Before you get a non-rogers card, can you try doing a manual network selection and verify that you also see Wind mobile listed. IIRC, the Lumia 900 wouldn't even detect Wind.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

On the other hand, EG8196 and hkalltheway are the only people in any of these threads who have actually used the phone and they both confirm that it was unlocked out of the box and that they are either using it on Wind or have had Wind show up on a network scan.

All the conflicting evidence is based on Nokia specs and claims which have historically been off base. For example, in the HoFo thread, there is a guy who said Nokia told him the N8 wouldn't work on Wind (we all know it does).

This guy is showing some more screenshots of it working, I guess that solves it!
[Nokia Lumia 920] psalmu:
Ok, gift horse, mouth etc... but what's with "made a few calls to test"? How hard would it be to try and see if you really get 3G web browsing?
[Nokia Lumia 920] mapleleafs89:
Well if it connects to Wind Home (I dont know if you are in the US) but Wind only has a 3G network - so if it connects to Wind Home and not Wind Away (Rogers 2G Roaming Network) then it has 3G connectivity.
[Nokia Lumia 920] psalmu:
Indeed I am and I didn't know that. No U.S. cell customer could even imagine things being that simple :cyclops: So, is it possible to purchase a Rogers 920 anywhere by phone or online? I didn't see any hint of it at rogers.com.
[Nokia Lumia 920] fraincs:
When I called today my Rogers store they told me it was sold out in my province but the real release date is November 12th.

Pretty sure you can't order by phone. I hope the release batch will be unlocked as weel since the few Lumia 920 that were at Rogers today were pre release ones and that might explain the unlock version. Or Rogers wanted to test the water before launching it in order to figure out if it,ll sell well.
[Nokia Lumia 920] xsever:
I got the first Lumia 920 probably in Canada and have been doing the reviews on the WPCentral forum.

I just put a Fido sim card in it and made a call and even got 3G data on it.

Therefore, the phone in FACTORY UNLOCKED.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ramrandhawa:
Intriguing . . . I just picked mine up today. I'll try getting my hands on a Bell sim card tomorrow and test it out.

I wonder if we just got lucky, and the first batch that Rogers released happened to be unlocked; there are some odd things about it, for example the keyboard has a button that says ".co.uk" in place of the one that normally says ".com" . . . even though all the localization settings I can find are set for Canada. There's probably a way to change that but I haven't figured it out yet.

The software to sync to Windows 7 is half-baked (still in beta), and even the RT software to sync to the Surface is shoddy (doesn't do podcasts or music well at all, and we don't get the podcast marketplace in Canada). I imagine these things will be fixed in the next week or so, but it feels a little like Rogers took everyone by surprise shipping these phones out as fast as they did.
[Nokia Lumia 920] xsever:
Go to Keyboard and use the English (United States) to get rid of .co.uk
[Nokia Lumia 920] jattsober:
Confirmed, yes it works with Wind and the MMS as well

I bought one today and yes Rogers Nokia Lumia 920 works with Wind Mobile Canada,,period.
[Nokia Lumia 920] hkalltheway:
Can anyone confirm if tethering works? Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 920] JoshP84:
All of these confirmation posts are coming from people who bought the phone from Rogers. Would there be any reason the ones bought from AT&T (when they finally release them) wouldn't support Wind?

AT&T has much better color selection...
[Nokia Lumia 920] mapleleafs89:
I think its probably the same NA version of the phone. But someone with AT&T would need to clarify. Does AT&T offer the grey version?

AT&T also has their logo plastered on the 920 am I right? Where as rogers doesn't (at least from what I hear).
[Nokia Lumia 920] psalmu:
The main reason would be that AT&T is absolutely obsessed with locking, blocking and disabling everything. It's extremely unlikely that they would leave their precious exclusive unlocked.
[Nokia Lumia 920] mustang123:
So If we buy the 920 Rogers version, will we get 3G Speeds on T-Mobile in USA?

I am on T-Mobile Prepaid
[Nokia Lumia 920] spincel:
Will there be a chance that LTE in the Roger model or non-ATT model disable? Heard someone said that because some markets currently don't have LTE, therefore, the carrier will disable it. I know for most Nokia phones, if the phone support something, Nokia can have a firmware that either disable or enable it depends on the need of it.

Also, where is the cheapest place to get the Roger model or European model, and ship it to US?
[Nokia Lumia 920] ramrandhawa:
Yup, using it now to post this.
[Nokia Lumia 920] hawc1506:
If I remember correctly, a few months ago when Nokia confirmed that AWS was an "error", they changed their website.

I just checked and it looks like AWS has reappeared. Am I correct, or did Nokia never bother to change the website in the first place?

http://www.nokia.com/global/products/phone/lumia920/specifications/
[Nokia Lumia 920] jattsober:
Yes it will, I get the 4G sign on Wind sometimes when I am downloading stuff.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Insert_here:
I think that has something to do with contact from the US division. Nokia answered correctly since the US version of the L920 is only on AT&T and the AT&T model doesn't carry the 17/21 bands, but that's my guess as to what happened when WPCentral contacted them.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tai4de2:
I can confirm that this device gets 3G on T-Mobile in the USA. I started a thread about it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] :
Where are these available to purchase online?
[Nokia Lumia 920] hkalltheway:
Can you please explain how you got it to work? Most of us in Canada are reporting that it doesn't work.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ramrandhawa:
Sorry, I should have been more clear; when I said I got tethering, I meant wi-fi tethering, by turning on Internet Sharing from the settings page. Seems to work fine for me . . . I haven't used USB / wired tethering in years, and so wouldn't know how to get that set up.
[Nokia Lumia 920] hkalltheway:
In Canada, even wifi tethering isn't working for non-rogers networks.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ramrandhawa:
Doh . . . in my excitement I forgot that this thread was about Wind. I've only tested tethering on Rogers, sorry. :( I have heard there may be an issue with the APN settings that prevents it from working with other carriers -- don't know if that's something that someone will figure out how to get around . . .
[Nokia Lumia 920] hawc1506:
Just checked again today. AWS has been removed again from the global website.

Sometimes I even wonder if Nokia knows which versions have which bands :P
[Nokia Lumia 920] kenikh:
Very cool. I have a buddy in Victoria on Rogers and will have him grab me one. Once I get it, I'll do a full test on AT&T and T Mo on 3G, 4G and WiFi sharing. Killer.
[Nokia Lumia 920] JMackey:
Heh, I hope you can wait until the 12th. My room mate and I picked up 2 of the 3 Lumia 920s in Victoria.

Pass on to your friend that only the Hillside store got any and that they REFUSE to sell them without a contract.

PS: The 920 can see a Wind network here in Victoria. No SIM to test with though.
[Nokia Lumia 920] stylinred:
does anyone know if the current batch of 920s are still unlocked / pentaband?
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Has anyone even received a 920 from the new batch? I know Rogers released it today, but I haven't heard of anyone picking one up...
[Nokia Lumia 920] brad1825:
New 920 batch unlocked?

I'm waiting to hear this as well
[Nokia Lumia 920] stylinred:
ah okay i had thought that the new batch has been out for awhile

guess i may be the first guinea pig :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] ile2010:
No need. I bought one yesterday. Can't confirm if it's pentaband (box says it is), because it's locked. Still waiting for an unlock code. Fist site couldn't generate the code for me.
[Nokia Lumia 920] nMIK-3:
So are you saying that the second wave of Rogers Lumia 920 are now carrier locked?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Big.Bang:
Yes, they are carrier locked. They only work on Rogers and Fido unless unlocked.
[Nokia Lumia 920] timriley:
It sounds like several folks are having luck getting unlock codes from Rogers. Anyone with an unlocked phone from this second batch of carrier-locked Rogers phones try a Wind or Mobilicity (or Tmobile) simcard yet?
[Nokia Lumia 920] geoken:
People with the new batch have confirmed that Wind shows up during a network scan. IIRC, on the Lumia 900 Wind woudln't show up at all. I think the fact that it shows up during manual network selection is almost a guarantee that the new batch, while locked, still have AWS support.
[Nokia Lumia 920] spincel:
It has AWS from the box as well as Rogers website states it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] chicano_25:
2nd batch 920 — unlocked by Rogers — works on Mobilicity but....

Hey guys,

on tuesday I went to a rogers store and just paid to get me a new phone, 599+tax. Yesterday I called Rogers to unlock my phone, they said ok, gave me a code which at first didn't work because their code had symbols and letters, and I could only enter numbers. anyways, we figured that out, PIN was accepted and phone is now unlocked.

I went to my cousins house late last night to use his Mobilicity SIM card to test it out. I had to manually select Mobilicity from the list but it did work. on my homescreen it shows "Mobilicity" as the carrier's name. I was able to call my house number, and I even had a 4G indicator at the top with 4 out 5 bars.

there are a 2 things that Im trying to figure out before i leave rogers for good. IF Im to manually restart my phone, or if it crashes ( which it did ) I have to always go to my settings, select mobilicity and wait for it a few mins before the phone is usable.

last problem, which is the biggest one right now. I had a lot of problems getting data to work, meaning, no internet. I had to manually enter a few APN settings, one of them work ( wap.davewireless.com ) BUT IT WAS SUPER SLOW... I did a speed test, and it was 1.01mbps download... on a 4G network?

This is my first time doing this, but if anyone have any other settings I NEED to put on my phone, please let me know, I'll test them out and post results.

Thanks guys :good:
[Nokia Lumia 920] Big.Bang:
The data speed of Mobilicity seems normal. They can have really poor data speeds or really fast data speed, depending on where you're located. Perhaps you can try Wind Mobile instead, they have better coverage and higher data speeds.
[Nokia Lumia 920] chicano_25:
1mbps is normal? even on a 4G network? thats crazy! my reception was really good, sound quality was excellent. Im just not sure I'll have the patience to wait on such a slow network.

I was told that Wind and Mobilicity have the same coverage area, and have the same speeds. I'll go to a Wind store and test it out.

thanks
[Nokia Lumia 920] hkalltheway:
Hey all,

Anyone notice what I am noticing in Mississauga (Mavis / Matheson)...when I turn on my phone, it takes at least 5 minutes + to initialize data. Before that, whenever I load internet explorer or any other app that uses data, it doesn't work. In internet explorer, it gives a DNS error, and no sites load for at least 5 mintues after starting up my phone.

When I put a Bell SIM, roger, or fido sim, they all seem to work immediately after turning on the phone. This issue only seems to be there with wind. Anyone else?
[Nokia Lumia 920] oceansaber:
You'll have to enter in the Internet APN settings manually for Wind. I had the same problem with Mobilicity, where I could get cell reception but no data connection, and manually entered in my APN settings. You'll have to google them (don't know it off the top of my head)
[Nokia Lumia 920] snailium:
I have experienced dropped calls twice and internet cut off several times (no 3G/4G indication next to the signal bars), with my Lumia 920 on Wind network. At the same time, my coworkers wind phone doesn't work either. So I assume this is Wind network problem.

I think Wind needs to increase number of towers in GTA.
[Nokia Lumia 920] jattsober:
Wind is way better than Mobilicity.

I have Nokia Lumia 920 on Wind since Nov.1 and it is doing wonders.
[Nokia Lumia 920] UltraNoob:
wind in the guelph/tri-city area is pretty awesome. My brother is on it and he gets signal pretty much everywhere he goes and his data speeds are equivalent to mine (bell HSPA+) most of the time
[Nokia Lumia 920] Deepfunkysoul:
Hey Guys

Not that I don't believe any of you :rolleyes: but could some one please post a video confirming the 920 working on Mobilicity. Just want to make sure is all. Otherwise I'll stick to my lumia 710 till the 2nd gen winphone8 come out.
[Nokia Lumia 920] korben44:
I picked up a Lumia 920 from Rogers and have it working on AT&T with 4G HSPA. We don't have LTE yet in this area. I did have to add APN settings manually to get data to work on it though.

White Lumia 920

I would love it someone could help me... I have a White Lumia 920 from rogers, unlocked.

I went to Wind, and when the sales guy tested his sim, it found the Wind Network and allowed a manual selection of Wind 3G but would never accept the SIM, or allow him to place calls. This was in Brampton ON

Can anyone tell if the product is compatible, or did they disable the other network sims:

I am using PdaNet (Free) but it limit to http but not https connection.

ICS got native usb tethering. But ICS is not stable. My phone shutdown automatically just some minutes ago with KU5900 repack.

I tried to implement it but failed... it produced BSODs on my Win7x64...

To say that Clockworkmod Tether works fine on our phone... but it's a pay app... and needs an app installed on PC too...

One of the problems of Wifi Tether is that WiFi spot is battery hungry... but if you use USB tether... you have to connect your phone... so... Why don't connect your phone to PC via cable and then use WiFi hotspot???

I downloaded a lot of ( 3-4 ) app which is free and all of them are either doesn't work or doesn't seems to support https.

Is there anything I can help huexxx? I am a programmer but I don't know much about android programming.

[Verizon Droid Charge] rudeguy:
My Charge has an issue. It only shows one bar of service...ever.

I am currently running Tweaked 3.0. I thought maybe I flashed a bad radio, so I flashed all the way back to ep4d and still had the same issue. It happens everywhere I go, even in areas where my son's Droid X gets 4 bars.

Any idea what I broke?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Are you running FP5 radios? Anything prior can't properly report signal to the FP5 kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lukegman:
Yur charge with the new radios (software) displays each signal strength seperately ...so when it shows the 4g icon the signal bars display 4g signal strength...I am guessing that Yur sons Droid x displays over all data strength and uses the icon to show what kind...so his signal bars show signal strength and Yur bars show seperate data strengths
[Verizon Droid Charge] rudeguy:
Looks like I have ep4 radio

Link to 5?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I would ODIN ep4 stock and take updates ota. Then flash the ROM of your choice.

I installed Google Wallet on my S3 and it has worked perfect. Except tonight.

Google assigns a "virtual" Mastercard for each of your cards. If you click on one of your cards in the app itself, it will show the virtual number being used.

This guide was tested on my samsung galaxy ch@t gt-B5330 and it worked.

WARNING: this can brick your phone, used on your own risk (both eyes wide open).

The idea behing can be ported on any phone that allows you to upload custom firmware (most samsungs with odin).

The idea is that you escalate to superuser by setting suid on /system/bin/toolbox executable.

By duing that you can run most of the unix commands on android as a superuser.

I is enought for you to copy su utility somewhere where there is not a nosuid option on mountpoint. and make it a suided executable then execute su and get the #.

It's all down hill from here.

I cannot verify for every ics rom out there, but it seems that now ics uses ext4 filesystem for the system partition.

I have made a script that inspects a stock rom firmware isolate the permissions for the toolbox executable and add to them SUID,SUIG.

After that it pachs the firmware back and you can flash it to your device and have a easylly rootable device. (I will post the stept to take to get a standard rooted device).

What you need:

a linux/gnu (it will not work with cygwin because we have to mount the ext4 partition).

simg2img utility (you can get it from xda site it is in ext4_utility packet).

su, busybox and superuser.apk binaries for android (you can take them from a rooting package).

heimdal (for linux) xor odin (for windows and if you cannot flash the firmware on your phone form linux).

I've put all untilities that are not standard into the tar.

just unpack and you have the universal-patch.sh to run over an .tar.md5 firware stock rom.

And post-firmwareUpdate.sh to run after you flash in order to make the root a standard android root.

This was not tested on any other phone (was tested only on GT-B5330) and do it on your own risk.

This rooting does not exploit any weakness (or flaw) in kernel or any thing, it just modifies the stock firmware to make it more flexible so it should be forward compatible with any version of android after ics.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ItzCrooK2UxD:
I assume this would exclude HTC's since you meed to be s-off to flash a firmware. I would probably verify that and edit the title if necessary. Other than that, this looks like it could be helpful.

Hi ETTT,

first of all thanks for your job and effort in finding a solution to this issue.. it has been driving me crazy till now.. but thanx to you i see the light :good: I see it but i cannot really understand the procedure.. Could you please write a step by step explanation of what i need to do. (I am not what we could call a genius with linux).

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ETTT:
If you are refering to the procedure that the script is doing here is the version of step by step (with-out the script):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1956653

If you want to know the step by step with the script, here (I will not respond to more basic than this, like how to boot ubuntu and stuff.):

mkdir -p /tmp/foo

sudo mkdir /mnt

cd /tmp/foo

tar -xzf universal-patch.tar.gz

export PATH=./:$PATH

{get the firmware here and unzip it, it should have a file with .tar.md5 suffix}

./universal-patch.sh {the name of the firmware including the .tar.md5 suffix}

wait a while. you should have by the way about 10 times the size of the zip as free space.

if all goes well you will have a myfrm.tar.md5 rady for flashing.

flash the firmware, and after boot enable usb debuging, hook the phone to pc

sudo adb devices

./post-firmwareUpdate.sh

you should have a rooted phone.

you cannot go any more basic than that.

Have fun.
