[Q] Data usage/frequency (3G) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got Nexus S on ATT and I have tried it with a TMobile SIM (got surprised because phone isn't locked...) but it works on 2G only.
I'm wondering if it will work properly (as 3G) in Europe. Does it cover 900 and 2100?
What is ATT's data frequency? Is it 2100?
thanks !

I'm gonna reply to my own topic: according with Wiki ATT uses 850 MHz and 1900 MHz for UMTS (3G) that means ATT (unlocked) phone will work as 2G in Europe (2100 MHz)
On the other hand, T-Mobile's frequencies are 1700 MHz (uplink) and 2100 MHz (downlink).
Does it mean a T-Mobile phone will be able to work properly on Europe's 3G networks (2100 MHz?

No 3g on tmobile!!!

I just figured this out after getting the plan, stupid me
Is their AAAAAANYWAY, i can get 3g on this phone though tmobile?
If not im going back to att
You have to buy a T-mo phone. Only T-Mo phone has 1700Mhz AWS band.
T-mobile phones use the 1700 MHz 3G band, as stated in the previous post. The AT&T Captivate doesn't support that band, it only supports 850 MHz, 900MHz 1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz 3G bands. The reason that you are able to use the Captivate on T-mobile at all is because the Captivate is a quad band GSM phone and that is what it can back down to for voice and 2G data if 3G is not available.
Next time just post in one spot... not 3 to 4 you will get a responce you just have to wait...

3G frequencies

I have a question about 3g frequencies among all carriers. If I have a device for example which supports these Frequencies
Device:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
And say I wanna use this device on T-mobile
T-Mobile USA 850/1900 for 2G/EDGE - 1700/1900 3G/HSPA
And I am only receiving EDGE on T-mobiles network is this because I am missing the 1700 frequency on my device? For all carriers listed 3g frequencies must the phone your using have both those frequencies to be able to get a 3g signal?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy s2 hd lte (SHV E120S) 3g does not work!!!!!!!!

Hello guys!
I just brought my Galaxy s2 hd lte which is known as SHV-E120s similar to att galxy s2 skyrocket in ATT.
It is unlock .
when i put my simcard, i always get G which is GPRS. This is so slow and it makes me crazy.
Thus, i look over google and find what my support 3g band which was.
2G Network: GSM 850/ 900 /1800/ 1900
3G Network: HSDPA 850/ 900/ 1900 /2100
HSDPA 900/ 2100
4G Network: LTE 800/ 1800 /2600
Also I look over T-mobile 3G frequency over google and found that
850MHz: GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA : 2G/3G
1900 MHz: GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 2G
1700/2100 MHz: UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+: 3G/4G
1900 MHz: UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+: 3g/4G
1700 / 2100 Mhz: LTE
Acoording to this chart. i know that i cannot use LTE.
However, i believe, it will support 3G which i have HSDPA 1900 and 2100 Mhz.
Based on m assumption, because of t mobile use weird signal AWS? thats why my phone does not work 3g?
i really want to solution for it. THE GSRM IS SO SLOW THAT I CANNOT EVEN POSE THINGS ON MY FACEBOOK.....
thank you.

UP !!!
Have exactly the same problem .... any solution to this ????
No it is not similar you're in the wrong subsection. Rocket HD is different. Also make sure your phone is unlocked and u need a different radio compatible with the T-Mobile frequencies

How compatible frequencies/bands with Tmobile?

This may have been answered elsewhere, but I can't find it.
Just trying to understand something. I'm wondering if I can get a better signal with Tmobile if I use a phone that has a 1900 band on the 4G network. What I'm saying is, it looks like the Skyrocket doesn't support Band 2 for LTE on Tmobile's network. Is this correct? Does flashing your radio affect which bands you use for 3G vs 4G?
I'm supposedly "in the service area" for LTE on Tmobile, is why I ask, but I have never gotten a signal until I go closer to town. I'm within the edge of the "coverage" map. I realize those maps are optimistic. Have always used this phone here, but ATT works for people and the towers are in the same location as far as I know. Rural area.
Thanks for any help :fingers-crossed:
Skyrocket's bands are:
i727(r) freg's:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100
Tmobile uses:
LTE Frequencies:
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
Lower 700 MHz band 12 (in development) / in service in selected areas
3G/4G Frequencies (WCDMA):
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
2G Frequencies (GSM/GPRS/EDGE):
1900 MHz PCS band 2

Does the Skyrocket have a 1900 LTE Band?

The reason I ask is because I'm on T-Mobile, and in my area, I can't get 4G inside some of the coverage map. I am assuming that I don't get Band 2 for T Mobile, which uses 1900 Mhz PCS. However, Tmobile also uses 1900 for 2G and 3G, which the Skyrocket supposedly supports. Am I missing something? Thanks. :good:
