Prepaid Sim for France

Hi,

I'm traveling to Paris from the US next month and was wondering if anyone could recommend the best way for me to be able to use my Nexus 4.

Ideally, I would like to have a micro sim before I leave so I can use my phone when I land. Has anyone had success with a specific company for this?

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 General] Looloup:
Most of the major operators (Orange, SRF, Bougytel) have prepaid plans - and there are now also other operators (Sosh, Zeroforfait) running virtual networks over these operators.

There are also some pan-European virtual operators like this: http://www.europasim.com/en_GB
[Nexus 4 General] RDJ987:
Thank you.

Since yesterday, new accessories on french Play Store

http://android-france.fr/2013/04/04/nexus-4-nouveaux-accessoires/
[Nexus 4 General] BalamWeb:
yes but only headphones, travel charger, USB/µUSB cable and still not the ORB
[Nexus 4 General] Looloup:
Option Modem ....

I have a plan from Zero Forfait, where I have 'unlimited Internet' (I am not sure how unlimited this actually is - and the exact plan is no longer available.) - and I would like to share the connection with my tablets (Nexus 7 and Nexus 10). All three are on Android 4.3.

I have contacted Zero Forfait - who have told me that the option modem is enabled for me, but I do not get it to work.

My tablet can connect to portable hot spot - but when I try and browse or anything there is no connection.

I have also tried pairing with Bluetooth and enabling the option on the tablet to use connection for internet sharing - but again trying to browse and there is no connection.

Some scenarios ....

SIM card........Phone............OS....Tablet.......Shared Connection

Zero Forfait.....Nexus 4.........4.3.....Nexus 7....Not working

Zero Forfait.....HTC Desire.....2.3.....Nexus 7....WORKING .... therefore my SIM card is supporting option modem

Free...............Nexus 4.........4.3.....Nexus 7....WORKING .... therefore my Nexus 4 is supporting option modem

Has anyone else experienced this problem (even with a different operator) ? Am I missing something obvious (apart from moving to FREE)?

Hi,

Does anyone can drop me the extracted file gps.conf (system/etc/gps.conf) from a french OTA 4.4? I don't know if this conf file is modified depending on the location. In fact it should be but in reality i think they don't care about it.

I was unable to apply the OTA because my gps.conf was modified so i disable the update for this file (and for my personal bootanimation). Everything is working good now but i am using my older gps.conf. GPS is still working good but if they updated the GPS i could get some adjustments to do.

Thx.

=== FR ===

Salut,

Est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait me passer son fichier gps.conf (system/etc/gps.conf) de la màj FR 4.4? Je ne sais pas si ce fichier est modifié selon le pays mais il devrait l'être même si je doute qu'il le soit.

Je ne pouvais pas faire la màj car mon fichier gps.conf était modifié, du coup j'ai désactivé la vérification/màj de ce fichier (ainsi que pour ma bootanimation personnelle). Tout fonctionne très bien, même le GPS, sauf qu'il tourne avec mon ancien fichier. Donc s'ils ont mis à jour le GPS j'ai surement quelques petites modifications à apporter à mon gps.conf.

Merci.
[Nexus 4 General] Looloup:
Okay - attached is the version from my Stock 4.4 - Nexus 4.(I had to zip it to upload)

Please post back your updated version - and what you experienced after the change

Presumably you will change the NTP server to the European (or even a French) address for faster lock ....
[Nexus 4 General] Eij:
Thanks, i will check this when i will get the time. But yes i will change the NTP server.

You could just copy/paste the content of the conf file but you found how to upload it so it's ok.:good:

According to : http://www.chronopost.fr/transport-express/livraison-colis/pid/719

I don't see Google not having the option and playing the cheap bastard :D
[Nexus 4 General] fye85:
I ordered a 8go and my order wasn't shipped too
[Nexus 4 General] Pingus25:
Don't forget to open the parcel before signing the proof of receipt. Chronopost is a terrible delivery company. Had several items stolen when used their service. It's unlekily you'll get your phone stolen since there's only one item in the parcel but you never know.
[Nexus 4 General] fye85:
Good advice, thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Hydro8:
Maybe for 10e you have saterday delivery

How many 16GB have been sold in France?

More or less.
[Nexus 4 General] fye85:
More than 1 less than 200 000
[Nexus 4 General] pack21:
Did you open this thread for any usefull information we can catch, or for trolling about other users questions?

.
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
I'll rather vote for dumb question.

Unless Google goes public with numbers (which is very unlikely looking how it went), no one is going to be able to answer your question ...
[Nexus 4 General] pack21:
I didn't ask the correct numbers, only an estimate of what people think.

I don't think be very difficult to have an idea, doing a little search on Frandroid and HFR, I think France haven't had more than 250 16GB at most 500 16GB units.
[Nexus 4 General] Niihau:
Mine is in "HUB CHILLY" (Chronopost facility) since 9:31pm last night

16GO commande 09.25 13.11
[Nexus 4 General] loscassapalle:
My order is still pending, it's been placed at 9.30
[Nexus 4 General] ludovicien:
Although my parcel is out for delivery in Paris now, I won't get it, just a 'dans votre absence' slip left in my letterbox meaning I can pick it up at la Poste tomorrow. I AM at home but this changes nothing as:

1 Chronopost does not have my door entry code or intercom details (unlike Google, who knows what I just ate for breakfast)

2 Chronopost does not 'do' stairs

This is a first-world problem, isn't it?
[Nexus 4 General] LaBuenaVida:
I hope that they will have more phones at the second batch
[Nexus 4 General] joyu12:
My school is blocking VPN's so i'll have to hope it works on my phone or pray that they're still available when i get home tomorrow if they're made available.
[Nexus 4 General] ludovicien:
Got it! In my hand now.

I would like to apologize to Chronopost for my cruel comments earlier.
[Nexus 4 General] loscassapalle:
you know we hate you, right? :)
[Nexus 4 General] Niihau:
Just got mine from Chronopost !
[Nexus 4 General] UltimateGoblin:
Which model did you get? Mine has still to be shipped as of now!
[Nexus 4 General] fye85:
Was just with the SAV of google (the conversation was in french). Very quick answer and very kind btw.

Tell me my commande is processing and it ll be dispache within 24H.

When i ordered the N4 i first had a credit card error and i had to update my credit card informantions.

so i ll have it after this weekend it seems (better i have a lot of things to do)
[Nexus 4 General] UltimateGoblin:
Hope this applies to me as well :D
[Nexus 4 General] fye85:
Call them and see by your self mate :)
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
For those who got their N4, was it the 8 or 16G version ?

Did you order the bumper too ?
[Nexus 4 General] t4ils:
I ordered the 16 Go at 9h37, no bumper. (I checked the tickbox to link my google account to the phone).

Yesterday I received a shipping email at 20h05

Chronopost delivered the phone this morning at 11h13 but I was not here.

It seems that the package is waiting in my local post office.

Can't wait to get it this afternoon ^^
[Nexus 4 General] fye85:
héhé you cant you ll have to wait until tomorrow :p

"don't shoot at me i'm only the messenger" dure a caser ca ;)
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Does anyone know of any instances where a bumper has been shipped?
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
Pretty sure you can get it the same day.

I remember once having a Chronopost status like that on the tracking record, I left work early to get back home quickly, get the notice in the mailbox and go to post office before closure.

Hoping to get a mail this evening :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] Kiiv:
Some french first impessions ??? ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Craven68:
I have to wait too ! my nexus 4 will be shipping tonight...so i hope i can get it saturday ! but i think it will be monday :'(

( c'est marrant que tout le monde parle en anglais, alors qu'on est que des français sur ce sujet xD )
[Nexus 4 General] joyu12:
On est forcement sur un forum Anglais :P
[Nexus 4 General] UltimateGoblin:
I'm pretty sure in the forum rules it's stated that english is the only language allowed (just try and figure out the mess otherwise... :D)

EDIT: I confirm, English language is mandatory (Forum rules, point 4)
[Nexus 4 General] sebennett:
My 16go shoud ship tonight....no bumper and no problem for ordered it :p
[Nexus 4 General] WaveRapture:
Omg i wanted to order the 16Gb version at 9:00 13th but i was in school and had just my sgs2 to do so... Aaannd it f***ing bugged like hell... Now i dont even have ordered the 8 GB

Any french guy near Paris who wants to sell it to me? ( 8 or 16gb)

Wave
[Nexus 4 General] big_adventure:
Google just crushed me on this.

I sold my GS3. I give it up tomorrow, so it goes stock tonight. I checked the Play store site at 8h00 on launch day, and it still said coming soon. I got an email from Google at 9h39 saying the N4 was available. I hit the Play store at 9h41 and it said coming soon. I kept checking all day and it never said anything other than coming soon.

So now I'm out my GS3, my wife broke my GalNex months ago, she's using my Nexus S, I sold my GalS2. The only phone I have left is an iPhone 4S, which I'm now basically stuck with until Google decides to stock up.

VdM.

Hi,

To any happy N4's owners,

Could you please test if you can listen FM radio with a FM app like "Spirit FM"?

Because there is not yet evidence of this feature, except from LG website.

Thanks !

Too bad it was a satisfaction survey following my second order cancellation (first one was silent due to buggy website) :crying:

A friend of mine ordered two pieces but it hasn't been shipped yet, and I was worried that maybe it's because he made a bigger order..

Does somebody know when they will sell the phone in Auchan?
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
Did anyone who received it had the bumper in the same order ?

Don't bored yourself.

No suprises here, Like my dumb question yesterday...250-500 16GB units to each one FR, ES, DE....maybe more to UK.

In US all fine. We'll have to wait other side get served.

Pre-orders, is the solution.
[Nexus 4 General] Pingus25:
Oh god, I haven't received any mails, shipment details or backorders, but I'd put my money on a backorder at this point.

I guess all the people who haven't received any tracking number yet are screwed and sadly, you can't count me in.

Will the PhoneHouse sell the phone (simlock free?)

I really want this phone
[Nexus 4 General] Pingus25:
holy moly, I just got my mail saying my order was shipped.

Was about to burn those 350€ on hookers and weed.
[Nexus 4 General] fye85:
From an other thread

So, I have another update, after received the backorder email I called the Play store. They said it looks like my order is successful and I should be receiving a tracking number today. Either the backorder email was some mass email that went to some people that it wasnt supposed to or they are not filling in the Play store employees. My guess and hope is that the email was wrong and the data they can look up at the store is more accurate.

[Nexus 4 General] XpLoDWilD:
Ahh, just got the shipping confirmation! :D

To the ones that were shipped yesterday already, did your package also was shipped around 19:30? Did you get it the next day or the day after?

If I'm lucky and if they deliver on Saturday, I should get it by then, but it would be a shame if it only arrived on Monday :(
[Nexus 4 General] UltimateGoblin:
Shipped!!! Will it ever make it before next week in your opinion?
[Nexus 4 General] Astralgeist:
Hello ! I'm in the same case : my N4 was shipped today at 19:30pm. The parcel is now somewhere in France. Remember It's chrono 13 so... it must be delivered tomorrow before 13pm. I work for a company and when we ship a chrono at the evening, my customer get the goods the day after.
[Nexus 4 General] xdafann:
Wow I got this on my hands earlier and I must say I'm really impressed. It's Much better in the hands than the S3 and the screen was really nice. Vibration was quite different from Samsung's too and was quite nice, not too violent.

But above all,its speed was astonishing.

Looking forward to getting mine ! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
It seems backorders are for people having more than one device / order ...

So, basically, I have to wait because their fu*king website was bugged and ordered 2 times, even if already cancelled the dupe order ?

Did the people getting their device had no dupe order ?
[Nexus 4 General] Astralgeist:
Some people from frandroid forums here ? It seems like there is a serious mess with frandroid since this morning so I'll take my headquarters here for a while.
[Nexus 4 General] fbi2010:
frandroid is down, google is liar...

as many of you, i got my mail telling me 'lucky guy, shipping in 3-5 days is free but will be in 3 weeks'

but i must be happy 'you have a special gift for you only : press here to earn your money back complimentary of google inc.'

WTF, really stupid and 'amateur' ! hope they will get enough money to pay debt to french state : 1.7 billion euros !!!!!!! thanks to canard enchaine !
[Nexus 4 General] Astralgeist:
I had 5 nexus on my google wallet and decided to cancel 4 orders. Maybe it was a good idea because i'm with the lucky ones right now !
[Nexus 4 General] johnavengers:
yes and i get it this morning, it's really amazing !!!
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
Ok, so it isn't related to multiple orders, thanks for clearing that ! ;)

(I had 2 orders and cancelled the last one on launch day after seeing it - because I founded weird to get 2 orders confirmation mails, I wanted only one device- )

So we can conclude, Google :

- Pick randoms order to ship them (not time related)

- Can't do basic math (e-commerce website stock not in synch with actual stock)

- Can't make marketing surveys (production vs expectation)

- Doesn't know how to communicate (2 days to realize they don't have any stock ...)

Up to you to complete the list ...

I'm interesting too, 'cause friend of mine will be in Paris next week and I've asked him to buy N4 for me from any retail store.

I can see from Chronopost that mine has been sent for delivery at 7am. I have a meeting in a bank from 11am to 11:30am.

I already know when the delivery will take place.
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
Hey Guys,

did any of you who got the backorder mail contact google regarding the delivery time?

Is it really going to be full 3 weeks or there's a slicht chance of getting the device earlier.

I can see, that it's not only German problem with those s****y backorder mails.
[Nexus 4 General] Bertrand_GR:
Mine just been delayed for 3 weeks... I ordered it before it was sold out, it's a shame for Google to delayed ANY order passed before the phone was sold out... Didn't they count the number they could ship before ?

I'm very disappointed about this, and it's not the free shipping charge which would arrange anything. I just have to wait now ...
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
They simply don't know sh1t when you call them, again, they fail to deliver (in this case, customer support).

I sent them a flaming mail to let the rage go out (in french sorry) :
[Nexus 4 General] Bertrand_GR:
Let us know about the outcomes of your mail. I hope they'll answer honestly
[Nexus 4 General] loscassapalle:
I wasn't at home when chronopost passed. I can pick it at a post office tomorrow after 16 (the post office close at 16.30)...that's a bit strange
[Nexus 4 General] UltimateGoblin:
Everything as planned: I finished the meeting at 11:15 and at 11:17 (I was on my way home), Chronopost was at my place. As I saw that coming, I had left a piece of paper with my phone number on it, so they called me, I asked them to wait 2 minutes and I got the phone right in time.

Now unboxing and a full charge... they may be Li-ion polymers, but hey, I still don't trust this completely.

And the answer :
[Nexus 4 General] Bertrand_GR:
It's me or they just don't answering to any questions you just asked ?
[Nexus 4 General] XpLoDWilD:
I bet they received 2000 emails like yours, and they just can't answer to each manually.
[Nexus 4 General] shawin09:
He didn't ^^

And, I'm so disapointed...

I'm back on my old Desire...
[Nexus 4 General] Bertrand_GR:
I know they've received lots of mail, that's why I personnaly don't send any because it's a waste of time, for them like mine
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
They don't because they either don't have / were not provided the answers, or can't publicly get into details, otherwise it would reveal how much they completely screwed their product launch.

If i have to wait one more week, with the free shipping, that's fine.

But three weeks, no way, they have to at least offer the bumper in that case ...

What pisses me off is the completely randomness of their order process. There is simply no logic ...

How could a guy ordering 5 device after you, got 3 processed and shipped ? ( all except 1 probably ending on eBay or CraigList )

Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad a people receiving theirs, just toward Google process ...
[Nexus 4 General] jhkerhfijrehjigeree:
you're that mad cause you can't have your phone in time ?

really ?
