switching carries.

when i bought my nexus one i was with fido. and realizing that they are crap and wind mobile is much better. ive decided to switch to wind. i called them up and they said i need a cell phone compatible with "AWS Umts 1700 2100". right now im with fido and i looked it up on wiki and they use "850/1900" freq and wind uses "1700 band IV (AWS). in the nexus one site it dose say its compatible with winds network, but i know there are 2 versions of the phone and not sure which one i have. its the one that works with Fido obviously.
so can i switch carriers?

tmobile is 1700/2100 mhz

so i cant switch over to wind mobile? can i flash my raido or something to make it work.

I don't know what "wind mobile" is, or what frequencies they use, but if it does NOT match what your Nexus One has, 3G will NOT work, only Edge. This is a HARDWARE difference. You can not flash or "fix" it.

No. Art version of Nexus will work with Rogers, Telus, Bell, Virgin, Solo, etc. T-Mobile version works with Wind. You may be able to use the Art version with Wind possibly, but you will only get edge if it does work.

I meant At&t version. Sorry, auto correct lol

[Q] My Craziest must dumbest idea ever... will it work?

well ive been having issues with 900Mhz band and 3G (my phone company supports 3G under 900mhz only and i don't get on the 3G fun for some reason ): in my weak moments i got this idea of flashing a telus(canada) "sbf" on my milestone and going along with another company that user same 3G bands as telus <.<
will this idea work? any advice?

No matter what you flash, you can't change phones hardware. If you are using north american Milestone (purchased from Telus) you will have 850/1900/2100 bands. If you have european MS, you will have 900/2100.
However if you are not using the right radio firmware, your phone won't see 3G or will have troubles at best.
No matter what firmware you flash, make sure you flash the right radio files for the hardware you have.

[Q] Local carrier has one phone using LTE, am I able to utilize it with the One?

Hello everyone,
I have a question I am hoping can be answered.
I used to own an HTC Dinc with that device I was able to watch YouTube no problem, however I can't watch any videos at all with this new phone.
I am thinking it's just slow connectivity*this is prolly it* but what's so different with my old phone to this?
My local carrier sells this particular model so I bought it second hand, it's a great device don't get me wrong but this one thing is killing it for me.
Is there a way to bring it back to the carrier and have them set it up to use the data like on my Dinc or am I just stuck with crappy connection?
Now with that all said, my local carrier markets 4G LTE but it has only one device which is an LG AS840, I actually asked if I can implement this to my One. They said they can't, I am wondering why wouldn't it work? Is it because the frequencies don't correspond with each other? Or am I missing something entirely?
All I want to do is be able to watch videos when I am not using WiFi*no internet at home atm, I have WiFi at work though*.
Another thing to add as well is, my girlfriend has an S3 which is AT&T branded, well to say it frankly her phone has much better connection than my One. I am also wondering about SIM unlocking, if I SIM unlock will I be able to use a SIM card from her carrier? Currently the carrier she uses is DoCoMo Pacific which uses AT&T branded devices while mine uses Sprint.
If anyone can enlighten me on this subject or even shoot down all my hopes I would appreciate it!!

Who is your carrier, specifically? If your girlfriend is on DoCoMo Pacific, I’m guessing you live in Guam. The Sprint One can only use LTE on the 1900 MHz G-block (Band 25). Currently, I believe that Sprint is the only carrier in the world that uses that frequency/block, meaning the Sprint One will only be able to use Sprint’s LTE network. Since this is part of the physical design of the radio/antenna, it cannot be changed.
Here is the full list of frequencies that the Sprint One can access:
2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G - UMTS/HSPA: 1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 14.4 Mbps
3G - CDMA: 800/1900 MHz for Sprint
4G - LTE: Sprint: 1900 MHz

In order to access the UMTS/HSPA bands, you would have to SIM-unlock. You would have to find out if there’s a carrier in Guam that transmits on those 3G frequencies (1900/2100 MHz) if you want to do things like stream video because the 2G/2.5G is very likely not fast enough.

My carrier is IT&E.
So doing a SIM unlock will help me at least switch to a different carrier, I was actually thinking about doing it just to switch. But as I was reading the various SIM unlock threads here, it's still pretty sketchy.
How about that LG AS840 using LTE on my carrier, or should I throw that thought out the window?
I will look around and see what kind of prices the carrier's offer, I dont want to be on contract so maybe prepaid is the way to go*I'm actually off contract but still pay my contracted amount.
This device is exceptional but the data speeds here locally suck.

[Q] No 4G option on Lumia 1320

As the title says I have a Lumia 1320 with a 4g sim which worked fine on my galaxy s4 but on this , when I go into mobile settings it only has the option for 2g or 3g ?
I have flashed the latest UK rom because it came with a Thailand rom on it
Is there a rom I could flash that has the 4g option enabled ?

Are you sure it supports your 4G bands? If you bought it from outside the region (sounds likely) it might not have access to the 4G band(s) that your carrier uses.

So its the hardware ?
I thought if I flashed a Uk rom it would change the radio ?

The phone only physically supports certain radio bands. Re-flashing *might* let you use, say, 1800MHz for LTE (4G) where previously you could only use it for HSDPA (3G), but if your phone doesn't *have* an 1800MHz radio, you're out of luck (and maybe even if it does, depending on how the hardware is configured; i.e. if the radio does the relevant encoding and collision detection and such internally than it will be tied to a specific cellular technology).
Note that I have no idea *what* bands you need... but most mobile operators only have a single LTE band. You should check and see if it's one your phone offers.

[Q] Would changing the ROM on a Lumia 1520 enable different frequency bands?

I have a Lumia 1520 RM-937 and would like to enable the AWS band 4 spectrum that the RM-938 has.
If i flashed the RM-938 ROM would this enable AWS on the phone?

based on posts with the L920, reflashing it with a different variant will enable AWS on your 1520, IF you can get it to flash.

It appears as though that isn't the case with the 1520. At least in terms of the different LTE bands (I didn't try AWS).
In addition to not having AWS, the 937 rom also didn't have the required frequencies to use TELUS mobility LTE.
After flashing to 937, I was still stuck on Telus' HSDPA+ network.
Anyways, at work today I was looking through some of the perks we have and I found corporate plans with Rogers that have unlimited talk/text and 5 gigs of data. Rogers also uses the network that the 937 ROM is designed for. I swapped over to rogers, just waiting for my SIM in the mail.

cool! sorry it didn't work for you. I should have been clearer:
The phone needs to have the hardware support for the antennas as well as support in the firmware. Typically, if a phone has support for AWS LTE out of the box, you can flash it with the variant that also includes AWS HSPA+ and it will work. If the radio hardware was never put into the phone to support the frequency you want, no amount of flashing will ever get it to work.

Did you get this to work on Rogers LTE?

I have a rm-937 model but onl;y seem to get between 3g-4g-H+ never lte and in spots where I got LTE with a lumia 1020, only getting 3g on my 1520.
Any advice?
