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)
==================================================
Model: GT-I9020T
Compatibility: T-Mobile USA, Wind, Mobility (900/1700/2100)

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.
Yesterday I fell prey to purchasing a T8585. Which will not work for me in 3G. I figured that out after I purchased. However I may have got the seller to stop the device from going out. He says he contacted the warehouse to stop, he hasn't emailed me again yet.
Anyway I had another thought that I haven't seen on this site before. Since the hd2 t9193 is so incredibly expensive and out of my price range, and I may have to drop this WM6/android phone obsession in general. I can't find any where that offers a price under $600. People realize what they have and that it's highly sought after. Like a late model sports car, not made anymore. Has anyone thought of this idea: That of, Taking a hot fine-point soldering iron and pulling the 900/2100 3G band chip off the board, and replacing it with another one that will work? Is it that rare of a kind of chip... not possible?
Obviously the builders do it easily.
I asked nearly the same question to 'Wayne Hardman' of Hattix and received this reply:
---The short answer is: "No".
The long answer is that on UMTS Or HSDPA the T9193 is an 850 MHz device, while the T8585 is 900/2100, but the kicker is that you need to replace the entire logic board. The T9193 is hardware locked to not use 800 or 900 MHz bands while the T8585 is locked to not use 850 MHz (some Broadcomm patent or other) and you need to replace the entire baseband to do that. Some of the baseband is in the "radio chip", but some of it is also in the QSD8250 SoC.
So what I'd do is indeed replace the entire logic board. Just pick one up from eBay which has a smashed screen or something like that. Alternatively, if you don't care much for 3G at all (why not carry around a MiFi or similar?) then both devices will work on AT&T's 2G/EDGE network."----
But I do care about 3G. To follow up on my 1st thread, I have not heard again from the seller as to whether it has been shipped or stopped, nor has the money been returned.
I was able to cancel my transaction completely, and I received a full-refund. I was fortunate. I'm now considering to give up completely on the Win 6.5. It is sad really. I cannot find any good way to live in both worlds anymore. The HD2 was a good dream. Pretty soon I will purchase a high-end Android phone with top-of-line specs under a contract.
I would love a T9193
I live in mexico an have the same problem with 3G and would love to get my hands on a T9193, 3g would work great!
Which one is for tmobile and which is for att?
Sent from my PIXELDROID HD2 using Tapatalk 4
TMOUS HD2 is for t-mobile US with 1700/2100 3g
this model has 1GB flash memory, green call & red end key & plastic body extends about 1.5mm extra from bottom edge of the glass screen to incorporate the different radio hardware
T9193 is Australia Telstra model with 850/2100 3g which did work under att
T8585 is standard worldwide model with 1900/2100 3g
All models are quad-band GSM but TMOUS model has by far the best reception from my testing due to better antenna design.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but can i just swap the logic board from mt TMOBILE HD2 into my new HTC HD2 T8585?
If USA T-Mobile with green/red call/end keys the board probably won't fit in the EU T8585 rear housing as USA T-Mobile mainboard is bit longer & casing on the USA T-Mobile differs to allow for this.
T8585 boards can go to USA T-Mobile but usb & headset socket sit short.
You best looking into it as you could use the USA T-Mobile rear cover housing too perhaps.
I bought this phone on ebay as a replacement paid a good price.
I love the phone and that its already on android except even though he said its a T-Mobile phone its not.
I am stuck on edge when I have a 4g plan I should get 3g/Japan
Can I try a radio flash or something or am I screwed. The 2g is half decent but sorry on streaming radio.
I wish my seller was more specific grrrrrrrrr.
Hspa not japan

If t-mobile USA TMOUS it will have red & green coloured end/call keys (eu all white), it will have 1gb phone storage (eu 512mb), it will have 1.2mm extra length in rear cover moulding under buttons/digitizer glass, easiest way to see this is that TMOUS unit headset jack is smooth & flush to back housing, eu version headset jack has slight raised lump in back housing to incorporate it.
Eu & TMOUS hd2 have different bands for 3G, t-mobile usa was using 1700mhz & eu does not cover this band of 3G. have a word with T-Mobile & ask them confirm they still using 1700mhz & if you conclude your HD2 is an eu version then you have your answer ...
mister b would a logic board or antenna from a tmous usa hd2 change it to give 3g bands i hate to give up on it so easily. I discovered i have a eu hd2,

Mainboard of TMOUS does not fit in EU housing & you would want housing as has antenna on it.
Check with T-Mobile to confirm bands before writing it off as I thought they had been updating networks & had some 2100mhz support so worth confirming band status with them.
If indeed still restricted with 1700mhz you would be best selling & getting a tmous hd2 which should be easy in US ...
Hi,
I need to replace my Samsung Note 8.0 and I'm looking for a high performance 8 inch tablet with SIM capabilities. Samsung did not release a Tab S3 8 inches and also the 10 inch version with LTE is still not out. Nvidia also dropped the K1 with LTE. So I was searching for the HUAWEI M3 LTE but I also cannot find it online!?!
Any help? I need it shipped to the US
Thanks!
I bought mine from a seller on Ebay. There are several listed over there right now. Be forewarned that you won't get LTE speed in the U.S. on any carrier that I can find. The LTE version just doesn't have the proper bands for U.S. carriers. I generally see 3G and some HSPA + on Tmobile in the Chicago area. The upside is that 5ghz wifi is enabled on the LTE version since it isn't meant to be sold in the U.S. I do wonder if I'd have any warranty coverage if anything comes up, but so far everything is flawless.
It is available in Europe on Amazon. amazon.it is the cheapest. But I don't know if they can ship it to the US.
I got mine from eBay as well.

Does it have LTE B5? I live in Guatemala. Also B5 should work on AT&T?
(All info online says that it does have B5)

It came with European ROM (best)
So I would highly recommend this tablet without a doubt.
Great Perfomance:good: (4GB RAM + Kirin 950 processor)
Excellent Bluetooth :good:
Excellent WIFI :good:
Excellent Screen/Display :good:
Excellent Speakers :good:
Excellent & Long battery life :good: ( anywhere between 4 to 7 days with SOT of 11 hours consistently and sometimes 12 hours or more )
Fast Finger print scanner :good:
Can easily update to Android 7.0 - steps in another thread.
Regarding the SIM capabilities - I haven't used it with a SIM yet but I hope anyone else with same tablet can share their experience.
I use my tablet in Aeroplane mode as I don't have extra SIM but still gr8 performance. (battery is so good in standby)
Please see the screenshots..
Hope this will help you decide on your purchase.
