Hey guys,
I plan to import a N5 from the US into Europe.
Due to the fact that the two versions of the N5 support different LTE-Bands I need to know weather it is possible
to change the Bands by Custom-Rom or a different method.
Thanks for the help
Alex
As far as we know now, NO.

Hey guys! I'm new here and searched this topic, but haven't found an answer. It's just a general question that would also help other users who like the iPhone, but have a different carrier. My question is, Will the iPhone (possibly 5) ever be released on T-Mobile (includes any other US carrier)? I'm just wondering because it would be nice if iOS finally made it to other US carriers. Thanks guys
Hello guys, just got a new Nexus S I9023, from this seller
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004USPRM4
But, they said it would be a UMTS 850Mhz frecuency phone, and turned out to be UMTS 900.....
Im familiar with rooting android phones and custom recoveries, but im new with samsung devices, so I ask
Is it possible to change the radio/baseband of my I9023 for a I9020T which is the proper frecuency I need?
Very much thanks in advance fellas.
As far as I know, you can't, sorry :/ I believe this is a hardware setting.
Not 100% sure, though.
Good Luck.
Radio bands are hardware based. You can't change your bands via software.
You can change your baseband radio, but that won't change bands.
Oh well.... just what I hoped for, I hope the amazon vendor knows the mess they did.
Sadly, Its hard for me to return it, since I live in Venezuela. Guess Ill sell it, theres a carrier here that supports 900mhz
Most of those independant sellers on Amazon or eBay are idiots...Never trust them and always check the device well before you buy...Live and learn
Hello everyone,
I've been searching sometime for an answer but I seem to keep getting conflicting information. Here's the gist: I'm moving to South Korea long term and I have a Samsung Nexus S that was purchased through Koodoo. Works like a sweet machine and I'm loath to give it up. I'm just wondering if it will work when I bring it over instead of forking out money again for another smartphone.
Reasons I think it will work: Nexus S seems to have a wide range of frequencies that it is compatible with, designed to be a world phone, etc.
Reasons I think it might not work: I keep hearing different information on South Korean frequencies from CDMA only to god-knows-what.
Can anyone out here help? It's quite confusing to me. If it won't work then I'll likely try to resell it (still in pristine condition) before leaving instead of bringing it all the way over and it being unusable. However if it does work, again, it would save me buying a new smartphone over there which will probably cost me more in the long run.
Any advice is MUCH appreciated. Thanks!
I'd like to say that it should work fine in S.Korea givin that the i9020 is basically the m200(Korean nexus s). I'm not completely sure though, I can be wrong so don't count me in on it 100%. If it's possible I would contact a Korean GSM telco through email and ask, they'll know if your nexus s is compatible with their bands. I would do that JUST to make sure
What model of Nexus do you have? Do you what bands/frequencies South Korea service providers use?
Hey guys I'm planning on going to Japan sometime soon and have decided to start planning. Buying a phone in Japan is much more expensive compared to those in the USA, especially considering the Nexus line.
I'm wondering what phones would work on the cellphone providers in Japan: SoftBank, NTT Docomo? Could I bring a GSM Nexus 4 or Galaxy Nexus?
As long as the phone contains the necessary radio antennae to communicate with the network's in Japan, you can use it. I know there are international versions of phone that contain several different antennaes to allow such commuunication, but I don't know them off the top of my head.

Okay thanks, anyone else know of any specific phones?
Hey all,
This is a bit of a speculative question as in theory we don't know what is happening until tomorrow.
But rumors at the moment from Handtec in the UK state the MotoX won't be available for sale over here.
So my question is, assuming this is true and the MotoX is available tomorrow but only in the US what sort of things do I need to be aware of if I want to import the phone.
The handset seems like its going to be unlocked from the beginning so I assume I shouldn't have any issue using a UK sim.
If its US only, will I find it hard to track down a supplier who will actually send to the UK?
Anyone imported a phone to the UK from another country got any advice?
