What's up guys, should I get 4G from Best Buy with $200.00 gift card (good for the down payment,) or get 4G LTE from AT&T at full price? Also I live in a major metropolitan area with LTE coverage almost everywhere.
Nevermind...before someone would answer - Best Buy took off the $200.00 gift card. Thanks - Appreciated

For purposely roaming i bet
VERIZON GALAXY S 3
No I moved to north Carolina and they have no service here. I have no choice but to roam. So they are canceling my contract for excessive roaming.

Do you have to pay an ETF if they cancel your contract?

Where are you seeing all these lte issues? Beside even if it is dropping its better than Sprints NO LTE.
I have seen people complaining that it keeps kicking them down to 3g. But you are right the speed difference is huge. And no I don't have to pay an etf. I just have to send then all of my phones. Witch sux I just got the sgs3 two weeks ago

I am just trying to get a feel for issues if any at all. You know how some people whine and you can't get a good idea on a phone I assume it will be about the same with way better coverage and ddata speeds.

A lot of the lte drop you may be hearing of comes from the cynogen mods and aokp roms. But Verizon has the most solid lte coverage out there.
Plus like it was stated. I'd rather lte drop but have lte as apposed to no lte and real slow 3g speeds from Sprint

Go to the Verizon coverage map and check your area and see what kind of reception you get that's the best way to find out of Verizon is worth it.

You should just keep it and pay an ETF. You could easily sell for $500 on eBay to cover a $200 ETF.

I am using AOKP Milestone 6, and after tinkering with a couple things, I have a solid 4G connection. No unexplained drops to 3G in a 4G area for me.
And I agree with what's stated above. There is no way you'll want 3G once you get used to 4G.
stock Rom at the moment works best on this phone I would just stay with that till development matures a bit.

Verizon is a total rip off now. Data is way too expensive.
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!
It may be exspensive but for the same plan I have on sprint I can switch. And save 30 bucks a month that's with 4 gigs. Ill never use that Much. With sprint there data is so slow it'ss painfully. That's why its unlimeted. Cause there is nothing to limit lol.

I agree. I use 1 gig in about a week, easily. I definitely wouldn't come to Verizon with their new data plans. You're just asking for a huge bill.
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!
Thinking about switching after my contract is over at the end of the year...
I love T-Mobile in my area, I get about 14mbps data speeds. I've been with them a year and have never dropped a call.

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

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

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.

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.
