Does Verizon Dev Edition have GSM radios? - Moto X Q&A

There is currently one on eBay for a very reasonable price and the seller is stating that it will work on AT&T. Is that true? If so, will I receive LTE? Thanks!

It won't get LTE

Nexus 4 42mbps (DC-HSPA)

Not sure if this deserves to be here but I have rang a few different google people and they have confirmed the unlocked version does support 42mbps (DC-HSPA) if your carrier has it . Thought I'd let people know.

Posted on the Google Play Store now:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_16gb
It was just a typo that now has been fixed
Oh thank you I wasn't aware of this may as well delete this thread now

what the .... you're right. I could have sworn the Play Store said "HSPA+ 21" in the tech specs earlier today, but now it says "HSPA+ 42". Maybe I'm just going nuts. Not the first time

The +21 was an error, they recently corrected the specs listing to +42

Might wanna keep it open just a little bit longer … There seems to be a lot of confusion about it here in some threads..
Yep they must have fixed it. It showed 21mbps earlier today.

Sounds like a good plan, I thought T-Mobiles version had it aha. Not the unlocked one.

Very true but remember in order to get the T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling app to work it would need a different radio/kernel so updates wouldn’t get pushed out as fast as on other devices …
Unless T-Mobile its not planning on supporting it…
T-Mobile is the only carrier with 42mbps+, right?
AT&T is only 21mbps+?

In the US, yes. European carriers have it as well.
correct me if i'm wrong, but buying the unlocked version for use on AT&T would not affect anything but the max speeds, right?

Three UK have started rolling it out
OK, guys, stop calling it "unlocked version". There is no "locked" version. The version of the phone sold by T-Mobile is literally the exact same version that is sold on the Google Play store, no distinction whatsoever. There will be no custom modem or wifi calling apps on their version.

Why? It is unlocked. It is a very important distinction considering it is a pentaband phone. There have been locked GSM Nexus devices in the past btw.
Canadian Carriers
Can we expect HSPA+42 on Rogers in Canada or will we only get 21. I know Telus and Bell can both do HSPA+42. If not, I may have to switch to Telus or Bell...
For those in Canada, as far as I know Bell, Telus and Sasktel have some 42 mbps DC-HSPA coverage while Rogers, Wind and Mobilicity only have 21 mbps.
Here is Bell's coverage map. The light blue areas have 21 mbps while the darker areas have 42 mbps. Telus' coverage map should be indentical since they share the network.

If your talking about the AWS bands then right now I don't think there's a method available at the moment. I'm sure it can be done, but I haven't found it yet.

UMTS does not works

Are you sure it supports the bands used by your carrier? You may only get edge if your device doesnt support the bands your carrier uses.

Then you may need a different radio. Is the device stock? If it is stock then it is most likely that it doesnt support anything other then edge.

I was trying to use another radio (Radio_4A.21.3263.04_10.38m.1157.04L), but it does not helps me.
Should i try different radio versions?

[Q] Which Carrier Are You Going To Use?

As the title says ; ) Right now I'm on on a&t with a note 4 and plan on getting the N6 via play store then getting verzion for it, then I would eventually sell my note 4 but should I stick with AT&T for the N6 or go verzion. Had no problems with service but I think I can do better

AT&T. I'll never go to a CDMA carrier mainly because I change phones daily and it doesn't get any easier than swapping sim cards. I also absolutely LOVE their Next plan. Been with them for about 3 years now and have never had any coverage issues and I usually get about 30Mbps on LTE which is just wonderful.
AT&T.
Verizon since every other carrier is pretty much garbage where I'm at

Is it the same exact service as T-mobile prepaid?
Also does it support T-mobile's wifi calling?

Cricket (att mvno). I'll try tmobile again if the 700mhz comes here some day. I issued tmobile for years, but just sucks out of town or in buildings.
Verizon. Unlimited data!
Verizon....company pays for it...can't beat that...
Uscellular. Only carrier that gets decent reception where I live. Pretty excited they are finally getting some good phones.
T-Mobile.
Cheapest and best customer service.
Sprint. No problems with service around my area. Full bar LTE w/unlimited data.
Though I may switch to T-Mobile once they get better coverage.

Am I missing something? Ever since Verizon got 4G with a Sim card, I am able to just switch phones by switching out sim cards.... or so I thought

Verizon. Best signal coverage & UDP.

Can I buy an unlock code for this version and then work on AT&T LTE?

Just wondering if possible?

You should not need to, as all Verizon phones are already unlocked. You just won't get lte on other networks

You just corroborated what I just said.
The fastest network speeds you will get are 3G HSPA+

I find it extroardinary you were able to even temporarily get a 4G signal.
That said, you could try changing your APN settings. Here is a link to an article explaining how.
