So, I just bought a galaxy nexus UK international unlocked version. It has 5 pins on the sim reader and only reads Simple Mobile sims, doesnt read Straight Talk, AT&T and T-Mobile. When the seller called the Play Store, they claimed the nexus only has 5 pins. Could you please post pics of your sim slots? Thanks
I am the seller and got two different answers. The first person I spoke to said it only had 5 and said they would send a user manual that showed that. When I didn't receive the manual, I called back. The second person I spoke to said he would take a picture and send it to me. Here it is.

Your phone should read every sim card you have.

Bought mine from an importer, a Canadian version technically. It has the same pin layout as the picture above.

Considering that SIM connections/slots are standard and the European unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus are identical to the Google Play Galaxy Nexus in terms of hardware there should be no reason why they shouldn't read the same SIMs.

After using my Nokia Lumia 900, I decided to go back to my Galaxy Nexus. Since I had to use a Micro Sim for my Lumia I put it in my Galaxy Nexus and it doesn't connect to the network. There are also no APNs on the list on my phone and when I add a new one and hit save; it disappears.
I have the MSim right over the contact points; any ideas other than getting a new SIM?
A guy on YouTube replied to my comment by saying this:
If you have a micsrosim, your likely on the data plan for iphone. Which only allows you access to the "WAP" apn. You can not use PTA or PHONE on a iphone data plan. Go to the store and ask for a regular sim, and a data plan for 4G phones.
Is what he says true? Prior to using my Lumia I used my Micro Sim in my GN and it worked fine....

Do they sell that any stores? or are those just like from NewEgg and Amazon?
Someone please help!
So you're saying you put a micro sim without the adapter in the GNEX?
You can buy them cheap in those electronics stores or phone accessories stores. It's just a piece of plastic the size of the normal SIM with a microSIM cutout in the middle. 50 cents to a dollar I guess.

Seen it before? Alternatively you can make one on your own if you have an existing normal SIM. Link here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Create-a-Micro-SIM-to-SIM-Adapter/3183/1

If you can't get Google Wallet to work as a new install dafoxs has come across some interesting information. There is a change in the SIM card AT&T will be using and he thinks the inability to set up GW as new has to do with this new SIM. I contacted AT&T corporate c/s and this was the response they gave me;
"Thank you for using AT&T!
This email is a follow-up to our conversation earlier today; below is a summary of our discussion:
• Based on our discussion on 4/19/2013 regarding wireless number(s) 215-XXX-XXXX the following items were discussed: the isis mobile wallet system does require a new sim. the new sim is called Gemalto UICC-F SIM card and it has an embedded secure element. however it has not yet been launched in your market and therefore the sim cards are currently not avalible to you.
If you have further questions about your AT&T account, please refer to http://www.att.com/biz or by calling us at 1-866-ATT-7629."
dafoxs believes (and it makes sense) GW has made some subtle change on their end to make their app compatible with AT&T phones and are also using this new secure element. If this is the case we may be SOL until the new SIM becomes available.
That's funny, just got this. The item number is there

When I ordered my SE SIM...ATT verified my location before issuing the card for use with ISIS.
So it makes sense that if users don't reside in the ISIS test areas, ATT won't issue cards if they can't be used.
Why would they. ..
This is a serious problem. ..in getting a working gwallet....g
I was wondering because last time I ordered the N5 I got the D820 (from the US) and it doesn't work with LTE bands in my country. Now, I ordered my phone from the UK. Are there any models for this phone like there was D820 and D821? Or is it like a general model that works with everything, everywhere?

Looking at the specs page, it does state two different versions: international and US. It may be just one model with different radios or two models. It isn't clear
H790 is US and H791 is international
Taken from the FCC filings
@Bei60 can I ask you which is your country/opetator?
I live in Italy and I've read here D820 should work as the D821(that I own), I read the H790/1 bands specs, but I don't know how to know what band(s) my (and the other national) uses.
I have the opportunity to buy a cheaper us device, but I don't want to risk connectivity/speed problems...
Here's my network info:

Those Bands are what HTC has on each phone. If you buy one of those Models those are the bands you will get.
Yes people have changed the bands on their phones, but GSM models as far as I've seen are just temporary. So If you bought a GSM model you will get the bands that HTC enabled. CDMA models apparently keep the bands people picked after a reset so if you buy a Verizon or Sprint model off someone on XDA, Swappa etc you have a low chance of getting one with tempered bands.
At the end of the day those are the bands each phone will have. However it never hurts to ask questions if getting a phone from someone who has been on XDA.
I have a note 10 Plus unlock and instead of seeing my carrier name like AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile, it display Samsung. Why is it not showing my carrier name Sprint. You can see it on preferences, about phone, status, sim card status, network, Samsung. You can see under Brand Samsung. Also on lock screen top left says Samsung instead of Sprint.

I don't know how to change it, but you can hide it with 'quickstar' pluggin for Good Lock.
Thank you, but anybody has any idea why is it displaying Samsung as my network operator instead of Sprint
I surely would like to see "samsung"instead of my carrier name!

No idea, but interested in learning the reason! I'm also with Sprint, and seeing Samsung would be nice for a change
