I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus Canandian verision i9250..Can i use this one in the USA. whats the difference that and the regular one..they are both gsm..Negri electronics told me it doesnt have the most recent ics...4.0.2 or what ever..
if it is carrier unlocked you will be able to since the phone supports Pentaband. It depends where you get it from. I know my cousin got one from a Virgin store and it works on different carriers. So it may or may not work. Try to find out if it is unlocked or not.
I have a Galaxy Nexus from Telus (bought the day they released them). ICS 4.0.1 is the current version. It roams in the States on AT&T / Verizon (companies that Telus has roaming partnerships with), but I assume as long as its the same technology, you can go on any related carrier.
I can't tell you whether or not its unlocked and if someone tells me how to do that, I can update this post. However, I find it unlikely.

All Nexus phones are unlocked, it just matters about the radio. That Telus bought phone could be used on Bell, SaskTel, and Telus (prob others but im lazy and only recall these ones) in Canada but would need a new radio to go on Rogers/Fido.
Google does not lock their phones to a carrier. Its just dependent on the radio

I'm not sure that is correct, I have a "TELUS" bought Nexus that is working just fine on the original/stock radio on Rogers.

Thanks for clearing that issue of locked and unlocked. I can now tell a few friends that they can switch carriers if they choose to. Just have to pick the right radio.

In Canada, and at least on the big three, they only need to change the radios if they are changing the build from yakjuux (or whatever) to yakju.
Stock ROM/ stock radio will work just fine between telus/rogers/bell

Not sure where you are getting your information, but everything in this post is completely wrong.
Nexus phones are NOT ALL unlocked. Yes, the ones sold in Canada are, but some sold in Europe are LOCKED to specific carriers.
The hardware on all GSM Galaxy Nexus devices is all the same. You can use any GN on Telus, Bell, Virgin, Fido, Rogers,AT&T, T-Mobile, SaskTel, etc. There is no requirement to have a new radio at all.

The "US version" is a CDMA/LTE device, i.e. the Verizon version. All other devices worldwide are the same hardware-wise. Software-wise, there are minor localization differences in the builds, but you can flash the generic version (which gets updated first) on any one of them.

I live in the Detroit metro area and recently bought a Galaxy Nexus from Windsor Ontario dealer that was unlocked and it worked perfectly. The phone came with ICS 4.0.2 which is the latest version for this phone.
Of course I have rooted it and running the Manhattan ROM and couldn't be happier.
I got mine from Bell, sim-unlocked and i tested it with a friend sim card that came from videotron

I was browsing Negri today, when I noticed they had the Galaxy Nexus for $459.50, the NTT Docomo version. Not sure if it's connected, but it looks like the same price as the Daily Steals sale from yesterday. The specs says it's the same as the other versions, except it has a small logo on the back. I suppose this is good news for anybody who missed the sale yesterday. I'm not sure how long Negri will have this, but hopefully permanent.
It says unlocked but will it work the same as the i9250 unbranded version for T-Mobile USA?

It should work just fine. The radio specs are the same, and if they're unlocking it before they send it to you then there's no issue. The problem before was breaking the SIM lock on the DoCoMo version.

I wanted to buy the white version yesterday, but by the time I got to work and had time to look again... it was sold out.
So this morning when I could get the BLACK version, I jumped on it. I loaded CWM's ICS on my Atrix, but don't feel it's quite right, and so I'm gonna put 2.3.4 back on the Atrix and continue to use it with the laptop dock.
I'm thinking on buying this Galaxy Nexus Docomo version, but I have some doubts.
I've read everywere that this phone is exactly the same as the i9250 version, same 2g and 3g networks (pentaband), GSM extended battery fits, and so on. Chatting with a negri electronics rep, he also confirmed me it is the same phone and it even cames with the yakju build, meaning it is updated by google and not Docomo.
What still bugs me a bit is why would they name it different? (SC-04D)..
Will I be able to flash any ROM, baseband, kernel as if I was using the international i9250 version?
Yeah, i'm a bit paranoid, but any information/clarification would be grately appreciated.
Thanks

It could be that the SC-04D designation was chosen to be separate in order to register it separately in Japan with their equivalent of the CRTC/FCC.
I can tell you that SC-04D radio files work fine on the i9250. So I would think the reverse is true as well.
I have read and saw a Youtube vid, The DOCOMO Gnex has a Docomo ROM installed, Negri says the only difference is the logo on the back. Can anyone confirm. The price of $459 seems to good to be true.
Both the SC-04D and the gsm i9250 share the same hardware, I think, except the SC-04D does not have the 900mhz band. The price is quite good but you have to be sure your carrier does not use the 900mhz band before you decide to purchase the SC-04D, otherwise you may receive a weak to no signal when you need to make a phone call.
Have you verified this?
Or is it possible the Japanese radio software is what locks out that band?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
My carrier is using the bands of 900/1800/2100. I got my SC-04D yesterday. Just ran a little test with my DOCOMO SC-04D and the GALAXY S2, both of them locked at 900mhz from service mode. It seems that the SC-04D is giving me weaker signal, say 0-40% whereas the S2 is giving me full signal. I believe it is due to the missing 900mhz band from the SC-04D. I will run a few tests tomorrow at different places and see how well it will go.

Well, when I flashed to other custom roms and radio/basebands, I got the options the choose which bands to use under service mode (*#*#4636#*#*). I could choose the GSM 900 band, but I am not sure if it really worked as I am only receiving a very weak signal compare with my S2 in full bar signal. I am able to use both phone to surf the net and make phone calls. But the unlocked DOCOMO SC-04D is not very stable. I guess I will give it a few days to observe.
Are you saying the SC-04 firmware has a mode to select individual frequency bands? The i9250 doesn't.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Negri told me that it was pentaband, so it should have the 900mhz band. I don't think they would confirm me such a thing without knowing for sure.
@Zatire. There a lot of threads saying that galaxy nexus has crappy radios, so maybe that's the cause you are having bad signal. If it didn't have the 900mhz band, it's shouldn't even get 1 bar, don't you think? (saying you locked your phone to only use that band...)
It doesn't matter if it comes with Docomo's ROM, because you can flash original Google ROM from AOSP.
i ordered both the dailysteals gnex ($465 for european unlocked version) AND the negri gnex ($460 docomo version)... i should have both in my hands next week. any tests you guys me to run to compare the two? i am on tmobile tzones
if the docomo verison has issues i will sell that and keep the dailysteals version... if both are identical then i will sell whichever i think looks better in person (white vs silver)
Hello All,
I went through this from the google playstore support site:
"Galaxy Nexus devices purchased on Google Play are unlocked GSM/HSPA+ devices.
1.The unlocked Galaxy Nexus requires GSM compatible service provider for voice calling. In the United States this includes AT&T and T-Mobile. Phones purchased from devices on Google Play are not compatible with Verizon or Sprint.
2.High speed data access requires a compatible 3G/4G HSPA+ cellular data service provider such as AT&T and T-Mobile."
Will this Nexus work in India with GSM and HSPA Networks (Noob question )?
Yes it most certainly will work.
Why not ?? It is world GSM umts phone and certainly works . I am currently using it.

If you've got a GSM carrier then yes, its unlocked and supports all the frequencies you need. Its the exact same as the i9250 that's been for sale for over 5 months now. There is nothing special about the hardware.
But the Play Store isn't shipping outside of the US. Check out importers that will sell to India.

try them all starting with the latest ones and find the one that suites best for you.
just because one radio is good for someone doesn't mean it will have the same results for you.

OTA update is the question. Even I'm thinking to buy galaxy nexus. In Indian, Sammy won't be releasing.
We got 3g carriers(Vodafone,airtel).
Even with the PC companion we should receive updates right?
GNex will keep on receiving updated no matter which country you are in. Only thing is that,there are multiple builds of the GNex. The one with 'yakju' and 'takju' will receive the updates directly via Google. Rest of the builds will get their updates via Samsung and hence it might takes a bit of time.
And yes,you can use 3G services in India. I'm using the same on my Gnex.
So i purchased the GNEX I9250 (international version) im just wondering whats the difference in hardware from the US HSPA version
I believe they are identical.
They're both HSPA. That means the network they run on.

The international one is hspa+ too.

Don't worry it'll work fine. I was using mine on T-Mobile while I was in America for the last month and had no problems. While I had T-Mobile signal anyway but that's another story and not a problem with my phone more of a problem with American carriers.
I also have small question. I just got my Galaxy Nexus direct from google. When loking at the ROM threads and whatnot, should i be using the GSM roms? Are they for the international version only, or are they safe to use on my straight google nexus.
Just didn't know if their was anything different about this than the GSM one that has been around for a while.

Hi,
I've been looking through the stickies and searching and I can't seem to find the information I need.
I bought my gf her GN from Bell and she's using it on Wind. I'm wondering, what model does she have? She has 4.0.1, build ITL41F, but is it yakju or yakjuux?
So I'm thinking I might as well root her phone in order to install the updates. What is the simplest way to obtain root?
she's prolly yakjuux or something like that. doesnt really matter since the phone is GSM, a yakju image will work just fine.

Zepius provided a link for rooting, I also found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392380 helpful to consider your kernel, ROM and radio. I'm on the Bell Mobility network, and find my setup to work great: Apex version 1.1.2 with Franco Kernel Milestone 4 and using Baseband UGLC1. I recommend reading a lot through the Galaxy Nexus Development threads before doing anything.
I am curious though ... You were able to use the Bell-purchased GSM GN on the Wind network? Wind uses AWS spectrum for its network vs Bell's HSPA+ ... and I know that the Nexus S was not interchangeable between networks. If the GN is interchangeable, then that will be great news for me when my Bell contract is up at the end of the year. I'd love to switch.
Doesn't matter what it's currently on, as long as it's GSM (it is) then you can flash it to yakju and you'll get the updates OTA right when they come out.
You don't need to root to flash, you just have to unlock the bootloader and flash the stock images. It will 100% wipe your device. You will not be rooted when you're done. If I had to offer a piece of advice, it's to leave your girlfriend's phone on stock yakju. You'll thank me later.

Yes it works fine. I bought it for her at Christmas. No store, despite having no contract prices, would sell it to me without a contract. Since I'm a customer of Bell, I went to them and told them I was upgrading.
Wind is cheap and ok. I've heard with AWS, the signal tends to wrap around buildings rather than penetrate them. We were in the ACC and I put on wifi hotspot because she had 0 reception. Download speeds vary from disgustingly slow to decent. And she lives in TO.

Root is not required to flash the stock images, so why do more than you need to?
If all you want to give her is the latest OS and timely OTA updates from now on, just unlock the bootloader and flash the stock yakju Google firmware.
I would not root someone else's phone. If she doesn't see the benefit of root for herself and strive to do it on her own, don't root her phone. Root and mess with your own phone. Leave hers be. Believe me, you don't wanna deal with that.

The carrier isn't significant unless you're using a Sprint or Verizon branded Galaxy Nexus. All other Galaxy Nexus devices (the GSM models) are basically identical. The only black sheep is the Docomo model, which seems to have issues due to the SIM lock in place.

To be clear, there is no such thing as an AT&T Galaxy Nexus. From the Play Store, there is only one Galaxy Nexus (takju), which is unassociated with any one carrier and is compatible with AT&T's network (as well as every other GSM network).
Any thread or ROM that refers to just "Galaxy Nexus" with no mention of Verizon, Sprint, toro, toroplus, LTE, or CDMA will likely apply to your phone. The only exception would be if you're flashing radios since those are differentiated by region, but if that's something you're interested in, I'd suggest researching thoroughly before attempting
Thanks a lot for the input guys. I live in CA so I doubt I'd have to mess with the radio lol. Nexus should be here next week!

The baseband that the Play Store GNex ships with (at least mine did anyway) was XXLA2 which is actually a European baseband. It should work fine, but you may have better luck in terms of signal strength/quality/speeds if you use another radio. I know flashing UGLA4 (a North American baseband) on my GNex has proven best for me
If at some point down the line you do want to look into this stuff, I'd suggest this XDA thread on the topic.
