No, you cannot use the LTE Nexus on AT&T.
Rabble rabble rabble.

Unless the att version has GSM and ATT LTE.
Verizon and AT&T don't have the same LTE network.
LTE Google Galaxy Nexus! - Stock
Asus Transformer - OC/UV

No it won't work. You're going to be using it on AT&T's HSPA+.

Its labeled wrong. It is a I9250. I9250 is the pentaband version (yakju,yakjuxw,etc)
mysid.... SCH-I515 is the code name for Verizon Galaxy Nexus LTE.
HSPA+ on AT&T is considered "4G" on their network.

This is correct.

Just get the unlocked GSM version. It completely flies on AT&T's network.

You need the GSM version, not the LTE on AT&T.
On LTE phones, all voice calls are routed through 3G, which is CDMA, so there's your most obvious reason why the LTE GN won't work on AT&T.

telling the differents between GSM & LTE

who do i know if my Galaxy nexus is gsm or lte?
What network are you on? The only network offering the LTE Galaxy Nexus is Verizon.
Differences include the fact the GSM Galaxy Nexus has 16gb of storage whereas the Verizon LTE version has 32gb.
The LTE version is also slightly thicker.

As in Windows Phone 7? Uh, NO!!
Yep you can!! But it'll only run Internet Explorer 6, the only game is Minesweeper and you can only get dial-up mobile service through CompuServe or AOL on a 5 year contract (Search keyword '30FreeHours')...

He/she means MetroPCS, which is CDMA/LTE.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: MetroPCS is on a different frequency for LTE than Verizon so at best, you will get CDMA and voice, but I wouldn't count on even that.

Hmmmm... The GNEX is a PENTABAND phone though so wouldnt that mean it should work on the MetroPCS network? What are the Metro bands?

The GSM version is pentaband. This is not GSM.
The CDMA Nexus supports these bands:
2G Network CDMA 800 / 1900
3G Network CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
4G Network LTE 700 MHz
MetoPCS is the same as above, except:
4G Network LTE 1700 MHz

Well... Seeing as I am on a GSM Network I have never needed to research the CDMA/LTE version of the device and all documentation I have ever seen just simply listed it as a "pentaband" device so sorry if I got it wrong... lol...

Well there are 2 devices to follow lol. One GSM and one CDMA. The CDMA model obviously will not have a pentaband LTE radio in it, as its made to specifically work on Verizon.

So Verizon is the ONLY CDMA/LTE version of the GNEX? I did not realize that either if that is the case.
I just keep on learning... Lol...

Yes. The CDMA/LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus was made specifically for Verizon USA. It is not sold or able to be used anywhere else in the world (except under Verizon roaming plans in specific markets).
That's wrong. MetroPCS is listed as a provider for the phone, so I assume they will include a radio that supports them (after the crappy VZ only 90 day embargo)..
Soooo... then you can flash the GSM version??? Is anyone working on a ROM for this?

How would you flash the GSM version, when we JUST STATED that Metro runs on CDMA networks? Learn to READ. :thumbdown:

No...you are wrong.
No radio flash changes the frequencies of internal radios.
So once again, can the Verizon model be flashed to MetroPCS and have everything working?
--No, it cannot.
I realize this is an incredibly old thread, but we don't need confusion filling the forums for those who search.
CDMA Galaxy Nexus cant be flashed unless you can find a way to connect as a DIAG PORT.... I tried already flashing a Verizon Galaxy Nexus Over To PagePlus Cellular and i couldnt find a way to connec to CDMA Workshop....
So like other people posted before it cannt be flashed to MetroPCS

[Q] On Verizon Samsung Nexus

Can I use a Verizon Samsung Nexus in Europe or in the Middle East?
No you cannot.

No. It is a CDMA phone. Most other networks in the world are GSM. The i515 (Verizon) model doesn't have world-roaming capabilities. Your only chance would be if you're in one of the few countries with a national CDMA carrier that Verizon has roaming agreements with, and then you'd pay some absurd roaming charges to use the phone.
Just pick up a GSM phone for when you travel.
Also... GSM FTW.

No but you can get a different phone that is GSM for when you travel. I got a samsung captivate on Craigslist just for that

Frequency Concern

Hi everyone,
I am planning to buy an international version of galaxy nexus (i don't know if there is another version or not) to use in America, probably Tmobile. I know that the galaxy nexus uses 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 MHz as its working frequency. Coincidentally, the 3G and 4G networks of Tmobile also operate on the same range (1700/2100). Does that mean I can use 3G or even 4G network on Tmobile? or I still have to buy a phone from tmobile in order to use the high speed network?
Anyone is using galaxy nexus on Tmobile now?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks everyone!

The GSM version does not have an LTE radio, so 4G isn't possible.
I use the GSM from the Google store on tmo. I am in the Philly area and I get HSPA+ or 4G if you go by tmo.

HSPA+ is what tmobile calls 4g. They don't use LTE. So, the Google/International version will get 4g from tmobile.

I see. Guess I'm on 4G as well then.
You will get full HSPA+ on any GSM network in the USA. Not LTE.

[q] pentaband

so i was just wondering but is the tmobile variant a pentaband phone? reason i ask is because since lte will be on their old spectrum (1700) and they are gonna start using 1900 does that mean its technically a pentaband phone? i have a gnex and i travel overseas so having a pentaband phone would be nice to have and would give me a reason to sell my gnex for the note. thanks
The tmo note is quadband 3g supporting 850/1900/AWS/2100 bands
