[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
While the voice part of the plan would be unused, the unlimited data (and texting, if that mattered to people) would definitely be a great deal at $30/month by itself. Honestly, I think it is a stupid mistake of T-Mobile. The fact that the N73G comes with AT&T "preloaded" (in a manner of speaking), means that very few users will use T-Mobile as their provider. While this is only one device, and a small subset of the overall Nexus7 userbase, they've really done a great job at alienating them. If they would have allowed the $30 plan to be used, I could see a LOT of people using that over AT&T. Since the TMO pricing is about the same, there is no reason for people to switch now. In your case, especially with such a bad first experience, and the fact that you can save a few bucks, it makes sense. But most casual users won't.

If anything, with the N73G unable to make calls, and unlikely to be a heavy SMS device, I think they would actually save some money over a phone on the plan.

Also, in reading the 3G Voice Dev thread, I think it's safe to say that it's pretty unlikely we will ever get voice calling on our tablets. Maybe someone will find a way, but the recent post by a very sharp developer put a nail in the coffin in my opinion.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swordsman76:
TMO worked for me somehow

I do have the 30$/mo TMO plan on my unlocked iPhone (very happy with that, particularly after two years of AT&T) and even better coverage/speed im my area (Chicago). On my 3G N7 however I use currently the 15$/250mb data plan by AT&T (just for testing, won't stick with it) and it crapped out for some while. Wasn't sure if it was due to bad coverage or something else. So I popped in the TMO sim card and checked quickly. All worked fine although I didn't test it for a long time.

So, reading this I was surprised first before realizing that it probably worked because I've activated my TMO sim with my iPhone's IMEI.

I guess a workaround would be to get the TMO card, activate it with the phone and then use it in the N7. Of course I don't know if the provider can figure this out later while in use.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
Hrmmm.. So far, you are the first person to report such a success.

I haven't tried it myself, but many others who were in a similar situation as yourself, with the $30 TMO plan on a phone, tried swapping the SIM card in, but it wouldn't work at all. You're saying you could get data over 3G?

If so, I wonder if maybe TMO changed their policy? Can anyone else try it and verify?

It might also have just been a fluke or maybe something to do with the tower you were on. It's unlikely they would have changed their policy, but maybe we'll get lucky.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swordsman76:
Yes, I tried it again and this time after a few seconds all connections got redirect to the TMO login page not outside connection was possible. I belief it was only a fluke last time, where I was surfing maybe three minutes and then rebooted the device again to put the sim back in my phone. That sucks. I am still looking for a data plan and AT&T is not an option because I was really unhappy with their service the last couple of years.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
Unfortunately, in the US, your only two options are going to be AT&T or T-Mobile. With the latter, you would need to pick a data-only plan.

You could go with an MVNO, such as Straight Talk, which resells AT&T and/or T-Mobile service, but they will still be the underlying carrier. And since, AFAIK, no MVNO offers plans for data devices, any plan you do get would come with unusable voice service. Not to mention the fact that they all have BS "unlimited" plans that will throttle you after about 2GB. So in the end, it would be cheaper to get service directly from AT&T or T-Mobile anyway.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drozeira:
I have €22.5/month with 4gb onde max speed of 5mbps.

I'm in Portugal and the carrier is Optimus.

I'm very happy with the speed I get and the 4 GB is just enough.

"New" T-Mobile version

Google is now selling a "new" T-Mobile version of the N7 here: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_32gb_hspa_tmo

Probably a long shot, but what do you think the chances are of the Monthly 4G plans working in these?

Haaahahaah!! Good one lol. On topic. I'm in the UK and just waiting for my giffgaff simcard. £7.50 for a 1GB. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
Interesting...

Seems kind of stupid to me, and it's clearly just a marketing gimmick. The only difference between the AT&T and TMO versions are the included SIM cards. They should just include both inside the box and be done with it.

Anyway, did you see the note on the AT&T model?

I wonder what a qualified postpaid plan includes.... If the $15/month/250MB plan is included, than that would pay for the first 6.5 months (over 25% of the contract).

Solavei on Nexus 7 & Droid 3

I'm interested in how this was done. I came across this thread specifically b/c i was searching for solavei solutions for my N73G.

*How do you get past the IMEI verification on solavei's website for a SIM? Do you just have to activate with a GSM phone and then swap the SIM over?

*N7 uses a MicroSIM, Im assuming this means we have to cut the standard sim? recommendations?

**This would also help with my Droid 3, since it's technically a verizon CDMA device, but it IS suppose to be a "Global" phone with GSM bands 850 / 1900 for Solavei to work, so I'd like to keep that option open of swapping solavei between devices if I need.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kermyb123:
Here in the US, I would consider "Internet On The Go" They are an MVNO of Sprint. They offer direct plans which are $5/mo and 3.9 cents per MB, not too bad for light use... You can also pick up service from them at Walmart where they have a partnered deal to offer refill cards @$45 which give you 4GB of data that last a year OR 8GB of data for 30 days.

The only down side is it seems to be 3G, but for 95% of what I do that speed is fine - It's probably the direction I'm going! Oh and this is for a MiFi device so you can use it with your nexus and up to four other devices at the same time. :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
This thread is discussing the best deal for data on the Nexus7

3G model

. The people who bought this device paid extra for the integrated 3G modem, which requires a SIM card, therefore disqualifying any Spring MVNOs. Sure people could get a MiFi device or tether to their phone - but that defeats the purpose of why people wanted this particular device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyanderson:

[Nexus 4 General] Aerolith514:
Own and love the Galaxy Nexus, I think 16gb is well more than enough storage for on-the-go music and app combination.

The two major issues I have with it however are:

1) The camera quality.

I find the image quality quite grainy after taking photos. The camera just doesn't cut it for me. However I'm hoping that the 8MP camera on the Nexus4 (I know megapixels isn't everything) will solve that issue.

***2) THE SPEAKER LOUDNESS***

I think of the old Christmas poem "Night Before Christmas"...

"'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even the Gnexus at max volume".

That'll be the deciding factor on if I'll be picking up the phone or not, in all honesty.

Love you XDA,

-Aero
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
Well its not release yet, but we can take a few clues.

Base on this review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a24txcFBWyE

the LG Optimus G have very weak speaker, saying that when on its back, one might even miss a phone call. Although that doesn't necessarily mean it will be the same for the Nexus 4.

As for camera, I have no proof that the 8MP camera of this device is similar to one on the Optimus G for ATT, but maybe if it is, we can look at those sample shots posted online. I think the general consensus is its not that great and might have trouble under low lighting. Overall I think it will be at least better than the current 5MP which is enough for me.

Just wait for feedbacks from other buyers before making the purchase.

PS. I still laugh at the fact when the Galaxy Nexus was just released people claimed its 5MP camera is better than the SII camera, even with side by side pictures comparison.

I'm disappointed it won't support GLONASS, base on the specs from the PlayStore.
[Nexus 4 General] kotaro_14:
The camera uses a Sony BSI Sensor, so I'm sure images will be crisp and sharp. Not sure what aperture it uses though, hopefully a f2.4/2.6.
[Nexus 4 General] -juanito-:
f2.4

i really love Nexus 4 but One X camera is amazing
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
Well, just a very very simple thought: they advertise with their new feature, that panorama thing .. that's one selling point.. so the camera quality MUST be good, right?

Oh man, but I just remember Apple's Maps service ... hmmm.
[Nexus 4 General] djpharoah:
Here's hoping both are better on the Nexus 4 as they are both somewhat of a disappointment on my Galaxy Nexus for me.
[Nexus 4 General] samarth1:
From Josh Topolsky's initial impressions, he stated that the camera performance was a big improvement, and that Google has specifically concentrated on low-light performance. I have high hopes that a Sony sensor, let alone a BSI sensor, leads to respectable if not admirable image quality. If the f/2.4 aperture is an indication, we could easily see this sensor beat the GS3 in terms of how much light it lets in, but it all comes down to how aggressive noise correction is, which is entirely software, and affects image sharpness the most.
[Nexus 4 General] KentuckyHouse:
While the camera is a big deal to me (a BIG deal), what I'm more worried about is the speaker/earpiece output. As everyone knows, the GNex speaker and earpiece aren't great (that's putting it mildly), so I'm really hoping this phone has great speaker/earpiece volume. Do I expect it to rival my SIII? No. But being able to actually use the phone as a PHONE in a crowded place and being able to hear would be nice. :)
[Nexus 4 General] shea-bird:
According to Cnet- The battery life and Camera are the two weakest points of the Optimus G (ATT)- its unbelievable how the google nexus phones have sourly disappointing cameras year after year.

It is becoming a HUGE feature for people- and while software can correct come issues- hopefully it does, it has to have a good sensor to start- which the LG should.

I guess we will have to wait for a proper review to get some camera samples. that is def make or break for me. coming from a One X, so camera bar is set rather high
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Sony makes the camera for the legendary iPhones so I don't see why they would disappoint now.
[Nexus 4 General] Aerolith514:
Wonder how it would compare to the Lumia 920 O_o
[Nexus 4 General] hsrn:
ATT Optimus G has 13 mpx camera and LTE.

maybe that's why google decided to go without the 13 mpx camera and without LTE.

the 8 mpx camera which is also used in the sprint version is supposed to be better.

and leaving out LTE saves battery.
[Nexus 4 General] lookitzjohnny:
you got it reversed, Att model has the 8mp camera while the sprint version has the 13mp camera.
[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:

[Nexus 4 General] shea-bird:
I dont expect the 920 to be great...the 900 was overhyped with the ziess lens and was garbage. the 920 will have GREAT low light photos- that much we know...as for regular performance, I think it will still be slightly below the top notch camera phones (S3, OneX, iphone, etc)

Praying the nexus 4 has a great camera...if so, I will snatch it up.
[Nexus 4 General] -juanito-:
and what about capture speed ?
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
The One Series camera's and the Lumia 920 have a lower aperture f2.0 which is better suited for low light conditions. Now I'm pleased with the HOX camera, this has to be on par at least for day shots as I rarely take that many low light shots.

Be interesting to know what BSI module it uses so we can make comparisons!
[Nexus 4 General] Reviewers:
I hope the camera is good same as speakers..
[Nexus 4 General] timlambo:
I think it will have good sound quality. As for the camera I have a bad feeling that it will not match/beat some of the top cameras in some smartphones. That camera lens looks a little small(size is not everything), and that is why I feel the low light performance will be sub par.

But all that said, it will not stop me from buying it, as it is still a great deal, and almost a steal.
[Nexus 4 General] shea-bird:
I know there are sample photos floating around, but does anyone know of a repository of pictures taken with the nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] Lockeskidney:
im really shocked google didnt push this with all the optimizations being done to camera software to capture multiple frames (or pictures during video)

Not that I've seen but the design doesn't bode well. It's a rear facing slit on the back of the case that sits flush (seals nearly) against a flat table.

And I was asking for camera samples from the front facing camera of the optimus G
[Nexus 4 General] explosivequack:
But all phones with speakers on the back fire it into the table, even if some do it less. I think they did the speaker flat because they assume people will put it screen down, and still want to keep the ergonomics.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Hope they are going be good
[Nexus 4 General] haydonxda:
Sure, and I think they're all duff. Especially when coupled with a weak speaker. Can't realistically use it as a hands free speakerphone in a vehicle. More like close-to-head-but-ear-free. I also never put my phone screen down - can't see the display when you have a call/notification and risk scratching the screen.
[Nexus 4 General] Whyzor:
SlashGear's review mentions f2.4 aperture, but I don't see anywhere else confirming this. Anyone know of another source that confirms the lens aperture? If it's true, then that would be very good news because it's the same as the iphone 5's lens. If it's a Sony BSI sensor, then that means it'd also be similar to the iphone 5's specs.
