Thanks for the information. What do you mean by wonky? having issues with the characters? are messages not been received? are messages arriving halfway? are you using a third party sms tool or the one with the nexus 5? Did you have any issues getting a sim card for your phone or did you just...

good idea, but it brings its own set of problems Thanks, but the data offered is 2G and provides major charges when calling japanese carriers. I am also planning on moving to Japan permanently, so having an U.S. phone contract becomes more difficult to manage.

Hello everyone. I am very confused from the information I get in multiple websites. If I have a U.S. Nexus 5 and I will be moving to Japan in the next few months (permanently). What company should I go with b-mobile, e-mobile, Softbank or Docomo? I am interested in getting good LTE speeds and a...

Thanks for your reply. I helps clear a lot of things up. I will be posting some more questions under a different thread to keep this one on topic (specially considering other people that might be interested in this information). Thanks again.

Thanks, so I am wondering as the U.S. Nexus 5 only offers the LTE band 1 and 41, would I experience less speed or less reception on LTE?

Hello everyone. I will be moving to Japan in the next few months. As I currently own an U.S. Nexus 5, I was curious as to what issues I might encounter when using it with Softbank. As I understand Softbank uses LTE bands 1 and 3 and the U.S. Nexus 5 supports band 1, so I am assuming it should...

I am curious if anyone knows how to change what is displayed when going to settings > about phone > regulatory information. How do I change that? Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Re: [RoM][XWLS8-4.1.2-JB][SHOstock3 v2.0.1] [01/27/13]["Churning Butter"] everything great so far. dont know why I no longer get the option to switch keyboards(multiple languages), but everything else is fine. Thanks for your work. Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium

Got to say, great ROM. I wanted to get back to stock and this ROM works as such plus more! Thanks for your hard work. I am wondering, is there a way to change the messaging shortcut to google voice in the AOSP lock screen? I try adding it, but no change.

For anyone looking at this thread. I just came back. My experience was that most areas have edge and the strip next to the falls have 3G. I called at&t to block international roaming and also blocked roaming on my phone. WIFI was available in some areas but mostly I could just head to the strip...

Good idea, but I plan on geocaching. I will probably pull the sim, nothing safer.

I will set my phone to not roam, but a bit afraid.

I was checking ATT and it is $5 for the canadian add-on and $25 for the first 120 mb. Dont want to run the risk of adding $60 to my bill for 2 phones as they dont prorate.

Thanks, from what I am seeing most plans run about $10 for sim and $20 for 20mb on average. Thats $60 (2 phones) for 4 days if I stick to minimal usage. I am going to try my luck with wifi spots and no sim card on the phone.

So the question is, how can I prevent roaming? I use AOKP by task.
