are there any differences between the Japanese version SC-04D and the general version i9250, in terms of rom flashing, root method and future update?
If there is not, I am going to get the galaxy nexus tomorrow! thx guys!
I have an SC-04D (Docomo Galaxy Nexus). I was already able to root mine using the standard methods and install clockwork recovery, but haven't tried any custom ROMs yet. One thing that is different between the Docomo version and others is that the built-in tethering option is missing in the SC-04D, which is one reason why I'd like to install the standard google rom.
Thx for your reply, btw is there any sim lock for this SC04??

I assume that you can read Japanese, here is a small comparison site:
Look at Pocketgames.jp blog entry 19811
Hope this helps. About SIM Lock, I'm not sure, don't have other Sims to test, but I got my SC-04D with a red NTT Docomo SIM card, which I have not seen before yet, in the past there were green, now there are almost white, but red?!?!
Just curious, there is a lot better Japanese devices why choose Nexus? (if you are in Japan)
Emama,
your are right!
But I'm using the Nexus as my secondary phone (main is WP7 Omnia 7), because I wanted a Android phone without all the carrier's customization, and of course its Android 4.0 and has a big screen. My only other option was the Docomo GALAXY S II LTE SC-03D which has better specs as the Nexus.
As my Omnia 7 is a SIM free model (not official Docomo phone) I'm basically outside of the Docomo's high speed network with my contract, because I do not want to pay 8000Yen a month for that high speed support(its 128k now for 315Yen), but with the Nexus I can compensate this very much.
If possible I'm using Wifi hotspots. Most of them are free now.

The Docomo Galaxy Nexus is instead SIM Lock, but can be made SIM free in any Docomo shop. Price is 3000Yen.

Hi Floodguy,
I'm a tourist in Osaka now, and I heard the Galaxy Nexus is in very cheap price now, so I want to get one and bring to my own country.
The problem is, I can only see the phone in Docomo, that I have to buy it with a service plan. Can I simply get a phone only?
I don't read or speak Japanese so it's extra difficult for me. Please help! Thanks a lot!
Does anyone know if the docomo galaxy nexus work with tmobile/at&t without rooting? I see that it is a lot cheaper in Japan than US and want to get one, but not sure if it will work here. Any help will be appreciated!!

I got my docomo GN yesterday straight from Japan. I have to root the phone in order to sim unlock the phone. I'm in Canada and tried using Fido and Telus sim card and they both work fine to connect to 3G network.
Hi All,
I bought the GS3 on a UK contract with t-mobile, however I immediately gave the sim to my other half, and instead chose to use my virgin sim card.
Do I still use the rooting guide stated for the GS3 t-mobile version?
(upon inserting the virgin sim the phone asked me what provider to use t-mobile or virgin...)
Help would be appreciated.
Coops
if you have a UK Galaxy S3 wouldn't that mean you have the non-US "international" version ?
In which case your phone is totally different from the one TMo is giving to us American folk... I'd ask in the 9300 forum to be honest.

There are plently of threads on this already but basically there are 2 versions of the Note 2. the N7100 is the international NON LTE version relying on HSPA+ and there is the N7105 which (in the UK) will be released on the 15th October and is the LTE version and will be compatible on the upcoming 4G services offered by EE etc...

Hi all.
I'm considering buying an m8. A friend is selling one that is locked to the Vodafone network and I'm on ee. I've seen unlocked codes are cheap. My question is. Will it work OK on the ee 4g band? Or am I going to come across issues.
Cheers all.

It'll work, all the UK M8 are the same model just some might have branded software (e.g. Vodafone, EE) on them and some might be the unbranded version
I bought a Vodafone M8 a month ago, got it unlocked on eBay for 1.99. Paid for sunshine to get it s off and change the phone to unbranded m8. For you question yes it will work with all networks once you get it unlocked
Youre a gent, thanks for the reply !!!!!! Will take the plunge in that case
