The link doesn't work for me either. Type "Nexus Canada" or something similar in Google search and use the link it gives from there and you'll see at the bottom there are selections for Canada English and French.

http://www.google.ca/nexus is working fine for me here, in Canada...
I'm happy to see that they've finally added Canada to the list... I was starting to get worried.

Does anyone have confirmation of the post that claims Bell will be getting this phone on Nov. 14? I would love to find this to be true!

Is bell compatible with tmobile like band wise?? Thinking aboot driving to Canada if I can't get GSM stateside

Haven't heard any news about a Nov 14 release on any site other than here. The guy who claims it hasn't made any replies regarding that either so it's pretty unlikely to happen. It'll be great if it does though

The big Canadian carriers (Rogers, Bell and Telus) use bands compatible with AT&T. Some smaller ones like WIND Mobile use bands compatible with T-Mobile. But doesn't a "petaband" phone mean the Galaxy Nexus would work on both? (someone please confirm or correct me on that)

Yes. Pentaband means it carries the 1700 band aka aws. The other 4 are 850/900/1900/2100.
I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.

Can we get some confirmation that it actually is coming on the 14th - a link from a credible source?
Until then, I remain skeptical.

This phone is pentaband. It works on AT&T (so Canadian carriers) AND on T-mo.
If you're ever worried then just look at the official spec sheets. Its going to work on any GSM carrier in the world pretty much.

[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] Which Galaxy Nexus to buy?

Hi,
I was wondering what is the best version of the galaxy nexus to buy in terms of flexibility/rootability. I am using a T mobile USA sim card and i plan to buy data plan in the future. Also, where is the cheapest place I can get that version?
Thanks

GSM you have one choice, i9250. I suggest buying from the Play Store (good price, full warranty) unless you get a super good deal on a used one.

I'm in the same boat. I want to go from a CDMA variant to the GSM variant and was curious about this too. Is there a real difference between the international gsm version (i9250) and the U.S. Google play store version? For example radio frequencies or software for that matter. Getting it for $300 brand new sealed in box. Thanks.

They are the same hardware & you can flash whichever radio suits your needs.

They're the exact same hardware (pentaband GSM radio). The Play Store one comes with takju firmware, which you want, but any device can be changed to any firmware. The radio can also be changed if you want.

I thought the International version didn't have nfc?

There's only one GSM version, as far as I know, so you might as well get it from the cheapest source (google play, $350 + stuffs).
Don't forget to switch to the $30 100m/5gb t-mobile prepaid. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646755

All gsm have the same hardware, its just the firmwares that are different. The int. comes with yakju or other similar variants while the play store version is takju. Takju is basically yakju + goggle wallet. And if you are in the us, the play store is the way to go. Its a great price and has warranty.

[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.

JB 4.2.2 Waiting Room

Here in Israel both nine and my wife's 4.2.1 stock, unlocked& rooted GNEX still waiting for the OTA. This time i have decided to wait for the OTA and not force it via GSF cache clearing.
please post your location and status

OTA's aren't distributed by location, so this thread is a waste of time.
If you have an unlocked device, sideload the OTA .zip and you're done.

Unless you're on Verizon/Sprint which I doubt!

you can treat this thread as a poll.
how is the distribution is manged? is it by S/N? or IMEI?

Wait for about 6days and still not get the OTA notification. At last use the GSF trick.

I think you are mostly right. I'd guess less Sprint folks, as they were at least brought up to 4.2.1 recently. Verizon likely didn't even consider that possibility.

I have the unlocked GSM model purchased from the play store and haven't gotten the update yet. Tried clearing the data on google framework services-still nothing....Galaxy Nexus Takju....
If I sideload the update, will it reset my device? Will it delete my apps and pictures?
Thanks.
Just got it 5 min ago...lol I guess sometimes it does take a couple extra days for it to get pushed to everyone...

So I have the sprint model.
Does this mean I'm not getting it?
Or just that there's no ETA at this point?

All he's saying is basically to move to one of the GSM carriers. In the United States, that would mean AT&T or T-Mobile. Having a GSM carrier means that you can buy your Nexus from the Google Play store, pop a SIM card in from the GSM carrier of your choice, and it just works. Their plans are usually less money (though AT&T is more expensive than Sprint, I think), and plus your phone will actually work outside North America. The GSM Nexus phones work on just about any GSM network anywhere in the world.

So... How do you initially get the GSM carrier? Do you get the carrier or the phone first?
And what you're saying is AT&T and T-Moile are GSM
And Sprint and Verizon are CDMA
Right?
I'm probably going to T-Mobile when my contract is over. Which isn't for a long while unfortunately.

Days after my Nexus 7 got the OTA, I decided to manually fastboot update my Galaxy Nexus.
Doesn't fix the bluetooth tethering issue -.-

Hi I'm in the UK with GSM Yakju version on stock 4.2.1 and still haven't received the OTA. I have a Nexus 10 which I got earlier this month and its already on 4.2.2. Just hope my device isn't faulty or something. Anyone in the UK with the same version as mine already running the latest update?
