[Q] Will Nexus 7 work on 3G sim in India?

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.

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

SPH-L720 unlocked for ATT question(s)

I just successfully flashed the modem/rom/etc on my new S4 for ATT. I have service with H+ on ATT but I am unable to get LTE, GPS, or MMS messages. Does anyone know if there is a way to get these functions working yet on this phone?
4.4.2 Firmware.
Sounds like the apns are messed up. Maybe search for what they should be and verify against what is set on your device.

I have verified the APN is correct per another ATT S4 stock and my old S3 LTE APN, still no LTE. let me remind you that this is a n unlocked SPRINT phone with GSM enabled as primary connection..

Make sure the network mode is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM or something with LTE if you have other options. Also, i'm not entirely sure the Sprint model has the same LTE bands enabled.

Verizon Note 4 on t-mobile network

I've been using it on tmo since yesterday. Solid signal, very stable so far. I ran speedtest this morning and got 56 up\26 down. The speed is crazy fast.
To get the Note 4 working on Verizon:
1. Change the APN setting.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
2. Change the network mode to Global in Mobile networks (same place where you set the APN)
3. Change the voice mail number.
-Open the Phone app, click on the 3 dot Menu button, go to Settings, select Call, select Voice Mail Setting, and change the number from *86 to 123.
-I use Google Voice, so I just switch mine to Google Voice.
4. If touch tone DTMF is not working for you, try to turn of noise reduction or change the DTMF from Short to Long.
5. To get rid of the annoying SIM message in the notification. Tap, hold the message and select App Info then force close it. Do this every time you reboot the phone.
Hi, noob question here, I am also using tmo network on a verizon note 4 but I can't seem to go online... I was told to changed the Network mode to GSM but still nothing. it also says the Signal strength is -67 dBm 23 asu. Any help would be great thanks!

You need to add T-Mobiles APN google it!
Good to know. I'll be taking this bad boy to Asia next month. Sounds like it'd be a no problem sticking a new sim card as long as I get the APN down ?

how to remove Verizon bloatware
I'm using the Verizon note 4 with the T Mobile SIM card and it works well, it connects to 4G LTE, but I cannot use mobile hotspot because its integrated with Verizon's services. All the APN settings are fine but it says mobile number not found.
Does anyone know how to remove all of the Verizon bloatware? Things such as the Playstore and settings even have Verizon bloat. Data Usage tool also does not work either.
Also to note, whenever i reboot the phone a permanent notification apoears saying something like, "Sim card is not Verizon," which can only be removed if you force close the activation agent. Its annoying that Verizon left its mark throughout parts of the phone.
Is it possible to make this a Regular galaxy note 4?
(Another weird thing is that the settings menu cannot be switched to carousel mode which the T-Mobile version can do.)
hi i tried my t-mobile sim in my verizon note 4 but lte is not working it only works on hspa
so what apn settings did u use can u pls tell me the apn settings for lte.

I think T-Mobile sims for lte should use
fast.t-mobile.com
also make sure you do have LTE in your area.
I did it on Galaxy S5 for someone and it was fine.

To get rid of that notification, press and hold it until the App Info window appears. Hit that window then you'll go to the Activation Agent app settings. Push "Force Close" and it will disappear.
Nice and easy but the only problem is that you have to do this every time you restart your phone.

Does your phone have a clean esn from verizon or is it considered a "bad esn" (lost phone)? Just curious if they work outside verizon with bad esn.

It depends if your market uses LTE band 4. Probably though.
Also, it looks like (once root is achieved) you'll be able to add more LTE bands.
Do we lose frequencies when we use a verizon phone on tmobile? Doesn't seem to have band 12.

Shouldn't be an issue since AT&T and T-Mobile primarily use band 4. The other bands are for additional bandwidth if there is congestion and T-Mobile uses band 12 in limited markets.
