Hi guys,
Has any1 tried the Rogers Ativ S on Wind/Mobilicity?
Their website doesn't list 1700mhz for 3g while Telus and Bell do have it.
Is the Rogers Ativ S simply using a different firmware like the AT&T Lumia 920 or a totally diff. radio with missing 1700mhz?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I ended up getting the phone and it does indeed work with Wind so it supports 1700mhz on 3g.
Pretty shaddy of Rogers to hide this info on their website.

Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if my phone is going to be compatible with the networks in Australia (Next G), and what I can do to get it working on one of the carriers over there, most likely Telstra.
I really don't know where to get started.
Much appreciate any advice.

Update: The wiki article on the Samsung Galaxy S, tells me that Bell's GT-I9000M is compatible with 850 Mhz. Telstra's Next G network is apparently 850 Mhz, and Telstra itself sells the GT-I9000T. Does that mean I should be able to use it when I move to Australia? What do I need to do?
Not all Galaxys use the same frequencies. If your phone and the carrier in Australia use the same frequencies, then you are good to go. Make sure your phone is unlocked otherwise you will not be able to use any other service besides Bell.

Just picked up an HD7 for real cheap wanted to play around with it however I have ATT I got the phone unlocked and receiving data but I am only at edge speeds any way to get the 3g to work thanks in advance!
It sounds to me like the unlocked phone you got was a T-Mobile model. T-Mobile and AT&T use different frequencies for 3G so it simply isn't possible to use a phone from one on the other and still get 3G service. Yeah, it works both ways, you can't get 3G on an unlocked iPhone with T-Mobile, for example.
Depends on the phone. Unlocked Vibrant works on ATT 3g

If your phone was from TMo-US, you'll only get EDGE, as Tmo uses 900/2100. ATT uses 850/1900. You need a Telstra/Bell unlocked HD7.
Look at your "About" screen. T9295 is what you should see. T9292 is TMo-US.
Hi all,
I also got T9295 from AT&T,
I'm in France but I can't run 3G, only edge.
Any Idea?
Is it a Hardware limitation or just software?
thanks in advance for your help.

it's a hardware limitation, no way on earth you can run 3G on your AT&T HD7S, unless if you have an operator that uses the same frequencies as ATT
Thanks for your fas reply.
much appreciated!!

Yeah, but the ATT HD7S has some HW limitations, and it only support 1900MHz

Currently running a ICS rom on my Galaxy S i9000
Bell canada is getting way to greedy... so i was thinking to switch over to
http://windmobile.ca/en/Pages/default.aspx
unlimited everything... 40$ (i live in Toronto)
question is can i get the Galaxy S to work on the Wind Mobile network?
and does anyone have experience with wind mobile?
*Text Removed
currently using JVO
if flashing a new modem is all i have to do ill be cancelling my contract today!
thanks for the quick reply...
i see you are with bell are you happy with em?
I'm actually with Virgin, same network as Bell but much cheaper. You could check out what they have on offer.
So I checked online, Wind uses UMTS band 4 (1700mhz) while Bell uses Band 5.
I switched over to Wind about a week ago ($29 unlimited talk/text/data) and I can assure you that your Bell Vibrant I9000m will not work on Wind's network (I tried with my Wind SIM card). The frequency bands that Wind uses (AWS 1700/2100) are not compatible with the Bell Vibrant I9000m handset. If you had a T-Mobile Vibrant I9000m however, then it's possible to have it work with Wind's network, but definitely not if you have the Bell SGS.

Whoops. hopefully tb5 dodged a bullet there.
Thanks for the info!
@snehasish
yea went into the Wind Mobile store today and tried to put 2 sim cards in, a screen came up 'sim pin lock code' for both i dismissed that screen but the phone didn't work.
had the jvo modem running Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC2.1
@adslee
that's pretty disappointing... i had high hopes guess ill have to sell it, or get bell to give me a 40$ unlimited everything plan...
Wind uses AWS and that's why it doesn't work. Our phones are GSM quad band.
Did you take a look at what plans Virgin has?
flash a bell modem.. or... in your dialer type, *#2263#* and under multi band make sure 850 is selected... also you will need Wind mobile APN... furthermore...your phone has to be UNLOCKED to use another SIM card...
wow, so much misinformation!
as mentioned before, you can NOT use bell's i9000m on the wind/mobilicity home network.
for UMTS (aka 3G, 3G+, or whatever they are calling it now)
wind/molicity/t-mobile uses 1700/2100 mhz
big 3:telus, rogers, bell (including it's child company, virgin) and att uses 850/1900 mhz
yes, "our phones are GSM quad band" (aka 2G, edge...).
in canada, only rogers has 2G towers. wind uses this rogers 2G for roaming, so yes, you can use your bell i9000m with wind... but only for roaming on 2G.
and no, you can not just "flash a different" modem to make this work.
and no, wind does not use CDMA.
thus, short answer, don't use bell's i9000m on wind.
yea currently looking to buy out a T-mobile device...
on GSM ARENA filtered out 1700 / 2100 mhz phones.

you can try looking for "t959" (t-mobile version of galaxy s) on ebay. I see quite a few used ones around $200 + ~$20 shipping (Canada), which is probably around the same amount that you'll be able to sell your i9000m for.
Good luck.
yea i saw that might move up to the SGS2 since i have to sell this phone.
Hi all, I am having trouble getting my unlocked note that I bought from amazon working on my Cincinnati bell network. I have voice but after searching the internet I tried a few different apn settings but can only seem to get the 2g edge network and not 3g let alone 4g. Any help would be greatly appreciated
i believe 2g is all you will get. cincinnati bell runs 1700/2100 3/4g and your note uses 850/1900. same problem as tmobile usa except the few western states using the 1900 for 3/4g.....
Jesus, how can a country that influent be so totally retarded when it comes to getting a mobile phone to work across the entire country? There's like a million standards and not even the same within a single operator. Get with the times - heard about GSM/WCDMA you know that the rest of the entire would uses?

Thanks, I heard T-Mobile runs the same network as Cincinnati Bell, would their galaxy s II work then?

You can get more than 2G. CB has their own 3G network but you have to go to the store and upgrade your SIM card

That does not seem to be the point here... The point is that it seems Cincinnati Bell uses frequencies that are NOT compatible with the N7000 being the 1700/2100 band as opposed to the 850/1900 band that the N7000 uses.
Hey XDA
I've been doing lots of searching to try and determine if the at&t model is identical to the Rogers (Canadian carrier) model. For some reason I can't find the answer.
I'd like to know which XDA forum I should browse for the Rogers model. Please let me know which forum is applicable to this model of the HTC One
Thanks!
There is no difference other than the LTE base bands.
Rogers: 1700, 2600
AT&T: 700, 1700
This is not a problem as LTE still does work on both devices with AT&T or international branded ROMs.
Stay away from Sprint and T-mobile as they use different base bands for 3G and I believe LTE. They also have not been tested on AT&T or Rogers phones, yet...
