PS. did you know that videotron still carries nexus one?

I dont know about now, but it was there the last time I checked
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
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!

GT-i9023 also can be had with a white battery cover, colour is classed as Perl White on the box.
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
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.
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
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.
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
true,though UK is the only part of europe that got the I9020.

i imported mine out of the states
[Nexus S General] jk0l:
the reason the uk got i9020 is bc the uk and the us were the first to get nexus s, hence the i9020 models

i think if you now buy a nexus s in the uk, you will get the later batch which is i9023 like the rest of europe since europe now gets its own version

anyway, my assumption can be wrong since i dont live in the uk
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
I bought the Nexus S here in the UK in December last year and it was the i9020. I've bough another recently (from a different supplier) and this time it's the i9023.

I believe it depends on supplier here.
[Nexus S General] Haadkoe:
FWIW, Mobilicity here in Canada is selling the GT-i9020FSYMCT. It operates on the 1700Mhz AWS band, among others I assume.

I mention this because I keep seeing people refer to the "Canadian Nexus S", and they're NOT talking about this one.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
thanks for pointing out this new model GT-i9020FSYMCT

there are many Canadian & North America models

Rogers has their own release, and Bell, Telus, same with AT&T

although Wind seems to be selling the original i9020 also known as i9020T
[Nexus S General] rgbc:
To view the real model name have a look under the battery, the Mobilicity NS should be the same model as the Wind NS.
[Nexus S General] Haadkoe:
Well I'll be damned, GT-i9020T. Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus S General] fallenguru:
Well, tell that to the English (or British for that matter). :-)

There seems to be, from their point of view, a very definite distinction between the UK and "Europe" - the latter is usually taken to mean mainland / continental Europe only.

Yes, I know, OT.

No that's normal, you have the LCD model.

Just wondering, was the phone imported since you are from Denmark which is in Europe?

Because I think it should be similar to I9020T

To make sure, you may search for some apps in Market to give you accurate info about your phone

I know in SetCPU, there is a tab that does that

Hello, long time lurker here.

I currently live in the US, and I'm about to go back to Korea for my mandatory military service. I want to buy a Nexus S in the states and take it to Korea, because it's a little bit more cheaper here. I saw a post here saying that the i9020T from T-mobile is the same as SHW-M200K, SHW-M200S from Korea. So if I buy the i9020T here would It work in Korea?
[Nexus S General] heinrich:
I9020t works perfectly on Vodacom 3g and voice in South Africa.
[Nexus S General] wibbled:
Here, everyone is saying that the i9023 models are all SCLCD, I found an online dealer selling the i9023 but stating that it has an AMOLED screen.

So, I went and wote them an email, asking why, and they pointed me to this page on the samsung site: (which I can't post in its entirety)

"/my/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/multimedia/GT-I9023FSAXME/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification

It's the samsung dot come site before /my/"

Which states it has an AMOLED..

Who do I believe?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
All i9023's are SLCD, the site is wrong.
[Nexus S General] kms108:
the site was produced when only the i9020 were available, but wasn't updated to indicate the availablilty of the i9023, which was released afterwards.
[Nexus S General] wibbled:
Sounds reasonable, I guess, dunno if I'll ever convince the guys on that site though.

[Nexus S General] ykphuah:
How does the variants correspond to the GSM Model 1 and GSM Model 2 at

http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs

And its stated there GSM Model Supports the 1800 band.

Just yesterday I flashed the i9020a radio on my i9020t to test the 3g connectivity. However I am not sure which frequency I am on now, as my telco supports only 1800 and 2100.
[Nexus S General] mr_raider:
The GSM1 model is the i9020a, or the Robelus/AT&T version. THe GSm2 is the i9020t or Wind/Mobilicity/T-Mobile version.
[Nexus S General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
I dont know about that. My i9023 label is showing:

GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100

Meaning:

GSM/EDGE Frequencies: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

and (Yes BOTH Sets)

UMTS/HSDPA Frequencies: 900 / 1700 / 2100

This is why this device would and could be called a Quad Band, Dual Mode Device.

Dual Modes meaning that the device can run in Edge and or HSDPA.

A lot of devices can run in ONE Frequency at a time, say a phone call. Some newer devices can run in TWO, like say a phone call AND data connection at the same time (EXAMPLE: Whoop there it is came out in 93 or 95 : Apple iPhone Commercial)

I could be wrong, but this is how i thought it was all these years of seller mobile foneys...
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
Semantics, it could be called quad-band due to it's 2G support, but it is only tri-band for 3G.

I think by modern standard it would be called tri-band.

hi guys, i don't have yet may nexus s, but maybe next week i will be able to get one...i would like to ask some questions.

do those model variants differ in hardware except the screen?

will the kernels/roms available will be compatible to a specific model onlY?

and lastly,is there a big difference between the 3g and 4g models? do the roms for 4g comptable with 3g and vice versa?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
SLCD phone is bigger than the SAMOLED. ROMs are compatible between the two.

The 4G is different though, and needs different ROMs to the 3G.
[Nexus S General] zhane0513:
tnx for the quick reply dude. although slcd is bigger in size, both of them have the same screen size right?

I second that, its not compatible with the I9020A as the recent update doesnt work. I got it not long after it came out, and its got the SAMOLED screen. Its supposed to be the same as the initial release in the US, would that make it compatible with the I9020T? None of the other updates seemed to have this compatibility issue until 2.3.6, theres no I9020 listed, just +A or +T.

[Nexus S General] praneethoct11:
Does this mean that SHW-M200K cannot be used Outside Korea?

I want to be able to use the phone in India. How do I go about it.

Thanks for the help
[Nexus S General] jk0l:
@praneethoct11

I think this is something very basic:

First, if you have a smartphone that uses SIM card, then you are able to use it in any countries (where they have carriers using SIM card) since all smartphones nowadays are quadband. You just need to check out which radio bands are yours and theirs to be able to use data.

Second, it is harder if you have a CDMA phone because you have to do some hacking/flashing.

@kibmcz

I think you already have answered your own question. Since you are from Canada, most likely is i9020A, excepts a few like Videotron or Wind.

About i9020,

I think they should be like i9020T since both are released around the same time.

Not 100% sure though. Correct me if I am wrong.
[Nexus S General] praneethoct11:
@jk0l

Thanks for the information.

So since Nexus S(smartphone, GSM) supports quad-band. It should work in All countries.

GSM Bands information by country is at this link

worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

It mentions that 3G in india and korea use 2100MHz.

So the smart phone should be working fine in India.

Thank you.

Do you know what are the Fido compatible Nexus S model number?

AT&T is GT-I9020A. Some Rogers/Fido's are I9020 FSRRWC. Both should be (850/1900/2100).

Tmobile (AWS) model is I9020T. I presume the I9020 FSYMCT (900/1700/2100) is also AWS. But some users are reporting this as a Rogers unit, which I don't think is right.

Can someone clarify this?

Otherwise, is there any difference between the GT-I9020A and GT-I9020F?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oscar615:
I went ahead and re started the phone and it booted up as normal. I am thinking the files did not actually make it to the phone. So what do I do next? USB debugging is on, and it is set up for charge only per the PDF instructions. Maybe it should be in disk drive mode so it can write to the phone?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERIFNOMI:
No you want charge only. You send the files to the phone which then handles the writing. You should just install ADB and do it manually. Following the instructions makes it very easy.

I actually tried manually earlier. It pushed the files went to the boot menu I did that and but it never rebooted. When I finally manually rebooted it would not start but gave me a picture of a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point superimposed over that picture. Tried rebooting again and the same thing. Ended up taking out the battery and plugging in a charger and then it decided to start again.

Now I am very leery. But i do want to root as I want to try some senseless roms.

Personally, I would go with the manual method detailed in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996616. The one-app method is convenient when it works, but the manual method is(IMHO) easier to troubleshoot when something doesn't work. It will also give you a better basic idea of what is going on and what manual steps can help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvice:
I agree...The instructions of the Batch file make it sound very painless and easy. However, I am a slow learner of following those instructions and if you stop the process at any point, it can make it very painful to proceed.

I wound up having to restart the phone and manually went through each line of the batch file. Which is what FreemanB has already suggested you use with his link.

I did finally get it rooted. I tried the manual way several times and never got it to work. I did the automated, also took several times, but it finally worked and I am now having fun with all of the things I can do now.
