Nexus s at&t

Will the nexus s unlocked be able to work on the at&t network?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Yes. At EDGE

yes, you wont get 3g though.

Ok so basically not worth almost 600 unless they ever get 3g on it

So the only reason to get the nexus S on at&t would be that it "might" have a working gps

There has to be cheaper ways to get GPS, ya think?

What about uk version on the 20th. It has to support at&t 3g. Is it just a modem or hardware issue with us version?

I have tested tegra 2 chipset and its nothing to brag about. It has the 2nd slowest gpu on the market out of all the 1 ghz phones. It only beats 1st gen snapdragons gpu. The quadrant benchmarks posted on the internet are not correct. Quadrant does not even support the cpu in its test. Samsung orion chipset is going to be the king of duel cores in 2011. Over 500 million triangles per sec. Tegra 2 claims 90 million triangles per sec but does it does not even perform at that level(maybe driver related).

Yup... not worth getting - its a snazzy Samsung I'm sure with all the same ol' issues as our phone currently.
Only benefit is running Gingerbread out of the box and a flash on the camera. Plus the modem is only for T-Mobile which means Edge for us AT&T folks.

any chance of a nexus s at&t like nexus one at&t? my personal experience, i will only get android phone of nexus series or with cyanogen support. otherwise, i'm going to have to wait forever for update.

Since Google has the full hardware specs on their site, I wonder if the Captivate will ever get Gingerbread? The Nexus S has very very similiar hardware specs.

I don't think the captivate will ever get gingerbread: we don't even have froyo.

the vibrant has the ATT 3g bands built in, has anyone seen specs that say this didn't happen on the Nexus S also??

Wait afew months and i'm pretty sure there will be a Nexus S for ATT like the Nexus One for ATT
if not... wait till next year around Q2 and we should be seeing some new phones out on ATT for android

Yea, was just about to post this myself...
Why will the phone only work with AT&T Edge, and not AT&T 3G?

So.....just to be clear this would not work with ATT 3G? Does that mean the Nexus one is only on EDGE for ATT as well?

According to the specs listed here --> http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/tech-specs - it will work with AT&T 3G...unless I am mis-informed regarding the band frequencies.
Anyone with a educated answer able to confirm this?

Yup.. I stand corrected - this should be a fully "open" device. So you can pay the 600 bones or jump to T-Mobile for $299.00.
Either way it should be the same phone (not ala Nexus 1 which had two flavors for the different networks).
From the commercials - it does appear to be Samsung hardware with JUST Google goodness inside. If thats the case - should be a wicked fast device that works!

[Q] Nexus S AT&T 3G?

Hey guys does anyone know if the the new Nexus S will work on AT&T at 3G speeds? Thanks all

nope, it will work on Edge only

Maybe in the future like they did with the nexus one
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

as skunz said there is always a chance of an AT&T version, but for now T-Mobile 3G only.

They should... They did with the nexus one. I will wait, because i made the mistake of buying the tmobile one, then a couple weeks later the at&t 3g on was announced. haha

is ATT 3G better than TMO
I am currently on ATT with IPhone 4. Ready to dump the iPhone and get the Nexus S.
Should I wait for the ATT to come out? Is ATT 3G better than TMO? Why?
Thanks

Is your contract over? I'm guessing not You'll be stuck with EDGE (2G) on AT&T if you decide to get the Nexus. Wait a month or two, they should have an AT&T version in the works, hopefully

T-Mobile 3G is 4x faster than ATT 3G.
And wtf guys?
I'm pretty sure the Nexus S natively supports AT&T 3G:
Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700
http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/tech-specs
"AT&T uses the 850/1900 MHz frequency spectrum for 3G data"
"T-Mobile exclusively uses the AWS 1700/2100 MHz frequency-ban"
Here we have 850, 1900, 1700, and 2100.
This is full 3g for ANYTHING. Whether it's T-Mobile, AT&T, Europe.. blah.

Quad-band GSM applies to EDGE/Voice only. HSPA bands on the phone are what you need to be looking at when determining 3g capability.

Ah ic. Guess I'm wrong then. Facepalm.

It seems as though history might repeat itself. I would be willing to bet this phone will (or already does) exist in an AT&T flavor. I wouldn't mind taking a break from the iP4 for a bit, especially with this device. The reason I gave up my 3GS was for the N1, and it was groundbreaking and revolutionary. I don't know if I have the same thoughts on this device (because dual cores will probably be unveiled at CES '11), but nonetheless, this phone is and will be epic in it's own right, and always will be. I'm excited as hell for this device.

lets hope Sammy snuck the ATT 3G bands in like they did with the T-Mobile Vibrant
http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/22/confirmed-galaxy-s-unlock-codes-are-stored-in-your-phone-vibra/

That was the 1900Mhz bands, which AT&T USED to use for 3G. They're slowly phasing it out, and only some metros where they originally rolled out 3G still use those bands. They mainly use 850Mhz for 3G.

This would be truly amazing.

Am I right in thinking that if I see a letter H over my bars, that's faster than 3G. Like 3.5G or something?

I actually rooted my Inspire, loaded the Euro DHD ROM and tried it on T-Mobile this morning. It worked, but no 3G, much less 4G.

So what would need to be done to get that type of thing to work fully? Something with the baseband or something right?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

It can't be done, the hardware is different, you won't get anything better that edge

i really need my inspire unlocked?

just wait a few months, the htc incredible S is supposed to coming to Tmobile and that device has same specs as the inspire except smaller screen and has FFC.

Unlock it and you're good to go! That is, if you don't care for 3G/4G
The Inspire's 3G radio is incompatible with the bands used by T-Mobile unfortunately

i want the big screen though lol. I have a g2 right now and I'm really just craving one of those huge screens. What about the Desire HD? would that work on TMO? or is there any other options out there?

your option is an hd2 on android

I don't get it. One of the reason I pick Inspire because it has the same 2G/3G band frequency like the Desire Z (G2). If Desire Z works then why not the Inspire?
Quote from GSMArena:
HTC Desire Z
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100, HSDPA 850 / 1900 - North America
HTC Inspire 4G
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900
Even the Incredible S is not 1700 band
HTC Incredible S
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100

The desire z looks like it does not work on t-mobile either. T-mobile needs 1700/2100 for 3g, which are not listed in the specs yet posted.

Can I use T-Mobile 3G devices on another carrier’s 3G networks?
You will not be able to roam with your T-Mobile 3G device on another carrier's 3G network. T-Mobile devices use the 1700Mhz/2100Mhz frequency band (for 3G) and it is specific to T-Mobile. You can however roam on another carrier's 1900Mhz frequency band using GSM. Likewise, another carrier’s 3G devices will not be able to roam on our 3G network.

yup basically, All you need to do is root the phone using either method. I tried it last night actually with my friends tmo sim. phone worked fine, except only edge service

But his question is specifically asking to use 3g on other carriers. Which the answer is no, even rooting won't help. It's a hardware limitation.

its something i have thought bout but why would you pay that much for a phone tht will only run on the Edge. Wait for the Pyramid to come out or get a Desire HD from ebay. its just the European version and has the bands ability. or like what has been mentioned before about the HD2 and load it with Android. Thats what Im using which is awesome becasue you can use the HSDPA speeds and 3G speeds and have that huge 4.3 inch display and still have a 1ghz snapdragon processor.. another awesome thing about it is that there is SOOO many roms you can load to customize your phone like if you wanted the basic Sense Rom like the inspire or the Evo there are plenty of roms for it, if yo wanted the MyTouch 4G rom then you can load it, if you wanted a Nexus Rom then you can load it, and its much faster with updates so you can even have Gingerbread already on your phone and they are even already gettting the bugs worked out of having Honeycomb on the good ole HD2. its overall a very under rated phone but thats because it had tons of issues with WinMo 6.5 but with ANdroid loaded on it I havent had problem one with it.. Im sure others have thier opinion but thats mine for it.. hopefully any info helps...

didn't you read the quote i replied too? i said nothing about being able to use 3g, infact, i said quite the opposite, i confirmed like others, 3g will not work. :rollseyes: gotta love ppl who don't read what you actually posted.

AT&T to Buy T-Mobile for $39 Billion USD
AT&T to Buy T-Mobile for $39 Billion USD
T-Mobile 3G (i think 4G also) Phones Will Require Replacement After AT&T Merger
SO buying this phone and unlocking it will give u a little while to use T-Mobiles services (maybe 2 years AT MOST) after that u will need an AT&T phone
but the trade off to being able to use T-Mobile for a while is that u will be at slower speeds for a while BEFORE AT&T destroys this grate service provider
can you say "Cingular" ?
so this is the best GSM phone as it will be merger proof !!

Internet settings?
hey guys i realize this is an older post but i rooted and unlocked my htc inspire and put in a Tmobile sim card and calls work fine and text messages too the phone automatically detected apn and everything but i cant get it to connect to the internet what should i do is there a way to set to 2g networks only? is that even required?

[Q] G2x vs Optimus 2x

Im planning to buy either one of this phone but something is confusing me about the 3G. I dont have a 4g plan only 3g. Will there be a difference in speed if i use 3g for both phone?
I copied this from gsm arena. This confuses me???
G2x HSDPA, 21 Mbps; HSUPA
Optimus 2x HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps

G2X is for USA T-Mobile bands 4g/3g, edge as well. The optimus 2X is for European bands on DT
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

It depends on where you are going to be using the phone. The 2X (P990) baseband chip is slower than the G2X's (P999) baseband chip. Having said that you need to buy the phone based on where you plan to use it. The P999 only works on 1700 and 2100Mhz 3/4G networks. The P990 works on 900, 1900 and 2100Mhz 3G networks. Be careful as there are some P999s marketed as 2X, such as in Canada by Wind Mobile. G2X is a proprietary T-Mobile name and only they can use it. So you should think in terms of P990 and P999, not 2X and G2X.

I was reading somewhere that tmobile's 4g is the same speed as wind's 3g

T-Mobile doesn't have true 4G. They have HSDPA+ which can get speeds up to 42Mbps but you never see these speeds in real life. The modem in the P999 (G2X) has a max download capability of 21Mbps. There is no definition of 4G so carriers like T-Mobile can call anything they want as 4G as a marketing ploy. Here in Thailand we have 42Mpbs speeds now but nobody has the balls to call it 4G. For example, TOT3G calls it 3.9G. So yes, it is very possible that T-Mobile's 4G is the same as Wind's 3G if Wind is running HSDPA+, which most carriers have deployed by now.

I'm in the USA. What coverage can I get with my G2X (P999) in Europe?
And does the suffix make a difference? Mine comes up as an LG-P999bn.

Almost all of Europe uses 2100Mhz so you are better off with a P999 (G2X) because it has a faster 3G radio (21Mbps) as compared to a P990 (7.2Mbps). Both phones will work in Europe on almost all (if not all) 3G systems.
"BN" is a new one. Haven't heard of that one before. Most of the suffixes don't mean much. They designate hardware revisions or refurb units. Other known suffixes are DW, DWU, DWDP and WA. You sure it is "BN?" The LG Updater doesn't show that suffix as supported as of yet. Probably because yours came with the latest v21e rom so there is nothing for the updater to updater yet on yours.

Does this unlocked LG G2 from Expansys work with AT&T LTE?

Please help me check out this http://www.expansys-usa.com/lg-g2-smartphone-32gb-black-unlocked-255286/? I'm looking to get it to use with AT&T. The specs doesn't talk about AT&T nor LTE. $499.99 is a great price if it can work with AT&T LTE. Thanks

It says D802 right on the page, so use that to see how it'll work on ATT.

Don't think D802 will work well on AT&T.. Doesn't have the 700MHz frequency which is the main LTE one on AT&T.. Should have no issues at all on T Mobile LTE..

If you aren't hung up on new, check out your local craigslist for a Verizon branded G2. They are usually listed pretty cheap where I am at (in the $225-325 range on average in excellent condition). They are unlocked, you can flash AT&T firmware on it, LTE works and best of all it has wireless charging built in as a bonus. I have been very happy with mine.

It says under Technical Details:
Network: 4G: 800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz / 3G: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz / GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
So on AT&T you'll get 3G only. It's missing the 700 (primarily) and 1700 MHz (a few markets) bands for 4G.
On T-Mobile you'd get 2G and 3G only where T-Mobile has refarmed the 1700 MHz spectrum for LTE and moved the 3G to 1900 MHz.

I have a Net10 sim which runs on the AT&T network and I have HSPA+ only, no LTE, which is good enough for me

Of course I know what the thread is, but perhaps mentioning you were using the same phone would have been good. Just mentioning using a different MNVO made it sound like you were just using Net10, not necessarily the same phone.
