Odd, since Solvei uses T-Mobile's network, and I'm using my Nexus 4 with a T-Mobile prepaid plan now. I activated the phone yesterday with the IMEI from the Nexus 4 and had no issues.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dralways:
From what I've read, mobile providers have to add IMEI's into their database for each model phone. Since the N4 is so new and Solavei is a smaller operation this probably hasn't happened quite yet.

There must be SOME way to contact them.

How to signup Nexus 4 with Solavei

Solavei support #: 866-765-2834

I got in contact with one of their independent reps through their facebook page. He told me that although the company hasn't updated their log of IMEI #s to reflect the new Nexus 4 phones the nexus 4 will work on their tmobile network just like any other GSM phone, especially since the last generation nexus is compatible. The IMEI check on their website is only so that they can ship you the correct size sim card (It is a micro-sim in the case of the Nexus 4). Here are the steps I took:

1. To begin signup of your Nexus 4 use this link.

2. Enter your zip to confirm coverage

3. [Important] Use the following IMEI # to get past the first step: 353022055115650 . This IMEI ensures you get the micro-sim card instead of a full-size sim.

4. Solavei asks if you want to port a phone # or have them choose a phone # for you.

5. Solavei asks for the usual personal information

6. Solavei mentions that it will be shipping you a "sim" but does not go into detail whether it is a micro-sim or not. Don't worry. The IMEI # you used earlier ensures it is a micro-sim.

7. Finish the process and a micro-sim card will be shipped out to you within 2 business days

Hope that helps.

Hey guys, thanks for the information. I plan on getting the Nexus 4 and using Solavei. Also if you sign up before the end of November, you get the first month free and the sim card free too. Most likely people won't get the Nexus 4 before the end of the month. Like me for example.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Avoid ponzi schemes next time? Solavei is the college campus version of the credit card booth.

Just saying. The $30 T-Mobile plan is a better bet, IMO.

This post is a perfect example of the ponzi. People litter forums with affiliate links, disguised as legitimate posts, hoping you will click and sign up under their name. Ponzi defined. Cute. They should be banned from forums, IMO.

Solavei in Miami

I'm getting 4g speeds with Solavei in Miami and paying a lot less than the crappy sprint I've been with for 3 years. Cute indeed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Lol, anything is faster than Sprint. Not sure what your point is, but enjoy your modern data speeds! Welcome!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZaelFaroe:
Mine works on Solavei. I called up ahead of time telling them that it was a microSD card and that I wanted to be able to activate my phone when it arrived. They used a spare IMEI for me, and today I activated my phone. It has been brilliant so far. Fast speeds, and I actually get signal at my parents' house (rural Alabama).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onishchuk4:
I totally disagree. I had the $30 plan up until yesterday when I activated my Solavei sim. Sure its $30, but the 100 minutes wasn't nearly enough for me. I tried groove IP, but call quality was too bothersome. Now I'm paying $49 per month and I get unlimited voice, text, and full HSPA+ speeds(4gb which is more than enough for me). $19 is not that much more. In comparison, you have to pay $70 to get that from Tmo's prepaid.

Plus, Tmo's prepaid support is absolute garbage. Rarely did I ever reach someone that spoke decent enough English. Almost every rep was rude. I had to call Solavei twice for help in setting up my service. The reps were very polite and helpful.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MizoSoup:
Problems down the road with non-Nexus 4 IMEI??

I've read on a few different forums that people are using IMEIs from other phones that use micro SIM cards to sign up for Solavei and that these people are not reporting any problems with the SIM. I also see on the Nexus 4 Facebook page that Nexus 4 is compatible with their network, but that people are having problems signing up for Solavei accounts using the Nexus 4 IMEI.

So, I called Solavei to ask whether enrolling with a non-Nexus 4 IMEI - just to get the micro SIM - would be a problem. The representative I talked to said that she doesn't recommend doing that. She claimed that using an IMEI that doesn't match your phone may lead to problems down the line. She did not elaborate on what these problems may or may not be, but it has made me hesitate in signing up for Solavei.

I am not interested in referrals or in making money from Solavei. I did some searches on XDA, Google and some other websites but could not find the answer to my question anywhere. What I want to know is whether I will potentially have problems in the future if I sign up for a Solavei micro SIM for my Nexus 4 (set to arrive in the next couple of days) using an IMEI that is not specific to my Nexus 4. And if yes, what could some of those problems be?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chROMed:
Get your facts straight about ponzi schemes.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme#section_2

12 enrolled members x $49 = $588

12 enrolled members = 4 trios. Payout to enrollee =$80.

Solavei earns $508.

Ponzi scheme fails when schemer is paying out more than what is coming in. This will never happen with Solavei's model.

Network marketing is legitimate whether you favor it or not.

Besides, do you honestly think that big corporations like tmobile, HTC, and zte would involve their companies with ponzi schemes? I'm sure their legal teams investigated the start up company before agreeing to affiliate themselves.

I have a Solavei account and choose not to sponsor anyone by the way, I only signed up for the service only because I still think it's the best value. Not interested in the headache of sponsoring, but I think it's unfair to label company incorrectly just because you dislike network marketing

I'm in miami areas. Kendall, miami beach, hialeah to downtown. Simple mobile aka tmo mvno data throttling sucked, building penetration and spotty signals everywhere. But that was 8-9 months ago. You've had good results? At friend's house in hialeah if i would turn around I'd lose signal

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Anyone know if they are sill having the free month and sim promotions?

Those of you that used iPhone imei to order microsim. I heard they needed to preprogram them. Does that mean they are programmed for iPhone instead of android devices? Or does it not make any difference?

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

When trying to set up an account I used my wife's iPhone imei in order to get the right sim. But then a pop up said to make sure that it is the correct imei of the phone that will be used to access their network. That got me thinking about provisioning access to towers based on imei getting disconnected or access denied because it doesn't match. This could potentially become an issue if towers are update or don't update and deny your device access to some towers, making network access spottier...

Anyone get a straight answer or any status as to when we can register using our nexus 4?

Meanwhile I've ordered a Tmobile sim kit and will activate on the $30 plan to check signal penetration in my area.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztmike:
I think Straight Talk T-Mobile is the better deal ..been reported on Howardforums that the usual "cap" before throttle is 5-10GB.

But I had to cancel T-Mobile service..their signal inside my house and basement was unacceptable half the time my N4 sat with no signal, so..switched back to ST ATT.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Their throttle policy is just like on their other tmobile mvno, simple mobile. Even tho att has great signal where ever I am, straight talk's or att's throttle is too random for me. I'd like att but can't afford it.

On topic: I spoke with a solavei rep to ask about what problems if any down the line using a dummy imei would cause. She said there was no quarrantee that the nexus would work. And there was a 50 50 chance there could be issues.... blah blah blah, why?

I asked her if I registered another imei now to activate my account and later down the line they added the nexus 4 to their compatible list, would I have to call in and have them change out my old imei to my new device's imei? She replied no just change out your sim to your new device and it should work...

So bottom line is there shouldn't be an issue. YMMV

LG Nexus 5 IMEI not compatible with Solavei ?!

I had the same problems getting a Solavei micro sim for my Nexus 5 as I did last year with my N4 due to the "incompatible" message. However, the IMEI # check during Solavei's enrollment process is only for the purposes of sending you the right sized sim card and unfortunately the phone is so new that Solavei hasn't updated their list of IMEI #s on the back end. However, The Nexus 5 (and N4) IS fully compatible and I've been using my Nexus 5 with no problems and great speeds.

The following instructions should help you bypass the incompatibility message to order your Nexus 5 micro sim card on Solavei.

I posted this in the other white housing thread, but that one is predominantly filled with GSM housing talk. If a mod finds this redundant, then by all means lock this one up. If not, enjoy everyone :cool:

For all my Verizon/Toro buddies out there in pain from a lack of a white housing... lookie lookie :)

Tada! It's painted with automotive paint from a local body shop. My friend's the manager so he helped me out a bit with this one, although I had to do all the prep work (dis/assembly, sanding, sticker application, etc.). It is painted with the Pearl White paint found on the Lexus IS350 and various pearl white toyota models. All the paint used are bumper spec (in other words, a flex additive was added to allow some flexibility in the paint, as opposed to something used to paint metal body panels), and everything was sealed in with a layer of clear coat.

The battery door isn't done yet, but should be done tomorrow. Shall update appropriately as time allows.

Edit: I'll try to get better pics when the sun comes out (if ever...). These indoor/gloomy pics don't do it justice at all!

Edit 2: All done, check it out! That's a chrome Samsung logo that's sealed in with the clear coat btw :cool:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
My apologies. For the materials
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
It's probably about $30 worth of materials... and I mean JUST materials.

If you want to do this on your own, you will need some VERY fine grit sand paper, disassembly tools, VERY good quality paint with clear coat, the Sammy sticker (from Germany), a paint booth with automotive grade oven, spray gun, a certified automotive painter, and way too much time on your hands.

The painting process used is what auto body shops refer to as "3-stage" paint. This is basically pearlescent paint, which requires multiple methods to acquire the "chameleon" effect. How you do that is beyond me, but the shop did a damn good job of it.

As for pics, I've updated the OP with the completed phone. It is niiiiiiiiiiice :victory:

Matte white would have been sexy as hell....phone still looks good with the pearl white.

Amen to that one. I probably would only do this again if I'm feelin' frisky with my cellular (don't act like you don't understand what I'm saying :eek:)

707: I might be able to get a "frosted" finish instead of the high gloss like this one next time around, but I would imagine the matte finishes would attract the dye from jean pockets way too easily. Wish I could've taken nicer pics to demonstrate the nice pearl effect though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Da Kine:
Yeah, I didn't really think about the whole jeans thing. Maybe a matte black, that would be cool as I well, maybe the next time have a lot of free time I'll try something like this.

The pictures aren't that bad, I do like the way yours turned out, but one thing that bothers me is the chrome Samsung logo on the back, it catches my eye and it looks good, but it sorta looks like it just makes the phone look bulkier and heavier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
I actually wanted a smaller Samsung logo, but that was the smallest I could find on eBay (there's only one dude who sells them, he's from Germany). Either way, I just really liked the way it was sealed by the clear coat so smoothly.

BTW, all the original logos (Verizon, Samsung, 4GLTE) that were embossed on the original cover no longer show. There isn't even a hint of a bump where they used to be :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ohiomoto:
Looks kind of cool, but I wonder how long it will hold up. I would think that it would chip really easily. Either way thumbs up for having the nads to do something you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
Guess I'll never know. I actually sold this phone to another Nexus user (he had his phone "stolen" from him, but I'll leave it at that for his privacy concerns). I felt kinda sad to let this go, because he didn't seem to to realize how special (at least to me) this particular Gnex was. Wasn't even aware that there is no such thing as a white Verizon Gnex except customs.

Oh well, it's gone now and I have some money to bring the gf to Vegas :victory:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TigerCourage:
Hi guys,

I really don't know how to put this but... I got myself a Galaxy S3 and I'm waiting for it to arrive now. This has been by far the best community I've been in. The Samsung Galaxy S1 is a LEGEND but mine is starting to give me some screen flickering problems and I decided to move on to the next awesome phone. I was waiting for the Nexus 4 BUT the picture quality from the camera is just bad, no external storage solution, glass on the back makes me think twice and I didn't really manage to get it since it sold in 7 minutes here in Spain. Because of the poor customer support Google offered on their launch, I've decided to give them poor support too by not getting their phone just to return the favour. Also, when I saw that Nexus S is not recieving 4.2 update (wich it can PERFECTLY handle) I was like yeah... sure Google, I thaught you were the best but you're just like every other manufacturer. My best choice was a new unlocked Galaxy S3 and in Spain there's a promotion that you get a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with your Galaxy S3 unit (AWESOME). The phone costed me 450€ brand new and unlocked from http://www.pccomponentes.com . One thing is sure, Galaxy S3 will get Android 5 or whatever Android version is after 4.2 while the Galaxy Nexus will recieve updates (has far less specs), I believe that the S3 will also. My contract ends next year in December so I have plenty of time to gather carreer points and get the Galaxy S5 for free or whatever awesome phone will come out in 2014.

I'm gonna sell this S1 legend to my ex-girlfriend since she's in love with it. I currently have CyanogenMod 10 STABLE with everything stock. It ROCKS, this phone has never been that fast.

Last of all, I'd just like to thank EVERYONE in this community for making this possible, for making such awesome roms and kernels. I really enjoyed flashing with you guys, you guys are the best! Special thanks to pawitp and stratosk who made my phone FLY for this time long.

Ok. It appears a lot of threads are popping up and its all about kernel crashing. I dont know what's causing it, but I can tell you not to flash a Rom after the update. First restore the RUU, this way you won't have to worry about fail Rom bootings on custom rims and kernels.

Again, just a warning.

>RUU to stock

>Reroot and unlock bootloader

If you ruu to stock, why run the ota update???
[HTC One V] Curiousn00b:
Go check the threads with problems. The OTA update is 20MB, do its not a Rom. It patches a couple files and extracts some firmware. So restoring the RUU would be before the patches and OTA firmware.

Right. Read your message ahole. It says ota then ruu. Newb.

[HTC Desire S] premsrj:
There can be a lot of reasons.

Are both of them running stock ROMs?

If it is, then that is your answer. Sense is just too heavy. It won't leave much RAM to other apps and processes and it has a lot of optimizations to keep the battery use small.

If they are running custom ROMs, then the answer is because the ROM on the XPeria is just better optimized.
