Hey guys. I just got my GNex up and running and I had a question for those using ST. I am currently running on AT&T post paid.
First off, this picture sucks. It is way too small and hard to tell where coverage is... do you know where I can find a bigger map?? If not, I'll try to get in touch with ST support...

Second, should I be looking at "Android Coverage"? I assume I should since... ya know... it's an android, but it seems like they are calling "non-android" voice only and "android coverage" data + voice. Is this correct? If so, I probably will not be able to use ST because many states I travel in will not have data service (which means no google nav).
On the webpage, if you click on the "bring your own phone" program, you get yet another coverage map which appears to be the "non-android" map above...
Thanks for the help guys.. :good:
the android coverage is sprint coverage. straighttalk does sell android phones that run on sprint's network only.
you should look at the map on the left which uses att's coverage.

Ah, that clears that up. Thanks for that. I assume the coverage is HSPA+? I'm not expecting LTE (especially with my non-LTE GSM GNex..).
its whatever att has in the area you are in.

stuff like this make me nervous and angry. whats gonna happen to their wimax customers if they do happen to go LTE? I havent seen wimax in my area yet and at this rate...very disheartened
I doubt a software update would make our evo's compatible but i dont know for certain...
one thing i know is that im not under contract and will be switching to verizon as soon as i can get to a store...because i doubt ill see wimax before sprint gives up on it. i have a feeling a lot of customers are going to be screwed over by sprint in the near future...more screwing than what is currently taking place.

I don't see the problem. They do LTE and release phones for LTE. Any current wimax customer will continue to use the wimax towers with their legacy device....

I am not sure if I misread something last time that HSDPA+ on N7100 is slower than that on the N7105 ? Is this true? I can't seem to find info on google...
I believe it's called DC-HSPA+ Here's evidence from my device:

And if you're from the UK, hardly anywhere has LTE signal yet. Ridiculously over-priced, capped data. Three(3)s DC-HSDPA+ network is incredible like the guy says above this post. I strongly recommend it. I regularly get 8Mbs which is faster than many home broadband connections....
Don't be sold by adverts - do your research and save yourself a lot of money
yeah I bought an N7105 from orange network... £499 it comes with a free decent headphone... then I unlocked it and now using 3UK with unlimited internet... the signal is all over the place though, and I used to get a maximum 6mbps... but after I upgraded to 4.1.2, the data download went up to as high as 12mbps but its sporadic... still observing everything for now
edit: I bought the LTE version for future proofing, as I intend to keep the phone for at least 3 years...... that is if I don't get "upgrade-itis" because I am a sufferer...
I also have the 7105 LTE. Without LTE activated, my speed earlier today was:
That was my fastest to date with any device (Dell Venue, several different Blackberries, Samsung Jack, and Galaxy S III).

Yes, it's true. The N7105 supports 42Mbps Dual Carrier HSPA+ (As well as LTE), whereas the N7100 only supports HSPA+ up to 21Mbps.

Has anyone noticed their FI SIM roam when off of sprint and t-mobile coverage?
I have a Nexus 6, 6p and 5x. When my FI SIM is in the 6P and N6 and I'm in sprint mode/CDMA mode and there is no sprint coverage I have noticed that talk/text and 3g data work just fine on both the VZW and the US Cellular networks.
Also when in T-Mobile mode/ GSM mode and there is no T-Mobile coverage, both talk/text and LTE/HSPA/Edge data work just fine on AT&T. Also if on AT&T I actually have mobile data while on a phone call!!!??
But on my 5x I have no roaming at all doesn't matter what I do. It will not work at all on any network except Sprint and T-mobile.
All 3 of the phones have been tried on various ROMS and kernels and that don't seem to make a difference. Currently on Chroma/Franco on all 3.
I use FI Switch by @dwithereIl and Signal Check PRO to switch between CDMA and GSM mode and to know what provider I am currently on.
What has been you experience?

No Project FI users with the 5x??
I don't have an answer for you, but you might want to ask this question on Reddit, at the Project Fi subreddit and get the Reddit hive mind working for you. You'll need to make a user ID to post questions, but you can search the subreddit as a lurker and you might dig up the answer you seek.
I have yet to be in an area where I don't have sprint and t-mobile coverage, so have yet to see my 5x roam. I have seen it switch between the two networks between home and the office. I'll be traveling to in a couple weeks, so I'll see what happens then.
Hi everyone im new to the site. I have a sprint lg g5 and im out of the country currently. So heres the deal. I requested a uicc unlock before i left. So i got here (israel) and i had roaming for about a half hour and then it just went to no service. So when i went into my settings to make sure the roaming was on i saw that the option for roaming whether domestic or international does not exist. Also network type options all i get is lte/cdma or just cdma no automatic option.
I called sprint and they said its lg's fault so i called lg and they said its sprint's fault.
Has anyone ever seen or heard of this problem?
Comments, ideas,solutions anything please i need help so i can get service.

Try the app in the OP of this thread, it should help you to access the roaming settings - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3574819

It works
Worked like a charm. Thank you!!
New January update adds fake 5G icon to AT&T H931 V30 -- to fool customers into thinking they have a 5G phone. It's the HSPA "4G" scam all over again, which AT&T and T-Mobile perpetuated on their users.

Yeah, so you can brag about your fake "5G" to all your friends.
In other countries, 4G icon means 4G. And 4G means LTE. LTE is the only 4G currently available widespread (rest in peace Wi-Max). Only in the U.S. do people refer to HSPSA as "4G" -- which is due to marketing lies from AT&T and T-mobile because they had not deployed LTE nationwide yet like Verizon had done. HSPA+ is 3G on steroids, but is NOT 4G. Which forced Verizon to then call theirs "4G LTE". That's like saying I drive a "car automobile". It's redundant. 4G = LTE.
In other countries, carriers were not allowed to lie like that, and their 4G icons simply meant they had LTE... There was no need to say "LTE" -- it simply said "4G". Whereas, HSPA was indicated by "H" as it's not 4G! There was no confusion, because it was the truth.
Now, AT&T is trying the same thing all over again with 5G.
