hey everybody. if this question is in the wrong place, mods/admins please move to correct thread section.
i am i need of phones that will work on the Rogers hspa 3g network in canada. i right now have a tmobile hd2 running android 2.3 and i got my wife a tmobile mytouch 3g running android 2.2. but from the information i found we will not get the 3g band because the phones 3g frequencies are wrong. can anybody help me confirm that? we right now use them but they are only on the 2g band and our reception is pretty terrible right now. if that is the case can anybody tell me if at&t phones operate 3g on the right frequency for rogers? thanks allot.
im specifically wanting to know if the Samsung Captivate S will work on rogers 3g. thanks!(but if somebody can tell me if most at&t 3g phones will work on rogers that would be greatly appreciated. thanks!)
chk Nexus S
Check out Nexus S ...might be available soon in canada for rogers
yeah the nexus s looks nice, but i still need to know if at&t and rogers operate on the same 3g band. because the tmobile phones we have do not work on the rogers 3g.....

Hello,
I have a T-Mobile G1 and I am using AT&T. I know that it cant use at&t's 3g because of the different brands but I was wondering. Would it be possible to use T-mobiles 3G but still be on AT&T network? That way you have 3G and you dont have to do any hardware modding or nothing.
Thanks guys
Bump please
Noob question sorry. My buddy has a GT-I9020T (900mhz?) running on wind, he wants to change service providers to rogers (850mhz?). If i were to root his phone and flash the rogers radio onto it, would he be able to connect to the rogers network with a rogers sim? afaik the answer is no but i just want to verify before i give him incorrect information.
No the radio is also hardware based but from what I understand you'll be able to get 2G {Edge} on rogers but not 3G and on Bell and Telus it won't work at all

That is correct, you will be able to connect to Rogers using GSM and only with 2g speeds. Forget about connecting with any network that strictly uses HSDPA like Koodo, as it will not work (not sure if Telus is the same). I've tested this myself - had to get rid of my i9020T because around my house Wind had a dead spot -_-
like the guys said, the frequencies are hardware based, so there is nothing you can do to change them. rooting won't help. you'd need to buy a whole new nexus s that has the correct frequencies for the Rogers network 3g bands.
I know this sounds like an utter newb question but Bell and all the resources I've checked are very ambiguous as to which bands it supports. I haven't been with them for a while and the resources online about Bell's network are ancient and unreliable. Just can't get a straight answer.
If so, I'm highly interested in getting a Sensation. Anyone wanna trade for an AT&T Atrix?
Unfortunately, it wont. Just like AT&T/Rogers, Bell uses 850/1900 frequencies for 3g, and this phone uses 1700/AWS. And for 2g, correct me if I'm wrong, but Bell uses CDMA technology for 2g, while AT&T, Rogers, And T-mobile use GSM for 2g, and this phone is a GSM phone.
This phone would work on Rogers, but from what I understand, it won't work on Telus or Bell.

Thank you. I thought I read something about Bell having rights to the 1700/AWS band but that it may only be used for their 2G network. So little accurate information about our ****ty Canadian providers.
I have two Atrix's because of an issue I had with the first one, but it's fixed now. AT&T and Bell Atrix.... maybe I'll switch back to Rogers and just foot the ETF. I don't know...
Hello folks.
I have Nexus S from T-Mobile since its release. I tried using it on Rogers, but to find out it's only 2G. Rogers does not support 1700 MHz AWS band. I know that only Wind Mobile and Mobilicity in Canada support it.
Is there a way to get this baby working on Rogers network at 3G speeds? Or is it a total miss on this one, and I'm gonna have to sell it to US folks for cheap?
If there is a way, please explain it thoroughly. I greatly appreciate any help, or link(s) to help!
Cheers,

Hello
I apologize now, i have searched but maybe im looking for the wrong answer
I have just bought a nexus s and rooted it via a great guide on here that works for all nexus s's the only problem i am having is now trying to find out what model i have as i bought it off ebay.
under the battery it says GT I9020
but with the A and T available i dunno which one i have.
I will provide more info if required but i dunno which one i have so i can flash the more up to date OTA (ie 2.3.5 + 6)
I apologize again and thank you for help in advance
Regards
Matt
Which carrier, can use 3G?
If ATT and 3G - a
ATT and no 3G - t
TMo 3G - t
TMo no 3G - a
Compare frequencies from your carrier with ATT/TMo if not in US.

ok so as i see it someone correct me if i am wrong
i have 3 g but i am in uk so
AT&T 3G = 850/1900Mhz
TMobile 3G = 1700/2100Mhz
I am on Three UK and they support 850/2100Mhz
Mock me if i am wrong but i am still confused to which model i have an A or a T
:-(
Check gsmarena.com
Att has 850-1900-2100
Tmo has 900-1700-2100
I hope this helps.
Can u take a picture of the model number in the back. Out of curiosity I wanna see how did that happen
Still both networks support 3G 2100Mhz and after checking what aerial mast is in my area with the network you guessed it its a 2100Mhz so i still have no idea on which model number i have :-(
someone give me a clue!
You have the at&t model. Even though they both have 2100mhz, Tmobile uses there 2100mhz specifically for the upload portion of HSPA+ while the 1700mhz is used specifically for the download portion, without both bands then your phone (any HSPA phone) will not register with Tmobile 3/4G network.
