Hopefully im posting the the correct area.
Im looking at buying a used nexus 4 to replace mine.
Dumb question maybe to some but are they all the same model number? E960
Are they all the same as, use with any carrier?
Also, mine is in english and im the ones im looking at are in non us speaking country. Will the phone still be in english or no?
Anything to look for when buying used?

Hi,
Am planning to buy a N1 (from ebay india) to sink my teeth into Android (not just the app development part).
Just wanted to know if there are several different models of the Nexus one out there? And if so how to identify each.
Also as I'm getting it off ebay wanted to make sure I was not getting a fake. So does anyone know how to identify if it's a fake when I receive it?
TIA
Theres only one model of the Nexus, the Nexus One.
How to tell if its fake... i dunno. Maybe the ebay description :-/

Check out the FCC number on the back to be sure whether you're getting the 850/1900/2100 version or the 900/AWS/2100 version.

Do this! Make sure you get the right version for you!
(FYI - if you don't care about 850/1900 vs. 900/AWS, you should know that the 850/1900 is no longer available, so ebay prices for it seem to be $100-$200 more than the AWS version [which can still be had as the dev phone from google])

jeez, dude...understand the question!
And also it'd be good to know if it's the AMOLED or SLCD model. You can tell the difference by the way it looks booting up in a dark room. What I don't know is, are there any differences in the model #s written on the back of the phone for the SLCD models?
Thanks for all the info folks.
But is there any info that I can ask the dealer (from the packaging etc.) to determine if it is a genuine piece.
And any way to confirm its the real deal once I get the phone (while booting or something)?
Just trying to be careful as I can't afford to waste too much (still studying ), and I don't want to get some cheap chinese fake.
TIA

If it's a knock off, it's not going to be genuine Android, so it'll be obvious.

I'm having a different problem related to identifying the model. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18426549
my nexus 4's model No. is LGE960P why is p? I know it through select imei from some bbs!
answer me please!
It's not P http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nexus_4_e960-5048.php
Sent from my N4, wanna know what I am doing? Check http://team-fun.eu now Free
I tried searching it on Google and it seems to point to the Hong Kong and China market, I don't know, just a guess, pretty sure its not any different than other models though, I'm sure they all have the same hardware.
The LG-E960W is the white version.
Hi, I'd like some tips to choose which model of Note3 to buy in China.
SM-NXXX or tips to not get scammed.
I live in Italy, so which one is usable here? Or which one can be modded? Thanks ^^
Best tip to not get scammed:-
Don't buy it in China

What's bad about it? Did you get the dual sim one?
Most likely I have to buy/trade one there (giving back my HTC one 802t).
What's the difference between sm-n900, 900k and 9005?

my best advice, get your note 3 in your country, and from an authorized vendor, you will be covered against any malfuction or quality issues, the money you coul probably save buying on line, will never amount to the peace of mind a warranty offers you, I have returned some phones 3 or four, always getting a new one, if you buy on line, and specially fron china, what will you do in case of a sudden death or something else?
the forum is plagued with cases of people asking for help due to malfunctions that otherwise could have been solved through an authorized dealer in their respective countries, think about this, luck

If you want to have 4g then you cannot but one from China Mainland, none of them support 4g lte. You need to get one from Hongkong(SM-N9005). Do not get the SM-N900 as it is 3g only as well.
Here is the main ones you can buy from China/Hongkong:
9002: dual sim version, wcdma+gsm
9006: wcdma version
9008: TD-scdma version
9009: dual sim version, cmda2000+gsm
9005: 4g version, parallel imported from hongkong
900: wcdma. dual quad cores
So I am thinking of getting a note 4 but in the UK it's the F version but I was thinking the C version looks better...snappier and possible better functionality with lollipop later? Is C the only other safe model in the UK? I see it seems to be the only one with the same features for connectivity.
Also would I need to do anything to the phone to use it in the UK? Anyway would be good to hear from anyone already using a note 4 in England etc.....Thanks.
Oh and also wondering if any other models are ok...

Go with the F model, it works great on Lollipop...no need to desperately search for the C...
Yes hmm I know it's goodi just thought at one point the exynos would become more useful. I did see someone had used both and listed multitasking between apps as better which attracts me. And possibly some kind of 64 bit stuff kicking in one day?
Well the title says it, the only place i found is amazon and is more expensive that the ones being sold in Swappa, but they are gone right now, or what other phone do you think is good?
Why do you want the international version. I see you are coming from an Nexus 5. The international version does not have wireless charging if that is important.

Because i will buy it there, but i will bring it to Mexico
Are there frequencies missing on the us997 that you need in Mexico?
Any of the US models should work fine in Mexico. Likely more so than a Euro model.
Well you could easily look that up couldn't you?
I suggest the topic starter do that himself.
