Hey guys I came across a few brand new in box Fido One s's for about 400$ each
Would this model be compatible with the custom roms in this forum?
I was also considering the Canadian Wind SGS 3 but there is practically no development for that phone since it has different baseband than the T-mobile version
If the fido variant is compatible with the custom roms I might just have to flag down the first seller; tell them to shut up and take my money!!
he he
I bought a Fido version a week ago on Kijiji for 400 to use on Wind. An amazing deal for sure. I thought I would want an S3 but the price, $650, and the size were too much for me. Haven't regretted it one bit and am running CM9 on it. Can't wait for Jelly Bean.

Definitely a good deal! (for those looking for a One S........)
The Fido One S is compatible to all custom ROMs and, once unlocked, run fine on AWS bands (T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron).
Wait, the Fido One S supports AWS bands? Do all Canadian One S'? I did not know that One S' were pentaband.

I don't think its Pentaband and I can't test it.
But I can use my Videotron (AWS) SIM in it and it show Videotron unlike other incompatible phones that go on Rogers' network since Videotron don't have GSM antennas. (I don't have data on this account tho)
There was a thread about this last month and it listed all Canadian FCC numbers and supported bands.

The One S from Fido works on Wind for sure, it's what I use. I have also used a mobilicity sim in it. I unlocked it, set the APNs and it was good to go.

I have same problem as you.
I have a VirginMobile HTC One S (FCC ID: PJ40110) which is penta-band and includes AWS. The phone is SIM unlocked and was successfully tested with Bell, Rogers and Wind. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH MOBILICITY.
Looking for some ideas. Would re-flashing radio only help? TIA.

According to the Virgin Mobile site, it's a triband 3G device, which excludes the 1700mhz frequency that Mobilicity uses. I just purchased a Mobilicity one. Got it unlocked and it works fine on Rogers. I'm guessing Mobilicity got the same version as T-Mobile in the US which includes the 850mhz frequency.

The facts that it works fine on WIND and the same FCC ID as T-mobie phones clearly show that it is an AWS phone. According to the HTC letter posted on thread 1673378, Mobilicity could lock AWS bands for unlocked phones.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mobilicity did that. IMO, Mobilicity is worse than the Big 3. I have had my fair share of problems with Mobi.

I need to apologize for the false alarm.
I have tried again with an active Mobilicity SIM card and I can confirm that the Virgin branded, SIM unlocked, HTC One S it is working indeed. It will not authenticate automatically but if you do a network search and select the network manually it will work. I've noticed the same behavior on WIND as well.
Thank you everyone.

I'm glad you got it working! I was certain the One S worked with all 3G carriers. The Virgin Mobile site is a bit confusing though. When I popped my Rogers sim in, I just had to put the Rogers APN in. I will evidentally pop my Moblicity sim back in since I already paid for the first month. I just wanted to make sure everything was working well on the Rogers network.

Hey NSers.
I bought a Nexus S just about the week it came out from Best Buy, but I've decided to move on to another phone. I had thought that purchasing it from Best Buy meant that it shipped unlocked, with no specific carrier, but I just tried an AT&T SIM card in the phone, and it gets no service.
I called T-Mobile, but the woman I spoke to informed me that they couldn't request an unlock code because it's not a phone they actually support.
So I'm wondering how I can unlock it.
Right now, its bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted, if that makes any difference (I'm hoping there will be something easy I can do that doesn't involve contacting either Google or Samsung).
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
your nexus s IS unlocked as of google phones.
the problem is that the nexus s does not support (hardware) AT&T cellular bands.
there is a specific model of the nexus s (I9020A if i'm not wrong) that support those AT&T bands.. sorry.

Oh, really? I thought it supported AT&T GSM bands, but not the 3G bands.
And no worries. It's an i9020T, so maybe it's unlocked but still works only with TMo. Darn.

Right. But if I put in an AT&T SIM, it should work with AT&T's GSM frequencies, right? I'm really not looking forward to calling Samsung tomorrow.
I should go to best buy and ask if you can swap it for a i9020A.

I9029A isn't sold in best buy. I'd go to AT&T and get a new sim card. Your phone should work just fine on AT&T, u just won't have 3G.
I've had a similar experience with the Canadian carriers, however if the carrier supports GSM bands it will work (like previously said) it's when the carrier only supports HSDPA (like Koodo in Canada does) then you need the specific Nexus S (i9020A in your case).
You could also try adding the APN to see if that will allow you to connect (Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names (APN)) - the details can be found on the forums / your carriers website.
Works for me.

Works for me. I live in NYC, and I picked up a Nexus S at Best Buy over the Easter break as a quick temp phone till I got my Captivate fixed.
No 3g, but it certainly works on Edge. Makes calls, data works, syncs with google apps, etc.
Maybe you're just in a poor reception spot for ATT...
Thanks for the advice. Will retry. I'd wanted to confirm AT&T would work before I put it on eBay.
Hey guys,
My friend just bought a HTC Sensation for T mobile from the states, (we are from Canada) and he wants to connect it on his Telus contract. Yes he does have a sim card, and he had it unlocked already. The problem is he is not getting any service and when he goes into settings and tries to register his network it only comes up with Rogers? Now I know that T mobile runs at 1700 MHz/2100 MHz and Telus at 1900MHz, but from what I have read else where it should work? If not, would changing to possibly a Bell modem work for his handset, or is he SOL?
thanks guys!
Since Telus only uses "4G" for their network, (ie. no EDGE/2g) a Sensation from T-Mobile will not work on Telus at all. Tell him to sell it and buy the Bell version and unlock it.

Yeap there is no way. Sell the phone to a WIND user and buy the unlocked Bell one.
The Tmobile version looks like it has the 850/1900 bands to work on ATT's network? Does it in practice?
I know one problem might be the micro sim card idk if att uses those at all. I guesse u could probably just cut a regular one

ATT uses micro sim, that's not an issue.
Frankly I find these LTE just getting to be ridiculously big. The HTC One S is the perfect size imo.
According to the FCC document for the t-mobile version, it's supports WCDMA 850 (ATT), 1700 (T-mobile) and 1900 (ATT,T-mobile). So I should fine on ATT's network as long as I put in the correct APN right?
Also looking for clarification on this...
It probably will, but it has to be unlocked and for that to happen, we need S-Off which could very well be a few months away. Why don't you buy the international, unlocked version outright? You also get your choice of colors (red/black as well instead of just blue/grey).
Wow, not a straight answer yet, YES and unlocked HTC One S will work on ATT 3G (1900mhz). No ATT LTE support. Contrary to above micro-sim is not a problem, att iphones use them and of course you can always cut it as well.

p.s. that band might not be available on some areas and 4g might not work, but works where i live (boulder,co)
Ok so... the T-mobile version will work with AT&T... will the international version work any less? As far as I can tell they both use the same bands (with exception to AWS of course).. but I very well could be missing something.

I thought it had the 850 band for 3G only. I don't see any specs that say it has the 1900 band for 3G. This tells me it will only work in places that AT&T has 3G on the 850 band. Does ATT use 1900 at all for 3G?

ATT uses 1900, in some markets, ATT uses the mixture of both, 850 has better penetration in urban areas (tall buildings ...)
I'm interested in the phone, but i'm going to be using it on ATT. Can somebody that has the device tell us what is the FCC ID?
Quick trip to Phone Scoop website, i can see that there are two FCC ID's associated with the phone. NM8PJ40110 passed the tests using ATT WCDMA bands (band II 1900 and band V 850) and T-Mobile bands (band IV 1700/2100). NM8PJ40100 passed only ATT bands. Both doesn't show any reference to any test on WCDMA 2100 (band I), which probably means that the phone doesn't support the international 3G band.
In short, theoretically, the T-Mobile's version of HTC One S should work on ATT 3G bands (WCDMA band II and WCDMA band V), however, the phone would not support ATT LTE.
Since the hardware is there (FCC website proves it, unless if the official T-Mobile USA version got pushed with different FCC ID that i do not know), the phone should work on ATT 3G, but nothing prevents T-Mobile to disable the ATT 3G radios in their ROM. I think that S-OFF would give opportunity to enable the ATT radios (if they are blocked)
We will see ...
Take care,
From my experience, the ATT radio is not blocked and works fine.

It's not pentaband, but the chip DOES support both 850 Mhz and 1700 Mhz (strange, I know). I believe it's actually quadband WCDMA which means it'll work on Wind/Mobilicity (I have the Telus version too and use it on Wind currently and Rogers prior). It won't work in Europe though, if you travel a lot because I believe they use 900 Mhz out there, which is the band this phone doesn't support.
I've attached proof that it does work on Wind with data, but I don't know how to prove I'm using the Telus model... Just trust me I guess?
AFAIK: Only TMOUS' One S is pentaband.
Check the first table here for frequencies supported on different versions: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5868/htc-one-s-review-international-and-tmobile/7
Thanks for getting back to me =D I had looked around and found differing reports some sites would only have the international one and some would only have the T-mobile one.
Well i guess her's is not Pentaband but I don't mine losing Eurpoean roaming it has the ones i need (AWS) :laugh:

PJ40110 should be written inside the SIM cover thing. It was on mine. I did a lot of digging around to find out whether or not my phone supported AWS. I really hated being with Rogers so I switched to Wind, but I wanted to make sure my dream phone would work before I switched.
I live in Ohio. Here we have T-Mobile and local Cincinnati Bell. Cincinnati Bell gets all their phones from T-Mobile. So if you can get your hands on a Cincinnati Bell One S, that is also pentaband. I have one.

This is misleading information as it is more correctly quadband WCDMA. Pentaband WCDMA would include 900 Mhz as well, which the T-Mobile One S does not have.

I don't know who manbearpig is, but he is wrong. The Telus One S (and all Canadian One S') only support 850/1700/1900/2100. That's 4, not 5 bands. You can look inside your One S SIM cover right now, it says PJ40110 underneath the FCC label.
The Telus One S will NOT work on European WCDMA networks. It is pentaband GSM but not for the WCDMA radio.
If you can show me how the Canadian One S is pentaband, then I will yield. I'm not trying to be a ****, but I've done my research and these are the results and I'm trying to make it clear for anyone who reads this. I hate it when I find misleading info on the internet.

I'm not sure that is exactly the phone he has/had as I was going to buy it from him until he told me it is the silver/blue version. The canadagsm site only lists black as available as far as I can tell. MBP did not say that's where he got it, somebody else posted that link inferring it is the same one. Personally, I am betting it is only a physically unbranded T-mobile US version running an unbranded ROM
I'll PM the new owner later and ask him to check the box.

Whatever it is...it works on WIND
Hi Peops,
Greetings from Can-eh-da!
Thanks to a few postings I saw up in here, and a sweet pre-Christmas deal going on at Wind Mobile, I decided to take a $25 non-refundable SIM card bet on the information posted on these forums, specifically that unlocked HTC One-S phones with the PJ40110 model number *may* work on WIND because it supports AWS.
Using thread #13 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673378&page=2, I found out I might have a ONe-S that works on Wind...I was right!
Hope this helps someone the way I was helped!

There is a thread in the development section of the VZW M8 forum with a how to enable fully functional T-mobile usage.
But out of the box I think it supports Voice on GSM and HSPA+ data and there maybe some additional fooling around necessary to get Text and MMS working. This is generally the story with all Verizons new smart phones.

But out of the box I think it supports Voice on GSM and HSPA+ data and there maybe some additional fooling around necessary to get Text and MMS working. This is generally the story with all Verizons new smart phones.

Hi,
well i read and saw some youtube post that he Verizon HTC One M8 comes sim unlocked.
Well i would like to purchase one and use on my Wind Mobile network (T-Mobile same). My current phone is from T-Mobile and unlocked and works fine on my Wind Mobile.
Can anyone confirm this that the Verizon comes unlocked and will work on T-Mobile/Wind Network?
Thanks you

Lol there are some threads already and some videos. I also have purchased one. I can confirm it is unlocked. Works great with Canadian Fido, rogers, telus and bell.
Somehow it cannot detect wind mobile at all which is really odd. It is confirmed that it works with T-Mobile. My old lg g2 is from T-Mobile which is unlocked and works great with wind. I simply don't understand why the tmobile sim will work Verizon HTC one m8 and not my wind sim. Both are wcdma. ��

Wind uses 1700 mhz which T-Mobile uses as well but not exclusively. This is why t-mobile phones will work on wind but just because a phone works with T-Mobile doesn't mean it will work on wind.

Yea I really need a fix for this. Does anyone know how to make the Verizon HTC One M8 work on WIND Mobile (1700 and 2100 MHz on GSM/UTMS and AWS frequencies)
I really need help and quick.
Thank you in advance!
