So I purchased the phone 2 weeks after it came out and I'm looking to sell right now just to downgrade. Can this phone be used for Tmobile 3g or just ATT?
That depends on whether you bought the T-Mobile version of the Nexus One or the AT&T version. Being that you bought it, you should know which one you bought.

judging by the "..or just.." you have an AT&T N1 which can not work on T-Mobile 3G but does support Edge.
Its the unsubsidized version.
No, which one did you buy? You can get unsubsidized for either one of the 3G bands.
You mention 2 weeks after it came out, last month when the AT&T one came out? Or in January when the T-Mobile one came out?
If you bought it in January, then the 3G only works on T-Mobile, it won't work on AT&T.
No, I meant 2 weeks after the first initial release. I assume it would work w/ Tmobile since now you can choose between two different versions of the phone. When I purchased it, I had no choice then.

If you purchased a Nexus One in January, you have a T-Mobile 3G Nexus One.
If you put an AT&T sim card in it, it will work on AT&T but only on 2G.
/end of thread
Yeah, when you purchased it you had no choice for 3G, you had to use it on T-Mobile for the 3G to work. So you bought the T-Mobile version. The AT&T version didn't come out until last month.
If you have been using it on AT&T you have only been using the slow 2G data.
So now when selling it, you need to tell the buyer it will be very slow unless they use it on T-Mobile.
i have had the verizon s3 work in global mode dge only tmobile
ive had the verizon s4 work in global mode hspda+ tmobile and att h+
ive had the verizon note 3 work in global mode on tmobile and h2o aka att mvno
all have had good and bad imei with verizon didnt seem to stop them from working altho 1 out of the 5 or so s4 phones just wouldnt get signal had to force wcdma mode we never did figure out just what was wrong with it as i switched over to h2o and it wasnt doing that issue anymore
since then ive kept my h2o att mvno simcard
been using 2 verizon s5 phones mine bad imei verizon after got on craigslist
and my wifes intentionally known was bad but bought anyways since we knew the darn thing would get signal on our h2o
now.... i got sick of my s5 and wanted to go back to note3
so i got a note3 happy happy joy joy and i was about to sell my s5 to a friend who knows the circumstances and was going to use it on tmobile
when we turn the s5 on verizon onn with tmobile sim it displays tmobile for 2 secs and then no signal ?!?!??!?! insert my h2o simcard wha la everything is perfect
im afraid its being blocked from tmobile use altho my friend has a in contract sim account and ive read that maybe it needs to be used with a month 2 month tmobile sim but i dont have any clue as to if this is true seems nonesense that an account type would matter insert friends sim in 4 other s5's idk if all of the ones he tryed were all bad imei tho or not but he said he hasnt had any luck trying to find a s5 its the reason i offered mine in the first place
im stumped is verizon sharing imei with tmobile do i need to worry about h2o not working later
been using this devices since aug just fine on h2o and still works on h2o just fine but tmobile doesnt seem to work apn or not global mode or any other mode
i havnt tryed phone info samsung and the secret code menu to force a specific band only but im thinking it still wouldnt work
long story short i see tons of people saying it wont work bla bla some saying it needs a carrier unlock and a bunch of people saying thier s5 verizon works just fine with tmobile so
im super sad is my verizon s5 just a att phone now or what the heck is going on here
now im wondering should i keep it and sell my beloved new note3 i dont want anyone getting screwed with my phone but i hate the task manager button !! i want my note3 but would need to sell s5 everyone wants tmobile no one wants att lol
i need to know DOES ANYONE HAVE A BAD IMEI VERIZON S5 WORKING ON TMOBILE IS THERE A CHANCE ITS A DUMB SIMCARD ISSUE ? NEEDS A MONTH TO MONTH PREPAID SIM NOT A INCONTRACT LEGACY SIM PS MY FRIEND GOT A SIM REPLACMENT 3 MONTHS AGO TOO HE SAID I GUESS THE DAYS OF CHEEP VERIZON UNLOCKED GLOBAL GOODNESS IS OVER
Cricket is moving to being a GSM carrier and without thinking I bought my girlfriends mom a Galaxy s4 for a christmas preset.
The last phone I flashed was about 5+ years ago. I've found guides on how to flash a Sprint or contract Verizon phone to Verizon pre-paid,
but I am unsure if the Cricket S4 would be the same , also all of those guides are for before Verizon updated their prepaid plan to their 4G LTE coverage.
I'm also not opposed to using a different prepaid service as long as they are decent speed and coverage wise. (Vancouver, WA)
if anyone could spell it out for me or point me in the correct direction it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get this done before christmas.
Hi folks,
we have had T-Mobile for awhile and while they are doing a lot of neat things with their un-carrier events/plans, at the end of the day we just dont't have good cell reception here were we live. We thought about moving two of us both with Galaxy S5 over to Cricket. We used to have AT&T before we moved to T-Mobile so have an idea of the coverage...
Will our T-Mobile phones work ok with Cricket?
so I bought my phone directly from Motorola and ordered a sprint sim as that's my carrier. Usually I have no issues with Sprint except when I go to our beach place then I have zero coverage and no wifi. So I decided I wanted to grab a prepaid sim from T-Mobile. Well when i enter in my ime it says my phone is not compatible. Am I missing something? I thought this phone was unlocked??? Or when I purchased it for sprint did Motorola lock it to that carrier??
Your phone is compatible. MXPE works on all the big carriers that I have seen. Inserting a sim does not lock an unlocked phone. Most likely, just calling T-Mobile will get you resolved.
Sent from my awesome phone!
