Hi!
I'm thinking of buying a Nexus 4 from a play store in Canada. My question is, does an unbranded Canadian Nexus work on European networks and sims?
Yes, nexus 4 is Quadriband and Sim Free.
I would like to buy a nexus 7 tablet with cellular data. I saw on google play device page there is a version for AT&T. I live in a different country. Device from at&t is compatible with my country network. I bought a Motorola Atrix 4G throught amazon.
If i buy from Google Play would the device be network locked to at&t? Should i buy from other place?
It is not a version specifically for AT&T. It is an unlocked GSM device. You can use it as long as you have a data plan for tablets or something similar.

Confirm. If you buy from Google Play it will not be locked to AT&T.
It's not sim locked, it just comes with a AT&T sim card, same goes to the T-Mobile version.

I can confirm this (least with a Nexus 4). The only difference between for example a Nexus 4 purchased from google directly and from T-Mobile is the higher price + Sim card, otherwise you can just pop in a new GSM sim card and it'll work. The same should be true of the Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 with 3G capabilities. (Google as I recall won't deal with carriers that wish to sim-lock their devices).
so basically there is no such thing as a locked nexus 7 2 gen + 4g (2013) ?
I'm looking for a nexus 7 2 gen 32gb + 4g and the seller stated that it's locked on t-mobile

I'm not sure about the nexus 7 but Google will allow simlocks what they will not allow carriers to do is lock the bootloader. The nexus range are first and foremost a developer range simlocks don't interfere with that but locked bootloader do.

I don't want to start a new thread for an old topic, so I'm recycling this one with the same basic question.
I have a chance to get a Nexus 7 2013 with LTE, but the seller claims that it is "locked to T-Mobile" and comes packaged with a T-Mo SIM.
I never thought these Nexus 7s were locked to any carrier. Has anyone here confirmed that these will work on other carriers, before I take the leap?
Have a Nexus 7 2nd gen, won't work with T-Mobile
I bought a used 2nd gen Nexus 7 which was sold as being unlocked, but it wouldn't sign in to T-Mobile's network. Their tech called support at ASUS who replied that the Nexus 7 can be locked by a particular carrier when it joins their network.
I did two full factory resets to no avail. My SIM works in my Chromebook but not in my tablet.
Hi.
I wanted to know if the Google Play Edition GS4 works on all 4 carriers?
Also does it have LTE on verizon?
Thanks.
Has the lte versions with simcard slots been discontinued?
Can't find any for sale on the Google store.
Were there problems with them?
Sorry. I found it. I didn't realize it was only available as a 32 g version.
I have an unlocked phone does anything work when putting in a Verizon sim in the phone? And what does work?
In theory the Nexus 4 could connect to Verizon's "XLTE" network which is band 4 (assuming you have a modded or older baseband flashed), but even if it did work it would work with data only as Verizon's 3G network is CDMA and the Nexus 4 does not support VoLTE nor CDMA. I do know my Nexus 4 can sometimes see Verizon when I search for networks, but I have never tried popping in a Verizon SIM.
