Rogers Nexus S works on AT&T 3G Network? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've purchased a Nexus S sold by Rogers, it was a steal! I got it for $305.93 (that includes tax and shipping)!
I was wondering if I could use it on AT&T 3G? I know the bands are not going to be a problem, so besides that and the APN settings.

This chart is pretty comprehensive... and up until 2004 it was called "Rogers AT&T Wireless" so it'll work.

Will Confirm this too.
My is an original Rogers, that was being used in US (ATT), then sold to me (rogers again)
3G works fine on both carriers. Mine is the I9020A.
Heeter

I have the white 9020a and it also works on AT&T. I needed to flash a new radio (KB3) in order to reach uncapped data speeds.

Thank you everyone, i'll update you guys on which nexus s i'll get in the mail. I hope its rogers!

it also worked for china NETCOM 3G, 2100 HSPA

Need a phone recommendation

Okay, I have searched for several weeks and would like a recommendation.
I currently have a Kaiser (AT&T Tilt). I have tried several ROMs with the phone over the past few years, but I clearly need to replace my phone. I live in an area that practically eliminates having any carrier other than AT&T or Verizon. The service with Sprint & T-Mobile is terrible.
I would like a phone running Android. I have tried the Kaiser port and enjoyed using it more than any ROM I have tried. I am fully aware that this poses a problem, as neither AT&T or Verizon currently have an Android phone.
As far as I know, I have three options ...
Purchase a T-Mobile phone (G1 or MyTouch) and use it on AT&T, giving up any hope of using the 3G network.
Purchase the Google Dev phone and use it on AT&T, again giving up any hope of using the 3G network.
Purchase a Rogers G1, pray for a root kit, and hope that it works correctly on AT&T's networks.
Is there anything I am missing? I'd really like to upgrade in the near future, but as far as I see I'm between a rock and a hard place.

I'd take the Hero in a heartbeat ... but is there any way to get one in the US before late fall/early winter?
Not sure about that
But you can always buy it from overseas

Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 and T-Mobile 3g/HSPA+

I thought I would be able to find the answer to this with a simple google search or by searching here but it's harder than I had anticipated.
Basically, I want to buy another tablet since I sold my other two a while back (LG G Slate piece of crap and the first Galaxy tab 10.1 both having 3g).
I still have a MBB plan with T-Mobile so I wanted to get a 3g/4g capable tablet and was looking into the Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000.
I just wanted to find a DIRECT answer to the question: does it work with T-Mobile 3g/4g?
I may have found some hints toward my question but I needed a direct answer from all you experts; I'm just that kind of guy =/
Thanks!
As soon as I can confirm i'll be ordering from amazon.
Confirmed. The N8000 can get T-mobile 3G and only 3G if you are in an area that has T-mobile's refarmed 1900 frequency. No 4G.

This sucks >_>.
I couldn't wait so I placed my order with 1 day shipping haha.

Can you please clarify your reply. Are you saying it will only get 3G in the T-Mob refarmed areas.
Can you also explain what a T-Mob refarmed area is? I may be moving to the US soon and was considering purchasing a N8000 before I go and this may have an impact on my purchase.
Thanks

That is the W8 model they reviewed. (Canada only model)
Would that have something to do with it? I don't keep up on all the bands/frequencies that all the carriers all over use.
I really was hoping the S6 would move away from all these region specific models since they are managing the radios on their soc with Broadcom now.
You almost have to buy an iPhone if you travel internationally a lot. I don't know of any other phone that has everything covered by the radio.

The Sony Z3 sold in Taiwan has most world bands on it of LTE.
Samsung and HTC suck at this. They should at least release an international model on their own website for those who do not mind forking out full price to get an unlocked model with most LTE Bands for those travel often.
Still just GSM though right?
I thought the iPhone covered much more than that. Maybe I'm wrong..

LG V10 ALL VARIANTS -> CANADIAN Wireless Carriers and Mobile Network compatibility

For the Canadians folks willing to get the LG V10 like myself, I put together all the LG V10 variants and carriers+network compatibilities in this table/picture attached.
I hope it will help!
I got the H961N from expansys.ca and it works like a charm with Rogers. I love this phone so much! I just wish LG would allow us Canadians to participate in their promo they had.

seems that Rogers deploys LTE band 7 (2600 MHz), Bell and Telus don't. HOw fast is your LTE connection? I went to a Rogers store to try their sim card, and I got the LTE connection, but only 3Mbps, really, my 3G from bell delivers 10Mbps.
I just did a speedtest :
37 ms ping, 112 Mb DL, 41 Mb UL
Sent from my LG-H961N using XDA Free mobile app
LTE band 7 on bell network using the v10.

My D820 has never picked up anything above 2G

Hello everyone.
In november of 2016 my aunt bought this Nexus 5 (D820) from Amazon in USA and brought it here, it was brand new and factory unlocked. When I first got it I didn't flash anything on it for a few months, which means I used the factory 4.4 KitKat, and I noticed that it never picked up anything above 2G/EDGE (the small E icon). Right now I'm running Nougat and I've tested it with 3 different simcards throughout these two years and it simply never goes over 2G, I have never seen this phone with an H or H+ or LTE icon. It's either 2G or it simply drops signal.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Using the stock system
Flashing ALL the radios I found, through adb and through flashable zips
Tearing it apart to see the two antenna cables on both sides, they're there and well seated
Every single combination of Cellular Networks > 2g/3g/LTE, Roaming, no result.
I've tried different APNs, still no result
All 3 SIM cards worked with 3g right away on my previous phone, an S2
I honestly have no idea what to try next. Anybody could help?
Maybe, it's because your networks are using frequencies, which are not supported by the North America (D820) model.
See https://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-5-models-whats-different-between-two
D820 is for North America, D821 is for other countries.

The only thing that shouldn't work outside NA is 4G, my actual mobile carrier is Movistar, and it should work right away so..
