The only carrier that the nexus 5 won't work for is Verizon. The phone has a cdma radio which works with sprint, and the gsm will work with att as well as T-Mobile. Most discount carriers resell sprint or att service. So, unless your only choice for carrier is Verizon, I don't see why you must return the phone.

Trust me, I've explored all options. If my house was about 100 meters north I'd have service (right behind a big hill), but Verizon is the only carrier where I get a steady signal.
There are alternatives. While at home you could go on Wi-Fi and use Line2 . you could use sprint or att and a cellular extender. When I am home I just forward my calls to my line 2 number and problem solved.

Same here. In my house, I have tried every carrier, and even Verizon doesn't give me a signal. Walk a few feet outside, and signal is fine. It's like I live in a Faraday cage. I have Google voice forward calls to my land line, and I also use groove IP app to use my cell over Wi-Fi.

I can empathize with you, unfortunately the groove ip solution is not a longterm viable solution. As was stated sometime around the release of 4.4 it was mentioned that in may of 2014 applications like groove ip will cease to function due to changes that will be carried out by google. The devs of groove have mentioned this as well. I'd urge you to take it up with your carrier, if you are convincing enough you should be able to get them to install a network range extender especially if your residence is within their network coverage area.
Just a friendly fyi
- Cheers
Line 2 is better then the groove solution and won't stop working.

I came to Verizon from Sprint. Sprint gave me their version of the network extender for free because I have no land line and need to have a signal for emergency reasons and also, just because I like having a signal in the place I spend most of my time when I am paying for the service. I was wondering if Verizon ever gives out there Network Extender when you can't get a signal in your house. I can walk outside and have a great signal, but as soon as I walk through the door inside it goes out. I have dropped several calls and it is really annoying. If anyone has any info on how to get this network extender for free(or I would be willing to pay a deeply discounted price for it), let me know. Thanks.

Very nice of you. VZW does not offer its version of Airave for free, unlike Sprint if it is determined that there is no signal at home.
So I've been browsing the internet looking for what people thought about going voip instead of buying expensive cell phone minutes.
After thoroughly researching the subject I decided to go all in and make my Nexus data only (Verizon). Verizon, however, were onto me and apparently they don't even offer data only phones anymore.
After that little set back I went back to my research. Lo and behold I found that one could switch 4G Sim cards on devices and receive an internet connection. So I canceled my expensive voice/text/data plan for my nexus ($120ish/mo) and went and got a mifi 4510L which was free with 2 yr. contract.
After doing this I simply removed the 4G Sim to try and put into my nexus and ran into yet another problem. IT WAS TOO BIG! After doing some more research I found i could simply cut the Sim to fit into my phone and walaa I was in business.
I had a deactivated phone pulling down an internet connection from a mifi plan, so essentially I've gone data only which is what I wanted in the first place.
After this I simply got myself a Skype calling plan ($2.99/mo) unlimited US calling, and purchased a Skype number ($30 for full year with the new subscription discount). The quality on Skype is impeccable I've used many different VOIP services (voip.ms/callcentric/groove ip/etc.) and Skype is the closest to sounding like an actual cell phone. I can even use it while driving down the freeway at 70+ mph and no problems. The last company I used I wouldn't even try to make a call while driving even 10mph. The audio would lag out and turn into garble.
Since everyone already has my google voice number I tied it to my newly obtained Skype number, made my Skype callerID show my Google Voice number when I call out, and haven't looked back. I've even set it up on my gf's phone. Using the same method above with the mifi SIM switchout.
So at the end of the day I have a data only phone that I can make and receive calls from and text (through google voice app) and I'm only spending ~$55/mo.
Big improvement over the $120+ I was spending. Just wanted to hear if anyone else out there had some similar stories or was thinking about doing the same thing. :cyclops:
Sounds like a deal, straight talk is $45 a month though. I did notice that Skype has better call quality than sprint voice.
Smart.

Does straight talk offer 4G? The bulk of my cost is the $50 for 5 GB I have on the data plan. I don't use much data anyways with all the free wifis everywhere and at home.

Apparently the device suffers from death grip when you grip the left side of the phone. However, the device is not dropping the signal completely, its just going to EDGE. T-Mobile has very good coverage here but I am worried about this issue.
Can anyone comment on this? Is this likely to be corrected in an OTA update? I left T-Mobile last year for the iPhone 4S on AT&T and that was a mistake in more ways than one.
I also tried out AT&T's Galaxy S III and found it to be excellent. LTE speeds weren't that great in my area but nonetheless, it was a very good device. The signal on the AT&T version seemed fine.
If I go back to T-Mobile tomorrow, I don't want a device with a poor signal. Never good to have.

Don't get the phone from the t-mobile store. You can get the 16gb for 199$ on wirefly, Wal-Mart, and target. While t-mobile is charging 279$ + 50$ rebate + 30$ activation + tax, roughly around 380$.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
The issue is when you're in an area where you are maybe getting 2 or less bars with 4g and if you hold the phone with your left it will eventually go to edge. Typically when your dbm signal is 95 or higher. But It won't happen if you have good 4g signal with 3-4 bars. So those that aren't having an issue are getting good signal already. Which Avg about 70dbm.

I've seen no issue no matter how I hold the thing. Or maybe I'm not understanding the issue.
Does it only happen when you hold it with your right hand, and more fingers are on the left side of the phone? I've tried every way I can think of, and with the case off, I get no change in bars or service level no matter how I hold it.
Hello!
I'm thinking of getting myself the new nexus with 3G when it comes out, but there might be a problem.
I've looked over the forum for the original nexus 7 and seen there are a lot more custom roms or other goodies for the wifi only version. Will this be the case as well with this year's 7? Which one would you pick?
Thanks!

Keep in mind that the new N7 is actually LTE, whereas the old one was only HSPA+ (3.5G).
It really comes down to personal preference. Do you see yourself using it? Is it worth the added cost for the device, plus the added monthly fee ($10-50/month). Can you accomplish the same goal with tethering?
I got the N73G but opted for the non-LTE N7-2.
To answer your other question, I can almost certainly guarantee you that there will be less custom development for the LTE version compared to the non-LTE one. It comes down to the percentage of what people have, especially the developers. Many custom mods are generic and can be used on either type, but ROMs will be for one or the other.
I live in Europe and LTE plans are quite rare and expensive here, so I'd most likely only use it on 3G networks.
Is there any way a rom for the wifi-only version could be ported to the LTE one?

LTE is a waste for the initial purchase cost. An extra $10 a month for Verizon isnt bad but it isn't practical. That's why I have a phone.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Not worth it if you can can WIFI tether. Only case where you might want it is if you use VOIP, like Google Voice plus Groove IP, and SIM swap in place of your phone. Personally, not worth the $118 difference.
I like having 3G access on a tablet or laptop, it's just so nice to be able to just turn on and go. I do not trust any wifi that I don't have have full control of, a man in the middle attack is trivial. Even at Jury Duty, I used my 3G data instead of the free wifi. Thankfully I have an Ipad unlimited plan from ATT, so I don't ever worry about using too much data. Since my phone and phone data is only $35 and my ipad plan is $30, it's not to expensive. If my phone plan was $80+ then I probably would not have kept my ipad data plan. I'll be buying a Nexus 7 LTE.
So it will be 4G LTE? Any chance I'd be able to use it as a phone?

If ports aren't blocked. It's just a matter of ease of use. I pop into a clients office and don't have to ask wifi access or fumble with my phone. It's more professional. People are always impressed, I whip out the laptop, it boots in 7 seconds and 3 seconds later I'm connected to my server and working. Same at an airport and no dealing with congested accesspoints.
Once you have had an always connected device , you never want to go back to wifi.

Is this the same as the advanced LTE they are rolling out in some cities? I heard the M7 won't be capable of accessing that.

I didn't get to "keep" unlimited data. I sold my soul a couple years ago and gave up unlimited data for a free galaxy nexus. Although it's not a problem for me, I have wifi everywhere I go, and my work (im the IT Manager at my company) provides me with a AWS mifi card when I travel.
And yes, I basically just reset the 2 year contract early - I'm now in for another 2 years with VZW. Again, not an issue for me because there's really no other provider in the US that I'd rather have. Verizon's 4g coverage is just too good - 2 years ago I went to Tahoe and I was getting 4g reception on 10k foot peaks while skiing...

My enterprise vzw rep said that the promotion is not being advertised and not to be fended off by store staff stating they don't know about it. For me it was easy because I dropped his name and the store manager knew him and got everything squared away for me. It wasn't just a hookup though it is a real promo. I'll see if I can stop by the store tomorrow on my lunch break and get the promo code to share with everyone.

For me it was easy because I dropped his name and the store manager knew him and got everything squared away for me. It wasn't just a hookup though it is a real promo. I'll see if I can stop by the store tomorrow on my lunch break and get the promo code to share with everyone.

That would be very much appreciated! I'm locked in until 2015 as well so I'd love to take advantage of this. I'll give my store a shout in the morning to see if I have any luck.

I didn't get to "keep" unlimited data. I sold my soul a couple years ago and gave up unlimited data for a free galaxy nexus. Although it's not a problem for me, I have wifi everywhere I go, and my work (im the IT Manager at my company) provides me with a AWS mifi card when I travel.
And yes, I basically just reset the 2 year contract early - I'm now in for another 2 years with VZW. Again, not an issue for me because there's really no other provider in the US that I'd rather have. Verizon's 4g coverage is just too good - 2 years ago I went to Tahoe and I was getting 4g reception on 10k foot peaks while skiing...

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid contracts like the plague.

Any new news on this? Would love to get a new phone out of this deal.

Sorry, I've been swamped all day at work. I did however send brholt6 all of the information I had, and he said he'd be checking with his local store at some point today. If he doesn't have any results for us today I can try to go tomorrow.
