Hi all,
Today the Nexus S has been released in The Netherlands. However I've ordered a US version (because of a S AMOLED screen) through the dutch online shop and that type runs on a GB 2.3.2 english version.
My questions are;
Can I install a dutch GB 2.3.3 (which runs on a dutch models from today on) on that model?
If yes, how to do it?
Sorry if you will find my questions pretty basic but my knowlige of Android is basic too
thanks in advance for any help
Andy
you dont need to patch/flash/rom the US nexus.
with android 2.3.3 it comes with Dutch.
I don't have an answer to your question, however I was wondering if you have checked to see if the 3G frequency of your carrier is supported by the US version of the NxS. I think T-Mobile uses 1700MHz/2100MHz (different than all the other US carriers). Not sure what is used in the Netherlands or if other US versions of the NxS are available yet.
Good luck and enjoy your new phone - the NxS is quite excellent.
I have ordered this one from the dutch webshop (pretty big one) so I assume everything should work fine here
05/07/11 - Finally, nexus wiki page is updated a few weeks ago. My apologies for being under the rock this whole time. Kudos to the guys who did all the work. Thanks so much guys for helping providing these infos. Keep them coming if you have anything to add.
================================================
I think there should be a sticky, or an updated nexus s wiki, about the variants of nexus s we are having lately and upcoming
Like, for example:
gt-i9020t for t-mobile, with info like samoled, t-mobile radio band, ...
gt-i9023 for europe, with amoled/sclcd, ...
and the ones coming out in canada
==================================================
Well, I finally figured out all these technical problems I was having - Thread got moved
Anyway, I just hope that we all share what we know, correct misleading info, gather it all and hopefully someone update the Nexus S wiki page.
(like the Galaxy S page where different models are listed which I think is very helpful)

Actually, this just came up while I was about to buy myself one
Now, I am holding off because I want to get an at&t compatible one, but worried if it has sclcd which I don't prefer
As I digged deeper, the more I got confused
So I thought there should be some info on this that would help me and everyone else
Yes, I would make a thread for this, only if I had the time as I have a very tight schedule with work and school
9020 samoloed 9023 slcd
and if I'm not mistaken the 9023 is only around in europe. (which is why i have one - and let me tell you the screen isn't half bad either - the only pain is that it needs different recovery roms than the 9020 and that finding out how to unlock/root it took 10 extra minutes )
i think you guys got it a bit off...
i9020 is the original one (T-mobile USA 1700/2100 3G)
then came the i9023 (Europe 1700/2100 3G)
and it came the
i9020A (for AT&T 850/1900 3G)
and coming soon is the Nexus S 4G for sprint, which we do not yet the model code

The AT&T is 9020A, the 9020 model is Super AMOLED. Adding the A means it'll be Super AMOLED. If it was SLCD then it would be 9023A.
Sprint will probably be 9020S

Considering one has to use the rooting technics of the 9023 to get a 9020A rooted, i don't see rhyme or reason for standard in the naming convention.
I strongly suspect that 9020 means AMOLED, 9023 means LCD, the A indicates ATT, the carrier info, or A as an official variant of the base model.
I believe that the reason the 9023 guide needs to be used to root the 9020A is because of the hardware revision of the device. I don't think that the 9023's only major difference is the screen and radio, there is something else more under the hood that is making a difference in how the phone behaves. And it's these changes that are brought into future models (like the 9020A)
My Device for example is marked as "REV - 16" for it's hardware revision

this is indeed correct if you look over at the i9000 forum
all the SLCD version of the Galaxy S are coded i9003 or something with a 3, like i903 (china SLCD version), i909 (china SAMOLED verison)
so for whatever the reason they like to use 3 to mean SLCD version

Super AMOLED screen.
Just Information,
I'm from Indonesia and Baseband version is I9023XXKB3.
@jk0l
you should also list the frequency bands they operate in 3G otherwise is pretty useless to only know the models
we all know quad-band works with voice, but 3G are different for each of those
refer to my previous replies for details
the AT&T/Rogers/Fido also works on Telus/Bell
the T-mobile USA version also works with MobilityCity, Windmobile, Vidéotron

I assumed that everyone already aware of the 3g stuff since I've put down the carriers
But anyway, I've just included it as you prefer
PS. did you know that videotron still carries nexus one?
I dont know about now, but it was there the last time I checked
Don't foget that the i9023 is slightly thicker than the i9020 too - dues to the sclcd screen technology.
I found this out the hard way when buying a case for my i9023. It doesn't fit!
re: wiki
everyone is free to help update the wiki
you automatically have access to edit the wiki, for those that knows how to code in Wiki language.
GT-i9023 also can be had with a white battery cover, colour is classed as Perl White on the box.
what about the first stock model?
model Nexus S(yha thats how its model name is on my nexus s.):S
well its model GT-I9020
not I9020T.
last time i checked, england is in europe, and it has the i9020.
i'm also coming to the conclusion that the 9020a that's available in canada has improved gps drivers. of course as the phone - i'm guessing - will need root to install new drivers on the phone - those with the existing problem are sol. that's why google are 'looking into the problem' which i don't believe was not caught in testing, and is probably why a new phone has been released in canada for samsung to prove they can correct the problems.
hi all
i am planning to change my phone and i am interesting in the nexus s since it is a pure android phone nothing on top of it (no samsung TW neither HTC Sence), my current phone is samsung and i used HTC and as i heared the nexus s experience is somthing defference so i would like to try it.
so what i am asking for is which model do you recomend for me and why (I9020T, I9020A, or I9023).
by the way i live out side the us and my carrier use sim card not CDMA, and i want an unlocked phone.
thank you in advance
yamen
This Thread, that is stickied in the forums here will tell you what model you will need to go with, it will either be the 19020T/i9023 or the i9020A.
The i9020T and i9023 are identical EXCEPT for the screen technology, the i9020T uses AMOLED and the i9023 uses sLCD.
Check what frequencies your provider uses then match them to the proper phone.

thank you a lot -thanks button clicked-
9020T and 9020A is basically same model (both has Amoled screen), what is different is the 3g band, 9020T is 1900mhz and 9020A is 2100mhz. you need to pick the one that meet your carrier.
the only difference from 9023, is this one has SCLCD is screen and supposed to be a international device (3g band is 2100mhz too). Which is better deppends who you ask. if i were in your shoes, i'd go with Amoled...
There seems to be a some speculation on the India version being pentaband, and the Korean version being LTE.
But can we have a single list of confirmed variations of the Galaxy Note.
As of now, it seems the only thing truly confirmed is there is a Black and White version of the Galaxy Note in both 16 and 32 GB capacities, although the 32 GB version of either one doesn't seem to be in physical existence yet.
Is there any other truly confirmed variant of the Galaxy Note coming out?
Despite the official confirmation, I don't believe anyone has seen the 32GB for sale yet. So that strims down even further the avaiable color options, which are the confirmed ones.
It seems the Korean version is indeed confirmed to be of different hardware.
1.5 GHz CPU rather than 1.4 GHz and with LTE, different frequency bands and no physical homescreen button.

no the korean version has a button. The one without the button you're thinking about is the supposed US version.
samsung's photostream has shots of the release event and you can see the note with the button. I'd link the picture but I can't post links yet :/
Due to the ridiculously high price of the note 4, I have had to turn to ebay and imported versions on the note. Versions from the US and Asia have shown to have the same frequencies as we have in the UK. I am curious to know if it is okay to go ahead and buy the US or other version if it appears to share the same frequencies as my network has in the uk? I would also like to know if another regions version will have any other adverse affect e.g delayed software updates?

Personally i think you'd be better sticking with the correct model to be sure everything will work as inteneded
