Being a qwerty fan, I did some homework and concluded Captivate Glide as the ideal phone for me.
But the problem is, I'm in India and they don't sell this model in India.
Assuming I arrange to sneak one from the US, what are the possible issues I might face? Like connectivity issues or something?
Can I get an unlocked version from the US or unlock codes will be required to use it with carriers in India? It has a SIM slot, right?
and lastly, is CyanogenMod available for Captivate Glide?
Thanks in anticipation!

Never had a single connectivity issue. But i did have sleep deaths (were the device wont wake up during sleep), it did happen only once or twice, until now, never experienced any

Yes the glide is a GSM device, works with SIM cards. There are unlock codes available, but because the glide is only months old (almost a year), you might get your unlock code quite delayed from unlocking companies.

as per the Devs here and in teamhacksung, the Glide is capable of running CyanogenMod. If time permits, devs can get CM ported on the Glide.

In December I had bought an Captivate Glide through eBay for a great deal..
Got it to India, through Borderlinx - http://www.borderlinx.com/pages/how-it-works
(slightly costlier compared to other service providers) with duty and taxes..
+ Unlocking - 20 to 25$..
Overall it came below 500$.. I guess now it will be much cheaper..

oh that's great
Seeing you are from India, I tried to PM you the day I created this thread, but it didn't work somehow!
supposing I can have someone get me a piece from the US, I should suggest them to buy an unlocked version, right?
Will I still need to unlock it again in India? (Like with American_Unlocker and all?)
Also, are you facing any sort of problems with the sub-par network providers in India?
Sorry for the n00bness!

If you can get an unlocked AT & T or Rogers version (without carrier symbol), there is no need to unlock it again in india. once unlocked, stays for forever..
You will not face any problem with any sim provider..
At india carriers use 2G - GSM 900/1800 and 3G-UMTS 2100.
This phone has 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
I love to see how many people are using this phone all around the world ! Or at least trying too!

Okay. So say I order this deal - http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Samsung-Cap...&_pcatid=801&_pcategid=9355&_dmpt=Cell_Phones, address it to someone in US and get it in India.
I'll still need to unlock it because its from ebay, right?
Similarly if I order this - https://negrielectronics.com/samsun...glide-rogers-unlocked-black.html#.T7XUReh7VXA from Negri, it will be unlocked, right?
Also, I assume this will support 3G in India.

Great. Thanks a lot
Which deal to go for?
I have contacted someone in the US who will order the phone online, collect it and bring it to India.
Now the question is, which deal to go for? (among the choices given below?
OR
Can it bought at the stores and unlocked later through AmericanUnlocker?
Preferably, I'd choose to do the latter, if its possible!
Anyway, the online deals I could get are:
1. http://canadagsm.ca/SAMSUNG/Captivate-Glide-i927/
I don't think this is the Rogers version! I wouldn't want the AT&T logo on my phone, but then this isn't a deal breaker. $325 seems like a good price.
2. http://negrielectronics.com/samsung-sgh-i927-captivate-glide-rogers-unlocked-black.html
At $455, its almost a $100 expensive. I don't understand the reason!
3. http://negrielectronics.com/samsung-captivate-glide-at-t-black-unlocked.html
This is available for $349! Only because its AT&T and the former is Rogers!
4. http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Samsung-Cap...&_pcategid=15032&_dmpt=Cell_Phones&_dashexp=1
Ebay is giving it for $310 !!
Now this is confusing!! Why the fluctuation in prices?

I've someone bringing it for me, but I'm getting variable prices on online offers. All this shakes the trust in these retailers. That is why I want to buy it over the counter.. I'll check the price difference later, but is it possible to go to an AT&T store and buy one, without getting a contract?

Galaxy Nexus in India???
I'm thinking to buy a UNLOCKED Version of Galaxy Nexus from USA and gonna use it India.Will 3G and 4G is usable in India???.And will Nexus which is buyed from other countries and used in India gets Jelly Bean Update or not and some bug rectifying updates and will they support the product even when they didn't market this in INDIA.For Indian Galaxy Nexus users,do you guys get updates like OTG update is available for guys???.And if all the above criteria works,where will you guys download updates from,using kies or nexus site???...
Help me guys ...
I hear that the service providers of India use a WCDMA network. Thus a unlocked GSM/HSPA+ version should work properly in India.THE Version version and Sprint version are not suit for people who are not in America

If a phone is unlocked, it will certainly be usable around the world. you can use 3g for sure. 4g depending on your region. the circle is expanding rapidly. you will get the over the air (OTA) updates from google as long as the phone you buy is factory unlocked or directly from google and nothing changed. since its a nexus device, there is ground breaking support for it. updating on your own is a piece of cake, should you wish to do so. any update you would want will come directly to your phone when you connect to a wifi. hence OTA. there is no download what-so-ever using kies.
hope it helps.

Is it safe to buy it from ebay.in?
Hi Guys,
Been looking for forum of this kind for a while ton of info here. Love this place.
i'm planning to get galaxy nexus from ebay.in. Had few doubts, can someone please help me with these possible.
1. Is it safe to buy it from ebay?
2. How do these seller get these phones? (The one i contacted gets it from UK but he didn't go into specifics of how they import them.)
3. If it has a genuine UK warranty, how much of use it that to me in India?
4. I'm getting it for 25K, is that a good price or should i negotiate further?
Thanks in avance guys, really looking forward to some answers.

1. Yes its safe to get it from eBay, speak to the seller before hand about exchange in case there are issues.
2. There are people who import it and give it to the sellers, the boxes seals are opened and phone are checked for any damage(that may have been caused by transport, but original screen guard isn't removed, always check for this as it cannot be put back on the screen once removed), and then they are usually re-packed with a nice plastic.
3. You can use it in India just fine, but if you have issues you'll have to send it back to the UK.
4. I got mine for 24k about 4 weeks ago, so you can get a better price now since the play store sells it for cheaper rates.
I have been using a GNex bought from the US play store in India and it works great. Had to use market enabler to download some us only apps though. 3g on airtel works great. Running 4.1 JB right now.

Depends. If you have a relative or friend in the US, you can have them buy and ship to you, which was what I did. Or, get it from ebay or if you're in Delhi, gaffar. Street price is around 24k,ebay has it for more. Couple of my friends just got it for 24k.
My battery is good to be true, and the negative posts I read about it don't seem to fit. I average 1.5 days to 2 days, with texting, wifi, browsing here and there, music and all. Pretty darn good and satisfactory if you ask me.
Get the phone! It'll blow your mind!

Go ahead get it!!
The Galaxy Nexus sold on google play or whichever variant claims to be the unlocked GSM edition is good to go with any Indian carrier. The upside about the unlocked International edition is that it is supported by google directly which means it is elligible for all relevant upgdates from google and not from samsung as may be the case with some country specific editions of the device. i have heard that Indian users of the international edition of the phone have already recieved the JB upgrade. i think with shipping , the device should be for around 399$ in the US. if u have an inexpensive source in the US who would be peddle it for you, please go ahead. it is an awesome device . I have been on the galaxy R for the last 6 months, which is a very capable device itself , but running TouchWiz over GB , the galaxy nexus is a refreshing new experience. the stock android is exciting. A great device over all.

Dude, shipping cost depends on where you want it to ship. For me it was New York, took $390 including tax. So yeah, it's not always $400, depends on your area. Some even got it for like $370.
And yeah, I got stock JB running on mine. Gotta agree with you on the experience. The hardware may not be the best, but when you use it with the software, it's blazing fast. The smoothness is just amazing. You won't go back once you get it!
Bad battery posts are from people who got lte/ 4g I assume. Or ones who game all the time. What's important is on screen time I on average get 3.5 hrs daily. Regardless of battery time that could vary on my use of that day.

One more thing, have u got Jellybean update on it?
if so, did u get update notification when using it in India only or have u installed it manually?
I am concerned about one thing, if i'll be getting jellybean update directly from google via OTA or not.
coz i am using Xperia X10 (bought from Singapore) and didn't get any gingerbread on it so i had to install it manually.

All depends on the build. I got mine from the play store.
It's like this: Takju = gsm version from the US play store
Yakju = gsm version from Play Store, but not US, basically internationally
Both these builds get updates from Google, so you'll have no worry.
But, if you have Yakju**, which is the Yakju variant, then your updates will be controlled from Samsung, although this version of the phone is gsm too.
Hope I helped!
And yes I got JB right after a few minutes after my first boot up!

Hi all,
My brother bought me a Sprint phone in US and I want to use it in Israel - can that be done?
I mean, he told me that the phone is somehow locked to Sprint, but he paid a full price with no plan or anything so I'm guessing the the phone is probably Sim-Free?
Can the phone be somehow unlocked and used in Israel with all the features?
The phone uses CDMA technology so it can't be used worldwide.
You'd need a GSM phone since those work on worldwide common frequency and work with a SIM card.

Also, you need to get the international model, NOT the att/t-mobile. Those specifically only work with those carriers to my knowledge.
The international model is the only one that accepts a SIM card from other carriers. If you use a SIM card, then get international.
Can I buy the nexus 7 LTE version from google play and use it abroad? Has anyone done this? Would appreciate any information on countries one could use the nexus.
It'll work fine a road, but you probably won't have LTE. You'll have to make do with HSPA+.

He may get it depending on which country he's in. The NA version of the N7 LTE supports LTE bands 1/2/3/4/5/13/17.
1 - Macedonia
3 - Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (Bouyges), Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Span, Switzerland, UK
2, 4, 5, 13 and 17 aren't used in Europe.
Unfortunately, the main bands are 7 and 20. So it's possible you'll get LTE but even in those countries, some are 7 with some 3 (France for example) so you might find 3 support spotty.
Annoyingly, Canada is 4 and 7. So we have a similar problem with the NA N7 LTE. It's ok right now - but there's a growing move to 7 which will make this device a problem in a few years.
Thanks for the information guys, those are very helpful details. Am guessing the nexus 7 available from google play unlocked? The price of the unlocked version and the carrier version is the same and that got me thinking if there was a catch.
Could you use the nexus 7 with a SIM to make calls?

They're all unlocked. They just include a carrier SIM for added convenience. There's no such thing as an N7 LTE that's locked to a carrier.

I actually just bought the unlocked N7 for the same reason to travel aboard, and i didnt want carrier locks while there and having to mess to much with unlocking to insert different sims. But, i just got a Tmobile SIM, they have a plan called Simple Choice plan. They are giving free 2G of data on top of the plan you purchase from to over 100+ countries they have service. I pay $50/month for 6.5G of data for US service. I think they have a plan as low as $30/month for 2.5G US Service. And when i travel next year, to a country listed, i will get 2GIG a month, which is totally cool when im only there for two weeks anyway.
And if the country is not listed, then i just buy a local sim for data and never have to worry because the device is unlocked.

So you get 2 GB ON TOP of the 6.5GB?! That's awesome.
How about the minutes, though? If someone casks you at your US numbers and you answered, how much is the per minute cost?

So you get 2 GB ON TOP of the 6.5GB?! That's awesome.

It's not 2GB. It's 200MB.

They're all unlocked. They just include a carrier SIM for added convenience. There's no such thing as an N7 LTE that's locked to a carrier.

I thought i read somewhere thats calls were .20 per minute. I dont have phone capabilities. So i dont care. I talked with a rep, its unlimited text and data on 2G network for 100+ countries. You can buy 4g/lte data at $5 for 500MB and $10 1GIG for 7 days. The 200MB is for US service not overseas. i hope that clears up the confusion.
Hi folks
I just got my LG G4 H815 a couple days ago... The H815 is the international model... So, I was thinking if my LG G4 would get LTE here in Los Angeles, California...
But how? Simple just go to mobile network and change from GSM/WCDMA AUTO to GSM/WCDMA/LTE AUTO! And that's it!
It would work with no problem at any US Carriers! I am using AT&T and I am getting LTE.
If you see 4G, it's ok!!! Go to Setting --> About phone --> Network! You will see LTE at Mobile Network Type
Remember this is automatic settings from AT&T, any other carriers such as Net10, StraightTalk, Cricket and etc... You will need to create a manual APN, just go to the website, and you should be just fine!
Leave your comments.
Best,
Deckard
Good post Rick. I figured this out last night by trial and error. I'm also on AT&T.

Good call, I found that option when I was doing my usual romp through the options.
I'm on Cricket, after setting up the APN, really great service (including LTE).
Do u get HD Voice?

Will this work with Canadian Carriers too? I'm thinking to grab the H815 unlocked version but I want to make sure i'll get full capabilities out of it.
Thanks!
Where did you guys buy the international version? Is there a reputable online retailer?

I got mine through QUALITY DEALS SHOPPING CENTER (Being sold for $615)! VEry fast shipping 2 business at your home (By DHL EXPRESS). Although, I returned it to them, because of the faulty camera, they provide a free return label, fantastic customer service! Now I am getting my replacement from NGP USA STORE (I got lucky and I bought for $618), but now NGP raised to $699... I would recommend QUALITY DEALS SHOPPING CENTER!

It could work as long as the Canadian Carrier provides the settings in the Micro Sim Card, if you don't get LTE, you need to contact your carrier and ask for the APN settings, and so you can create an APN manually. They usually provide the APN settings on the website.

I'm on cricket as well. Do you mind sharing your APN settings?

Of course, I've just been using their recommended settings from this page...

For AT&T what APN should be used? My mode shows LTE but I have weird intermittent connection where I am at. I called AT&T and the phone is on my plan and everything. I don't seem to get a good connection.
I also have the h815 model. Was playing around with the apn and did get 4g but speeds seemed slow, and couldnt call nor text, had some mmi problem. What apn should be used for T-mobile ?

You should be able to get the settings right from the T Mobile website..

How do you set the date/time for US? Manually setting this is causing problems with apps. How can LA or SF not be on the city list?
Ive got everything set to automatic and seems fine.

Got mine from handtec.com for $457.99 USD. 2 day shipping (once it was in stock) and then the price dropped a couple dollars but that's ok. Works just fine on cricket with the apns that were automatically sent when I inserted my sim.
