Lower the frequency better Penetration right.

iphones are the creation of people with nowhere left to turn
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
But like I said, T-Mobile doesn't use just 1700mhz, it uses the combined 1700/2100mhz AWS frequencies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
To the OP: Do you have a phone without AWS that you can use to test and see if you are actually picking up that tower? Or a non-Nexus Samsung phone that can be restricted using the band select menu.

I don't think a SIM card needs to be re-provisioned just because the carrier has a new frequency. All the folks who started seeing 3G on their unlocked iPhones were using SIMs they'd had for years.

It's not a combo. In Europe they don't refer to the IMT band as 1900/2100 combo, they just call it 2100. And they don't refer to the DCS band as 1700/1800, just as 1800. It's one band, and for the purpose of North America, "1700" as a band unambiguously means AWS. In Japan though there is a different 1700 band.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Like he said, he has a friend with an iPhone right there that gets HSPA service w/ T-Mobile. My assumption would be that he needs a new SIM, but again I'm not sure if that's the case, I'm not intimately knowledgeable of how T-Mobile is doing their provisioning.

Just because its sometimes referred to as 1700 doesn't mean that it doesn't use both 1700 and 2100 as a combination.

"The AWS band uses microwave frequencies in two segments: from 1710 to 1755 MHz for uplink, and from 2110 to 2155 MHz for downlink." (Wikipedia)

This is why it's referred to as "1700/2100mhz", although often just "AWS"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
I don't understand why a new sim is required. People using old sims in iPhone's have been reporting 3G being available as T-mobile has turned on new markets with the new band.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rome425:
I just changed my sim card about one month ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
The problem is, even mentioning 2100 causes unnecessary confusion because for years before the band entered use, 2100 was already well established as referring to the 1900 up / 2100 down IMT band. It leads people - and you've seen them on the forums - to think that they can buy a device with IMT and use it on an AWS carrier.

So "1700" alone is actually less ambiguous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just as ambiguous. Pretty sure calling it "1700/2100mhz AWS" is pretty clear. Not sure how dropping the 2100 part helps the ambiguity problem.

Calling it 1700mhz gives off the wrong impression, implying that it'd be better building-penetration wise, even though half of the traffic goes over 2100mhz which performs worse at penetrating buildings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Because you want to tell customers, when they are trying to figure out if a phone is compatible, to look for 1700. Not for 2100. If you even mention 2100 they will get led down the wrong path. 2100 already had a meaning in the mobile world way back when IMT was first used for 3G service overseas in the year 2002. And the established meaning of 2100 as a cellular band is something that is not operated anywhere in North America.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
Or, you can just tell customers to look for both 1700 and 2100 (AWS), which is both unambiguous, and correct. Whereas calling it simply 1700 is misleading. Customers who are shopping in the US are not likely to have heard of the 2100 band used overseas anyway, so your point is moot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Still going to lead to confusion. There are some AWS phones that do not have IMT 2100. In many cases the specs will therefore say 1700 but will not mention 2100.

You're right that customers shopping in the US are unlikely to know about European bands. But a lot of AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Bell, Rogers, Telus, etc. devices include IMT 2100 support without AWS. So when you mention 2100 in terms of compatibility, those customers are going to see 2100 on a label and say "Oh, that must be it."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
Yes, but when you factor in the higher frequency downlink (tower->phone) with the lower-power lower-frequency uplink (phone->tower), the general characteristics of AWS (1700) is almost identical to the PCS (1900) band

A new sim is not required. The sim doesn't know or care about frequencies. It's only a user authentication. Not much different than going to a movie theater. They don't care if you drove or walked or rode a bike to get there. They don't even pay attention to that. As long as your ticket is good, they'll let you into the theater.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Just because customers may not have heard of the 2100 band doesn't mean that they cant accidentally buy a device that only supports the 2100 band. If you're referencing "1700" then it must be assumed that you're referencing a frequency band. And by definition, a frequency band is 2 sets of frequencies bound together. As cmstlist has pointed out:

1. There is already a 2100 band.

2. No other band identifies both sets of frequencies, although all FDD bands have non-contiguous frequency sets.

3. The 1700/2100 naming convention leads to confusion in cases (albeit rare) where a device supports only US frequencies, or only a few frequencies.

As an example, most listings for cell phone frequencies are listed as

850/900/1700/2100

In the below example, does the following phone *only* support AWS (1700) or does it also support the international IMT band (2100)?

http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_g2-3518.php

Using "your" (i know it's not yours, but for our purposes here it's accurate) naming convention, it is not at all clear whether the G2 above is a single-band or a dual-band phone.

By listing only 1700 to reference the AWS band (as is the case with every other band), this removes confusion. The G2 is a dual-band device.

4. As for the "other" 1700 band (Band IX) - it's really only used by E-Mobile in a single country: Japan. It is an exception for Japan's mess of wireless frequencies. The exponentially more popular AWS band is allocated for use in all of North America and almost all of South America. It's in active use by multiple telecom companies in multiple countries in the Americas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rome425:
So, there is no way to force my GN to use 1900MHz?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orangekid:
You can try going to network settings and in mobile networks, manual search and select AT&T and see if it sticks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
The OP is trying to connect to T-Mobile PCS HSPA, not AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orangekid:
Lol..

At&t uses pcs h+, so forcing at&t manual might recognize the 1900 if it's preset to call 1900 Att and 1700 T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rome425:
Selecting AT&T does not work.

I also tried my sim in old AT&T Nokia E71, and it gave me 5 bars of 3G. But I only get one or two bars on my GN connected to 1700/2100MHz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
AT&T does it wrong. You need a 4G sim to get the HSPA+ working and on top a active HSPA+ data package. Nokia is 3G thus the sim only recognizes the 3G and its currently on the 3G data pack and not the HSPA+. I was told by reps at AT&T.

#Galaxy Nexus HSPA+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
The network identities are recognized by MCC MNC codes, not by frequency.

As for the OP: sometimes the meanings of the signal bars are not consistent from phone to phone. As long as you get a signal and you get decent speeds, relax.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orangekid:
Good to know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dan1431:
The OP issue is odd as the SIM should not play a role in frequency acquisition.

In the case of at&t the SIM does determine an accounts ability to utilize a type of DATA (UMTS/HSPDA/HSPA/HSPA+/LTE), but not the frequencies available.

My only thought is that for whatever reason the GNEX is not scanning properly and seeing the T-Mobile 1900MHz frequency or there is some issue with the cell site / phone negotiating for 3G on 1900MHz.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] proxus01:
Did anyone ever find a way to force the GN onto 1900mhz? I know its working here in NYC but from what I can tell its still choosing the 1700mhz network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jawmail:
Get to *#*#4636#*#* goto phone information, menu, select radio band and pick USA band, it has been told somewhere that this forces the elusive 1900 mhz band if it's near, if it's not near you get edge which is better inside buildings so all is not lost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] proxus01:
I don't see a USA band. I can choose between gsm or wcdma. And there is one option for evdo. Is the USA band The gsm auto option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] proxus01:
Unfortunately no 1900 mhz in Mid-Town/Lower Manhattan or Jersey City on my GN. After switching to USA Band I am only getting EDGE. Will keep testing, hope they make change soon.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] exdox77:
I've been trying to use several apps to enable wifi hotspot including wifi tether, foxfi, barnacle, and many others. I it will activate but the hotspot name does not show up on other devices. However when I switched the device to 3G it will show up and connect. After messing with the settings in the app wifi hotspot I was able to get it show up on other device but not connect. Again I switched to 3G and it worked time, just not 4G speeds.

Any thoughts. I am on a rooted SIII and have the latest Verizon version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] regalsat:
foxfi rename network name

Here are some tips to help your usage:

1. On some models if you run into WiFi problem after using the Hotspot, simply reboot your phone and rename the hotspot before activating to clear the issue.

2. For some Samsung phones if your computer is not able to get an IP address, try to turn on WiFi on the phone first and make sure it does not connect to any WiFi network, then turn on FoxFi.

3. FoxFi is tested on non-rooted phones. If your phone has a rooted ROM it may or may not work.

4. When WiFi hotspot is activated you may also see a hotspot notification of the built-in WiFi hotspot feature. Please ignore it. As long as you do not sign up for a tether plan you won't be charged.

5. If you enter or change the hotspot password, make sure you rename the hotspot also before activating.

6. Sometimes Windows need a "repair" on the WiFi menu to get a correct IP address.

Hi.

So I know there can be very stupid sayings so immediately say:

I got my friend's Android , didn't tell me anything about it, but I know that it was ROOTED and stock ROM.

Now i am GingerDX 2.3.7, there werent any funny stuff, installed it good ( abt 4 months ago)

Or if you just dont want to click, it says:

"ROM requirements:

First latest baseband

Second Unlocked bootloader

3rd CWM Recovery

4th Best naa kernel / kernel Alf! "

Latest baseband - idk, mine ends with 015, as far as I heard its the latest (?)

Bootloader don't even know, really want o find out

CWM recovery is there

Kernel seems i have stock - (02/06/29 SEMCUser SEMCHost @ # 1)

So I want to ask you, how to know whether the bootloader unlocked / unlocked

What is my kernel?

People do overestimate the difference in sound quality between the sgs and other phones.

Yes, the chip in the sgs really shines with voodoo sound's amazing mechanics, but this isn't something you'll hear or can take advantage of with stock earbuds, dre or skullcandy headsets. You need at least an entry level hi fi setup or a decent set of headphones. Until you get to that point, you might as well just be using an eq.
