Hi all,
I picked up a nexus 5 recently which is a Norh American model no isn't compatible with the 3 network in the uk. My own fault but I'm pretty new to android and crap on the techy side! Is there any workaround so that I can access my 4g network? Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks all ;0)

hey guys im getting ready to buy a nexus s from best buy. Im on att so im getting the unlocked one. I noticed in the forums that there are 2 Nexus S (4G) Android Developments forum. Was wondering if that the nexus s 4g is strictly for sprint phones and that i should not flash anything from there since i will have the unlocked nexus s. thanks for the info guys.

If you get the NS for ATT. Use the Nexus S dev section. They're slightly different, but many of the ROMs are cross-compatible. Just don't look at the NS4G dev forums (dont flash anything from there either)
thanks for the info!

GSM nexus phones aren't sim locked so they work anywhere that they are network compatible. As long as the one you are looking at is a i9020t you are fully good to go with uk 3g speeds but if it a i9020a you will be stuck on 2g speeds.
If its a nexus s 4g dont bother that's sprint cdma/wimax ONLY.
Hello everyone, I need help deciding what cellphone from sprint to get upgraded to, since they told me that now is the time that I can qualify for an upgrade, Right now I have an evo 3d, and I love this phone, but I have noticed that everybody's jumping to the lte's phones, I was thinking on upgrading to the evo LTE, but after reading on many android forums it seems that not many people like it, so the same goes for samsung s3, unfortunately those are the only ones that I qualify for, I don't believe sprint has the note 2, but of all those 3, which one you guys would recommend, thanks in advance

I know about the cdma and gsm differences but I heard of people unlocking Sprint phones that have sim cards like HTC One, Iphone 4s or 5, Samsung Galaxy S 4 over to T-Mobile. Is this possible? please help i have been looking for links all over but cannot find any. thanks guys.

So excuse my ignorance in advance. I am one of those few people on the planet that actually has decent coverage where I live with Sprint, so thats why I dont buy a GSM addition of this device. My question is are there any roms for the Sprint addition of this device? I have been through a ton of threads and do not see anything specifically mentioning Sprint. I had the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus and the development was there for those devices, of course not to the extent that the gsm carriers received but it was there. I am getting that Nexus twitch but I dont want to buy the Sprint version if there isnt any development for it. Thanks all, in advance.
No questions in general forums.
The Nexus 5 is just the Nexus 5 no matter what provider it's running off.

There is no Sprint edition of the Nexus 5. The same singular Nexus 5 has radios compatible with Sprint (CDMA/EVDO), AT&T and T-Mobile (GSM/UMTS/HSPA+), and LTE for all three. Simple as that.
There is only a North America version (D820) and a European/Rest-of-the-world version (D821). Difference is only the LTE bands.
Google did it right with the Nexus 5, no variants of the Nexus. They're all the same:thumbup:
