Phone on different network

I have the nexus,obviously, and would like to know if I can use the Verizon version on a different network

Nope. CDMA phones are locked and there's no good way to unlock them.

Nope. If you buy the Verizon one you're stuck. Theres a small glimmer of hope that you could reflash it to another regional CDMA carrier, but even that's a long-shot.

short answer, no
long answer, yes
Anything can be done with enough will power. But practically speaking, no you cant.
I know a guy who got his CDMA EVO 3D working on ATT's GSM network. And I flashed my Sprint only EVO 3D to connect to Verizon. So yes these things are possible, but I wouldnt bother if I were you. If you want to use your VZW Nexus on a GSM network, then why didnt you just get a contract and GSM phone on whichever Network you wanted? If you want to flash to Sprint, Why? Verizon is much better, I just came from Sprint so believe me when I say Sprint has some ****ty service right now. Too many upgrades going on.

[Q] Evo on Verizon?

I know this has been asked before, but I haven't really found an answer. Some say no, some say yes. I've flashed this phone to Cricket from Sprint before, and now I want to flash it from Cricket to Verizon. Is this as simple as a PRL hack? Note that I spoke to a Verizon representative and they said they will allow me to use this phone on their network. What settings would I have to change (mms servers, etc.) to allow this to function properly? Thanks.

Build.prop and APNS settings should be all that is needed.

Cool so a sprint evo 4g will work on Verizon? How about international with the right sim ? Dual band? Sorry just want to be clear dumping my droids charge and want one of these.

HTC Evo 4g on Tracphone network - flashing etc

Hi everyone! This is my first post, hopefully I don't get canned too fast. Here's my situation - I have an Evo 4G that I had with Sprint. I no longer have the service, but still use the phone's wifi for internet and of course I also use the music application. I recently signed up for some weird government free phone thing with tracphone. I have a POS tracphone with 250 free mins every month. Instead of carrying 2 phones with me everywhere, I want to flash/enable the Evo 4G to be on the tracphone network. I basically want to use the serial number and phone number from the tracphone on my Evo 4G. And it seems like it's possible. As I'm brand new to this, my first thing was to download the "evo flashing tools.rar" file. I haven't opened it yet and have NO idea what I'm getting myself into.
Please note, I am NOT trying to get the Evo 4G's 3G/4G network speed going...I will be content with being on a crap network, the crap network that Tracphone uses. I will only be using web features etc while connected to a wireless network. I just want to be able to make calls and send texts from this Evo 4G while being on the tracphone network.
Any and all help is appreciated! As I'm a noob I'm sure there's many links and tutorials I need to know about, so if anyone is kind enough to help me out on this I would be so thankful! I'm sick of carrying around 2 phones!

okay I downloaded the main rar, and I'm reading through the "evo 4g tut" PDF. It seems like they assume thedonor phone can be plugged into the computer...but of course my donor phone is a $10 piece of crap that does not connect to the computer in any way whatsoever.
The tutorial is saying I need to get the ESN and MEID, HA, AAA, 1192 and 1194. How could I possibly get that information out of this phone? It's literally a $10 tracphone that doesn't have the capability to connect to a computer. What do I do now? Is this even possible?

Did you look under the battery?

For just talk and text to work, you need meid, mdn, and msid from donor. You will probably have to change PRL too. Does the tracphone take a sim card? If so, it is not possible to do what you are wanting to do. If you need a little more help or info, shoot me a pm

thanks!
Ok wait I just popped open the Tracphone and yes it does have a SIM card. Couldn't I just pop the sim from this and put it in the Evo 4G? All I want is talk and text.
But seriously? If it has a SIM card there's no way to use the Tracphone service on my Evo?
I found the IMEI.
Shouldn't I be in business?
How could I get the info I need from the Tracphone without it having the capability to connect to a computer?
There's an almost identical thread/method here but involving using the Evo 4G with Virgin Mobile. This has to be possible. Right?

It's not possible to get your CDMA Evo 4g on a GSM network. You're out of luck.

Does your evo have a sim card slot?

Can I use Verizon Galaxy Nexus on Straight Talk?

THe phone is unlocked but verizon is way too damn expensive. I'd like to switch to straight talk and just use the phones I already have rather than buying new ones, is this possible? I tried googling around but nothing gave me a straight answer. If it's possible what do i have to do?

NO!!

You need a sim card for straight talk. The Verizon phone does not physically take a sim card. So, no, unfortunately, you can't.

Are you trying to say that straight talk doesnt offer the small sim cards that fit the phone?

Verizon phones have sim cards but it is only for lte. There is no GSM radio in your Verizon phone.

Sorry for being unclear; let me clarify. I'm pretty sure you have an LTE sim card, which is not the same as, say, a GSM AT&T sim card (which would be compatible).
If Verizon switched to the compatible sim cards, my apologies for posting the wrong information.

I tried with a verizon galaxy nexus on straight talk i bought the sim card activated then cut the sim card to a mini booted phone and no go different frequencies in canada anyways

Well actually if you have a Verizon Incredible 2 phone it does have a sim card that if tthe phone is unlocked does acept any sim card. The INC2 is a world phone, I have one near Chicago for my son and it works on Verizon, ATT, or Tmo

Help yourself then

Search on eBay. There are people that will flash your phone to Straight Talk. And yes, Straight Talk is both a GSM and a CDMA MVNO. If it's a CDMA phone then it gonna be using Verizon's network, but if it's a GSM phone, it's gonna be using At&t's network.

Straight talk doesn't use ATT anymore. You can still find the Sims that will work but they cut the plan down. GSM is primarily focused on TMo now.
I set my gf up with her iPhone 4S and she likes it.
I didn't know about supporting CDMA and their website doesn't say anything about it. I'm not even sure the process. I'm assuming a CDMA sim?
I don't think this will work, at least not by traditional means.

I wasn't aware of that change, thanks for the info. If you go on the Straight Talk site, and look up the phones they have for sale, the CDMA ones will have the Verizon coverage map underneath. The problem is getting your phone's esn/meid onto the Straight Talk system. Like I said, go on eBay and there are people who will do that and fully flash the phone for you.

You can flash it to Sprint, or Cricket, straight talk is gsm. You might be able to connect to another carriers LTE if they have bad 17

[Q] Anyone using the Verizon version with GSM or AWS sim cards yet?

Hey guys. I know this phone is new to verizon still but has anyone had any luck trying this out on Tmobile yet? I can't seem to find any information on there being a difference in innards between the Verizon and ATT or Tmobile variant.

I've been using it on metropcs but I can't figure out how to get mms or data faster the edge.

You'll have to find a way to manually enter MetroPCS APN settings. A SIM card by itself usually only provides the most basic connection settings for a phone to use.

Hello, I have a Verizon phone, which I unlocked and I am using with MetroPCS sim card. Everything works except I don't have 4G. I have internet but not 4G. Some ideas how I can fix that and actually use the 4G? Thanks!

There is no fix. The m7vzw does not get the receive the proper frequency for it. Verizon blocks some radio frequency bands. ****in verizon.

Can't blame Verizon for not allowing other frequencies they don't use on their phones. They have the phones made for their service. So why can't they have it their way?

Actually, I can blame them. It isn't like they give you the phone free. We pay for them. It would be nice if they stopped modifying them to prevent them from using all the functions built into the standard model. Not just radio bands, but the FM radio also. And the fact you can't use htcdev is also BS.

If you look at the flip side, if you were the carrier wouldn't you have a hard time diagnosing phones...lets say you have 100 different roms. It would be a nightmare to do tech support for a ROM that was not built by them, hence the lock down (look @ Apple). Although you pay for the phone, there should be some type of baseline quality control over the network that Verizon needs to have over their phones. Its like saying you're paying for a Ferrari but you hate the MPG so you want to do an engine swap to a civic engine to achieve 40-50 mpg. Yes, is it possible to do it...maybe...but you wouldn't get the same performance you would expect from a Ferrari.
Yes, I totally hate the fact that you can't use HTCDev, thankfully I was lucky enough to have been one of the few people who was able to use HTC Dev before they blocked the numbers for Verizon. I think they should allow HTC Dev but allow the typical one year warranty on the hardware only...but that's only wishful thinking...=(
