About to buy a new nexus for Christmas and will be flashing quite a few custom ROMs but which is best for custom ROM choice, the 3G version or the WiFi version?
Perhaps this is an irrelevant question, as the ROMs can be installed on either model?
Wish somebody would tell me, as I don't want get the 3G and regret it.
Cheers

3G ROM will need to have 3G build... So a lot of the stuff dominating this forum won't work properly ... It will get more support as more units get out there I guess but right now it's slim pickings
all roms work with wifi version and for 3g some work ,some not but it will change soon because developers will update their rom to work and on 3G

Thanks both of your for your comments.
In the end, I ordered a 32 gb WiFi only model as it guarantees good custom ROM support from day one and I can always tether to my phone if I need to.

Hi guys
Just want to know which radio are you guys using. I'm using KD1. Anyone done any testing to see whether this is the best for Australia or a previous version such as kb3.
I know for my x10 there are regional updates for basebands. Is this the case for the nexus S
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I too would like to know more info about radios. I'm currently on kb3 and it seems sufficient. I get GPS lock in 10 seconds so reasonably happy.

Tested with Kb3 and Kd1, both same, not much difference as Vodafone network is still upgrade in progress. I guess, KD1 is mre effective for UK
I'm on optus and just want to check is it my plan / location
My hsdpais pretty much non existant for the last month or 2

Stock rom doesn't show the H sign. Only custom roms do that. Maybe it's a carrier issue?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I think mostly in AUstralia, we get less "H", I not sure why, gotta ask them
Oh I'm using superaosp.. best rom... so that's not because of stock rom that I don't see h
Funny when I first got the planing on now I see h very often

I'm also with vodafail. Using speedtest, I get better download with the new radio KD1 and upload speed was relatively the same in comparison with KB3
Just about to order a nexus 7 and looking for advice on getting either the WiFi or 3G version.
I would like the 3G version but am concerned that there seems to be hardly any custom ROMs for it. Have I missed something here, as in, can custom ROMs for the WiFi version be flashed on to the 3G version as well?
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks

7inch is too big to take it out
Is a 3G nexus a bad choice for custom ROMs?
Thanks guys. My main concern is that if I get the 3G version there will be very few custom ROMs available when compared to the WiFi version.
Can anyone confirm what the range of custom ROMs available is for the 3G version please?
Cheers

Since the Wifi version has been out longer and there's only 1 for the 3G, wifi is going to be your best bet.
Here's the only 3G version that's out:

I'm planning to buy a nexus 7 for flashing purposes. Does both Wi-Fi and 3g versions flashes same kernel and roms?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
Yes and no. They are different devices and, as such, the roms are going to be slightly different between grouper and tilapia. As for kernels, I can't speak as to what's compatible with tilapia or not. Your overall best best is going to be reading up in the dev forum for the 3G to get an idea of what's available.

Suggest which version to buy with reasons. I'll die if I don't get developer support later
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
If you simply took a look in the dev threads yourself you would see how many options they each have. Its a good idea to look at the 1st post in the threads as some of the WiFi ones also say they support 3g.

Okay.
You should buy whichever version that YOU feel, after careful evaluation, will fit your individual needs and circumstances better. I would strongly advise, if dev support is your key requirement, to peruse the dev subforums to get an idea of what the individual dev scenes for both devices look like. In the end, it is you that will be the one using it, not any of us. Each person has their own reasons for picking one poor the other. The bottom line I'd that it's a decision that only you can make for yourself.
That being said, the one and only reason I'd recommend Tilapia over Grouper is if you require 3G connectivity. Its not as if the dev scene for either device is lacking. They are Nexus devices, after all.

So Wi-Fi over 3g in terms of development?

Ignore the first one as that is wifi..
Battery life, seems good to me so far, varies on each build of the custom ROM, as in gets better each time. I get a full day easily.

The second one is WiFi quick.
Once coverage spreads and the price drops by at least 50% I'll have some 4G but until then? Thanks to all the early adopters :good:
yeah it is stupid have 4g now on EE..

Bro, could you please let this be a global 4G LTE thread? It would be nice to see how everyone speed differ around the world right? Many people have global devices that can work on many different countries LTE network.
Anyways, if you choose to do so please change the thread title
Oh, global 3G speed tests wouldn't be bad either.
Thanks in advance

I've been really impressed with speeds across north west. See shots below. I'm in between Preston & Blackpool still awaiting official 4g swith on but can still get decent speeds.
