How Do I know Which is SAMOLED and SLCD

I'm in the UK and about to buy the nexus s, just sold my xperia x10 (I will never buy an se phone), I want the SAMOLED version, is there any way of telling which is which?
Thanks.

I went through this recently. If the model is a 9023 variant then I believe it's Super LCD. If it's a 9020 variant then it's probably Super AMOLED. But be sure to explicitly ask the seller before you buy. I bought one on eBay which was decsribed as SAMOLED and when it arrived it wasn't and there was a big argument about taking it back, even though he'd wrongly advertised it.

thank you very much for your reply. I'm thinking of getting one on eBay. so if you go to settings, the model number should be GT i9020?

Check the serial : 9023 is slcd always. I'd go with that better battery life...

"Bad ESN" means that it's (most likely) been reported stolen, and it's been blacklisted at the provider. Changing SIM-card won't work.

It's probably the NS4G which is Sprint only (hence why it has a bad esn)

and on the other hand, every gsm version of the nexus s should work fine in the uk.

I have got a uk model now

[Q] Is there a THE Nexus S? (I'm confused with all the models)

Hey Guys,
I'm interested in the Nexus S, I'm sorry I'm creating a thread to ask this, but it's just driving me crazy.
I plan on using T-Mobile in the US. When I search Evil-Bay and other online stores. They just put up i9020 as the model number and list all the bands. Is there a Nexus S version that has all the bands (I hope I'm using the right term) that the i9020T and i9020A have?
I bought (haven't paid for it yet) this Nexus S off of Evil-Bay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12086207081...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_766wt_1267
and the description says it's a i9020A (the wrong one I need as I was later told by friends). I contacted the seller to ask which model it is and the seller is telling me it has the same Band Network as T and A model.
SO, is there a version that has every Band Network available?
Thank you.

No Nexus S has all the bands. Linky for reference.
You want the i9020 (original) or i9020T, or even an i9023 (this is slightly thicker and has the SC-LCD, not SAMOLED). The 4G obviously won't work for you at all, though the i9020A will sitll give you 2G/GPRS/EDGE calls and data - you'll get no 3G with T-Mo with the A model.
Edit: In fact, you might get some 3G with the 2100mhz band. I don't live in the US to guarantee anything though, wiki says T-Mo is 50% 1700 and 50% 2100mhz.

If you live in the USA, buy 9020, not 9023, you won't have samples screen with 9023

E-bay is full of crap ... Try Amazon and look for "I9020T" if you want T mobile,(or I9023 for AMOLED screen is not important for you and you save 20-30 bucks)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-Go...2C48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330109609&sr=8-1
If seller doesn't specify I9020T in item discription , move over ...

check out cowboom.com they have REALLY good prices but they very from day to day so...

Thank you for the info guys!
The seller contacted me and said the phone I purchased from him is:
model GTI9020.
BAND: Tri-bandHSPA(900,2100,1700MHz),quad-bandGSM/E DGE(850,900,1900MHz)
But, did they ever make a White i9020/i9020T model? The only information I found for the white version is that it was made specifically for AT&T so did they ever make a white version for tmobile ?

I don't believe they did, but there is a white i9023 which you'll probably need to get shipped from Australia or Europe if they have them. I personally prefer the SC-LCD over SAMOLEDs (even all the SGS2s ive seen have ugly tints), it's just a little harder to find cases that fit since it is a little thicker.
Also, if it is in fact those bands, it is the i9020T. Get him to post a picture of the sticker behind the battery and see if it says i9020A, just to make sure.

[Q] Samsung Nexus S shw-m200k

I am new to Android mobiles. I want to buy Google Nexus S mobile. I have a option of buying Korean variant of this mobile which is M200K. Kindly guide me if there is any major difference in I9020 and M200K and which one is preferable.

Hey Im also planning to buy same Nexus S Model. Can I also install the available Custom ROM at this section or they are all device specific? Example I9020/23 (Nexus S - Int.) is not for SWH-200k (Nexus S - Anycall)? Hope someone answer before I buy this phone and forbid me of forever blaming my self on buying Wrong Phone to be modded at.

Go for it. I am currently using stock jelly beans on same model and custom ROMs can also be flashed.

Are you using the SHW-M200K? So can I root it the way that the GT-I9020 does? And all the CWM and Custom-ROMS , does it works? I don't want to spent hours to unbrick my phone again.
And can you show me instruction link to rooting the SHW-M200K

Canadian Galaxy Note 3 Users

Welcome fellow Canadians!
Seeing as the Galaxy Note 3 is going to be released in Canada very shortly (October 4th), I figured we should get some discussion going on where you're buying, and any speculations to price points.
I just got off of a chat with Telus, regarding an email I had received, offering $50 off a device when you sign a contract, OR, stay month-to-month. So you can save a bit of money for those who are purchasing the phone outright, or even signing up for a new contract. You need to call a special sales line: 1-877-279-3900
Also, while she couldn't officially confirm, the rep did tell me that she would strongly suggest I go to a corporate store on Friday.. Obviously this is just in case there are shipping delays (doubtful) but I think that it's quite safe to say that it's coming out on Friday!
Currently, Wind Mobile is the only carrier to officially announce their pricing, but I think that it would be safe to say that the other carriers will be in line (roughly) with Wind.
- WIND 40: $449
- WIND 30: $549
- WIND 33: $549
- WIND 20: $649
- Outright: $749
I was also able to "confirm" with the rep, that the price point for Telus would probably fall around $799, so that isn't too far off of Wind's pricing.
Discuss anything related to the Canadian launch of the Note 3! :laugh:

All I really want to know is if the bootloader will be locked like the US variants or did we escape it again like with the S4?
I will be getting mine outright from rogers.

I wonder how we'll be able to tell. I'm still on an S2 until Friday, but I don't think we ever had problems with the bootloader.

I just checked out Mobilesyrup's review of the Galaxy S2X and it had an unlocked bootloader. If the S4 had an unlocked one as well, I'd be very hopeful that the Note 3 is unlocked as well, only time will tell! 4 more days..

Which International Model Works Best In Canada N900 or N9005?
Hi Guys
As the title states, which model works best in Canada specifically on Bell, the N900 or N9005 model? Also will I get full LTE with the N9005 model? I've tried researching them and keep finding different answers. Sorry if this topic has been covered prior. Just sold my Xperia Z Ultra C6833 to jump over to the N3. Or should I wait for the Canadian release on Bell which I believe is this Friday Oct.4th?
Thanks Again

Im having the same problem myself. Wondering which models will work on Rogers with LTE? Its difficult to understand the band and frequency numbers. I have never had to research a phone like this before I bought it. Some of the numbers match and some dont, does that mean it'll work? Or does it have to have every number matching?
But ya, my question is the same, will an unlocked N9005 LTE work on Rogers?

You can't quote me on this, but if you're looking for LTE, then the only version hat works would be the Qualcomm N9005. I believe the N9000 is the octa core 3G international version.

Hey AllGamer, nice to see you back from the Galaxy S2 days
I found the Wind Mobile pricing from Mobilesyrup: http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/09/28/w...laxy-note-3-on-october-4th-heres-the-pricing/
Bell also announced their pricing today as well, off contract: $799.95 (http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/10/01/bell-samsung-galaxy-note-3-to-cost-799-95-outright/). Which is right around the pricing that the CSR told me yesterday.

Does anyone know for sure, 100%, if the T-Mobile version of the Note 3 will work on Wind? Normally this is the case, but I ask because the T-Mobile version is the snapdragon model whereas Wind is going to be carrying the Exynos model.
I really want the dev support, and from what i gather, dev support is going to be none-existent for the Exynos version? Or is this maybe not going to be as accurate as it is/was for the S4? Or am i wrong about the S4 here too? I just remember reading and hearing that samsung doesn't release source code for the kernel etc for the Exynos chips - which i don't understand fully because I did read a few posts about how samsung had released the source for the Note 3 (or maybe it was the Note 10.1 2014) with the Exynos chip...
can anyone shed light on these issues for me?
Specifically, four questions:
1. T-Mobile Snapdragon phone on Wind Mobile? (Or any other snapdragon phones on Wind?)
2. How does the dev support look like it will be for the Exynos version that Wind Mobile is going to be selling?
3. Does the source code that samsung released for the Exynos model of either the note 3 or note 10.1 2014 mean that they are releasing more source code than they used to for their Exynos chips? Or was this stuff all released for other chips too?
4. Do you guys know if there will be a way to purchase the Note 3 outright from wind if you are not going to be on a new contract? I'm on wind already and i want to keep my existing plan because it's a better deal than any plan they have had since they offered this one, but i obviously want to buy this phone friday... i know with the S3 i had to activate a new plan, but of course then i just threw out the new sim card - worry here is that one wind guy told me that for the first month they may not even allow outright purchases only purchases on the wind tab, in which case i couldn't just throw out the sim card and use my old one could i?

It seems to be $749 off contract, no idea about them selling them only after one month though.

$750 outright, $249 on 2yr contract.

I imported my N900 as soon as I could
I'm on Bell, everything is perfect. I have LTE coverage in my area but I can live without, no lte mean better battery and that what I need.
I did the same thing in the past for my Galaxy S4, I imported the Octa core too.
Been playing with it for almost a week now, awesome device!
