Hi...I am planning to get a Nexus 7, 32gb, wifi+mobile data, unlocked model from US with the help of a friend. I just wanted to know whether
1)it will work with 3G sim of operators like Airtel/Vodafone/BSNL in India??
2)Whether the device will have international warranty so that i can get it repaired in India if something goes wrong?
Thank you..
I have Nexus 7, will any indian SIM work on it
I wanted to know if any Indian SIM will work on Nexus 7 3g.
Does anyone have an answer ? I am also planning to buy the Nexus 7 3G model too.
Will it work with ANY MICRO SIM ? or is it specific for DATA ONLY SIM CARDS ?
It should work..
And Asus have international warranty for most of the stuff they sold.
Beamed from my Grouper.

I still have a few questions though
- If i take a Sim card from the phone and insert into the Nexus, will i be able to use the Data features ? ( I know the Nexus is not enabled for Voice Calling or SMS by default )

Hello Guys,
I will receive my new Nexus7 today from US.
I have some points that I can clarify:
1). Yes it is a 3G device but does not support voice call only data is supported.
2). All Indian 3G sim cards will work (micro sims).
3). Though, sms can be used using sms apps like GOSMS Pro.
4). The device has a voice calling chip enabled but it is locked on the radio level and till now developers have not devised a way to unlock it or get it to work, you all can find lots of discussion on this on different user threads here on XDA.
not working in bsnl cellone
I own a nexus 7 in india originally shipped from us. The At&t sim works jus fine, with that my n7 detects APN and other things perfectly. But when my bsnl cellone Sim cut to the micro Sim size is inserted, it shows no service and there isn't any APN listed.
I tried the following
1. setting up APN manually. but n7 doesn't save the APN settings that I enter
2. choosing cellone network manually in the mobile networks section. but it says cannot connect to this network, try again later.
this is my experience I am trying other options but no progress so far. any suggestions?
I'm using n7 3g which was brought here in India by my cousin with tata docomo photon 3g sim cut to size. Everything rocks and blazing fast

After you enter APN settings, before going back you must click 3dot menu and click on save for it to save settings. Then go back and select that APN.
If you just go back, it wont save it.
I have 3 N7 in family for 3 members on Airtel, Vodafone and MTNL respectively. All working just fine with 3G.
Nexus 7 works fine on any 3g micro sim plus wifi.
I also received a voice call on my landline in US from India from the Nexus 7 through a google voice activated number (using grooveIP) and when the device was in the US in November of 2012 - could make voice calls to India through Vonage extensions
Just my two cents
I'm a smartphone noob [though slightly above-average with technology in general] - the Nexus 4 is my first smartphone, and I've been lurking here for a week looking for all possible solutions for my problem and none have worked, so please bear with the longish post:
Nexus 4 16GB, bought from the US Play store - using it since Monday, Dec 10. I'm using it with a Straight Talk AT&T SIM, and I have *no cellular data* whatsoever. I have been using the phone for a week now, and I haven't been able to use the internet except on wifi. No 3G/EDGE/HSPA+ logos next to the signal bars - in fact the signal bars always grey when wifi is off. I have only seen the signal bars turn blue when the wifi is on, never on a cellular network.
APN settings have been verified, and tens (yes, TENS) of Straight Talk reps have said my account seems to be provisioned correctly and good to go. I have tried all the alternative APN settings suggested for Straight Talk on various forums, including the two-APN configuration for MMS and data, deleting the data proxy from the APN settings, reverting to the default APN settings on the SIM and even using the Straight Talk T-Mobile APN [though I know for sure mine is an AT&T SIM because T-Mo doesn't cover my workplace, where I have good signal strength].
My old device was an AT&T locked dumbphone, so I couldn't change the APN settings on it to use the data on StraightTalk, but when I put my Straight Talk SIM in, it shows the 3G logo next to the signal bars suggesting that my StraightTalk account is probably provisioned correctly for data.
Hard reset, repeated reboots and repeated toggling of data and airplane modes have all been tried, and nothing has changed the situation. I have perfect voice and text messaging connectivity and zero data.
As a smartphone noob - is there a separate radio in the phone for data connections, and is it possible that this radio alone is a lemon on my phone? I *do not* have access to another micro-SIM, unfortunately - CDMA is popular in my town and the only two of my friends who have phones with removable SIMs probably won't appreciate having their regular SIMs cut down to micro for me to test. Without being able to test it, I don't know if I should just RMA it either.
***UPDATE*** : FIXED
I got a T-Mobile SIM to test the phone, and data worked perfectly well on that, so I concluded it probably wasn't the phone. T-Mobile wasn't an option for me though, because they have crappy reception in most of my town.
Happened to travel to Boston, tried my StraightTalk SIM in a friend's phone there - data worked fine then. So now I didn't know if it was the phone or the SIM.
After three weeks of grief and fighting, I got StraightTalk to send me a replacement SIM, which fixed the issue immediately - I had full HSPA data connectivity within five minutes of dialing their number to have my SIM activated.
Turn on Mobile data?
Have you enabled the 3G/mobile data switch built into android? Settings > Wireless & data > More > Mobile Networks > data Enabled Tick that if its unchecked, Im still waiting for mine but my HTC explorer running a vanila flavour of ICS has a similar settings menu, its somewhere along those lines bud, post back with results. As i said might be in a different location due to the differing OS versions
Good luck mate, Blewk
EDIT: Nevermind ive just opened my eyes and noticed you've tried it xD
so try calling this number *#*#4636#*#* and going through each of those settings (apart from LTE of course) see if any of them give you a Data connection. constantly checking the data switch on the phone at all times though making sure its enabled If this offers no luck im out of ideas for you mate

So what are your APN setting? Can't really trust CSRs since they aren't using a Nexus 4 to test themselves.

I've attached screenshots with the current settings, which are the ones the CSRs recommended.
I have also tried
deleting the proxy+port
changing both proxies to addressort format
changing the APN type to "default,supl,mms".
editing the SIM's default APN values to these, instead of creating a new APN.
and various combinations of these. None of these have helped. (I reboot and wait 30-45 minutes after every change in these settings).
EDIT: addressort is address(colon)port. Forgot to disable smilies.
Try changing your MMS Proxy to 66.209.11.33 see if that helps. Its the only difference I can see.

Thank you, I've tried that too. Since my other phone (without the correct APN) still shows the 3G logo next to the signal bars and the Nexus 4 doesn't show any data speed indications, is it safe to assume the issue is with the device and not the network?

Thanks. I was trying just that (saw the *#*#4636#*#* code on another forum), and none of the options work. I'm wondering if that means my radio is dead. I don't want that to be the case, but I can't think of another explanation
You appear to not have an APN type set up.

I think I have the same problem as the OP. In my case, the HSPA radio connects about 50% of the time after a reboot. In my case, I'm convinced that the loss of signal is attributed to failure to communicate with the SIM card.
For the OP: Are your signal bars grey? or is it just an outline of a triangle on its side? If it's just an outline, the phone sees the SIM card, but cant retrieve the necessary data. To confirm, install a SIM info app from the Play store and see if the app see all details of the sim card.
I have already replaced the sim card, assuming I had a defective SIM, but the new card has not resolved the issue.
At this point, I think I need to RMA my phone.

It looks like the SIM details are being seen - I have voice and texting capabilities, and my signal bars are present but grey. Sorry to hear about your phone - my data connection is out 100% of the time though.
I've ordered a T-Mobile SIM to check this out - this way I should be able to figure out whether it's the network or the SIM.
Update: I've tried a T-Mo SIM and it works perfectly. So it's not the device.
However T-Mo isn't actually a viable option for me because they have very limited coverage where I live. Straight Talk keep telling me their provisioning is okay - any way to check on this? What other issues could I possible have that might be causing this?

Are you sure you have AT&T 3G coverage near you? I looked on AT&T's map for my work place and it shows 3G coverage but the entire county only gets 2G EDGE. And EDGE is horribly slow, I can't download anything. Went to Wal-Mart there and went to the wireless store and they confirmed that there is no 3G coverage in the area except for Verizon (which I had before this phone). I have an app called Network Signal Info, it will tell you what type of data network you are connecting too even when on wifi. It tells me EDGE2 at work HSPA at home.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet&hl=en Network Signal Info
Edit: just wanted to add that I read somewhere in a thread here that the colors blue and gray only signify if you are connected to google services or not. Blue you're connected, gray you're not.

Dead sure - as I said in my original post, I put my SIM back in my old (locked) dumbphone and it shows the 3G logo - though I can't use data on that phone because I'm locked out of the APN settings. And colleagues at work with have HSPA+ on AT&T. I can't try their SIMs though, because they don't use micro-SIM.
As for signal bar colours - even if there is no Google connectivity, it should at least show me a 3G or H/H+ next to the signal bars, which doesn't happen - and I cannot access anything on the internet anyway. I tried actually accessing the internet via the browser and various apps, I'm not deciding my connectivity based on the bar colours.
ALSO: When I use *#*#4636#*#* to turn the radio off and then on again, "GPRS service" goes to "connecting" but eventually stops at "disconnected". And the "network type" in that menu says "HSPA", so it looks like the network is kicking me off though I can't for the life of me say why that's happening.

I'm constantly get this issue where the signal bar becomes just an outline every minute or so and I lose connection. When this is happening sms becomes erratic (I receive texts multiple times sometimes 20-30 minutes after it was first sent, texts are received in the wrong order, cannot send texts until i restart phone).
Possibly hardware issue?
I had the same problem... could connect to the wireless network only if wireless data was disabled or WIFI was on.
Ordered a replacement which came today, and all is good Seems to be a hardware issue.

I to am having the same problem connecting to data networks. I have had the nexus 4 for about 2 weeks and its been an amazing phone until this morning when I had no data connection in town and around town. My iPhone 4 has 3G connection in the same area, with the same sim card. Ive already looked around the net and found the post to reset the radio but nothing happened. After not having radio or data for about 2 hours my phone finally fixed its self. I have no clue why I lost data connection or how it fixed its self. I will stay posted to see what happens but maybe there is some bad hardware in the device that is just now starting to surface.???
Hi I appear to have the same problem. My phone is able to make calls/text and etc with data off but when data is turned back on it screws around, doesnt connect to the internet, grey outline on service and etc. I'm thinking this is an hardware issue but how would I go and exchange this. One more thing, I bought this brand new from someone, does that matter?

If you want to RMA your phone, you can transfer the ownership by calling Google Play support. You will need the device IMEI and the email address of the original purchaser. Just tell them the phone was gifted to you. After the ownership is transferred, you can begin the RMA process.

Wait... you put an AT&T sim in your phone? This is a Verizon forum. If I misunderstood, please tell me.
Just to be clear because you didn't state it in your post, you must unlock your phone prior to using a non-Verizon SIM. You can sometimes get these unlock codes from Verizon but you can also buy them online. I've used GSMLiberty.net with success before. After that, you should be able to pop in your SIM from the new carrier and begin using it right away. In some cases, you may need to manually add the correct APN for your carrier. Find these settings under Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access point names. Click the little plus icon in the top right and manually enter AT&T's APN information. You may need to Google that as I don't know AT&T's APN info.
I use my Verizon S5 on T-Mobile's networks with absolutely no issues, I assume it would be a similar experience for AT&T as well. For me, I put my T-Mobile SIM card in and could make calls and receive texts, but mobile data and MMS was not working properly until I manually added the correct APN information. After that, MMS, 4G LTE data and everything is working flawlessly.
You do not need an unlock code for a LTE Verizon phone. These phones are already unlocked. One must set the correct APN.
Do not buy an unlock code!
I have used my Verizon S5 with att and t-mobile.
Good luck.

Thank you for your posts. Most of the phone works. When I leave a wi-fi area my phone goes to emergency calls only. When I go back to a wi-fi area the normal call service works again.

Can someone Please help me figure out why I cannot get service on my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 when I'm traveling or specifically in India. I thought Verizon Note 3 is world unlocked out of the box!!! Am I wrong?
BACKGROUND:
I have successfully flashed my Verizon Note 3 to Boost Mobile so that means I used a Samsung Galaxy Prevail as my donor phone which means I changed the MEID # of my Note3. I have also successfully rooted the phone and have also installed Beanstown106 leaked version of KK 4.4.2 on the Phone with the latest Safestrap and it works fine as far as I can tell. I used the instructions from the following thread to flash my phone to Boost; just FYI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060085
QUESTION:
I try to insert the GSM SIM card for Vodafone carrier and it's unable to connect to network even though I added the correct APN settings. So does this have anything to do with me changing the MEID# on my Note 3, is this why it's not connecting to a network?
I kept getting the error message that "This SIM card is from an unknown source" So I disable the setup wizard 1.0 using nobloat app and it got rid of that message. I'm still unable to connect to a network?
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to fix it or can tell me what the problem is?
Or if there's anyone that has used the Verizon Note 3 overseas successfully that can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
purchase a local SIM from Airtel with a 1GB 3G package and 200 minutes of talktime for about 700 rupees ($10 or so)!!
When adding the new SIM you will see message "Non-Verizon SIM detected" but apart from that voice should work just great. Go into the APN settings the + now active and add in the new APN settings for Airtel. After you do this the internet will start working and you will be able to get H/H+ speeds there.
So yes, Verizon 4G LTE phones are truly unlocked for oversees use and you can just pop in a foreign SIM and go no worries...

Yes it may very well have to do with a IMEI change. I didnt think it was possible to change the imei.

So why would the Airtel SIM work and Vodafone will not? I don't get it they are both GSM carriers so why would one work and other one wont? Even though I fixed the APN settings for the Vodafone SIM.

That could easily cause you issues if your carrier can't understand the identification information your phone is providing the tower.
To be safe keep a log of what you have changed that way if it is worse you can know how to go back or what you have played with otherwise as with myself once time passes I completely forget all the details.

Help!! I just got the phone and i have 2 AT&T SIM cards installed only the sim that i select as preferred data sim gets data service. Second sim card only receives 2g cellular service. which is ok other than the following 2 things. MMS messages need data service to work correctly and 2g cellular service is horrible in my building at work. I have tried manually selecting network but only available option for secondary sim is 2g. also tried manually setting up a new APN but didn't seem to change anything. my data connectivity and cellular reception flip when changing preferred data sim . so i know its not a sim card issue
I am not rooted
os = 5.0.2

Do you have the option to set the preferred network type for both SIM cards separately?
It's under Settings > More (Under Wireless & networks) > Cellular network settings > Preferred Network Type
I only use 1 SIM so I can't see what additional options are available when you use two.

No preferred type is for both i have it selected to 4g/3g/2g i can select the network operators independently. once i search for network one sim gets 4/3/2g options and the second only get 2g as an option. AT&T and Tmobile are showing up
Hmm wish I knew more about this to help you out but I don't have any experience with running two SIM cards in a phone.
Have you used both of these SIM cards in another phone before and had them both work as intended simultaneously?
It could just be a limitation of the phone, maybe it can't have two separate 4G connections at once on the same network?
I'm just throwing ideas out there.

Well I am having a similar issue, I have a bell sim I would like to run as 2g and a koodo sim I would like to be the full 4g. The phone refuses dual active, only card selected for data connection functions; I can choose either, but only one functions at a time except for a couple minutes after switching via dual sim settings
---edit---
I forgot to mention, it activates during a call as well

The phone specs say it can only connect to a LTE/3G network on one SIM at only one time. The secondary SIM can only connect to 2G-GSM.

I forgot to mention, it activates during a call as well

Given the phone specs. Your connection problem is caused by neither Telus(Koodo) or Bell have a 2G network. Yeah so the phone is pretty much useless to Canadians if you want Bell/Telus/Wind/Videotron on the secondary SIM.
I have used my phone (same model) with two SIM's (ATT and T-Mobile). You can enable data only on a device at a time, but it can be on any of the two SIM's. This is mentioned in the phone specs.

Scroll down to the end note.
Other phones cannot even activate the 4G on the secondary SIM.
It's a little confusing maybe to switch the data, but it can be done - from Android settings.
Ahh, well its still a sweet phone; manually switching isn't a big deal
