There are no other networks that use the radios for the CDMA Verizon Galaxy Nexus (at least to my knowledge) not even Sprint because Sprint doesn't use SIM on their GN apparently?

Radios aren't even compatible. That's like saying, you're going to use a Intel Ivy Bridge processor on a motherboard with a AM3+ socket.
The VZW Nexus doesn't at all have the radio hardware to work on a GSM network. You're stuck on Verizon.

You may want to do a bit more research before you declare something impossible. The Rezound uses a Snapdragon MSM8660 SoC. CDMA and GSM radios are integral to that little piece of silicon. The Rezound is indeed capable of operating on AT&T, T-Mobile, or any other GSM carrier worldwide.

Good for you but the morale of the story is that galaxy Nexus doesn't work for Gsm models. It is rare for any phone go be cdma and Gsm cross compatible. If it is then good for them.
Would anyone do it? Not really, there are better choices out there than getting a Rezound and putting it on another carrier such as the galaxy Nexus for $400

Hey guys i bought the Samsung Galaxy S II from T-Mobile thinking that has HSPA+ bands I, IV and V.. like the box and website says.
Here we use HSPA+ band V (850) so, i inserted my sim card but i only pick 3G bands ( HSDPA )
Checking the bands that the phone has using *#2263# i noticed that i have WCDMA, GSM but also i have LTE bands ...
I never heard that T-Mobile Galaxy S II has LTE bands..
Any ideas why it says LTE instead of HSPA+?
YES, I WAS RIGHT! Samsung was to lazy to change the modem between the skyrocket and the T-Mo SGSII, so if you flashed one of our modems, you'd technically have a functional LTE radio.
Wow, this is crazy!

You'd have to flash a Skyrocket radio, because when I was using a T-Mobile radio, it wouldn't connect to LTE.
But that means, if I'm right, the Skyrocket and T-Mo SGS II have support for 850, 900, 1700, 1900, and 2100 HSPA+.... that's a pentaband phone.
****. YES.

Yeah, but I don't think AT&T would allow another carrier to roam on a very new LTE network, especially when they don't even have 10% of their own customers on the network.
And it's really cool, because they are the same phone. xD
Although, I don't know why our accelerometer is flipped.

Could be, but with the short amount of time between release of the 2 phones, Samsung must have developed 2 phones, same hardware, flipped the accelerometer in one, and branded one AT&T, and the other T-Mobile.
Gotta say, that's a great way to save with development.

Go to the skyrocket forums, find the radio thread, and flash one of those modems.

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?

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.

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....

What they said. You can however sell your Verizon Nexus and buy an unlocked GSM one. That's the route I went.
How many times must this be answered
It won't work. Just sell yours and pony up a few extra $$ for the difference to buy a GSM model.
Just curious, but were your CDMA GNex's having problems? I've tried about 4 of them (via VZW customer replacement policy) and keep having one way audio dropouts. This combined with Google's decision to remove CDMA devices from AOSP support has me thinking of selling mine and getting the GSM version.
If I may, how much were you guys able to recoup by selling them? Is there a market for these CDMA versions?

On the XDA marketplace the CDMA Nexus is going for $400-$450. You could probably expect about the same on Craigslist. I have the GSM and got it for $565. As far as your bad handsets, it sounds like you have just been unlucky. I wouldn't sell just because of Google dropping AOSP support. I don't think it will affect the Galaxy Nexus very much if at all, and it is still going to be the most dev'd phone on Verizon. I do think it will affect future Nexus devices making their way to Verizon though.

It works on the Thunderbolt because it has SVDO for simultaneous voice/data over CDMA 3G. The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have this to my knowledge. Its a limitation of CDMA and the chip used.

So what's the MAJOR difference between AT&T sgs2 I900 (i think) and the Srint et4g?

or is it more to it than that? because if that's the case it would be amazingly easy to bring some other work over here.. especially on jellybean..
I believe atat only sells the skyrocket variant of the gs2 now, which uses different hardware. Qualcomm snappdragon s3 with adreno 220 gpu, as oppose to the spring model which uses the exynos 4210 and Mali 400 gpu.

Somewhat wrong on first account. All the major carriers use completely different LTE frequencies. Verizon uses the lower 800mhz block, ATT uses the 700 mhz block, sprint uses 850 (not yet) / 1900 (currently deploying via network vision) / 2500-2600mhz Clearwire TDLTE (future - hotspots) freqs. Although recent advancements in radios allow us to have multiple frequencies on one phone (like the i5 radio), it only goes so far.
The fact that all the S3 being very similar is due to the fact that Samsung got sick of the BS from the carriers and have finally gotten the marketshare and power to finally force the carriers into not messing with their phones. 30 million galaxy S devices + 30 million galaxy s2 devices and 20 million+ gs3's ensure that Samsung has a lot of influence over carriers.
Originally Galaxy S2 on att supported ATT's HSPA21+ 4g network but not the LTE network.
The Original AT&T GS2 (Like Euro Version), has the Exynos Processor. The Skyrocket, to have LTE, had the Snapdragon S3. This is why all US varients have the Dual core S4 and not the Quad Exynos, they all have LTE.
As far as the GS3, they took a route similar to Apple. Different carriers, but a completely unified device. Just change radio bands.

I actually own both phones well the T-Mobile variant at least which is exactly the same phone as the AT&T Skyrocket. The roms for both phones are actually interchangeable and only a rotation fix is needed. Other than shape and the fact that I can make calls and stream the web both phones run the same to me. No notification lights though for the T-Mobile variant which sucks when you get a text or missed call.
Exactly what work is it you are referring too though. I thought development on the Sprint side was way better... Unless you are referring to the first AT&T Galaxy 2

Don't let the gigahertz fool you, the Exynos variant is much faster, and well optimized for the phone.
I know the Exynos is a better processor compared to the Snapdragon.

Oh, my mistake. It looked like you were saying the Snappdragon model was faster because of the way you mentioned the gigahertz. My mistake ) Regardless, the comment was primarily directed at the OP.
It's all good. I was just mentioning the differences between the two.
