Verizon anyone? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have DNA, and am thinking of buying this phone. Can anyone tell me if it can be used on Verizon? I think it can but I can only get 3g, is that right? I switched to Verizon from Att because in my area att 4g is a joke. I averaged like 3mb speeds, while my Verizon 4g averages like 25 to 28. So I'm thinking 3g on Verizon is probably faster than att 4g HERE that is. Would there be any other disadvantages?

You're out of luck buddy. Google didn't make this phone for Verizon and Sprint.
Besides, the droid DNA has very similar or the same specs as the nexus 4. They're almost blood brothers.

Nothing has the Dev support a Nexus does, especially not in the short time these phones have been out. That's why we're here.

Force changes (Verizon)

Hey guys, recently my dad has not been happy with at&t and has decided to switch our whole family (4 people) to Verizon.. I love my Atrix but sadly it is a GSM phone and it wont work on Verizon. I will be needing a new phone on Verizon and was wondering which phone(s) would be a good transition to from the Atrix.

Droid X2 coming out next week
Do you know if it'll be any good?

Looked up the specs and only 512mb ram and worse battery life than the Atrix is a deal breaker for me

They don't have a comparable phone yet.

As of right now, nothing on Verizon can match the atrix in terms of ram. If I were you I'd go with the Droid X 2, since hardware wise its a larger atrix with less ram.
What if I convinced my dad to wait until the sgs2 cane out? Do you think that'd be better?

Razr M data on call 3g

Why does this phone not get the data on call when on 3g like other s4 snapdragon phones? I thought that was a feature of that chip. Same chip as the sgs3 and incredible 4g....
I realize you can get the data on 4g but it works with 3g on the other phones.
Any suggestions or answers? Maybe works on the jelly bean update?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
To my knowledge its not the phones, it is a limitation of the 3G network, that is why the CDMA carriers is hard at rolling out the 4G networks.
No the phones I have listed have the capability on Verizon ... pretty sure it's a chip set thing
I believe the Rezound, incredible 4g, galaxy s3 all have this capability on Verizon.... possibly more I don't know of
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I guess no one is concerned with this feature? I am just wondering if it's hardware or software related

Yep cdma is for voice or data...not both at the same time
If u have Lte and CDma u can get both at the same time
GSM phones can do both at the same time
Pretty simple

It's definitely not impossible. Rezound could definitely talk and use 3g data at the same time.

I believe it is called SCDMA, Verizon supports it and a few phones on their network support it. The Thunderbolt is one that I know about. The problem, as I understand it, is the phone needs a second 3G radio and that kills the battery life. There was a lot of talk about it on howardfourms.com when Verizon announced it about a year ago. It was a feature I missed when I left AT&T especially when using the phone for navigation in a car while talking. I've mostly been taking mass transit the last few years so it isn't as important to me.
Since the LTE radio already is eating the battery life and VoLTE is due next year, I doubt your going to see new phones with this feature.
I check the howardforums site, it is SVDO and here's a thread (there are many):

Looks like the S3 supports it too.

Verizon

Damn, if this is coming out on Verizon tomorrow, Verizon isn't doing lg any favors. They don't know at the stores yet. Sometimes I think Samsung owns part of Verizon. They know all about note III. I'm a little disappointed at the lack of ANY buzz. Seems like only people who are hard core phone junkies have even heard about it

yep that's typical verizon for you lol and their employees don't know a damn thing. I'm gonna hit up a corporate store on the way home from work to see if they have a demo model out yet, as some people said they did already.

Now when you say it has root, you mean the Verizon version?
Unrelated - why are all the carriers version of this phone bundled into 1 forum?
'VERIZON30'

[Q] Why did you upgrade to the LG G2?

Why did you upgrade to the LG G2?
Battery, Bigger Screen without going too big with the phone, LTE (not that i need it yet), and just because i got it at a good price, was deciding between Nexus 5 or G2 so i went with the G2. Came from a Nexus 4.
EDIT: Oh yeah better speaker than the N4 (and the N5 I think), build quality is good too.
Note 3 was too big and I never used the pen.
No nexus 5 on Verizon hoping to get kitkat soon

My beloved Droid DNA had a cracked screen. I couldn't justify the cost of repairing it vs getting the G2.
Wanted something new after using my Galaxy S1 (Now my trusty backup phone) for 3 years. Do I need to say more?
G2 seemed like the obvious choice. Waited a bit for the N5 but I'm glad I got the G2, as the 16GB version of N5 costs the same as my 32GB G2 here in Norway.
My Gnex started to slow down and I wanted something stable. The G2 beat out the Moto X by passing the 'how will the device be 2 years from now' test and the Nexus 5 by me being a Verizon customer. So far, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and am looking forward to rooting soon!
Lots of the same reasons above, no Nexus on VZW, GNex showing it's age, ease of rooting.
Really like this device now that I've had it a bit.
The Nexus 5 wasn't coming to Verizon and I couldn't stand my Galaxy Nexus battery life anymore.
I just switched from Verizon to T-Mobile so have access to both the G2 and Nexus 5. In that regard, G2's battery life vs N5's crappy juice won out.
Not to mention that T-Mobile only carries that 16GB version of the N5 for some stupid reason.
After spending a 8 months with a Spectrum 2 and no Dev. support, I was going crazy with Rom withdrawal.

How do you like it as compared to your DNA? That battery apparently just went on my DNA and I was looking into this phone.
I had the itch for something new

I had a Galaxy S3 that was affected with the sudden death glitch. It was the specs that caught my attention, but ultimately it was playing with the demo at an AT&T store that won it for me. Got a good deal on it too. $115 after taxes.

Firstly because of sound player. 192/24. Secondly camera quality especially 60fps. Then 5.2 screen also was important thing.
I just got mine for free plus 30 for activation. Should get here tomorrow. Haven't even used one yet.
