Are there any working build for the sprint version? All I need working is phone, WiFi, SMS, internet oh and obviously the CDMA network. Anything else I can live without.
It was only in developing state and now they dropped support for thw galaxy nexus. So I dont think so..

I did some research (apparently not enough) and discovered that verizon phones will work on US Cellular networks. Get them to change the ESN, do an over the air update ETC ETC .. well I'm sure you can guess what happened now.
Apparently the Galaxy Nexus doesn't HAVE and ESN? well, does anyone have any idea what I can do here? I really love the GN, verizon was too expensive. . fma.

The UK (GSM) version will work on AT&T and T-Mobile in the United States

The CDMA is for LTE only. Doesn't work for Sprint or any other carriers other than Verizon.
I don't understand what you want us to say? .... Get the GSM version instead? or wait for Sprint's version to come out, which can be awhile.
only 3G Verizon phones will work on US cellular.

It's about time. Can't believe it took them so long to update.
Anyway to use this with Cox cable? I don't live in an area with Verizon Fios or Time Warner.

Hi all, i travelling to hawaii soon, and was thinking about purchasing a galaxy s3 while i am there, will i have any problems using this phone once i return to australia, i also noticed there are many variants of the s3, is there any i should avoid, or are they all the same but with different bundled software ?
i am keen to flash this device with custom roms in the future, so bundled software is not a huge concern of mine
Its either at&t or T-Mobile versions of galaxy s3 will work in your country but remember it will be sim locked...
Edit: might vary in Hawaii not sure if T-Mobile has network there...

They definitely have network there. My brother just moved there, and there are a few members on here also.

Yes there's network here. Lol.

Wouldn't i be able to use the application 'GalaxSim Unlock' to unlock the sim, or would the S3's in hawaii likely be the Us qualcomm based GS3's ?
Why dont you just get one in Australia? Seems like a lot of trouble to go through? When you in Hawaii you just have to put a prepaid sim in it for it to work. Then when you go back home you have a phone that works well for your country without the hassle of doing something special to the phone to make it work for you. Plus you wouldn't be able to access the 4G networks of the Australian carriers with US variants.

Because they are much cheaper to buy, also, i do not consider unlocking/flashing etc to be a difficult task, i actually enjoy it, call it a pastime that i enjoy if you wish.
Also, only the 4G version of the S3 is going to work on a 4G network, so if i dont buy the 4G version, its not going to be a problem anywhere in the world
Fair enough.

What? All versions of the S3 are "4G". The one in hawaii will be Qualcomm based. If you buy an ATT one in Hawaii the LTE will not work in Australia

i beg to differ in regards to your comment of 'All versions of the S3 are "4G"'
I just started rooting and flashing and all that and finally found my msl because I was told you need that to edit your data profile. Now before I experiment with putting my phone on a straight talk plan, does anyone know if this is actually possible and if so does anyone know step for step how to do it? I've been looking for a few months how to do it but never found anything that sounded like it would guarantee anything without having a sim card. So it's either straight talk or an 800$ bill to pay with sprint. So any pointers would be really appreciated.

Um im pretty sure straight talk is gsm only.....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes its possible.. ST will actually walk you through what needs to be changed and edited to get it working on ST if i were you id do it with a verizon GNex for better service
Alright cool, thanks.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Also, do I only need to buy the service card or do I have to get a phone too?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
OK i don't why your listening to this guy... You cannot use a sprint nexus or a Verizon nexus on straight talk since they are CDMA phones..... straight talk uses T-Mobiles and ATTs network.. You will need a new phone

Straight talk does operate as both a CDMA and GSM MVNO. That being said, the average consumer is indeed going to be limited to their GSM offering.
It is possible to get on straight talk but it will not be an easy task. You will need a donor straight talk smart phone to flash over to the galaxy nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
So really it will just be a matter of changing all the id's like my ssid msid and all that to match up with the straight talk phone right? Because I've been under the impression that all you have to do is have your msl and edit your data profile to match the phone that has the service you're trying to get. I've just never heard of it being done with a sprint phone.... This idea sounds almost nightmarish all the sudden

I have flashed several sprint phones to virgin mobile. Its no easy task and requires software that's not easy to come by but it is possible. Check out a thread by autoprime on the subject.

Exactly what he said has to be flashed and basically you need a cheap ST smartphone to sacrifice

Guys, I want to buy a Verizon GN, then I have a question, and she is, what if the Verizon Galaxy Nexus comes unlocked to use LTE in other countries?

AT&T and tmobile phones will need to be SIM unlocked to be used on another gsm network.
