which nexus s

Hello
I apologize now, i have searched but maybe im looking for the wrong answer
I have just bought a nexus s and rooted it via a great guide on here that works for all nexus s's the only problem i am having is now trying to find out what model i have as i bought it off ebay.
under the battery it says GT I9020
but with the A and T available i dunno which one i have.
I will provide more info if required but i dunno which one i have so i can flash the more up to date OTA (ie 2.3.5 + 6)
I apologize again and thank you for help in advance
Regards
Matt

Which carrier, can use 3G?
If ATT and 3G - a
ATT and no 3G - t
TMo 3G - t
TMo no 3G - a
Compare frequencies from your carrier with ATT/TMo if not in US.

ok so as i see it someone correct me if i am wrong
i have 3 g but i am in uk so
AT&T 3G = 850/1900Mhz
TMobile 3G = 1700/2100Mhz
I am on Three UK and they support 850/2100Mhz
Mock me if i am wrong but i am still confused to which model i have an A or a T
:-(

Check gsmarena.com
Att has 850-1900-2100
Tmo has 900-1700-2100
I hope this helps.
Can u take a picture of the model number in the back. Out of curiosity I wanna see how did that happen

Still both networks support 3G 2100Mhz and after checking what aerial mast is in my area with the network you guessed it its a 2100Mhz so i still have no idea on which model number i have :-(
someone give me a clue!

You have the at&t model. Even though they both have 2100mhz, Tmobile uses there 2100mhz specifically for the upload portion of HSPA+ while the 1700mhz is used specifically for the download portion, without both bands then your phone (any HSPA phone) will not register with Tmobile 3/4G network.

[Q] Nexus Help Please;

OK I have unlocked the Verizon Nexus, (No this is a contract phone) I mean my Nexus and the down-loadable from the market "Root" says, "Congratulations This Device Has Root Access!" (because I rooted it) When I hit the power button and power back up the Nexus and the volume I get a START > and below a Android lying down and beneath him "Fastboot Mode" is in RED and at the bottom it is also in RED and it says, "Lock State - UNLOCKED"
Here's my questions;
1. Can I now freely use another carrier ?
2. Because this is a Verison contract phone and it states it's "unlocked" am I free of Verizon to go to AT&T or someone else ?
3. If no is your answer what can I do so I can escape Verizon and make my Nexus to do and go where I want to go ?
Sincerely;
Michele Dazine

You are locked with Verizon since the device can only operate on Verizons CDMA Technology. Where AT&T is GSM. The Nexus is not duel band. Unfortunately you couldn't even go to Sprint even though they use CDMA because of the operating frequency bands are different.
I believe your only options are Revel, or PagePlus.

That just means that your bootloader is unlocked. You are not carrier unlocked.

So which is it ? Can I pay to have it unlocked and move to another carrier or how can I make it a GSM phone? Thank you

You cannot make a CDMA phone (Verizon, Sprint) work on a GSM network (AT&T, T-Mobile). When they say dual band, they mean 2G and 3G. Please stop thinking you can. The two types of phones have entirely different hardware and that information is all over the internet and this site.

Need help...
I live in New Jersey and have downloaded the Nexus toolkit on my computer for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus but don't know how to go from there to have my phone upgraded to 4.04. Here is my email if someone could guide me through the process. [email protected] I will then give my phone number for help through my email. Thanks for anyone that can help.

Can Nexus S support 3G band 850, 1900MHz

I checked the spec. of Nexus S is only supported 3G band 900, 1700, 2100MHz.
Can Nexus S support 3G network (HSDPA) 850 and 1900MHz?

There are actually multiple versions of the Nexus S with different bands
See this link for a table of the different models and their bands.
If you want the simple version, though, the only Nexus S variant with 850/1900 support is the GT-i9020A

Absolutely aware of this. This superb search, powered by Google, gives you that answer in the first link. Information on both the T-Mo and AT&T variant.

So if I have at&t service and I get the i9020a I should get 3g service?

No should. You will.

So I can take my att sim card out of my current smart phone with data plan put it in the unlocked i9020a and be good to go? or will I have to set any thing else up? Thanks for your help just want to make sure before I buy.

If its the 9020a ( same for the 9020t just no 3g) as you mentioned then yes. Just put the sim in. It is a full sized sim so keep that in mind.

European HTC Desire Z to Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G?

Im wondering if anyone has gone from the Desire Z to the Galaxy S Relay 4G in Europe.
I ask for Europe to make sure it is compatible with most networks over here.
I see there is even ROM development over here with 4.4.4 running I imagine codename "Android L" will probably run as well
Thank you for the comments.

A few have had posts in the q&a or maybe general section, there aren't many posts at all here so I'm sure with minimal effort you'll find the ones I'm referring to

I went from Desire Z to Galaxy S Relay, it works well in Norway.
You need to unlock the phone from T-Mobile, see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255892.
Be aware that this phone is not enabled for 4G (LTE) network, only 3.75G (HSPA+). HSPA+ is marketed as 4G in USA, not in Europe.

3G works in Norway too?
I think by frequencies sadly 3G wont work here where Im at A shame.

900 MHz 3g doesn't work!

I upgraded too from Desire Z to Relay, didn't even realize any 900 Mhz problem. I get always an H or E icon (HSDPA or EDGE), so 900 MHz should be working.
According to specs, the phone should work with these networks:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
I have it in Telekom in Slovakia and in the meantime I travelled to NY and got no problem at all (I had it set to manual network selection to save roaming charges).
The phone I bought via ebay was locked (even the seller described it as unlocked) but after firmware downgrade I easily unlocked it. I recommend LiquidSmooth ROM, you'll fall in love with that phone!
My other finalist was Moto Photon Q, it supports GSM but lacks SIM card slot. If you want, there's a guy in Prague, the author of the sim card mod instruction post on xda, that can do it for you. But I chose the easier way. Now I have a small problem with display flex cable (probably too much openings/day) so I'm considering buying another Relay before they're gone with no decent qwerty phone around. And I can leave the current one for spare parts. I had to put away my DZ because of the keyboard. Some keys started to write several characters instead of one and there was no easy way to fix it.
FYI ebay deals in your name with customs, so they charge you immediately and the phone is delivered to your door without customs holding it for a week.

T699 in the UK
Hi.
I did not owed the HTC, I used an Xpreia Pro prior to my S4 Relay. However I have the S4 relay for almost 1 year and I had no problems using it in the UK. I have traveled in Europe (France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania) and I was able to use it without any problems. AFAIK it works just fine on 900 Mhz but in 2G. The big question is what freq of 3G is your network provider using. For example, in UK I'm on EE network which is using 2100 Mhz for 3G and 1800 Mhz for 2G so the device works perfectly. Ifyou are on Movistar Spain than your phone will work fine, since the company is offering 2G on: 900/1800 MHz (both supported by S4 relay) and 900/2100 MHz UMTS ( from which 2100 is supported by the device). In very simple translation 2g will work everywhere without any problem, it might happen that is some places you will not get 3G signal.
Hope it helps.

SIM trouble in the UK - HELP!

I purchased my phone in April but have just started trying to use it. I'm based in London UK but for reasons at the time, had the phone delivered to Canada. Either way, the manufacturer assured me it was unlocked and listed the available networks:
4G: FDD-LTE : BAND1/BAND3(2100/1800MHz)
TDD-LTE : BAND41 2496-2690MHz
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100MHz
My phone specs are:
Model Number: LEO C
Android Version 4.4.2
MIUI Version: MIUI-4.6.20
Basband Version: 3.4.0-g26e4aff-00865-g1dabe2b
Build number: KVT49L
I've tried 2 different SIMs from BT (connecting to the EE network) and I've had intermittent service -- most times having no service at all. BT has assured me that it's not their network (or the SIM) and that they are compatible with the FDD-LTE specs provided by the manufacturer.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem or can recommend a network company that will work on my phone. It's super frustrating having an Xiaomi Mi4 and not being able to use it. After speaking with BT 6 times in the last 2 weeks, and not getting ANYWHERE, I'm feeling at my wits end about this!
Thanks!

i have been using mi4 since its launch, i bought mine from India but use it in the UK with Three Network. i have never had any of those issues you are facing
