HTC Incredible DLX losses out to LG over next Google Flagship Device.

That's right, confirmed yesterday with a release date of November 13th, the Google Nexus 4 will be a 4.75" Quad Core Snapdragon S4 device marketed by LG.
I know I and many in the HTC Community were looking forward to the supposed HTC Branded Google Nexus 5 (ie HTC Incredible DLX).
The LG branded Google Nexus 4 will not feature 4G LTE capabilities and looks like it won't feature 4G at all. It will offer Android 4.2, 2GB RAM, wireless charging and other features. More can be found here

After reading about it and looking at the pics im stumped. Did iPhone let LG put their logo on their phone? I mean come on seriously? Encased in glass? What's next an iPhone/android hybrid that runs windows??

They are not supporting 4G because of the updates and making the firmware for all that Verizon crap and cdma bullsh*t
So they just wanna do it to provide fast updates and easy as its unlocked

Pretty sure the LGNexus 4 also only comes in 8gb and 16 gb models... with no sd card. That right there did kind of turn me off of it. One reason I'm not a big Apple fan...

Here's the Google Play store page for it Nexus 4

I was looking forward to the Nexus 4. I was so sad when I found out there was no 4G and it would not be on Verizon. Haven't had a Nexus device yet. Guess now I'm for HTC DNA or whatever they decide to call it...

The simple fact is is that Verizon does not support timely updates or unlocked devices. Its also common knowledge that LTE is a huge battery hog. My brother has T-Mobile HSPA+ 42 and has no problems streaming Netflix, which is what most people complain about. Besides, LTE is only available in 8 countries worldwide and even in those countries its only available in certain areas.

Can someone please fix the ****ing thread title?

[Q] Verizon lte 4g Samsung Nexus sch-i515

Hi guys new to the forums i did alot of searching and researching but just cant figure out a solution. I purchased this phone as a replacement to use in canada on the bell mobility network when i first recieved the phone i went to bell and tested with there sim card and the phone would not connect, so after being dissapointed i went home and downloaded and installed the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.1 and unlocked and rooted the phone hopping this was my solution after this i headed back to the bell store and tested again still no luck I am hopping someone has any ideas for me i really would like to get this phone working
thanks

From what I understand, Bell is a GSM network correct? Well, Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The SIM card in our i515 is only for LTE. That's it. It won't work on Bell, I'm pretty sure you need an unlocked GSM Nexus for that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Bell Canada is not a CDMA carrier, you bought the wrong model, research first next time.

id like to know where you found that? if its from bell's website, you need to ask them how to flash a CDMA phone to their network.
if its not from their website, uh yeah... they're pretty much GSM only from what i know of them
EDIT: you found that information not from their website. here's the info you shouldve read: http://support.bell.ca/Mobility/Net..._phone_or_smartphone_work_on_the_Bell_network

oh well im guess im pooched its the internal electronics that are not compatible i was hoping the unlocking and rooting would do the trick

No... The CDMA Nexus will only work on Verizon. I believe some of the very small carriers will work but don't depend on it. I think Rodgers may have a chance, but VZW is very tight about its phones

You could probably manually program it with the tools autoprime posted here in general for 3G, Talk, and Text but you'll never get LTE on it.

Its all about what frequencies the phones radio has. My old incredible 2 had a different radio and could go to cricket, yet my nexus can't get to any other because of the fact that there's more than one CDMA frequency.

Flashed Htc One ?

I am wondering if a sprint Htc One flashed to verizon would get as good of a signal and a verizon branded One?

Most likely not. Different carriers run on different frequencies.

But if they run off the same tri-band cdma freq. , or for example sprint run 800 and verizon run say 805 ?
Just curious is all.

That's LTE which isn't used for voice right now. The CDMA networks aren't even close.

.... That sounds wrong... Maybe their postpaid is different. From what I understand not only are the frequencies different version must sign off on every phone on their network...
After some research I've seen both sides being positive they are right. One constant though is that Verizon must sign off on every phone in their network. Perhaps their post paid works differently.... Or maybe I'm wrong

I used to run a Sprint HTC Touch Pro on the Verizon network.
I ported it over, but that was years ago.
Both 1x voice and evdo/3g worked fine.
Was a bit trickier to get 3g then it was the 1x but lte certainly won't work on a Sprint on Verizon.
I certainly wouldn't go buy one from Sprint though planning on getting the ESN to get passed by their checks.
That's all I will say about that aspect.

I'm not sure about sprint but the vzw one is global which means ANY network will work, but you won't get better data . I just popped a metro pcs Sim in my DNA and my son is using it with no issues except weak data .

just because a phone is global doesn't mean it will work on all networks. there are too many possible bands to acct for. You would need several radios, which would eat battery.
"Global" phones will work on the most popular bands.
As far as LTE, there is not a chip that has all the US bands.

Global doesn't mean that at all.... The Droid 2 Global doesn't work on all networks. It simply means it will work in multiple countries...

Can I use this phone in London?

I'm gong to London for work. Is there a way I can use this phone?

It is a global phone. Just need to get a SIM card from over there to pop in. Sure there are others that can go more in depth but in a nutshell the answer is yes
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

Yes. Just used it there for 3 weeks. Drop into a Carphone Warehouse and get a 3 SIM card. Unlimited data, calls and text (within the UK, of course) for £15.

I'm fairly sure that all 4g phones are global and unlocked as well. I used my phone in the Philippines with a new sim, and with an old Droid RAZR, no issues on either. Not sure about the iPhone but it doesn't really matter anyway ;p

Like the iPhone, there's a slot on the side. A tool comes with the phone in the box. Or a paperclip should work too.

Are you saying that if I go to a country that has a GSM-only system and toss in a GSM Sim, I can use this phone and Verizon gets no cut and is otherwise not part of the transaction? IE acting fully unlocked?!!

Sorry to be dense, but HERE is the HTC One link at GSM Arena. How do I know which bands are supported by the Verizon Model. It seems to only single out a "Sprint" band. Thanks for the help.

The Verizon Wireless HTC One is a true world phone, with quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), dual-band EV-DO Rev. A (850/1900 MHz), dual-band UMTS (1900/2100 MHz), and LTE support; it runs at 4G speeds here in the U.S. and 3G speeds overseas in most countries.

HTC One with SIM on straight talk?
Are you saying that if you take this phone, and plug in a straight talk SIM card, it should work? Granted it may not run any faster than 3G, but it'll work?

Verizon one and Verizon droid DNA gsm radio differences ?

So I've been doing some research since I have both phones. When I try and compare the gsm radios, for both the DNA and the One, they seem to have the same bands: 800,850, 1900.
Can anyone tell me the difference with the DNA? I have both an att and tmobile SIM card and on both cards with the apn's set correctly I get hspa speeds on the DNA but only edge on the One.
Anyone know what the difference is?

It must be the case because they both have the same bands except for the DNA running on the lte band of 750 I think.
Also it could be that my DNA is rooted and running a global Rom which possible has an unlocked radio. Not sure but it's strange.
