Different versionS of gsm?

i've read that Galaxy Nexus Gsm has some versions, for country in which is sold.
what are the main differences between G Nexus GSM USA and Italy? network would be the same... have i problem to use an USA G Nexus GSM in italy?

There's no difference in the radios, only in the software support due to regions.

The hardware is the same no matter what GSM model you buy. The firmware and radios can be slightly different depending on where it comes from.
In practical use, they're the exact same. The difference is that Google updates directly the "yakju" and "takju" models directly. Samsung updates the "yakju**" models that come out in different parts of the world. These updates are slower.
But it doesn't matter what firmware you have. You can flash stock Google firmware ("yakju") to any GSM model. It takes a few command line prompts and about 20 minutes to do, then you get the updates directly.

So, if i flash a rom the difference "disappears"?

Something like that. Or you could flash a stock Google build i.e. yakju. In reality there is no real difference between the builds apart from when you're getting the next update.

Yes. The hardware is all 100% (effectively) identical. Any GSM custom ROM or stock Google firmware can be flashed on them.

No difference, and you will not have any problems. A 'google' android 4.0.2 is the same as a 'samsung' android 4.0.4. The difference is that 'google' updates quicker to newer updates, while 'samsung' takes longer. I had a 'samsung' version and just swapped to a 'google.' I haven't installed any custom ROMs...

Thank you for answers, i'm going to buy it in usa and take to italy

Variants of Galaxy Note II

I know for a fact that the Korean versions and the US versions are different from the global model. What are some other variations?

What do you mean different? The only thing that changes are software (US Carriers will add some junk) and the radio bands that are supported (although if it's all the same chip, then any N2 could be repurposed with a flash or two ie. AT&T Note flashed to work on T-Mo Note, although they were both using Snapdragon chipsets).

Different as in ROMs and Kernels are not compatible

U.S. Note IIs don't use Snapdragon SoCs. They use the same Rev. 2.0 Exynos 4412 as the N7100.

Yeah, I was talking about the original Note (the Note II hasn't been released yet in the states... so my statement about flashing the AT&T model to work on T-Mo wouldn't make sense). Although I'm very jealous of you internationals, I still gotta wait a week... for the announcement...

You are absolutely right! They are all different and you should not flash SHV-E250S with any other ROM, like I did. You can read my posts to understand the result.

1. From the specs that I've actually seen online, SGH-T889 has the UMTS1700/2100 (B4) band instead of the UMTS900 (B8) band of the GT-N7100. All other bands and the rest of the hardware appear to be exactly the same between the US T-Mobile and the International Unlocked variants. Although some places mention that T889 also has a "blocked" LTE band...
2. Also, N7105 appears to have all the same bands and hardware as the N7100, and two additional LTE bands: LTE2600 (B7) and LTE800 (B20). There also appears to be a N7105T variant, which has LTE1800 (B3) instead of the B20 band on the N7105.
...alright, this can quickly become quite a tedious post
...so a little deeper google searching reveals that this information is already being compiled in a more readable format and certainly looks much more complete, too.
e.g. here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II
and here!
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacom...=3877&id11=3826&id12=3851&id13=3832&id14=3853
At least twelve variants... at least on paper, that is:
Samsung Galaxy Note II Variants
00. GT-N7100
01. SC-02E
02. GT-N7105T (LTE)
03. GT-N7105 (LTE)
04. SCH-i605 (LTE)
05. SCH-N719 (CDMA)
06. GT-N7108
07. SPH-L900 (LTE)
08. SCH-R950 (LTE)
09. SGH-T889 (US T-Mobile, LTE?)
10. SGH-i317 (LTE)
11. SHV-E250S (LTE)
Not sure how reliable all this info is, but hopefully it helps to clarify the confusion about the variants (of which there appears to be a lot!) and to make a more educated purchase decision...

There have been a lot of updates to the Wikipedia article referred above, just in the past three hours... hopefully our wiki page http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_2 reflects this info soon, too.

Unlock T- mobile/ Sprint Galaxy nexus

Inviato dal mio HTC HD2 con Tapatalk 2
Hi guys, I'm going to buy a galaxy nexus from USA to Italy. does anyone know how to unlock it to make it work with other SIM? I do not care warranty! thanks guys

If you're buying one for use in Italy don't get the Sprint (toroplus) version as it won't work on a normal GSM carrier.
Make sure you get the GSM version (maguro). And I don't believe any one of those is Sim locked.

While T-Mobile version?

As long as it's GSM it should be fine.

I do believe that the T-Mobile version is the standard GSM model, so it should work without problems

YES. EXCLUSIVELY TO SOUTH KOREA :laugh: Do not expect for 805 version to come abroad...

and no the LTE radios won't work in the US......
Edit - Actually I am not 100% sure the radios won't work in the US. Everything I've read seems to indicate it is only for Korea, but most articles are also focusing on the new LTE-A radio. I haven't seen anything to indicate what other radios are going to be included.

When can we buy one? It will work down here.

The S5 lte-a will work on at&t so I assume the g3 will.

Might need to return this AT&T G3 if this version becomes accessible and has AT&T LTE bands. It's a shame there isn't more information on it

well. this kinda sucks. I just bought the international version less than 1 month ago.
oh well. if It ever came to the local imported market here I will trade. because I do not think this will become the international version any time soon. but who knows.

I will hold out for the 805...we all knew it was coming lol.
801 g3 isnt even out yet here in canada so i can wait awhile longer.

It should be compatible then. Where did you buy the phone? New , used? Referb? Are you fully sure it's a D855? These phones are sold referbished everywhere with wrong model parts inside.

So he used the phone on the same carrier?
Cause if it only works on 2G that sounds like it's not an actual D855.

Only other thing would be the SIM card.
You have the network settings set to GSM/WCMDA/LTE correct?
