Since yesterday I am loosing 3g connectivity when my tab lock it self, when I unlock it it says insert SIM. Only way to get it working is to eject the sim and reinserting it, not even rebooting helps. Anyone knows what could be the problem. I have the v, model.

Sounds like a problem with either the SIM card, or the SIM slot.
Have you tried with a different SIM?
I currently have a Xoom tablet with a data plan and figured it be nice to have an LTE USB modem as well. Just curious, but has anyone tried moving the LTE SIM back-and-forth between these two devices?
I don't even know if USB modems have a user-accessible SIM though (don't own one yet).
Any thoughts?

depdends on the class of sim cards...
example...
if its a 3g sim..
should genereally work for all 3g devices,,,
Some of the LTE USB Dongles I took a look at have User Accessible SIM Cards. So, they should fit right in. Also, I don't think you'd have and problems since both are only using data.
Just do some shopping and find yourself a nice USB Dongle that allows you to access and change the SIM card.

Verizons LTE SIM cards will be LTE only since they don't have any pre-LTE GSM networks.

I switch SIMs all the time between my LTE Xoom, my Novatel 4501 USB stick, and my HTC Thunderbolt. One SIM has a much larger data plan on it than the other and I use it in my USB stick when I'm away from home and need the data (or I just tether out of my Xoom- VZ didn't restrict that in the SW).
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.

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
Hi, i recently buy an used nexus 4 in ebay, simply for nostalgia, so, i´m in Mexico, the nexus 4 that i had 3 year ago, was unlocked, so, i supose this too, when arrive, i connect to wifi immediately without any sim inside, the cellphone request for one upgrade, i accept, after that, i put my sim from Virgin Mobile and the nexus only showed " no simcard inside, only emergency calls.... y try with other carrier, weex mexico (virgin and weex work in Movistar, they are OMV) and the same all.... finally y put a sim from at&t mexico, nothing... with the sim (att) inside, i downgrade to android 4.4.4, when woke up, the nexus 4 with the same result, No simcard, so, the cellphone wasn´t detecting any simcard, after that, it request for the next upgrade, lollipop 5.0.1 that i accept, but in this chance, the nexus with the simcard from ATT showing signal¡¡¡¡¡ the cellphone was working at 100%, i made a couple calls, without problems.
But, i try with the other 2 simcards, and it doesnt detecting, simply show again No simcard, emergency only, so i switch back my Att sim and this is detecting without problems....
I install a rom named Pure Nexus, waiting for work, but the same, only with ATT simcard work, so i downgrade again to 4.4.4 but in this chance with other simcard differnt from AT&T, Virgin mobile.... but nothing, nexus 4 is not detecting any other simcard than at&t¡¡¡¡¡¡
What can i try? could be a nexus 4 locked only for one carrier or what? in google dont appear in blacklist, the imei is good nor corrupted... could be the sim holding?
try going back to stock using the nexus 4 toolkit,then root, and try one of the hybrid models LTE enabler or download the 107-3, if that doesnt work also, then it might be defective.

use this to go back to stock
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
you will get android 5.1.1, you can also install custom recovery and root using it.
then if the sims doesnt work, change the modem using the LTE Enabler you can get it from the Play Store.
it has the modem until version 104-33, but im using another one the 107-33 that i got from
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B77BTW0zStYCZmpPR0xTaWE5OUU
104 33 and 107 33 are hybrid modems, but you can also install stock modems,
the modem is the one that allows you to make calls and use the data channel in your phone
hope that makes sense, let me know how it goes. regards.

well, i flash EnableNexus4LTE.zip and LTEhybrid33-84 without good news, i have the same issue, only at&t mexico sim is detected and the others no, well, i´m now with 4G LTE but only working in at&t
i don´t know what other things trying in the nexus, seem like only prefer at&t sim and no one else.
Adding information, i have sims from cricket USA and t-mobile USA, i know is not supported in México, but it will be for try to get something like: Sim not activated... or invalid sim, but other different from my nightmare: NO sim, please insert....
SOLVE:
I´ll auto answer... after a lot off attempts, i found the problem is the sim reader, like i posted before, only working with at&t Mexico sim, so, I watch the thickness of this was little bit smaller than others, my "strategy" was try to imitate the fact that at&t sim is making contact gently on pins, i take a 3in1 simcard, and i put the nano sim in micro sim adapter (included in the sim) but not in all (i don know exactly the words in english), so by this waya the nano sim standing on a little bit from microsim adapter.
when i insert the sim by this way an my nexus, and turn on, the cellphone recognize inmediatly the sim, so i found the key of this problem, like i said, the problem here is the sim reader, because, a normal and good sim reader not need this tricks to get signal.......

I glad its working now, you can stay on 5.1.1 with the hybrid modem if you got the 4G signal, or return to 4.4.4 if you want. regards.

i just sintall LTEhybrid33-84 and EnableNexus4LTE with TWRP custome recovery, but apparently without any 4G signal, in the menu mobile networks only i can choose 2G & 3G.... but the baseband does change.....
so, i use the trick hidden menu with *#*#4636#*#* and i choose LTE only, only with this my nexus 4 has 4G signal¡¡¡¡¡¡ but, if i come back to mobile networks, again only i can see 2g and 3g and the little 4G on top disappear.... so i need to come back again to hidden menu....
conclusion, mobile networks menu it will prohibited for me :silly:

you should be able to select "LTE/GSM Auto" that way the phone will switch to GSM when needed.
and the option is only visible under *#*#4636#*#* menu, also, we have to switch to LTE/GSM auto, if the phone is restarted. there is a way to make it persistent, but I haven't tried. i'm fine with it since i don't restart the phone too often.
hope this helps, regards.
