Hey there,
I recently had a htc desire, i loved it. However, i will be living in panama for a while, and it wouldnt be so sweet to only have edge as they run 3g on the 850 band.
reading on this page there seems to be 2 versions of the nexus one. one with quad band and one with tri band..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_One
Is there a way to know what is in my phone if i am holding one i am potentially buying?
It seems the developer version on sale now is tri band sadly.. so i cannot buy a new one..
They're both quad band GSM for voice and data up to Edge. The difference is for 3G data. AT&T and T-Mobile use different 3G frequencies.

Pop in your sim card and see if it connects to 3g

Hehe, i would, if i could. i am currently in sweden, and here the T-mobile would 3g connect..
Is there for sure NO WAY to check this in the firmware somehow?
If its tmobile or att version of nexus one..

Easier to just copy and paste the info then have the OP go to another site.
Pull the battery and look for the PB # which is located just below the IMEI, S/N, and P/N #’s. You should see one of two PB numbers:
PB99110: 850 MHz, 1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz such as AT&T in the US and Rogers Wireless in Canada
PB99100: 900 MHz, AWS, 1700 and 2100 MHz such as T-Mobile US and Vodafone in Europe

I'm looking to purchase a Galaxy S next month. I live in the USA, but I travel to Thailand every year. I'd like to get one phone that will work on both AT&T and AIS for both voice and data. (3G on both would be great!) While traveling in Thailand, I really want to be able to tether my netbook through the phone.
Anyone have recommendations as to which Galaxy S I should get?
over in Europe + Asia they only have 1 model
they all come with triband 3G WCDMA 900/1900/2100
and quad band Voice/EDGE 850/900/1900/2100
so you wont go wrong in getting any Galaxy S as "There Is Only One" (hmmm... sounds which movie was it from?)
unless you get the wrong Galaxy Lite, or Galaxy 5000 series, or Galaxy 8000 series or Galaxy 7000 series
My concern is the 3G WCDMA 850MHz vs 900 MHz for data. I know that AT&T uses 850 MHz, but AIS in Thailand is using 900 MHz. While it's true that 3G is just starting to roll out in Thailand (limited coverage and all), I would like to get a phone that I'll be able to use when they do get it all covered.
If I get an unlocked Captivate for use on the AT&T network, would putting in a sim from AIS automatically switch the 3G WCDMA over to the 900 MHz band (if available)?
Or is the radio hardware-fixed on this? (I've searched for an answer on this, but can't find a straight answer.)
there is no phone with both 850 and 900 3g...
I think your only chance for a 3G phone that works in both USA and Thailand is the Captivate. True Move in Thailand has 3G on 850mhz, which the Captivate uses.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I guess the GSM radio is separate from the 3G CDMA radio (since the GSM can do both 850 and 900).

I'll be traveling to Trat and Koh Chang. True doesn't have coverage there as far as I can tell.
Anyway, thanks for the info!
i would buy the i9000m from canada or the i9000t or i9000b from south america b4 the captivate.. captivate.. has poor 3g upload, and no front camera.

As far as I can tell, there's no 3G coverage in Trat and Koh Chang from any operator in Thailand. You'll only get GPRS/EDGE coverage there.
Hi,
I bought a nexus one and it works great. However, I have a problem with my 3g. I recently bought a data package from Tmobile. My nexus one never connects to 3g it is always on “E” (edge). I tried to research the problem and found many solutions that worked for other people but never worked for me. I get a real strong signal (-65dBm and more). I know I have 3g on my line because placed my sim card in HD2 and galaxy s and get 5 full bar of 3g. Do you guys recommend any ideas that would help me out?
Im running pure google mod Rom
With Wildmonks cm7 kernel
And radio 5.12.00.08
i had other Rom and kernel downloaded before to make sure it wasn't the problem.
Thank you
Sounds like you got one of the AT&T models. There were two different N1s made. One that supported AT&T's 3G network, and one that support T-Mobile's 3Gnetwork. The phone will work on the other network, but will not connect to 3G.
Verify which phone you have by the following:
Pull the battery and look for the PB # which is located just below the IMEI, S/N, and P/N #’s. You should see one of two PB numbers:

thank you and i do have the at&t model
I am thinking about buying this phone, I am on a contract with Three so want to use that sim. Can I use that sim in this phone as I am concerned about the different bands, according to GSMArena the LTE version does not have the 1900mhz band. What band does Three use for it's 3G? It's all very confusing and I want to know before I purchase. I heard from somewhere it uses the 2100mhz band, which will be ok.
Many thanks!

1.) the LTE Frequencies vary from country to country...
From HTC:
EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
US (Sprint): 1900 MHz
Asia: 1800/2600 Mhz

Now comes the great news.. as far as I know Rogers uses 2600 MHz . so EU Version from the UK WILL work!
99% confident
EDIT:
Maybe this Thread can be moved to Q/A
Rogers should have the phone next Friday....given that is when the pre-order offer ends
the one that available now, only has one band that matches rogers LTE band :2600
as far as i know and read from XperiaZ forum, (c6603 XperiaZ has almost same LTE band as ONE)
no one are able to get LTE.
if you need LTE. get it from your provider.

I could assume they have the US Model then? If they have the European one, all they need is the correct apns and maybe activate LTE over Settings.. DIAL *#*#INFO#*#* and then phone information ... and see if LTE is activated

we tried everything possible can to test LTE
last hope wehave is flash the baseband when xperia zl came out.

anyhow
2600 is still not very realible (although i heard that one verison of Note2 that only got 2600 got LTE)
Alright so I guess I'll hold off. What band I'd missing exactly
So not 100%sure the uk version will work on rogers LTE??
how many version of htc one is there
i checked the htc uk n canada site
all the specs are the same
so ibm kind of confused
should i get that from uk or not
cuz its about 150$$$ different

Phone - HTC One unlocked developer edition 64GB
SIM - T-mobile Unlimited Data package
I had a Google Nexus S and never had problems with data connectivity in Manhattan, NYC. But with the HTC One, the network keeps switching between 3G, EDGE and HSPA. The result - very embarrassing data connectivity - browsing, news feed sync, podcasts, and such.
Has anyone else experienced this issue ? Is there a workaround ?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Well surprise surprise...please get a TMobile version which has the AWS 1700 band for 3G/HSPA+ ... the developer edition doesn't have that band and you are got get bad reception/speed. If you are in 1900 refarmed market it will be ok but still that is not covering enough market.
People are trying flashing TMo radio to get the AWS 1700 band but i think it still doesn't work.
Developer edition is the same as the international edition. If the signal is week, it will fall back to the other speeds 3g. So yeah like kirdroid said get the tmo version for better compatibility

Been going back and forth between the Dev version and the Tmo one, looking like I'll stick with Tmo then.
However, think there's any chance flashing a new radio will eventually be ironed out?

I think eventually it will be figured out probably once s-off is achieved...but not sure when that will happen. I guess there is a thread in TMobile One forum tracking this.

Think there's a little misinformation there as the Dev Edition has the AWS 1700/2100 band... and definitely supports T-mobile's LTE bands.

Yes it has the LTE AWS bands but not the AWS 1700 HSPA+ bands to get the TMobile fast HSPA downloads, both are different.There is no misinformation ... lots of people get confused with the LTE bands. Below are the specs...the missing band is in the HSPA/WCDMA section, if it had the AWS 1700 band here then it was perfect.
HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)

The dev edition offered by HTC in the US has the below bands

GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)
I picked it up from the the HTC shopamerica page for HTC One Dev Edition
Kik, is right about it.
As you mentioned, I could wait for T-Mo LTE bands to be available in NYC or I could switch to ATT.

Thank Kir. How do I find if NYC & Jersey City are refarmed to 1900 ?
NYC is refarmed. Everything will be better when LTE it's rolled out in June.

Yeah, stick with the T-mo version, but maybe you would want to check when T-mo rolls out LTE in your region. Definitely the storage 64GB is important as the HTC One does not have a SD slot.
