I was wondering if anyone could explain this. I imported a galaxy nexus gsm. I took my tmobile sim card from my nexus one and it works fine. But I'm not able to get HSPA+ (4g)? The person I share my minutes with has a samsung side kick and can get 4g. Is it my sim card? or is it tmobile just doesn't know what my device is and I need to spend 2 hours on the phone with support?
New sim card should fix it

oops
yup, that was it. Thanks.
I recently switched to a 4S because I was having issues with my call quality on my Nexus and am wondering if I switch back to the Nexus that I should just have to do an ESN change shouldn't I?

Yes, if you have both phones in your possession, you can easily do it on the Site, or with a tier 1 tech over the phone, I switch phones all the time and they have begun saving my phone ESNs in my account lol.

Well I switched accounts that my old sim was associated with so I assume I'd have to get a new sim...

Yea you'll have to get a new 4G sim card.
hey guys ,
I bought a verizon 32 gb Galaxy Nexus (sch 1515) from craigslist. I was in a hurry so i didnt bother to check the phone. (i know i am stupid )
But I am with t-mobile. And when i put my t-mobile simcard in to it. it did not recognise it.
MY question is ... Is there any way to make this phone work on t-mobile (unlocking or anything else ) , Or am i better off by selling it away?
Any help is greatly appreciated
thank you
Nope.
Verizon uses CDMA technology, so it's not compatible with T-Mobile's network. Sell it or trade it for a GSM model. Probably cost you a little bit more, since the unlocked (GSM) version has better resale value usually.

I am currently on Verizon, with a Galaxy Nexus. I bought a Droid DNA off of eBay (really good deal), and want to know if I can just pop in my sim card, and go. I know the sizes are different, so I can use a sim cutter, and go to town on it. When I was checking the ESN with the Verizon rep, they said I would need to call to activate the phone. I've read on the interweb you can swap sims on 4G phones with no issue. So, much like everything on the interweb, there is conflicting information. What's the good word?
Actually both the DNA and gnex require micro sims, so it should fit right away. and yes, you can just pop in the sim and wait for it to recognize, but do it on the sense ROM before gaining s-off and flashing roms because I remember reading that cm doesn't have a certain file or something that prevents you from activating it when you run a custom ROM. Anyways, to answer your question yes

Verizon would need to activate because they use cdma and only use approved devices on their network.

Well Verizon exclusive devices like the droid DNA are pre-approved, and as long as it was sold by Verizon period, and is a 4g device, then you can swap sims all you want.

But this seems to contradict what is on Verizon's own website:
http://support.verizonwireless.com/faqs/VZAccess/4g_sim_card.html
Can I use my Verizon Wireless 4G SIM in more than one device?
Yes; the Verizon Wireless 4G SIM card contains all of your subscriber information, so the SIM card is portable and can be used in any Verizon Wireless-certified 4G device. All usage will be billed to the account associated with the 4G SIM card.

I'll find out for sure when my phone arrives in the mail, and I'll update this thread.
I took the Sim card from my wife's stratosphere and put it into my old droid charge and it worked just fine. All I had to do was wait for it to recognize the Sim.

I'm sure your right. I was just basing my answer on my years of sprint service. Never had Verizon 4g.

I left sprint for verizon a little over a year ago. I have had no remorse leaving. Not to get too far off topic, but the only real benefit to sprint is their unlimited data. But since you can't connect to their network, or it's slow as hell, what's the point?

Got my phone today. Popped in the Verizon 4G sim from my Nexus, and my DNA read the service with no issues. I did not have to call Verizon to swap the phone.

I was considering getting the BOGO deal for the HTC but I was thinking about selling the other HTC to my friend who is on straight talk (Verizon) would he be able to use it on his line? I know all the 4G phones are now unlocked but I'm not sure if he'll be able to use IT anyone know...
