Nexus 7 2013 LTE now available in Play Canada. - Nexus 7 (2013) General

Just ordered mine.
Looks like we don't get a free month of data - no SIM is offered (at least not on their site... but it's not entirely updated.. the detail section still shows the LTE model as 'coming soon'...)

I really wanted the LTE model but after using Bluetooth tethering of my 32GB WiFi to my GS3 I think i'm fine.
Enjoy yours when you get it!

Which provider? Airtel has LTE dongles available in a few cities but that's a dongle.
Afaik Reliance, Videocon and Aircel have plans and they might eventually roll out these services in the next couple of years but none of it (excluding Videocon) is supported by N7 or any other LTE phone currently available here with the exception of iPhone 5S and 5C because they use different bands.
Videocon on the other hand will use the widespread FD-LTE which the N7 supports, so Videocon is your only option.
Check the bands. LTE in India is TD-LTE not so in Europe and US or rest of the world.

every dongle has a SIM card inside it, n thts wht u need.
go to any service provider's showroom, almost all of them hav tailor made data plans for non-calling tablets.
and the manager at my local "airtel gallery" himself told me that airtel will launch 4g services in whole of maharashtra by jan2014 end.
I should say I was talking about lte as a whole (Volte, csfb..) earlier.
Even then, Airtel and everyone else with the exception of Videocon uses TD-LTE (different freq and band, 2300mhz and 38/40 iirc) which the N7 does not support.
Off topic but I want to ask something.
I want to buy Nexus 7 tablet for my wife and kid daughter (3 years old, she play games). But I am kind of confused right now.
I know there is considerable difference between Nexus 7 2012 and 2013. But there is also huge difference in prices too.
Nexus 7 (2013) 32GB is selling for 24,000 Rs on Play store. And
Nexus 7 (2012) 32GB is selling for 10,800 Rs on Flipkart (with 10% discount).
So I am totally confused among these two. Is 2013 version really that much better to justify that much price difference, more then double.
Can someone suggest. Thanks
^^
You could buy it from Amazon if you want for 16.8k + duty which will come to about 21k i guess.

Flipkart is selling it now for same prices as Google Play. It also comes with warranty of course.
So we might also buy new Nexus 7 32GB at 22k with 10% cashback on Flipkart.
I bought Nexus 7 2012 in Feb and it was nice tablet. We usually watched videos, internet surf and play fruit ninja or angry birds, kind of stuff. Then I gave this tablet to my niece. And I was waiting for new Nexus 7 but release price is kind of steep and since Nexus 7 2012 is available for a lot cheaper, I am not able to decide.
Will buying 2013 version wiser considering we can get 2012 at half price?
I think that depends on how you are going to use it, for lightweight games and multimedia the 2012 one should suffice, but then i've not used one of these so you should probably wait for a reply from someone who has used both.
At 10k it is a steal though!
i would personnaly stay away from the nexus 7 2013. the touchscreen issue is a mess

day 4 - no issues of any kind. also got the KitKat update this morning
I got my 2013 version from the US and I'd strongly suggest people to buy locally. Looks like my device has the tough screen issues and in a certain location, my touches aren't getting registered.

You could try taking it to Asus for international warranty (after trying the fix of course). I don't have touch issues but i have that stain around the Nexus logo on the back unfortunately.
Flipkart now selling 16 GB Nexus 7 2012 for 7,999 Rs only and 32 GB for 11,999 Rs only.
If you want to buy this one then hurry. You might not get better deal in future.
I purchased last weeks for 1000 Rs more.

Great News! Chinese version works on T-Mobile with LTE

This is a glorious day!!!!
Ok, so I was browsing Youtube for some reviews of the Ascend Mate 7 and I came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNVV20U5qtU (website here: http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/09/huawei-ascend-mate-7-first-impressions.html)
The reviewer (Alexander Maxham) said that he had a Chinese version that was sent to him by Huawei. I asked in the comments whether he had tried any North American SIM cards, and these are the responses I got:
Me:
Thanks for the video. Quick question. I assume you're in North America somewhere, have you tested the Chinese version that you have on any of the North American Networks? There seems to be some confusion about whether there will be a US-specific version of the device or if the Chinese version will give HSPA+ or LTE in the US and Canada.
Alex:
Right now, I have a AT&T sim in there, and it's only HSPA+. But it should work completely on T-Mobile's LTE network. I don't have their SIM right now but should have one in a few days.
Me:
Okay great. If you could give us update when you get it and try it, i'm sure many people would appreciate it. This phone looks great btw. It's almost certainly going to be my next phone (coming from Note 3). I'll subscribe so I can see your full review when it's posted.
Alex:
It fully works on T-Mobile. About the same speeds as my T-Mobile branded LG G3 is getting. Kind of weird usually foreign phones work completely on AT&T and only get EDGE and sometimes HSPA+ on T-Mobile. But it's full on LTE this time around, which is great. 
I see no reason to doubt him. And this makes me very happy. Full LTE on T-Mobile!
Wooohoooooo!!!!!!!

I find this incredibly ridiculous that news sources, websites, and even Huawei themselves doesn't know what networks the Mate 7 works on. I'll wait for 2 or 3 more people to confirm this works on T-Mobile before buying it. I'd want the 32GB/3GB RAM version, will that work with TMo LTE?
Good news if it works with T Mobile

I will be going to Taipei and Thailand in November so maybe I can buy the Mate 7 there. My big worry is whether there would be various models or variations in hardware configurations. I still find it strange that it seems hard to determine if a phone works with a specific carrier until it gets used on that carrier. If the phone says it works on Bands 2 and 4 should it not definitely work on T Mobile's LTE network? I sometimes wonder if the cell phone companies purposely confuse the issue so you will not buy a different phone. I am not an iphone guy but I believe I read that the Sprint and US Cellular Iphones (and maybe Verizon?)
support virtually every cell phone band in the world, if true, that is what I would like to see in a phone. You never know when you might make a wrong turn and end up in Chad or Outer Mongolia!
Bill
Not sure what bands its connecting on... as Tmobile in USA looks like it has 700, 1700 and 1900... but none of those are the reported 1,3,7 LTE FDD bands that the the mate7 is supposed to have.... maybe it also has band 2?
EDIT: If this is true, then it all makes sense how the reviewer was getting full speeds on tmobile. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55468358&postcount=1 + http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55500623&postcount=3IF those bands are available while roaming, then it makes sense as band 2 would enable it. Also band 4.

Yes. From the article:
" This version of the Ascend Mate 7 supports LTE and HSPA+ on T-Mobile and AT&T so I am enjoying it on T-Mobile's LTE network."
He didn't list a specific version, but I'm sure he would have mentioned if it were a US specific version as opposed to the normal Chinese version. So far all of the reviews that I have seen where Huawei has sent out a device have been the Chinese version.
Wonder which Chinese version it is since I want to pick one up next month when I travel. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I don't know personally. Mayne you should go to the article and ask in the comments. They might be kind enough to let you know the specific model number.
I went ahead and asked which version he had working on t-mobile lte in the comments. He said...... "It shows model number MT7-L09. This one has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage"
He also mentioned with his pre paid ATT sim he was only getting HSPA+.
Interesting. It could be the APN with his att prepaid Sim. But at least it works for T-Mobile for sure.

MT7-TL10 the 3 gig gold model appears to support identical bands as the 2 gig model above.
It appears aliexpress has updated the description online to include bands 2 and 4 now

This confirms what I posted in the other thread from the Youtube reviewer (Alex from AndroidHeadlines) who stated that he had gotten HSPA+ on AT&T, but LTE on T-Mobile.
When I Googled the model number (MT7-L09) it brought me to this page (http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/support/manuals/ascend-mate7.htm) which has a US/English support manual for the phone and specs that list bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28.
MT7-L09 doesn't appear to be on sale anywhere online? I would rather the 3 gig model anyway. Might just pony up and try it. Shows the band's I need supported now. Coming from the note 3 this is exactly what I hoped the note 4 to be.

Yeah me too. I am just worried about ordering from Aliexpress and having it take a month to get to me. They are notorious for taking forever to ship to the US.
I really wish Huawei would get their stuff together and get this device in people's hands. Just put it on your website and let people pre-order it at least.

LTE Model "Later this year"

According to Google, the LTE model will not be available until sometime "later this year".

Bummer!
I am also sad that it doesn't include wireless charging. I guess will be holding onto my Nexus 7 for a little while longer.
Oh, this upsets me I have a 2013 Nexus 7 with mobile data right now. Was considering the update.
When i heard that O2 and Three (both mobile providers) were going to be among the first shops in the UK to start selling it I assumed it would be a LTE/4g/3g version.
Overall I am happy with my 2013 Nexus 7, but the Nexus 9 seems to have a more premium look to it. 4:3 aspect ratio should be better for reading to.
What SIM size does the LTE version use? Micro? Mini? I don't see it in the spec.
Hmm... should I get N9 LTE for $599 or Shield Tablet LTE for $399? I use Parallel Access with my iPad and 10" is a bliss, but too big to carry and use while commuting.
On Amazon £469
I've pre-ordered a 4g Nexus 9 from Amazon UK for £469 where it states delivery will be 3 November.
I have seen other press reports stating that the 4g version will not be available until later this year and hopefully this is incorrect!

Black only.
Sand for example will be available only as a 32gb variant (no 16gb at all).
Sadly I was looking for the sand or white LTE version and now will go for the 32gb sand when it becomes available.
I was sorely tempted to get the LTE/4G version given that Three do a very nice 10gig data contract for £15 a month, but given the hold up that the 4G version had with 4.4.4, I am disinclined to go that route. It sounds daft but part of why I go Nexus is because they get updates right away. The only other route would be a customs ROM but then there is the issus with some apps not working due to "security" etc etc.
If anyone has info to the contrary I will gladly spring for a 4G version mind.
Dammit, how come Amazon US doesn't have the LTE version for pre-order?!
Sprint LTE?
Gents,
I use Sprint. I would like the LTE model but I am not paying T-mo for a data plan.
any of you cats think Sprint will have an LTE version? Will there even *be* an LTE version other than T-mo?

Question. Can I change the APN and use ATT? I have unlimited data for iPad and it would be sweet justice to use it on NeXus 9. Wondering about SIM size as well.
I'd bet it's a nano-SIM. You could cut that older AT&T SIM and then use an adapter to swap it back and forth. Not sure about APN or compatibility, though?
So you've been paying AT&T all this time, $30/month for that unlimited plan on your iPad? Wow. I got sick of paying it just to keep the grandfathered status. I sold mine a few years ago to a very eager buyer for $750, and never looked back. I did get $40 from the class action settlement though. Damn bait-and-switchers... AT&T sucks.
Man... Google need to get their crap together when it comes to announcing new product AND having it available. Apple announced iPhone 6, 6+ and new iPads and they are all available to purchase very soon afterwards. Why can't Google just do the same: announce the new products, THEN have ALL models available within a week.
Oh wait... considering they FORGOT to get the FCC certification for the Nexus Player after announcing it... LMFAO

What does it mean by the "T-Mobile version"? I thought all Nexus devices are the same, regardless of the carrier:
- No crapware
- Not locked
I did place the order. So if it turns out to have both of the above, especially the locked version, I can always cancel.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------
According to the N930FD spec sheet, this phone has all the necessary hardware to operate on AT&T. It supports 1900MHz (B2), 850MHz (B5), LTE700 (B17), and LTE1700/2100 (B4). There is no reason why it wouldn't work.

missing 2 bands. b29 & b30
https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...-td-lte/samsung-sm-n930a-galaxy-note-7-td-lte
That's why I ended up pre-ordering the ATT version
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using XDA-Developers mobile app
The 2 missing bands don't seem to be a big deal
Band 29 - Pertaining to cellular networks, the radio downlink is the transmission path from a cell site to the cell phone. (A frequency for Tracking you)
Band 30 - The Wireless Communications Service (WCS) 2.3ghz Frequency that is mostly used for the "ZWave type technology" (ATT Alarms - like locking doors etc.)
I'm definitely going with Galaxy Note 7 N930FD DUAL SIM Factory Unlocked! I'm sure it'll feel nice to be free and feel free from a carrier like ATT. The last few devices I've purchased I felt like a mouse caught in a trap. The S6 Edge was & will be the last carrier locked device I will ever buy. Not all may feel my pain but that's way to much money to put out and be locked out of it.
One advantage of ATT is for WHEN the devices go wrong. I have had to switch practically evert note I ever had from Note 1 through 5. They are very good at that.
That's one worry about getting the device from a 3rd party seller, for me anyway.

I didn't even know what those 2 were since googling at&t bands only shows info on the ones used for calls and LTE.
Band 30 is newer spectrum they purchased last year, it's mainly for high congestion areas and hasn't been deployed in many places yet. Not sure how significant it will be in the near future, I do know that the iPhone SE was released without it, so it can't be that important, yet. Band 29 I have no idea, haven't researched it yet. I don't think I'd be afraid of this model in terms of reception, but you lose a lot of stuff like wifi calling, VOLTE, Samsung pay, etc.
Anyone know if the bootloader is unlocked? I'd be willing to lose the AT&T stuff if I could root it.

Can you see if wifi calling works? I'm pretty sure it's no, but I wanted to hear it first hand. If it doesn't maybe it's worth a call to att tech support and maybe they can add it. Also does Samsung pay work?

No Wi-Fi calling. Samsung pay is not included in the default apps. I'll play more tomorrow to see.

i briefly owned a note 5 international device without samsung pay. to get it to work you need a ROM from a country where Samsung pay is active. Like US, UK, Australia dn i think Singapore now. At the time the only roms were from countries that hadnt activated samsung pay and therefore the app didnt work. Not the end of the world as there is android pay.
I am really interested to see how you get on with LTE without that band. Can you do a compare to an AT&T device?

So far so good today. I drive a lot for work and signal / lte has been working fine. Basically haven't noticed anything wrong with data/signal so that's a good thing. I haven't cancelled my pre order with ATT so I might compare it to that one when it comes in.
Tonight I can run speed test side by side with my wife's iPhone tonight at home. Not really sure if that would help, but I can do it.

Where can I buy the LTE version online?

Hi,
I need to replace my Samsung Note 8.0 and I'm looking for a high performance 8 inch tablet with SIM capabilities. Samsung did not release a Tab S3 8 inches and also the 10 inch version with LTE is still not out. Nvidia also dropped the K1 with LTE. So I was searching for the HUAWEI M3 LTE but I also cannot find it online!?!
Any help? I need it shipped to the US
Thanks!
I bought mine from a seller on Ebay. There are several listed over there right now. Be forewarned that you won't get LTE speed in the U.S. on any carrier that I can find. The LTE version just doesn't have the proper bands for U.S. carriers. I generally see 3G and some HSPA + on Tmobile in the Chicago area. The upside is that 5ghz wifi is enabled on the LTE version since it isn't meant to be sold in the U.S. I do wonder if I'd have any warranty coverage if anything comes up, but so far everything is flawless.
It is available in Europe on Amazon. amazon.it is the cheapest. But I don't know if they can ship it to the US.
I got mine from eBay as well.

Does it have LTE B5? I live in Guatemala. Also B5 should work on AT&T?
(All info online says that it does have B5)
Aliexpress. I bought him last year in October 2016.

Not sure how to know that. If you can tell me how to find that out, I'll sure look.

You can purchase it from Amazon.de (340 Euro) (4 day delivery) ( I got it delivered in US) so :good:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01L27OWJO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I purchased it from there.
My tablet is BTV-DL09 (SIM version)
It came with European ROM (best)
So I would highly recommend this tablet without a doubt.
Great Perfomance:good: (4GB RAM + Kirin 950 processor)
Excellent Bluetooth :good:
Excellent WIFI :good:
Excellent Screen/Display :good:
Excellent Speakers :good:
Excellent & Long battery life :good: ( anywhere between 4 to 7 days with SOT of 11 hours consistently and sometimes 12 hours or more )
Fast Finger print scanner :good:
Can easily update to Android 7.0 - steps in another thread.
Regarding the SIM capabilities - I haven't used it with a SIM yet but I hope anyone else with same tablet can share their experience.
I use my tablet in Aeroplane mode as I don't have extra SIM but still gr8 performance. (battery is so good in standby)
Please see the screenshots..
Hope this will help you decide on your purchase.
