The Unlocked Global Version of the A7050 I bought is apparently incompatible with 4G/LTE in the US. Is there any way to make it compatible?
If the bands are incompatible then no

I have wondered does galaxy nexus lte network work in European? Because European model doesn't have lte network and has only 16gb of memory so I was thinking that I would buy nexus from Verizon if that lte network would work in Finland. Could someone smart tell me if it is possible thanks

Won't work. The frequencies are all different.
And here in Finland 4g is already working but I don't know does nexus support only Verizon network that isn't in here

The LTE version is CDMA/LTE. European carriers are all GSM. And to my knowledge, there aren't any big LTE networks yet being rolled out there...
So no, it won't work at all. Even if you got ahold of an LTE SIM from a local LTE carrier it wouldn't work with the frequencies in the Verizon device.
Okey thanks.. I will buy European model then

Verizon LTE model is using band 13 700mhz radio and it'd factory locked to Verizon. You guys are using 800mhz/2600mhz as far as I know so it will most definitely not work.
Just go for the HSPA+ version.

Alright :d
Does anyone know if the T-Mobile version will support the new 700mhz band?

Everything I've read is that it supports Band 17 of the 700mhz & Tmobile has Band 12 of the 700mhz spectrum. There's speculation that a software update could provide support down the road, but that's not a guarantee.

There are a few for sale on ebay, but I want to be sure they will function properly with AT&T service in the USA.
LTE bands are not compatible... it should however work with 3G

Thanks. I guess I better opt for a different tablet. Boo
Are there any custom roms that address the issue?

From the article
9 Band LTE
Penta-band 3g.
My guess is yes with a caveat.
1 - if the bootloader can be unlocked (AT&T is the only carrier so far)
And Verizon may offer their own version.

No, this phone will be using GSM technology, which is used by AT&T as well as all other carriers worldwide except for Verizon and Sprint, which both use CDMA. The two technologies are not interchangeable.

Bootloader unlocks have nothing to do with a carrier unlock.

not necessarily...
all the carriers use LTE (gsm standard) for the 4th-gen mobile network
Verizon uses bands 4, 13, fire phone supports bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20.. only band 4 support overlap ("XLTE" branded AWS spectrum....)
you'll get data on LTE, but not voice (until VoLTE is implemented 100% and your phone has VoLTE support... fire phone doesn't look like it has VoLTe support)
theoretically, you could put an activated Verizon LTE SIM and pray it'll work (like how people were able to put an activated sim into a Nexus 7 LTE and make it work before Verizon officially approved it)... Verizon could still block it via whitelisting IMEI numbers...
NO.
The MEID won't be in Verizon's database.
You definitely can't use it as a phone.
You might be able to use it as an LTE only tablet and use VOIP with something like Skype.
I am planning to buy an unlocked version of tab s 8.4. Now I am just wondering if it will work with AT&T and support its 4G network... Thanks in advance!

Just check the bands it supports.
If it supports the att band then it will work.
