[Q]Google Nexus 2013 LTE support in EU + warranty - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hello,
My uncle from Chicago can buy me new Google Nexus 7 with LTE support. If it comes to GSM and HSPA+ are the same in US and EU.
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 700/750/850/1700/1800/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/13/17)
Europe:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)
But LTE is kind of different. Will it work in EU with no problem?
Also will Asus EU repair my US Nexus 7 without asking questions? If they don't care I'm getting that this week

What is your provider and where do you live ?
Edit: Seems like you live in Poland
CenterNet and Mobyland have 1800MHZ so it would work.
But I think 800 and also 2600 is used, so it may not work.

Well I live in Poland and in Ireland as well
In Poland there are 2(Cyfrowy Polsat, Plus) providers who provide LTE 1800MHz, so its ok?
I never heard of CenterNet and Mobyland
And how Asus is respecting warranty in EU? Do I need to buy some extra coverage for WW (like Apple with AppleCare) warranty?

I think it will work but I'm not 100% sure.
it could be a problem occur during exchangeable because in EU they only have the EU device so this could be a big problem

I have asked US customer support and the only info they could provide is that for all the model numbers they checked in warranty box it says "local warranty" which basically means that it's for US but Sean adviced to ask European branch of Asus if there would be any problems.
Unfortunately I will get some information on Monday because in Europe we just started our weekend
I will keep you posted!

Brand New HTC Desire AT&T/Rogers 3G 850Mhz - Telstra - Available in eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110525138104
$850 starting bid... $950 buyout?!? :-o
Are Rogers and AT&T using 850 UMTS or 2G 850? Reason I ask is that AFAIK the Telstra handset is 850Mhz UMTS but not 850Mhz GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
Plus, Telstras handsets have a faulty GPS (I suspect radio) which should be fixed soon but until then, it is virtually unusable.
...and they only have 12 month warranty

Based on the picture from eBay from the back of the box it says:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz
HSPA/WCDMA: 850/2100 Mhz

Wow, a G is pretty steep for a half-assed solution when the N1 is almost half that. A G for a fully assed 850/1900 version would still be pretty steep. You'd have to want bragging rights pretty badly to pull the trigger on that.
850Mhz ??? has it been downgraded?? as the desire has 1Ghz... very iffy

US/CAN version in Europe

Hi,
I was wondering if I would have any limitations using a ATT / Rogers phone in Europe (Austria)?
What worries me a bit is the different model numbers and specs (RM-808 in US/CAN vs. RM-823).
Seems HSDPA is not supported on 900Mhz in the RM-808 and according to the Rogers website their Lumia 900 does not support HSDPA on 2100Mhz either whereas ATT's Lumia 900 supports HSDPA on 2100Mhz.
gsmarena RM-808
gsmarena RM-823
Rogers Spec
ATT Spec
sorry I can't post the links as a new member
I then found a old posting telling a bit about the used frequencies for HSDPA
Europe: 2100 MHz, England 2100, 900 MHz
Asia: 2100 MHz
Australia: 2100,850 MHz
America: 850, 1700,1900 MHz
So if that is right I guess the Rogers Lumia 900 will not work on European HSDPA networks (only on the 2G)?
Or is the Rogers website just missing this detail as the model number is the same so the hardware should be identical?
I don't care to much about HSDPA 21 or 42 Mbps as there might not be a huge difference in every day use as the networks do not provide anything close to the theoretical speed.

Will the LTE version bought in the US work in the UK

I see that the T-Mobile LTE version is available in the US on the play store. It is significantly cheaper than in the UK.
I bought the v1 WiFi nexus 7 in the US and had no issues. If I buy the LTE version from the US can I assume that I can use it on a UK mobile network without issue? I presume both are gsm and there is no issue?
Thanks

Even GSM networks operate on different frequencies on different continents. LTE networks may have other frequencies than GSM networks.
I found a (german) comparisation list for LTE frequencies. For US, there are 700, 1700, 1900 and 2100 MHz listed; for UK there are 800, 1800 and 2600 MHz noted.
So, if you buy an US version, it will be useless in UK. Besides the useability, you may have to pay taxes on import, additional to p&p. Will it still be cheaper then?

For France, same frequencies than UK.
We will use someday 700 MHz also.
Some of us are waitin 4 an Euro LTE Nexus 7.
I found something about the Nexus 7 ... on http://www.google.com/nexus/7/ .
Scroll down until you see a link "Tech Specs". Open it and scroll a bit down; all GSM, UMTS and LTE frequencies are listed for different world areas.
The US and the EU version share most LTE frequency cpabilities, but the US version can operate on 700 and 750 MHz (which the EU device can't use) while the EU one can operate on 800 and 2600 MHz (which the US device can't use).
So it depends on your carrier's frequencies if you can operate an US device in UK or not.

My brother is over in the US next week and could therefore bring it back without P&P and most likely other charges.
In the UK the price is 320 GBP so the saving is around 100GBP with the currency conversion.
Currently I have my mobile with T-Mobile and a sim that I use in a mifi on Three. I am looking to move the Three mifi sim into the Nexus but I don't think that looks like it would work as it states they will use 800 and 1800. I presume that both frequencies are used?
The US device can't use the 800 MHz band, but the 1800. Maybe your carrier operates LTE at 1800, maybe not. Can't say that from here (Germany).
Going to take a chance. The US price for the LTE is cheaper than the WiFi only in the UK. Will advise how I get on

Same here Czech rep, 32 gb lte is the same price than 16 gb wifi here. But i need the 3G/4G internet can't risk it i must know
Aidenbree: this is exactly what i was thinking of doing too, so thanks for asking the question! I'm also on Three and would be really interested to hear how you get on. £100 saving is worth thinking about!
are they have different hardware ?
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 700/750/850/1700/1800/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/13/17)
Europe:

HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)
or only radio software different?
if they just use different radio, it may work by change radio

Surprisingly, the radio software is the same, in fact everything software wise is identical between both devices, there is but a single firmware for both devices. I am not even sure if the US version can't technically use band 7 and vice/versa, has anyone tried to connect to a LTE network in the EU using a US LTE Nexus 7 ? Maybe those specs are just "limited" to comply with FCC/EU regulations/certifications (Paying for the CE certification for a specific frequency can be expensive)
If there is a difference then some flag must be set hardware wise to tell the radio what frequencies it can tune to.

omg
the radio is the same
seem they fix the band though hardware
any chance the software detect the mobile services provider to decide using which band

[Q] Nexus 7 LTE Japan to Philippines

Just a question,
I'm here in Japan and I found out that the Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Edition is quite cheaper here
than in Philippines.
Would the Nexus LTE here in Japan work on the LTE connection in Philippines?
Thank you! (Sorry if some of you find the question noob-ish, i'm just not sure)
I think it will work here in the philippines since hardwares are also sinilar and the baseband/frequency forgot the exact name

Really? I'm really hesitating right now if I really should buy or not.
What carrier are you planning to use it with? You can look up what frequencies and band that carrier uses, e.g. 850 MHz and band 1.
Here's the LTE frequency/band info: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/3248332
North America and Japan:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS (1700/2100) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 700/850/1700/1800/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/13/17)
Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS (1700/2100) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)
Thanks for the info.
So I'm planning to enter Globe Telecom, so does it means I can use a Nexus 7 LTE from Japan to LTE in Philippines?
Globe uses 1800 MHz as its LTE frequency, but you should check what band they use.

[Q] Which LTE Bands

Hello;
I just bought an M8 from Turkey and I want to know which frequencies for 3G and LTE are supported. There is not enough info on the package or on the website. Is there an app that shows which frequencies my M8 supports? I couldn't find any.
