Nexus One now compatible with the AT&T 3G network and shipping to Canada
In early January, we announced the Nexus One, the first device sold through Google's web store. The Nexus One is unlocked, which means you can use it with a SIM card from most GSM operators worldwide. Currently the device is compatible with most 3G networks, including T-Mobile in the US. However, there are some carriers that have different 3G frequencies, such as AT&T in the US and Rogers Wireless in Canada, so users with these SIM cards can only access 2G or EDGE networks on their Nexus One.
Starting today, an additional version of the Nexus One is available from the Google web store that is compatible with AT&T’s 3G network. This new model can be purchased as an unlocked device without a service plan. In addition to AT&T’s 3G network, this device will also run on Rogers Wireless in Canada. And like the first version of the Nexus One, it can be used with most GSM operators globally.
Additionally, Nexus One devices can now be shipped to Canada from Google’s web store, and will work with a SIM from Rogers Wireless. To find out which version you should purchase, based on your mobile service provider, please visit our Help Center.

oops..'Froyo'
"Hi there,
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
The update will still be made available through the Samsung Kies PC application.
Regards
Forum Team "
from the TM support forum
oh well.
Obviously carrier specific firmwares aren't going to be out at the same time as the standard release, but I'm a bit concerned about these supposed problems with Orange, given that I have an Orange contract + unbranded phone.
Same here I'm on orange uk aswell with an unbranded phone. My friend has a galaxy s on tmobile.. When he boots his phone up he gets atmobile animation where as I get the unbranded s that materializes itself from little shards.
So does this mean orange will be delayed aswell as they have merged their signal or is this just going to just be for the tmobile branded phones???
Can any 1 shed any more light on this?

Nope, both you and I will be able to install froyo as soon as Samsung release it.
Whether there will be issues getting a signal on Orange is another matter however - hopefully it won't render froyo unusable.
I think the delay is due to the fact that when roaming onto the opposite network, the phone does not switch back when the original signal is available.
For example i run jpk on my orange contract, when i am in the sticks and run out of orange signal it connects to tmobile, however when i am back in town, etc it does not connect me back to orange. This is fine for calls, however i only get 3g, etc on orange, not tmobile.
This is just a guess tho.

Well I have held off as long as I can I'll give it until the 1st of november and I'm gonna flash a rom myself. Is there any difference between jpk and jpm? I have jpk downloaded and ready to go
T-Mobile are talking crap. My JPM switches to Orange when i have no T-mobile signal and works just fine. My guess is they are trying to find away to brand all the unbranded devices.

Do you still get the internet 3g connection aswel with the switch?
And also does it switch back ok when it finds t mobile connection again?
If so then maybe your right.

Don't feed the troll!
Thinking about it now, cause the way froyo has been rolling out with branding crap things don't look so rosy. xda is the way forward imho So btw, it takes a month and a half to do one little roaming tweak for the merging t mobile and orange users in the uk? Biggest lie ever, cause there is a 2 min workaround on t mobile uk users site. Just switching on roaming, send a few texts and workaround on t mobile uk users site. Just switching on roaming, send a few texts and job done. So this is bs all the way. Why don't samsung come clean and say ops sgs korea only gets froyo and rest of the world stays on eclair.....stop feeding bs, trying to boost sales numbers by lies!
I posted this here from sgs forums, from my original cause I am so angry!
FYI, this has just appeared on Samsung UK facebook page :
Samsung UK Mobile Hi everyone, sorry for not getting this to you sooner. The Android 2.2 software is being fully tested with UK operators and the upgrade will be available in the UK from early November. We expect all operator versions of the software to be fully tested and downloadable by the end of November. Let us know if you have any questions. Many thanks, Samsung.

Me too.
But, my product code is a t-mobile one, so not one update is available on Kies. Not even JM1.
This tells me T-mobile will brand my phone with their official update
There are two specific Kiwi issues I would like to discuss.
Does anybody know where to obtain a stock ROM for the I9000 from Telecom New Zealand? I believe there is only Eclair, but would like to be proven wrong. I may require this in case of any warrany issues and to reset before upgrading to Gingerbread (at least I am led to believe this).
Which modem are you using (again Telecom NZ) on your custom ROMs? I have tried a few and I am currently using JL2. I had to flash this separately while using Darky's ROM 9.3, which worked fine in some parts of town but not at all in others (I presume it could not handle the 850 band).
Many thanks in advance

I believe JL2 is the correct modem to use. Do you have a Telecom SGS as the Vodafone one obviously does not support the 850mhz band that Telecom requires. It is possible that the rom/modem combo you are using disables the 850mhz band which would explain why some parts of town aren't working. I'm pretty sure there is a way to enable it if your hardware supports.
As for the thing about the stock rom, I think maybe you should ask people on the Geekzone forums - http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=62267&page_no=323
telecom froyo
I have the telecom froyo release even though it has not been released officially.
i got it from Modaco,(i think cant quite remember), if someone could tell me how to post a download link i can put it up here. Also i have a rom which makes it relly easy to get 850Mhz back. Im at work at the moment so cant post that yet either.
Im using JVE modem with multi csc which works great in new zealand, JVE good for battery too.
pm me if your interested.
Choice one.
Keeping all the New Zealand info in one thread for neatness.
I've just moved in New Zealand from UK. I have UK SGS I9000.
Which New Zealand network would you recommend getting a Sim Card for?
Should I switch my ROM to a New Zealand based one? Hoping to use the free SatNav software too (is it called Navigon or something?), in case this makes a difference on ROM choice.
I've been told that 2degrees is the cheapest network.
Are there any hardware / software limitations on which network I should choose with a UK unit? 850Mhz band availability?
Love to hear your thoughts...
Thanks
Mike
Welcome to NZ. The network will depend on your location: 2 Degrees is cheap but has low coverage in rural areas, Vodaphone is ok in cities. I am with NZ Telecom, they get a bit of flak for problems they have had in the past. However, they are investing huge amounts and have the best rural coverage. Please be aware that your phone will have to use the 850 band in some areas.
I recommend the JL2 modem (ROM kitchen) and Darky 9.3 with Voodoo kernel.
Navigation for GPS use.
I'm with 2Degrees and they're cheap. But as a poster above had mentioned, the coverage outside big cities is limited, especially for data. This of course will change with time. Plus I'm a big supporter of NZ owned businesses.
Vodafone is a horrible company to deal with. Plus they have a lot of network issues everywhere in the country.
I have heard good things about the XT network (Telecom) in terms of speeds and coverage. If I wasn't on the tight budget, this is what I would choose in NZ. I hope this helps. :>

Just a quick correction, coverage is fine as the device roams on Voda when out of zone. So if there's voda coverage, there's 2degrees coverage (data is not as cheap though).
I'm using CM7, JPM. All seems fine.
Hello from Hamilton.
Thanks for the advice.
I'm probably going to be mainly in the Wellington region, so should have reasonable coverage on any network. Glad to hear that 2degrees has roaming on Voda though.
Will my UK I9000 SGS have 850MHz band available in the hardware? (sorry if this is a silly question). Will it be used if I have the correct firmware? Is 850MHz band used by all networks in NZ, or only for some networks?
All of the networks appear to be quite pricey for data. Who are the most cost effective for data? I'll be looking for either PAYG or Monthly Sim Only deals.
Thanks again for the great info.
Mike

I presume you're talking about 850MHz 3G and not 2G.
Vodafone and 2degrees have 900MHz 3G.
Telecom has 850MHz 3G.
I think your UK i9000 supports 900MHz from what I have managed to find out.

ive got an international i9000 that i bought before work (telecom) stocked them - so I cant get staff subsidy on my cell heh - I have 2degrees - because of the data pack and living in town - it was bad coverage where i lived out on the west coast at murawai - but in town i have no issues - even in the middle of the telecom borg cube building - i get my 2degrees data and voice coverage
I cannot recommend anyone to you - but I have converted some of the telecom staff i9000's to darkyrom's The theory is that version of the rom supports the 850mhz band - I guess I find out tomorrow with one of them
About backing up your factory rom - root the rom is the minimum first step and then you can make an odin image out of whatever is on the phone.

Thanks guys.
I've gone with 2 degrees for now on a simple pre-pay sim and all looks good. I'll see how much I use it and maybe get an appropriate monthly contract if needed in the future.

Quick further question...
Which CSC code do New Zealanders have? Should I, stick with my generic UK code, or move to a NZ one? What do you use and recommend?
Does which CSC I have affect my ability to use Navigon for free?
(I forget what my current CSC code is, but I noticed my Google Market is now priced in NZ dollars already, but they want to charge me for navigon download, which I thought was free over here. Ultimately I'll deal with Navigon, in the Navigon thread, and ask about CSC here... Just wondering if there is any implications of what makes a better CSC.)
hey guys,
just want to ask, which pool do you use for gps?
I'm currently setting mine to north america pool but I'm not sure if it's the best one to use in NZ.
anyone knows the best gps pool to use in NZ?
I want fast and accurate lock

If you've rooted your sgs then try using this app called GPS AIDS from the market. Its very good, i usually get a gps lock in 5-10 seconds indoors with a cold start.

Yea, I've been using that app for a while now.
It is very good indeed.
But I would like to improve it more by chaning gps pool through this app actually.
I was wondering whether I should use NZ server for gps or worldwide one...
Set to oceania.pool.ntp.org using FasterFix or other suitable apps.
Has anybody gone 2.3.3 yet? If yes, what about the modem performance on the XT network?

O rite. From what i remember there's only 3 or 4 to choose from(europe, north america, i mite be forgetting one). The results i posted above were for the europe pool. so i reckon anything better than that would do.

Sorry, I cannot answer that with certainty. I do not believe that there are vast differences. I have tried Asia, North America and our version Oceania. I am however, very unhappy with the GPS performance, in particular the length of time to get a fix. Needleess to say, I have followed most guides and tried various fixes. I am, however, limited in changing modems as I rely on 850mhz band.
Hi all,
Just moving to Melbourne from the UK and I wondered if the S2 will work there.
Moving from Vodafone probably to Amaysim which is on the Optus network.
There seems to be a lot of variations of S2 and I am a bit confused.
TIA
Dred
Yes . The I9100 and the I9100P(Only difference is has NFC chip) is compatible in Australia . I'm ON amaysim. They are great
Making the same move in a month's time and figured it would be ok, but thanks for the confirmation.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
3G bands used by the 3 networks and resellers in Australia are:
Vodafone- 850/900/2100mhz (900mhz is primarily in rural areas).
Optus- 900/2100mhz
Telstra- 850/2100mhz
I'm sure most (all?) variants of the S2 have these bands.
Just check if your S2 is locked .
Sent from my GT-I9100
Thanks all and I must remember to unlock it. Time for another little adventure in to the SG2.
I was just getting worried about variations and the various data frequencies and I haven't really kept up with it all. I am still thinking about gsm frequencies only
vodafone. O2, CPW hand sets should be open very rear case are these locked..
Place a orange tmobile sim to find out
I bought a Samsung Note 3 couple of years back when it released in Saudi Arabia. Brought it to Bangladesh but the phone wouldn't work since it got region locked despite me buying an unlocked phone.
I took it to local repair shops and whole they did manage to unlock it, I'm not quite sure how they went about it. I can't use 3G on the phone here in Bangladesh and only 2G works.
I went to Canada and the phone didn't work there. Tried Bell I think and it didn't work. I also went to Malaysia and nothing worked there as well.
So my question is this, did they somehow change the bandwidth range availability or something on it? Can it be re enabled flashing a kernel or am I asking something dumb?
Modem/baseband and CSC for network .
Depends upon what spectrum the network uses as well .Also depends upon phone model .

Check the model # in download mode and post it here. Every note 3 should work in Canada in the Bell network @ 3g. Bell does not have a 2g network.
