprint supplied Nexus S 4G, they replaced my Epic 4g with this because I went through 3 Epics in 4 months. There are more than a few odd issues and i'll list them.
1. 4g will not connect even after restarting phone, the Epic always worked in the same spots and it has the latest prl.
2. the whole outside 1/4 inch of the screen seems to not register my fingers.
3. The battery is horrible compared to the Epic, I am running the exact same apps on both and during a movie tonight the battery dropped 30% while not being used and in airplane mode, I would only use 10% to 15% with the Epic.
Has anyone else had these issues or is mine broken? If i take it back to sprint should I demand that they give me an Epic back or another Nexus? If this is normal for the Nexus s 4g then I would like my Epic back. I mean my Epic's weren't rooted so they were probably running more apps than the Nexus in reality. Any help would be appreciated.
Definitely sounds faulty. Take it back IMO
Thanks, went by sprint store and they ordered me a new one, 5th phone in 5 months.

Sounds like they gave you a crap refurb. Make sure its brand new out of a nexus s box.

Agreed. Having used both I had similar problems on the epic but never on the Nexus

They swear they can't give me anything but refurbished phones. If this next one has problems I will call the Executive customer service line.
My wife's nexus s 4g she just got in the mail as a replacement from her stolen nexus s is not having any service at all. In our house she used to get good service now she doesn't have any at all? Is there something I can do to fix it or do I have to send it back??

If ur still in stock ROM, then try updating ur profile and prl under:
Settings/about phone
See what difference it makes.

I know the Nexus 5 has LTE support, but I just wanted to be sure before I purchase it, that it'll be usable on Verizon. Always wanted a Nexus device!

Won't work with Verizon they are of control freeks

Definitely a no go on Verizon. Pretty much everyone offers LTE now, and the Nexus 5 works with all of them... except Verizon.

I bet Little Red will get it next year... that's one of the reasons I switched carriers.
Seriously. Thanks guys! I was an inch away from buying it. Hopefully Verizon pulls the stick out of their asses and brings the Nexus 5 over. I get the feeling they just don't want a device of such a caliber to be sold through them at such a low price. Needless to say however, if the Nexus 5 comes over to Verizon, I'll have to retire my HTC DNA. Love it, but the Nexus 5 is such a sexy phone >.<

So, what's the basis for the incompatibility? Is the Nexus 5 just flat-out incapable of working on Verizon if I were to plug in a Verizon SIM?
Will Google have to make another version of the 5, or is this something that can be rolled out with a firmware update?
I've given up trying to understand Verizon's customer satisfaction strategy, but want to understand the nuts and bolts of why it won't work on their network.

Yeah, I bought a 32GB version today too only to find out that it will not be compatible on VZW. Luckily, my contract is up pretty soon, I think. I plan on going to my VZW store and finding out the exact date. But yeah, I'm hopping off of VZW as soon as possible. I'm so sick of their nonsense. AT&T Straight Talk, here I come!
I had to get a 4G LTE SIM card from Best Buy. The Nexus 5 on Sprint will only activate with a SIM card. The Best Buy associate discounted the SIM card to make it free. Call your local Best Buy Mobile store and see if they have an LTE sim card in stock, and if they do I would go tonight and pick one up. My Sprint Nexus 5 is fully functional on 4G right now.

According to sprint, best buy, and google, the nexus 5 can only be activated with a 4 g l t e g_s_m sim card. It will not activate over cdma . It has to have the 4g simcard.

The issue is really with 32GB versions. What size is yours?
I popped the SIM from my HTC One into it and went through the activation process. The only hiccup was I needed to drop the last number from the IMEI to get the system to recognize it.
I have the 32 gb

How much did they charge you? The best buy over here wanted 30 for one.

I can verify, successfully activated my 32 GB black tonight (online) with Sprint SIM card ordered yesterday through chat service(international). So far, so good. (cross fingers, knock on wood). Only thing I haven't checked on is 4G service, since I've been busy installing apps, etc. over WiFi tonight.
Anybody on Sprint's SERO account and activated online themselves successfully? Or how did you guys go about switching to the N5?
Online? Chat? Over the phone?
Can this phone be used on Straight Talk via Sim card?
If so will it be carrier unlocked like my GP Nexus 5 or will I need to have it unlocked?
