Hi,
have a samsung i515 need
set to dm
diagnostic port
phone is from verizon
before you get flamed, you are posting in the wrong section, not even android related, but your best bet would be using google searching or asking in Q&A section. best of lucks
Huh? Not trying to be an ass, but I have no clue what you said

Samsung i515 is the CDMA Galaxy Nexus.... Other than that his post confused me.
(OK I researched a bit... Looks like claro Codetel is a Dominican cell provider)
My best guess is he bought the verizon gnex and is trying to find a way to use it on the Dominican provider service?

Okay so I got my galaxy nexus a couple days ago after looking at a lot of positive posts in the galaxy s2 forum. I love everything about the phone but the network is just effed. I got a strong signal on my sgs 2 almost everywhere which is not the case with this phone. I have tried three radios and different roms but nothing seems to fix it. All other connections work perfectly so I don't think something is wrong with the antenna. What do you guys suggest I should do?

I know what phone I'm switching this for,

The Next Nexus
Try flashing the various radios in the Dev section, the UGLA one's are made for CA I believe.
Switch to the white nexus, maybe your carrier is racist

thank you very much for your help!!!!!
No. Verizon galaxy nexus will only work on cdma networks, it has NO GSM radio.
Other phones are capable of being unlocked for GSM but not the galaxy nexus.
You should have bought a GSM one.
Is it too late to cancel the order?

Buy the GSM model.
I don't know if you can buy off the play store in Dubai but the unlocked GSM one is 400usd.
Buy a GSM model from Google.

The sprint or Verizon galaxy nexus can NOT be used on GSM.
They cannot be flashed to run on GSM, they cannot be hacked to run on GSM and I'm pretty sure even divine intervention wouldn't help them run on GSM.
To sum up, a cdma galaxy nexus doesn't work on GSM.

He didn't say a thing about GSM.. Boost mobile is CDMA as he said.

Read his first response.
Then read his second and compare the info he offered in relation to the OP.
Dubai has no cdma carriers, ergo, sprint, boost vzw, whatever are not relevant.
I was clarifying for the op in case there was any confusion.

Okay, newbie here. Will be buying my first smartphone and I've decided on the galaxy nexus. First, some important info: I'm from Canada. Bell has the phone on a three year contract with a $50 plan, which I don't want. So I'm looking at buying an unlocked version so there won't be contracts and I can use which ever carrier I want.
NegriElectronics seems to sell it unlocked. (aww.....can't post links.)
However, when I asked the guy, he said that it was the GSM version so will only work with gsm networks. But from my research online and a similar post on this forum, it seems that any and all galaxy nexus phones have quadband gsm and pentaband hspa so will work with all carriers?
So I'm currently confused as to which one is correct. I really want to make sure. Since I'm new to this, any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Both are correct. The GNex is a quadband GSM phone, and thus will operate in all GSM networks.
Canadian carriers already killed cdma, so you can use it on basically any carrier you want on Canada. Only if it's not lte SIM card or anything like that

Thank you very much to both for clarifying. So wait, what if I buy the galaxy nexus from either windmobile or mobilicity as they both allow you to buy it outright without contract? Will I still be able to use the phone with other carriers or will it be locked to the company I bought it from?

Howdy,
Everywhere I have been searching and I can't seem to find the answer. Can I buy an unlocked version for Verizon? The reason I ask is because I look at the specs and I see LTE. Can someone help please. Thank you.

No, to use the Verizon service you will need to get the phone from Verizon and it will have logo on the front and back if it will work.
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.

So verizon phones cant be flashed to other cdma carriers? Ive seen several verizon smartphones flashed to cricket with no issues, id almost bet the gnex could flash to cricket easy.

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.
