VZW? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

will this get to vzw

I hope so i've been waiting for this....

I suppose eventually it will migrate to other carriers, like the GNex did, started off at one carrier, spread to 1 more but that's it. Let's hope it hits all carriers by the end of the year.

I had some money sitting the side for this and now its nto coming to verizon. ON the verge they had a interview and they said they wanted it available on all networks yet Verizon is left out. Im almost about to just go get a surface or nexus 10 but i might wait and see.

Sadly, this won't be making it to Verizon. The phone doesn't have an LTE radio in it nor does google want to spend the money to build a device for Big Red just for them to lock it down, add bloat, and approve updates.

Google is done with CDMA carrier. GSM from here on out. No more waiting months for the latest update on vzw and sprint.

Any US carrier getting it?

have they announced what us carrier its comming to officialy?
ive heard at&t and ive heard T-mobile...
i would say probably none. but i did just see a video from CITA that has a rep saying "we haven't officially named any US partnership" which could mean nothing.. but who knows..
either way i'll be getting the phone and using it on ATT
can't wait till ROGERS has the phone. it'll be easier to get one online once they do
It will be announced by one of the companies 1 year after its release... as usual.
I've seen a few videos online that show the X10 with AT&T branding on the home screen.
With the way AT&T is going with Android, they'll need some time to lock down the OS and make it as non-open as possible.

What are you talking about?
One version supports AWS 1700 (WCDMA-IV), a specific T-Mobile US band (+ a Canadian provider) - it's not too far fetched to see TMO picking it up as soon as possible...
You think maybe he was poking a little fun at the carriers mostly slow release schedule? Relax man, aint nothing going on here worth getting worked up over.

ditto.
again. even if it is picked up. it'll probably be long after the phone has lost interest.. at least here in US
ATT
I was told by the manager of the ATT in Honolulu Wednesday that they wil be getting it very soon( could be bull**** as I do not know him personally) but there was a couple of operator issues to be worked out. He figured that it was about 30-45 days out. Roger Wireless Canada is already showing the phone on their website which usually means that it will be available withing 30 days from them.
What operator issue? Anyone who has used a Rogers HTC Android on AT&T knows that as long as the APN is known, everything works. Ditto with the Nexus One.
Operator issue is code word for: Lets bloat it up with useless software like the Motorola Backflip.
I would rather pay more for the phone rather than having a subsidy.

I had also seen videos and pics of the X1 with AT&T panels... but that didn't happen. Eitherway, I'd prefer for the X10 NOT to be released on AT&T and to be sold directly through Sony Style (with the prerequisite ATT 3G bands of course), that way I can continue using my $10 unlimited data plan instead of the mandatory $30 PDA data plan with smartphones sold through ATT.

[Q] Are you leaving Tmobile

Are you leaving tmobile? if so where are you going?
Vote in the poll above
Not leaving. I am staying with t-mo (soon to be att)
I spoke to t-mobile Customer service. The rep said the merger will honor present contracts for t-mobile customers beyond att takeover.
Sprint no etf have a T-Mobile out of contract plan. My friend has sprint as well he's going to add a line for me probably going to get evo 3d or maybe atrix since I want take a shot at cracking the bootloader.

I will be jumping ship if/when AT&T takes over, unless AT&T shows they will be better in all aspects of their business practices! (I doubt it will be)
It will be either Sprint, Boost or Cricket maybe Virgin Mobile for us.
This just really blows!
Im going to wait it out and see what AT&T does to T-Mobile, then i might switch to sprint if i dont like it
Does anyone know what the Sprint Android phone has the most development behind it
I'm assuming the HTC EVO but i wanted to here someone elses input
Well, I already have a secondary account with Sprint and a tertiary account with Verizon. Basically, T-Mo will go and everyone else will move up one spot... Damn, this sucks!
Damn... I truly don't know where to go as I swap phones pretty much weekly and most of those carriers aren't exactly SIM friendly.
Not going anywhere, I'll just wait & see in about 12 months where merger & everything stands.
This sucks Att taking over I ll wait and see then make a decision.
I already have a Thunderbolt on the way.

I switched to Verizon iPhone this weekend after seeing this a week ago.
Going to AT&T. WAIT! I am already with AT&T..lol
I just got to T-Mobile 5 months ago.
I had Alltel, they got bought by Verizon and Verizon shut down 1/2 the towers in my area.
Sprint, No service in my home and spotty every where else.
Was looking at Centennial Wireless at one point, but AT&T bought them.
So I really don't know what I will do, just sit and wait and HOPE that the buy out gets denied.
No, hopefully they will honor my 2 year contract that started on November 2010. Then after when my contract ends I hope they let me keep my plan, with that I'd just buy unlocked phones. Unless they make me sign up for a new 2 year contract with them with their plan/rates.
Im done with Tmobile I will be selling my dash, G1 and G2(maybe) this month. I can already see the data hikes coming. ATT is the company I always suggested people to stay away from now its forced on me! lol Sorry TMO fans I'm done even if I stay in this 2yrs contract Im out.
well, my contract ends in november, and since by then it won't be a year yet, i will probably renew to get a new phone, if after the merge happens, and im not liking it, 2 things can happen:
if they keep my contract as is and not change it till i have to renew again, ill keep the contract till i have to renew and jump ship.
if they give us 30 days during the merge to jump ship because they WILL make changes to the contract no matter what, i'm jumping ship.
Either way, the only thing that sucks is im not sure which carrier to go to next. Sprint's 4G connection sucks in miami, my friend has an Epic 4G and my 3G speed is faster than his 4G speed. Verizon has awesome speeds with 4G LTE but im not sure if i'll like verizon much, my mom had them before and they had really bad customer service. So we'll see.
I'll probably just get a messenger pigeon.
This deal is not bad, so stop complaining enjoy the family of AT&T users...HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Heading to Sprint.

Of course they will honor the present contracts beyond the AT&T takeover. Where they will get you is when you go to upgrade. They will tell you that you can only upgrade if you switch over to an AT&T plan, which of course will be more expensive. They did this to Cingular users when they went in together.
My personal opinion, I highly doubt the merger will happen BUT if it does I'll wait to see what they have to offer when my contract expires. Ive been with t-mobile for almost 10 years and have a family plan with 7 phones. Their lose our gain if they piss me off.

Truth! I was a Cingular customer when that happened! I was so pissed and it's why im so pissed now. If we want to get a 4G LTE phone in the future, we will definitely lose our unlimited data plan.

Leaving T-Mo???

Well... since my favorite cell provider (T-Mobile) will be bought out by AT&T (junk), I will be switching to Sprint in July. I will be getting the HTC EVO 4G 3D.
Anyone else making the switch?

ATT did not buy T-Mobile. They have agreed to buy them, the DOJ and the FCC still have to approve the transaction. Which will be atleast a year down the road. But hey i guess if you're going to jump on the Sprint band wagon you might as well want to make the most of it.
By the way good luck talking to their CS reps. They know as much English as my 16mth old daughter.
We already did

I just came from Sprint about 2 months ago. I left because data here had become so slow, i am talking 47 kbps slow. But they are flipping the switch all over Wisconsin on 4G, and I miss my EvO 4G so much, I have to go back (and get the EvO 3D).
Day its released, day I have a mt4g for sale..
Sprint reps are ok. Don't know why everyone has a issue...

Sprint? Sprint is not a GSM provider. Many (if not most) people use T-Mobile and AT&T specifically because these are GSM providers. If T-Mobile gets acquired, AT&T will remain the only option.
I can't imagine someone knowingly switching from GSM to CDMA.
personally just left sprint. always had dropped calls, bad signal, and in order for them to fix my phone i would be charged an extra 10 a month for data that i was already paying for. if anything do the jump to verizon, only one worth going to.
I live in Miami so any cell pgone provider would be ok. They all have good service here.
I used to have AT&T a few years back and also verizon. AT&T ripped me off with charges. Verizon was great but a bit pricey. I have not been in Sprint yet tho. My brother is with them and he is very happy.
Lets see what happens in July and I decide to switch.
The EVO 3D looks really nice amd the specs are awesome. I am already missing my MT4G. The best phone I've had so far.

I couldn't have said it better my friend.
I would switch from Tmobiles GSM to Verizons CDMA if they werent so expensive. They have WAY better coverage in my area. They also seem to have better coverage in the more "boonies" type areas near here.
Most people couldn't give a damn about GSM or CDMA. Hell, you try to explain to them why they can't use a CDMA phone on a GSM network and they look at you like you have two heads. That being said, there's no way in hell I'll allow myself to use AT&T after the bull**** I just went through as an employee and a customer. Verizon is out because of the changes they just implemented re: warranty swaps. For those who haven't heard, if you have a warranty issue with your phone, Verizon plans to charge you $150 to replace it, if you have the slightest of cosmetic blemishes on your device. Volume buttons down work but you have a worn spot on your battery cover from the phone being in your pocket? $150. Screw that.
So yes, Sprint's data is slower, but in my area T-Mobile has a ton of dropped calls, bad call quality, and when I go into a large building (My office, a target, Costco, etc) I get no signal whatsoever. I'm going to try to hold off for the decision on the merger, but I might jump ship when the EVO 3D comes out.
Edit: Also, $50 for unlimited data, text, any cell call, and 500 minutes is a LOT better than the $70 I'm paying for 1000 minutes on the EM+ plan. Not complaining about T-Mo's pricing, just saying it's an option.

I would do it.
If my options are Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint...Sprint it is. CDMA or not, unlimited data plans should be unlimited. AT&T already has tiers, and Verizon is expected to adopt a similar system this summer. Would be nice if we t-mobile customers were grandfathered in, but doubt that will happen under AT&T. Will have to wait and see.

I am well aware of the differences beween GSM and CDMA. I know how the work and specs of it. But since I am not planning to move from the US, not I travel outside of it, it doesnt matter.
Right now, AT&T has the most expensive plans and they have a cap on data.
Sprint is the only one with a better pricing and unlimited cell and data coverage ( though I know is a little slower than Verizon's).
I recently read an article stating that tmobile and sprint offer faster 3g for smarphones vs dumbphone data, so it seems like sprint and tmobile may be priortizing there customer needs.. plus I heard a rumor that google may purchase sprint someday.. how awesome would that be.. I like gsm cause its world wide but so is wifi and my phone has that so nbd.. unlimited and still cheaper then the comp. If I'm browsing on my phone ill be using wifi anyhow.. as far as 4g goes pretty sure sprint is switching to lte soon and a law just passed forcing verizon and att to allow lte data roaming to smaller competitors.

As far as traveling with GSM phones no big deal I buy a cheap phone that make sure works there and buy their sim card and good to go and for curtsey I leave the phone to some of the relatives lol.

I don't understand why people don't realize that nothing has happened yet and probably won't still for some time, there's no urgency to switch. I want to wait and try to get a rockin' phone in a little while when the buyout gets closer to reality. I spoke with a T-Mobile representative about it the other day and he said that most likely T-Mobile would still go by the T-Mobile name but would operate under AT&T. The only real thing that would happen is we would switch to AT&T frequencies cause they'd buy all our towers. Seems like it could only lead to better coverage, don't you think? Sprint seems too hit-or-miss for me anyway...
AT&T can't ruin T-Mobile overnight
From what I've read AT&T won't be able to repurpose any of T-Mobile's existing network for at least two years after the sale is finalized. They have also committed to honoring the contracts of existing T-Mobile customers. If the sale goes through, it should have no meaningful on your service at least through the length of any contract with T-Mo. I'm on prepaid, though, so who knows what will happen to my service.
Also, please wait and upgrade to the HTC Sensation before you brashly decide to cancel your contract and switch carriers so that I can buy it from one of you (preferably for pennies on the dollar, buyers market).
The merger wont happen rightaway its gonna be at least 2-3 yrs before we see changes,whats so hard to understand that either way is a win win for us Tmo customers,if the merger passes we have access to all at&t cell towers & if it dnt pass we still gonna have access to all those at&t cell towers... We will get grandfathered in cause they not gonna cut the customers short & if that dnt happened we still good at&t will change their plans & pricing,with all these new customers goin in to at&t,they not gonna stay ****ty forever...

Nexus 4 CDMA.. Did Google abandon us ?

I'm really disappointed with Google regarding the Nexus 4 announcement. I have Sprint service and up until now Sprint was very tight w Google and got the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus.
Now with the latest Nexus 4 announcement Google basically told all CDMA customers to f*** off.
So what are our options if your not on GSM and want pure android. Are we forced to buy a GS3 or other phone and root w(CM10) ?
I'm confused by their approach and leaving out so many people who want the AOSP experience and Nexus phones.
What do you CDMA customers plan to do ?
Don't want to offend you but theres quite a few people outside the US, maybe it's not worth for them anymore
Same boat...
I'm in the same boat. Honestly though, I've largely had it with Sprint and while I've been with them for over 10 years, the quality of the service has declined a great deal in the past 6 months. 3G data is slow and here in San Diego, WiMax was a failure. LTE is promised but has yet to be launched, so the jury is out and it could be 2014 before it's where I live on the coast.
I'm not going to Verizon, but thinking hard on prepaid, to the point of buying the Nexus 4 next month for a few weeks of trialing (T-Mo?) while keeping my OG Evo with Sprint. If things pan out, I might save some money and have a serviceable smartphone.
They don't at least dont with verizon because of a CDMA band that causes verizon to check every update that comes through. They basically arent doing what apple & microsoft to come extent do. They just haven't bothered.
GSM IS more popular, besides the CDMA carriers are more pricey(Yes that means you Big Red).
I doubt the CDMA call will go unanswered. Just give it more time.

Well it was more like Google telling Verizon to f*** off, and Verizon not caring about their customers enough to work a deal with Google and bring the device.
Don't like how Verizon operates? Leave them.

Sprint was NOT really tight with Google on their Nexus phones in my opinion. Sprint got the Nexus-S in May 2011, when it was first released to T-Mobile and worldwide in December 2010. Same with the Galaxy Nexus, Sprint got it April 2012, where as the GSM version was released in November 2011, and Verizon December 2011.
If Sprint was Google's best buddy, why have the Nexus phones been delayed like 6 months after release to Sprint ?
I can't really blame google here for the CMDA issue.
Basically google is giving Verizon the middle finger (and rightly so for the way Verizon handled updates)
It's one device...I bet you will see another cdma nexus in the future..calm down

I am so glad I just got out of Sprint.
Currently on T-mobile right now, and having actual 3G makes phone so much faster.
I think you should read the very good articles from theverge.com. They explained why there is no LTE and comments on CDMA.
In my opinion, Google's decision to not release CDMA version will benefit us all.
Google's plan is giving out pure google experience to many people and Verizon so far has been not co-operating well.
Seeing how long it took to have Jellybean reached to Verizon's Nexus device, it resulted bad rep to both Android and Google.
If this Nexus become a success, Verizon my bend to Google's will and deliver the pure google experience.
Also making CDMA version would mean having LTE chip, which will cause fragmentation among Nexus phones.
This will increase the cost for production and maintenance.
They could increase the price of the phone like iPhone and make all variants but I would say it is better to keep the price low so more people can buy it.
Sacrificing Verizon and Sprint customers for the better.
I somewhat get how some of you say Google is giving VZW the big middle finger - especially with the long delays they cause for updates and the ping-pong with Wallet.
I say the real test is if Google scales back the Motorola/VZW love-fest. Moto is so far up VZW's hoo hoo I don't think they can see any light. They release multiple phones on VZW and have a single, US GSM phone that's not terrible, but I don't see it destroying the market either...
I'd personally on some levels love to see Google let Moto fail a terrible, horrible, destructive death and quietly take the patents and run with them like they intended. On another level, I'd love to see Google purchase Tmobile, raise up Moto as a real phone maker again, and have a perfectly, vertically integrated system. Man, that'd be sweet.
haha, verizon and their CDMA network is not the centre of the universe. hardly even close.

I completely agree, verizon has been terrible to google since google started the nexus line, verizon just fights google about google wallet ever since they tried to release it. Verizon was the best...now there are the worst, they just think they're the best. I'm a verizon customer and I can't wait to switch but i can't for awhile. >:l but i still think Google should have developed a CDMA model for samsung, i would love to switch to their unlimited data plan.
CDMA is an end of the road/dead technology abandoned by its developers and development body (i.e Qualcomm and 3GPP2). It also used in very few places (a few providers in North American and worldwide).
IMO Sprint/Verizon/etc are at fault for not implementing VoLTE to get rid of the frankenCDMA stopgap called eHRPD. That way they can sell are pure LTE device and not have to deal with the complexities of circuit switched fallback to CDMA (which is much more complex than for UMTS).
So I'm not surprised, its a terrible mess for CDMAs transition to 3G until they finally get rid of their CDMA network and go to pure LTE.
As someone on Sprint who is about to experience LTE entering my market, I will be thrilled to transition away from these ****e 3G speeds. In the next 6 months I look forward to the fruits of that SoftBank+Sprint deal, as well.
As far as the CDMA versions of this phone are concerned, it seems safe to assume that Sprint's version will be released in a similar manner as with the previous two Nexus devices. I cannot speak for Verizon. I also feel that the gap between GSM and CDMA releases for the Nexus 4 will only be good for the maturity of the CDMA version of the handset.
An interesting aside: I wonder if the SoftBank+Sprint deal that enabled Sprint to take majority ownership of Clearwire means that Sprint will change strategy and put WiMax radios back into new devices? Then there would be a 3G+LTE radio, a WiFI radio and a WiMax Radio (Or it would be a combined WiFi+WiMax radio that switched between the two states).
Sorry guys, but now that Sprint has the iPhone, I doubt they give a flying f*** about Nexus devices. And outside the US, how many people are actually on a CDMA carrier? Not many. GSM is the Global Standard, so it would make sense for Google to market the device unlocked for GSM making it available to the majority of wireless consumers. Plus, if enough people gripe about it to Sprint and Verizon they might fold into the accords of Google.

Aside from the Nexus One, the Nexus devices haven't been very attractive. But the Nexus 4 is sexy as all hell and cheap too. That's why us Nexus users are pissed. :\
WiMax will not be returning. It just won't, it doesn't make sense.
Sprint also has to sell a certain number of iPhones to satisfy their agreement with Apple. I'm surprised they're even carrying the LGOG.
CDMA was a bad choice over GSM a long time ago. GSM is also on the way out, but it's still the global standard and has great interoperability, which LTE does not and may never have.

No one has a fix?
I called the sprint store and the guy said lots of these new S10 series phones have connectivity issues.
He said their tech has a fix for it but it may not be effective. He said Samsung needs to release an update to fix it.

I used to believe in this statement.. But when I walk around with a phone from Verizon (business), Srint (Personal) and AT&T hotspot service, I realized this is very not true.
There are locations where each carrier is stronger than others. At one of my job site, Verizon and AT&T fail to connect at all constant roaming and drop calls while Sprint skips along like no body cares.
Point, additionally, as each carrier acquire and deploy new bands, they need to be built out so the newer devices that support the bands can utlize it relieving the crowded older bands.
HOWEVER, this stupid phone, with SignalCheck Pro installed, I can see the bands I'm on but the signal stregnth is horrible, like at the moment, i'm connected to band 41 but LTE is at -117dBm, that's almost like not having signal at all. Likewise when I'm connected to band 25 and 26.
I tried disabling all those bands and force it onto the lower frequency with hardly any success.

and yes the program can be uninstalled, but it was only installed because I need to troubleshoot this issue, so it's not the program that's causing the problem. It's just telling me what band I'm on and the signal.

Anyone else on Sprint with the S10?
Note 8, and S8+ works fine. My S10+ is getting 1x and when I'm on the road, it would come in and out all day long. Without WiFi the phone is almost useless.

It's not just you. There are multiple threads on Sprint's forums with users complaining. My phone constantly roams, the WiFi calling keeps timing out on location and though it says LTE most of the time data doesn't work. Lucky for me I keep a spare phone so I'll be switching back to my iPhone X until they resolve this but there's been no official word on any of this getting resolved so I'm not expecting a solution any time soon. I'm wondering if it was the update I installed that caused this because it seemed like day 1 the phone was ok. Maybe a solution is to use Odin and flash back to the original stock.

They had me reset network settings which I did and it didn't help. They're sending me a replacement phone... Once I get it I'll prevent the Samsung update and see if that helps. Idk I really wanted to like this phone.

Strange I get signal better than I did on my note 9
Do you guys have a Sprint phone or the unlocked version from factory? I have the factory unlocked version, could it be it? The sprint guy @ the store said they sold a few s10's and no one has come back *****ing yet

I have the sprint version purchased from S
Spent an hour with samsung to no resolution. Took my verizon sim and dropped it on the S10 and the phone was getting good signal and speed then dropped for a couple minutes then back to good speeds. But as it's doing this, the phone started to get very warm. Sprint tech support doesn't know crap, just make me repeat their written process multiple times and the guys at the sprint stores are just salesman.
Since the verizon seems shows intermitten connections as well, i'm going to see if samsung can send me a replacement.
