[Q] Galaxy Nexus vs Galaxy note

Hello I am using Nexus S at the moment, and now I'm looking for new phone!!
However, can't decide between Galaxy nexus and note,
any advice or suggest?
Thank you

If you have T-Mobile you're better off with the nexus as the note doesn't get T-Mobile 3G.. otherwise I would have a note

Oh... actually, I'm living in New Zealand, and use vodafone now -0-

The nexus is pentaband 3g which is more world compatible. Plus higher dpi

Sorry haha. Yes the nexus is pentaband so it is more likely to work as opposed to the note.

Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda premium

Definitely can not be used on t-mobile
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

The reason I ask is because its cdma and GSM. Been searching around and seems that it can be unlocked with gevey but no sure truth.

i used to work with jailbraking iphone!!
the new iphone 4s its a worldwide phone!!
it have all the chips on the phone the CDMA and the GSM with only ATT VERIZON AND SPRINT frequencies
so yes you can unlock the iphone 4s with sam method and make it work with tmobile
remember you will only get edge not 3g/4g

not all the phones from CDMA are only CDMA the Razer from verizon can work on tmobile, the motorola phanton from sprint works on tmobile etc etc

Sam method no longer works, so the unlock isn't possible anymore

Yes you can its cdma and GSM as long as it is on firmware 5.0.1 and not 5.1, you can jailbreak it and use the Sam unlock tool. But I wouldn't reccomend doing that because it can only use edge.. and well T-Mobile edge is terribly sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Like it take 4 minutes to locate you on google navigation.

Don't do it. You will only get edge data (2g) and the iPhone does not compare at all the the galaxy s ii. (Unless you like really simple boring phones) the only thing the 4s has on the galaxy s2 is more apps, but android is catching up. I've had an iPhone on T-Mobile and the data speeds are unbearable.

The reason I'm trading to is to sell thar phone and get the note.

So.. Why do you care if it's unlockable if you are going to sell it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

because i used to get double the money if the phone was jailbroken or unlock..
if you wanna get the note just trade your s2 with a note some people just dont like the big screen after they got it and the only phone similar is the s2 plus it is confirm that the tmobile s2 works on att 4g!
so no pro there

this is a little late but... don't buy any sprint phones since you're not even going to activate it on sprint right away. They can report it lost and have it blocked to be used on sprint.
There is no true way to unlock the sprint phone. You can make it a world phone and have the gsm unlocked for outside the US, but not for the US gsm carriers. the SAM method basically just spoofs your t-mobile sim and that sim only. So if you would to use another sim, it will not work unless using the SAM method again. I believe the SAM method portal has been patched recently so it is down for the moment.
the value for the sprint iphones are below our phone, so I don't see why you don't just sell the white t989.

He's talking about SIM.
Sprint (CDMA): Only for Sprint [other networks cant use this phone.. incompatability]
Verizon (CDMA): Same
GSM Galaxy Nexus: Unlocked
DoCoMo GSM Galaxy Nexus: Locked... use search feature for unlocking tool.

You can buy an already unlocked one from Google for $400

Well I'm guessing I need to get the unlocked one its not a bad price for being unlocked I probably will unlock my glide and sell it but is this phone a good phone

All of them are unlocked really.
Sprint / Verizon: only works on their respective networks because they're the ONLY carriers who use that technology.
GSM is a better variant overall. Updates from Google (Yakju/Takju), better battery life. $399 on Play Store.. yes its good, its a nexus device

Another Nexus Question
Does anyone know if the next Galaxy Nexus for Verizon will come with a microSD slot?

No.... don't make this thread into a Nexus 3 speculation thread.
And there is no such thing as the next "Galaxy Nexus" it'll most likely be under a new name unless its called GN2 which I'll be surprised if that was the name.

Thanks for the help I'm probably going to get it when I have the money

[Q] Unlocked Galaxy Nexus works with all carriers?

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?

[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.
