European Galaxy S in Canada ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I bought a Galaxy S in France, (model GT-I9000) and I'm moving to Canada (Montreal). It's SIM unlocked but does anyone know if I'll be able to get 3G here, and if so with which mobile phone providers ? I guess there are slight differences between European and Canadian models of Galaxy S in 3G frequencies...
Also if anyone has got an idea about what's the best provider here in Montreal for this android phone, i'm planning to put between 70 and 90$ /month including taxes.
Thanks in advance !

Bell And Telus uses 850 and 1900, Videotron uses the other band, not sure about the other carriers

You will not be able to get 3G in Canada...only EDGE which is 2G data. Phone part will work...just no 3G or 3g+..only 2G.

Are you sure ? I just went to a bell store to try a sim there and the phone was showing hsdpa icon...

If you have thehsdpa icon then you are good, you might have issues some places if you dint have the 850 band but around town you should have the 1900 band pretty much everywhere. Since most ROM for this phone come with the 1900 band you should be good.

You will have limited HSDPA coverage with Bell/Telus/Rogers on the 1900 MHz band. Mostly in the cities. In rural areas, they tend to use 850 MHz instead, which your phone doesn't support. If you are with Rogers/Fido, your phone would fall back to GSM/EDGE, but not with Telus/Bell.
But you get no warranty, as any of these company could turn off any of their 1900 MHz tower any day and replace it with a 850 MHz one. That's why all their phones support both frequencies.
With Videotron, you would have no HSDPA at all and always roam on Rogers' EDGE network (Videotron have an agreement with Rogers). So I would avoid this.
You can always check this map:
http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/cancellsites.html
I don't know if it is reliable but maybe you can see which towers are 850 MHz.
By looking at this map, Bell seems to be 1900 MHz only in Montreal. However if you plan to travel outside of Montreal a bit, Rogers/Fido might be your best bet.
Also remember that Rogers=Fido, Bell=Virgin Mobile and Telus=Koodo

Here is a map of Telus's 3G coverage for the Montreal/Toronto corridor.

yeah but it doesn't tell you if it is 850 or 1900 MHz (or both)

can't you just flash the modem from JL2 and run on 850hz or it's hardware limited?

My friend is a engineer at BELL who helped design the new HSPA+ system...he told me first it connects at 1900 and then pushes you to 850 for data. 1900 will work at times but only in certain area and if the load is low on it. Basically 99% get pushed to 850.
I have tried only 1900 many times...it works but very slow..EDGE slow speed. So yes like I said...but you will be getting edge speed...do a speed test and you will see. Icon's dont mean anything!

I went with Virgin Mobile and so far it's working like a charm. I'm getting hsdpa and a speedtest showed 4.5Mb in dl and 400kbps in upload
I've been using the phone for one day around Montréal and i always had hsdpa coverage. I'll see if I'm not getting network sometimes but since I'm gonna stay a lot in Montréal I feel it's really what I needed.
Many Thanks for your answers, that was really helpful

[REQ] Show H when connected to HSDPA

I'd like to know whether I'm on UMTS or HSDPA generally... How would you go about doing this? I know when I ran the Galaxy S i9000 ROMs on my Vibrant, it would show the H if I was on HSDPA, seemed useful enough for me.
If you go to settings, about phone, status.. it will tell you what you are connected to currently... there is also a connectivity widget also but I'm not sure what its called..

I'm sure when custom roms are being pushed out the H will show, but I miss it as well.

i hate to break this everybody but the Nexus S does not support HSPA+ which is what TMO's new network is. it does support HSDPA 7.2Mbps and HSUPA at 5.6Mbps. this is no good for t-mobile users.

Did I say HSPA+ anywhere -_-. Either way, HSPA+ benefits even HSDPA phones. The only thing that makes the G2 or MyTouch 4G "more 4G" is that they are capped at 14.4mbps (hardware) instead of the 7.2.

I guess you aren't understanding what I am saying. the phone only connects to UMTS on t-mobile. how is going to show an H in the status bar when at this moment in time it will never connect to anything other than UMTS

Then how am I getting 5+mbps sometimes? UMTS maxes out at 3.6.
Not to mention the specs

Why would it be on the spec list and not be on the phone? HSDPA is a standard for T-Mobile phones. It doesn't do HSPA+ which is up to 14.4mbps... I'm pretty sure I saw HSDPA in the settings as well I'll check again next time I'm getting 5mbps down

Rogers Ottawa LTE speeds

I'm in Ottawa and my speeds are a little wacky. The first night I had LTE service I hit 40mbps, bit now its steady around 16-18 or so.
Should i expect my most recent tests or should i be looking for higher than that?

Were in Ottawa are you? Im in Kanata and have yet to see lte speeds. im in an ongoing battle with rogers to get lte here. they told me were there towers were in Kanata i went there and nada. i know hunt club and merivale is a strong signal as is baseline and woodroff were their flagship store is. I have gotten decent speeds here and there but i dont believe there network is even half functional. i bought my phone in Toronto in oct and the lte speeds were pretty consistent and coverage was fairly accurate in terms of their coverage map.
First they said my device was defective even though it worked fine in Toronto. So i bought a sierra wireless lte modem and had the same results to prove to them it wasnt a device issue. then i drove to there towers with google maps on my screen to show them my position and the fact that my phone was in edge and sometime 3g at best and emailed rogers tech support pics as well.
There supposed to send a tech out again tomorow but at this point im not very optimistic.
As you can see in the pic when lte works its great the speeds there are from toronto and 2 are from ottawa, just not anywhere near me lol, other pics are of my position less than 100 meters from the towers and you can see the network its on 4g if lucky otherwise edge (tower is corner of campeau and teron other one is castlefrank and 417)
Also do you have issues with the phone when it tries to switch between 4g and lte?
I live in sandy hill and work downtown. I hit 4g downtown but 90% of the time I'm on LTE at home which is pointless as I have WiFi.
Sent from my HTC-X710a using XDA App
i haven't really noticed anything when they switch, but i'm not really aware of when it does.
what i have noticed is that when i'm on LTE my signal kinda dwindles, but its not unusable. its actually more functional than with full strength on 4g.
So I figured out why I was getting such low speeds on my tests. I was running off a Montreal server so it was skewing my results.
After using the Ottawa server my results improved drastically. The top 3 are after I switched to the Ottawa network.
I am impress.
LTE for the win.

Im in the same boat, for some reason speedtest and alot of other cell signal apps put me in montreal as my location when trying to figure out my location via cell signal. funny thing is it only happens when in lte, wonder if this is some sort of bug? when i change it to ottawa speed def picks up.
Also rogers is having issues with their lte they gave me 50%off my bill for 6 months so i pay 25$ for 10 gb and 25$ for my north america unlimited plan, may be worth calling in for you as well
AT&T LTE is about on par with your LTE speeds, cept I haven't managed to get more then 2 bars on LTE.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I haven't noticed any signal loss or poor call quality so overall I'm impressed so far, other than it nit picking up my LTE in downtown Ottawa. Maybe I'll call rogers after all haha
Sent from my HTC-X710a using XDA App
I've found online that there's a setting the mobile network section to set it to LTE auto. After turning that on I haven't had an issue with my LTE network signal other than it dropping in my office building, but even then it still manages to pump out 15-20meg or so.

[Q] Would the T-Mobile HTC One work on Wind Mobile in Canada?

If I scavenge around this site and Google hard enough, I can find this question asked a few times, but none have definitive answers. This is a phone that I'm extremely interested in purchasing, as the Sony XPeria Z and Samsung Galaxy S 4 don't have an appeal remotely close to that of the HTC One's. Wind Mobile is a hard carrier to find phones for it seems, but I'd really love to use this phone on my network. Since the international and LTE variant lack the AWS 3G band to support Wind, would the T-Mobile version be compatible? On T-Mobile's website, it states that the UMTS Band IV is 1700/2100, which should be compatible with Wind's 3G network. I would just like to confirm this is true? Normally, I don't like to start new threads to a simple natured question like this, but I'm pretty much desperate to confirm whether or not I can use this phone. That way I'll know whether or not to get excited, or just stick with my S3. Thanks, it's much appreciated.

Was on wind in the past, yea it's hard to find devices for this carrier because it's strictly on AWS for its data and services.
The HTC One might work...but if I recall correctly you need 1700/1900/2100 frequencies for HSPA+ or something.
If it's anything like the original Galaxy Note, you may have to flash a radio or something to make it compatible with wind IF this phone is pentaband. If it isn't, f forget it because no amount of radio flashing will work if it the hardware doesn't support it.

I'm out of country right now, so once I'm back I will post it. By the way t-mobile uses the same bands as wind mobile, apart from having lte also. Other than that there's no differences...T-mobile one has 1700/2100/850/1900

If you refer to my post, my point was only that there's a little app that shows the Android service menu. The band is indicated (mine says HSPA - my contract doesn't allow LTE, so I can't say anything about that).

that app your referring to is the same menu as going into *#*#4636#*#*
also, HSPA, LTE, GSM, etc is not the band type, its a network type.. by Band type I mean LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40, which is also another way to describe radio frequency
as you can see in the first pic of my first post, in the Samsung device, it shows Band 4

That's all fine and dandy, but it's not like your carrier is operating multiple frequencies that you're likely to see ever. Maybe if you live in an incredibly dense population center, but even then... Perhaps I'm missing something.

Fair enough, if you have LTE already, and they are simply deploying a new frequency, you likely won't notice any change, to any of the service. Speeds don't increase between bands, the only reason a carrier deploys a new band, is to fight radio interference from other carriers. Given the cost of a single radio, carriers generally only deploy these new radios in VERY congested areas. Meaning, that in a city that has, say 15 towers, 2-3 of them would actually get the upgrade, in the area that suffers from the most interference. (You have to bear in mind, that a full tower build, requires 6 radios, each radio costing about $18,000 for the radio, another $1000 for the antenna, another $500-1500 for the power supply and cabling. They don't just "upgrade" an entire area, it takes too long to recoup costs)

Ah my mistake, i had in my head he meant to check for bands in the area which he can use with the 'unlocked' frequency mod..for some reason. My total mistake!
However what i meant with what i said when i get my 4g is that i can confirm that the unlock mod will enable band 20 since our OPO is restricted/doesnt support it by default. The band app would be good though!

International SM-N950F/DS internet speed is very slow on Tmobile LTE

Hello,
I'm not even sure if the phone connect to Tmobile LTE bands, but according to the spec sheet, the phone does have all the Tmobile LTE bands (2,4,12). But I only get about 4~6Mbps download and 1~2 Mbps upload speed running speedtest.
Anything I can do to improve the speed? I already create a new APN and tried with different settings like IPv4/IPv6 and IPv4 alone.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Anyone ?? No one has the same issue as me? I also flashed the AQI4 latest firmware with AQI4 baseband and things seem a bit better, but still very slow.
Probably need to flash a T-Mobile CSC and we might need to call them and have them provision something with our IMEI as well. My N950N has the same slow issue as you, but I noticed if I insert the SIM, for a few minutes the data speed will be very fast, then suddenly just drops to garbage slow.
Also wondering if perhaps there's a physical issue with some of these. My signal strength and download speeds are garbage again (thought that they were fixed by restoring the stock EFS partition but I appear to have made a mistake).
Testing at my house now next to my Note 5, the Note 8's signal strength bounced between 9-15 dBm worse than the Note 5 (it's signal strength varied by at most 1 dBm), same LTE band and running multiple speed tests concurrently and separately the Note 5 was averaging 100mbps down (testing on the same server for consistency) where the 8 was anywhere between about 16 Mbps to 35.5 Mbps again on the same server.
This is on complete bone stock factory flash with Odin.
Another oddity is that the upload speed was higher on average on the 8, it was 1-5 Mbps higher than on the Note 5 even though the 5 is destroying it in download speeds.
I am really starting to suspect a loose antenna wire.
I have the F/DS Singapore variant on t mobile. Signal strength is great so far and getting 4G+.

In my case it turned out that my usb/antenna/mic/speaker circuit board kind of died after about 1 week - that is why my LTE signal and speeds suddenly dropped. When it was working properly I was able to get download speeds between 100-200+ Mbps, in an area with signal strength approximately -75 dBA, but now in the same area it only gets about -95 to -100 dBA and I'm lucky to get 20 or 30 Mbps. Waiting for replacement parts to become available so I can replace the faulty board.
Also apparently a lot of these are having issues as many people are reporting some or all of the issues related to the components on that board (slow/poor LTE, mic issues, etc).
