Order a galaxy nexus but received a docomo. Should I keep it?

Like the title suggest I paid about 400 and I really don't know the difference between them but I'm sure this isn't one I should keep or should I? I would hate to go through the hassle of shipping and waiting but then again I want the correct version. The input is appreciated

I believe theres a DoCoMo thread in the General section, there's an unlocker app in the dev section as well originally made for GN-Docomo's

But my Sim card works I'm on att. I just want to know if there's a major difference enough so to return the phone. Every thing seems to be working fine I just don't want problems down the road because this is a domoco

I think the differences are only limited to the supported network bands. But it seems everything's working fine for you on ATT.
On a firmware level, docomo may not be yakju stock - your future Android updates won't be coming through from Google but from Samsung, at a later date.

I personally would not keep Docomo version as from searching i found that with such version you have to either satisfied with being not permanently unlocked (SIM Unlock code request will appear each time you flash a new ROM or make a factory reset) or satisfied with being permanently unlocked but with generic IMEI.
When I bought my Nexus here in Vietnam there were a lot of Docomo ones but I rather waited for European version and was willingly to pay 20-50 USD more (Docomo version here in Vietnam is sold for 20-50USD cheaper than European version). Hope helped you with decision.

I actually used the galaxy toolkit and everything seemed to work fine. So I'm on yakju now. And I actually like the nexus more than the one X if that's hard to believe

I actually flashed the factory Google rom yakju on this phone and it didn't ask for an unlock code. Sim still worked. Haven't tried a rom yet but that will be my next test, I don't think it will be any different. Thanks everyone for your replies

Where to get galaxy nexus for t-zone usage?

If I were to buy galaxy nexus, would it better to get it from play store or negri for t-zone usage?

umm they're essentially the same (or can be simply made the same)... so it doesn't matter.

they're the same phone but may ship with different variants,
Play Store: Guaranteed "takju"
Negri: may come in different variants, yakju/yakjuxw/etc....
but nevertheless, you can always flash it to "takju" or "yakju" so yeah it doesn't matter

Well, isn't the one from negri(NTT Docomo) internation brand so tmobile won;t have their imei?

NTT Docomo's version is carrier locked to NTT Docomo. You can fix this by unlocking it.
T-Mobile doesn't need your IMEI. But I don't know what T-Zone is.... I just popped in my SIM card and the phone works with my T-Mobile plan.
The non-Docomo version on Negri is cheaper,

http://www.expansys-usa.com/google-nexus-prime-android-smartphone-unlocked-16gb-224148/ $409 (even cheaper)
play store: $399 but you have to pay taxes is what im told.

As I said, they can be made the same.

T-zone is the old old $6.00 internet plan. A few month ago they blocked nexus one's imei so I am looking for a new phone to use t-zone on.

I bought mine brand new on ebay. The seller happened to be in US but they are usually sold by Canadian ebayers. Not many people know about it. Unlocked ver is lil more expensive. When u go on ebay, Try 's ii x' in search field then choose cell phones under categories tab on the left side.
Some times, it is found on t989 Unlocked version section. Or u could try ebay.ca(canadian ebay) and then search the phone and then narrow it down to if the seller is shipping to US or not.
I recommend g nexus because price has dropped alot and u can also get us warranty now. I also really like aosp.
Of coaese I am happy with gsiix as u literally experience no lag due to high processor speed and RAM.
As for s ii x it is exactly same as tmobiles g s 2 wihout tmobile logo and they wont make u get android plans. Wifi calling works on s ii x but u will need new tmobile
Sim card version TM9177 just as all other tmobile gs2 users. I tried the sim card to use wifi calling and it worked great. I hope this helps.
Edit: I would wait a little as g s 3 is about to be released. Price for GN and SIIX will likely drop.
HTC sensation xe z715e could be a better choice if u can get one new under 400 and I dont think it uses dual channel hspa+ like the previous two. I could be wrong so u might want to confirm that.
Sent from my Galaxy S 2 X

One more thing that I would like to mention is that HSPA+ can be picky for both gnex and gsiix for ur tzone. depending on ur location. This is different from hsdpa of nexus one, nexus s or hd2 etc. If you are concerned with rather have consistent and good 3g plus connection and if u r on the move alot then I recommend nexus s. If you have to have WiFi calling and good 3g plus connection then I recommend a HD2 but it has to be second revision. Otherwise your digitizer will fail sooner or later.
I ve tried it in mostly eastern part of major US cities. Charlotte, Atlanta, NYC and Boston. I came to this conclusion based on my personal testing and experience so I have no data to back up my cliams. I am just sharing it cuz it might be useful to others.

thanks for taking the time to answer. the search begins!

I got too tired of waiting for perm root/bootloader unlock soooo.....

I got a nexus 6. Traded it for my Note 4, plus the guy gave me 50 bucks. So that sweetened the deal for me. Overall I'm very happy with the trade, especially because I have an unlocked bootloader and can put any rom I want on it. So happy beyond belief. I'm sorry to anyone still stuck on their ATT note 4. It was pure boredom for me. Wish everyone on this forum luck, and it was fun while it lasted with you guys!

I feel l ya.
Personally, I won't own a Nexus. I need a top notch camera, and it just falls short.
But between the Note 5 lacking expandable memory, I have chosen to go with the LV V10 (when released) as my next phone, even though I love the Note line. And, of course, AT&T will not ever be in my carrier line again.

This video had some pretty nifty tips to address the battery and expandable memory issues in the note 5 - https://youtu.be/lFyZ5YyAsk4..
Everyone carries a battery pack anyway and I've personally not replaced the battery on note 4 since I bought it last year..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I'm happy for you. Personally I will never buy another Samsung phone again from AT&T. If they want government contracts that much then go right ahead. I'm going to definitely get new LG V10 when it comes out but hoping that the bootloader isn't locked and that I can at least put in a 128gb micr sd memory card. With Samsung doing what they did to make the S6 more like the Note series it's safe to say that the Galaxy Note series is officially dead. It's crazy how Samsung sacrificed their best selling line of phones for another line of phones that fail every year in sales and customer satisfaction. You would have thought that the Galaxy Note series would've became Samsung's new flagship phone. Wish I still had my Note 3 cause it was rooted but I'm stuck now with the Note 4. LG V10 or an iPhone cause those are my only options.

Couple things.
First, placing your pictures in Google, according to their policy you agree to when you use it, allows them to use any of those pictures for advertisement of their products or services. And they can do so without your permission, since you agree to it by using them to store your pics. Frankly, I'm not too keen on that one.
Also, since I listen to a lot of music, but get songs from different sources, Google Music is not an option since you can't listen to songs through them that was not purchased through them.
Music & pictures/camera are my primary concerns when buying a new phone, and I use a lot of space for them. On my Note 4, I've got a 128gb card with a 32gb phone, and I'm down to 12 gigs on the card and 6 on the phone. But personally, I love having everything I want at my fingertips without using external storage or needing to be around a signal.

I'm a die hard Google music user. I uploaded my entire music collection to Google. Over 100 gigs total. None of it was purchased through google. I stream it every day from their app without problems.

With 5.1.1 the note 4 is a brand new phone ?, i am actually liking the phone and functionality. It's smooth and just feels good to use. If you haven't updated you need to, update to the 5.1.1 on att totally worth the trouble.

So, Im with you guys on this... I CANNOT use an unrooted phone. Problem is, I also MUST have a stylus with pin point precision... Can anyone help me out bc I cant find a single device (NO APPLE) that has one besides the note line! I would go back to my Note 2 if the screen wassnt smashed... Are their ANY options for my needs? TIA!

Find a t-mobile version of the Note 4, unlock it and use it on AT&T. It's rootable and flashable.

Looking at the specs for both, it looks like they're MOSTLY identical...except that AT&T and T-Mo have most, but not all, of the same frequencies for UMTS and LTE bands. Everything seems the same, except:
AT&T
UMTS 900 (Band 8)​LTE 2600 (Band 7)​T-Mobile
UMTS 1700/2100 (Band 4)​LTE 900 (Band 8)​LTE 1800 (Band 3)​
Are the frequencies that AT&T and T-Mo share, those frequencies that they both use most commonly, and the above frequencies are mostly just for increasing available bandwidth for their respective networks? Or is it possible that either of them might use only the above bands, in some areas?

I have no idea about frequency stuff. All I know is that I've read on here about people getting the t-mobile version specifically because the AT&T version is not rootable.

Yes, the frequencies between AT&T and T-Mobile are different and do matter when it comes to data. You will not be able to get access to all towers LTE tech unless the phone has the proper hardware in it. It will limit your 4G usage but you could at least have a rooted phone. You kind of have to pick your poison in that regards.

I hope the other guy sees this, then. I'm not in the market to swap phones. I'm fine on my stock AT&T note 4. This makes sense, though.

Actually, from what I could tell, if pdadb.net and wikipedia have their respective info correct (and current), the only frequencies the T-Mobile version doesn't have, that the AT&T version has, are frequencies that aren't even used by any U.S. carriers. According to pdadb.net, the frequencies the AT&T version can use, that aren't available on the T-Mobile Note 4 are UMTS 900 (Band 8), and LTE 2600 (Band 7). According to this Wikipedia article, the LTE2600 band isn't in use anywhere in the US. It's used in Canada, but I don't anticipate visiting there, or anywhere else outside of the US, any time soon. (There's another article that shows similar info about the UMTS900 band, but that's even less relevant.)
So, it looks like I'm looking for a T-Mobile Note 4, if I can find one for cheap, that's not too scratched up, or anything.

I just gave up on my att note 4. Switched to the T-mobile version.

Gave my wife the Note 4 cause she broke her Lg G Pro. Had to use my Nexus 4 for a week. I kind of like the small form factor. Any ways..picked up a Lg G3 off ebay for $150 bucks like new. Enjoying custom roms!

What version S4 to get (Carrier, Unlocked US, Korean)?

So I have the S3 and talked the other half into why I need to upgrade!
I'm on AT&T and am using a US Cell S3 w VzW Oreo so am not afraid of porting and making it work.
I do want AT&T NumberSync though, which is why I'm leaning towards getting it direct. But, I've seen a few forums mention getting the Korean version for the 6GB of RAM.
I'm looking to be educated, so please let me know your thoughts. I need it to be cell.
Sent from my SM-T827V using Tapatalk

IMO go with Korean. Unless you don't care about paying for additional tablet line and rooting.
I'm able to use my existing voice sim in the tablet and it has a phone app and messaging like a regular phone.
Originally I bought the Verizon version - no oem unlock, requires tablet sim and only 4gb ram
Basically only downside I can see to ordering Korean one through eBay is the time you have to wait for it to get here. Not that bad but not the instant gratification we all want! I never knew about ordering foreign tablets, was always scared off by lack of warranty. But due to how carriers restrict US tablets, I will be buying from Korea every time in the future.

Because the international version lacks a warranty, at least for USA consumers, I purchased a Squareteade warranty.
Being in HK, I'm not sure if a warranty might apply to you or not, or if there is another similar 3rd party warranty available.

so if i don purchase an extra warranty i can get it replaced only if it's damaged or not working properly?
also, does the extra warranty cover all imperfect problems observed including but not limited to those i mentioned above?
and how about rooted device? covered or not? for example, rooted but green lines found later?

Yes. I'm on TMobile can use play store, Samsung dialer as if it were a phone, texting everything. Works great no issues.
TMobile sees it as an unknown phone I notice no throttling whatsoever besides the same video throttling that applies to all phones. (A VPN handles that anways. )

Thanks. I'm on AT&T so it will definitely work.
I've tried finding a definitive answer but I couldn't find it. I've watched numerous videos that showed the phone icon but nothing showing it being used. Thanks again. This will definitely be my next phone.

Korean Fold (SM-F907N) in Canada?

I guess I should have asked this before, lol, but I just purchased a Korean Fold mode SM-F907N which is supposedly unlocked. It's supposed to be the 5G version but we don't quite have that here so I am not worried about that. I am just wondering if regular LTE etc will work?
I purchased the Canadian Fold when it first came out and ended up returning it within the 2 week period as I was super paranoid about its longevity. However, I've been kicking myself since then. Purchased the Z Flip a couple weeks ago and it just wasn't cutting it...not the same.
Called around at Samsung store to see if I could buy the Fold again but I was told that they are not longer going to be getting them, even though Samsung online told me that I should be able to get them locally. Anyway, got frustrated and ordered a Korean version on eBay and just want to make sure everything will be good as I guess I still have likely a few hours to cancel the order if need be.
Thanks everyone.

It works perfectly in Vietnam with the LTE so it should be ok in your country!!! Mine is brand new and unlocked!!!

Great, thanks very much for your response. I just wasn't sure about what bands my carriers use in Canada vs what they use in Korea etc. But glad to see it shouldn't be an issue. Just waiting for it to be shipped now!

Glad I'm not the only one, sold my SM-F900F and went back to my Note 10 Plus for Android 10 and miss the Fold ever since. Just got a Canadian SM-F900W variant and will be using it daily again! I'm sure the SM-F907N variant will have all the bands for use in Canada, but LTE icon will be shown as 4G.

Glad I'm not the only one, sold my SM-F900F and went back to my Note 10 Plus for Android 10 and miss the Fold ever since. Just got a Canadian SM-F900W variant and will be using it daily again! I'm sure the SM-F907N variant will have all the bands for use in Canada, but LTE icon will be shown as 4G.

Oh that's good to know, thanks for mentioning. Otherwise I would have always thought that I am not getting LTE.

SM-F907N in US

I guess I should have asked this before, lol, but I just purchased a Korean Fold mode SM-F907N which is supposedly unlocked. It's supposed to be the 5G version but we don't quite have that here so I am not worried about that. I am just wondering if regular LTE etc will work?
I purchased the Canadian Fold when it first came out and ended up returning it within the 2 week period as I was super paranoid about its longevity. However, I've been kicking myself since then. Purchased the Z Flip a couple weeks ago and it just wasn't cutting it...not the same.
Called around at Samsung store to see if I could buy the Fold again but I was told that they are not longer going to be getting them, even though Samsung online told me that I should be able to get them locally. Anyway, got frustrated and ordered a Korean version on eBay and just want to make sure everything will be good as I guess I still have likely a few hours to cancel the order if need be.
Thanks everyone.
I have been using SM-F907N since November 2019. Samsung Pay does not work in the US. It looks for a SIM from Korea! I use Android pay instead. I got security updates and got Android 10 a few days ago. Everything else seems to work OK. The screen has been doing fine although there are some fine scratches and the "fold". They don't interfere with viewing. The max screen resolution could be higher. I hope this helps.

You probably got your phone by now lol I only recently purchased the Korean variant of the Fold. It works perfectly and I get the LTE icon on the Telus network
