Hello,
My sister has a Nexus 7 and she likes it. I plan to buy one also, and preferably the HSPA version. Since I travel a lot, especially to the Southeast Asia region, I wonder if my Nexus 7 will work internationally. Does the Nexus 7 only works with GSM network only? or it only works with ATT and Tmobile network like how Google is advertising it. For example, I think in Viet Nam, they use GSM network, does it means that I can just by a SIM card with data plan, pop it into my Nexus 7 and it will work without any problem? Please let me know your opinion, especially for those who bought the Nexus 7 HSPA model for international usage.
Thank you.
Hiee Guys iam from india

its only possible when Motorola and reliance jio together give an update for its support
so we cant currently use Reliance jio in our nexus 6 phones
Pixel got Volte via 7.1.1 Let's hope nexus 6 gets some love.
I wouldn't count on it. The entire reason the Nexus 6P received VoLTE is that it supports channel 40, which your carrier uses. Neither Nexus 6 model includes channel 40, the 6P is listed on the list of compatible devices and the 6 is not. If VoLTE is on band 40, you may be able to add that band if you're willing to risk bricking your phone. Otherwise, it's unlikely VoLTE will ever work on the Nexus 6 with the carrier you are using.

Jio works on band 3 (1800) in my city. Since nexus 6 supports band 3 don't see any reason why an update wouldn't fix volte on band 3.

Because VoLTE requires a fatter pipe than what band 3 is using. Band 40 is that pipe. The bandwidth on bands 3 and 5 is only 5MHz. Band 40 is 20MHz.[1] The lack of band 40 is why the Nexus 6 is not on Jio's list of supported phones, and why the Nexus 6 is highly unlikely to get VoLTE.

I don't think so. Volte is used in all bands.. if my building has only band 5 signal available, does that mean Volte/calls won't work just because my phone can't receive band 3 or 40?

From my understanding of things (admittedly limited), VoLTE uses a lot of bandwidth, thus you need a fat pipe to use it. Here in the US it generally isn't a problem as the major carriers for the most part don't have narrow pipes. In India, with Jio, the narrow bandwidth of bands 3 and 5 is a problem, and thus you would need band 40.
If you have band 5 available but nothing else, you'll get LTE data but your calls will be on the 3G network. Given the 6P is supported on Jio and the 6 is not, what Jio is using to determine network compatibility is the presence or absence of band 40. The 6P has band 40 while the 6 does not. The 6P has VoLTE - according to previous posts - while the 6 does not. The conclusion based upon the facts is that band 40 is required for VoLTE.

Jo is a total 4g network. So no fall back options (3g/2g). I never faced an issue where i had only LTE but not VoLTE. That makes me think Volte should be offered on all bands. And Volte doesn't consume much data like VOIP options. 6P is not having Volte yet by the way. waiting for some patch.
the sadder part is i can't even make calls using the jio4voice app itself. It always shows THIS SERVICE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE IN YOUR REGION. Anything i can do about it ??
Idk but mine was fixed buy some settings in the internet

Just disconnect wifi it will not connect for voice call(both incoming and outgoing) in myjio4g voice app if wifi is connected
I bought a Nexus 6 XT1100 brand new but didn't realize that it doesn't support T-mobile's LTE bands. Is there any way to activate them or do I have to buy the XT1103 version?
Thanks for your help.
I too have the question

I do not know which XT version i have i am from India and would be grateful if Band 40 could be enabled.
Is it possible?
That may sound weird , but i am not expert to this stuff thanks.
Band 40 is not available on either Nexus 6. You want a 6P for band 40.
We have an entire thread on enabling missing bands in the General subforum. However, I don't believe it can add bands neither device has.
It was briefly discussed before just want to clarify, there are plenty of GSM versions of Note 4, I have T-Mobile so would like to know which ones aside of SM-910T would work. I can verify that AT&T SM-N910A works fine, what else is good?
SM-N910R4 US Cellular not sure whether they are GSM
SM-N910P Sprint has a SIM card slot not sure what they are...
SM-N910V Verizon has a SIM card slot not sure what they are...
There is also SM-N910W8 (other Canada and PR GSM operators)?

As far as the Verizon and Sprint versions go, I am not sure if they support falling back to GSM/UMTS when no LTE coverage is available. These providers never used GSM/UMTS for their 2G/3G networks instead they used CDMA so that is probably what these phones support. Most likely the N910T or the AT&T version of the Note4 will be your best bet for on the T-Mobile network. A quick google search for US Celluar says that they also used CDMA, so their variant is probably in the same boat as the Sprint/Verizon phones. If you are really looking for something different look up the Note 4 Duos, was a dual sim phone released in Hong Kong and possibly other variants in Asia. My understanding is it only supports LTE/3G/2G on one SIM and 2G only on the 2nd SIM however.

I have purchased the Pixel 5 from unofficial market in India. The device is getting all the regular monthly updates and i am also expecting that it will be upgraded to the next version of Android. However, the device is not getting update for 5g. Anyone has any info on this?
5G on your Pixel
Check your 5G availability

It says AIRTEL and JIO are the only carriers supported. It could be that you're on a different carrier than the ones listed. If you are using AIRTEL or JIO, you may simply need to update your sim card at your local store. Older sim cards created before 5G was released may not be able to connect to the 5G towers.
If you're not with AIRTEL or JIO and you don't want to switch carriers, you can try my guide or a magisk module created by member: Vortuks.
