Galaxy nexus and 850 mhz bands - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi people recently I trade my Motorola razr with a galaxy nexus, the guy who trade it was using the phone with movistar, in my country it operates on 850 mhz. I use other carrier claro also working on 850 mhz. But with the Sims of that operator (claro) I got no service at all. Maybe it is a old thread but don't know how to search for it and honestly the galaxy nexus has a big forum.
Hope you can help me because I got a plan on claro and don't want to change operators.

It look like you will have to do some flashing, though I am not in your area so I don't know which specific image or radio you need.

thanks for the answers, i was using my xda tablet app and its harder to search, well i search a little, my problem maybe is because the radio installed, i got xx radio which is european, supports 850 but someway it can be causing the probelm with other sim. I find some radios for US and Canada but they are listed for ICS, it can work with jelly bean?

Yes. You should be able to use almost any radio.
And by the way, XX radios are not only for Europe. U.S. devices ship with XX radios as well.

It's probably not related to the firmware on your phone. Did you try it out with a SIM of a different provider?

yes the sims from the other carrier works, both operates on 850mhz

Then it certainly has nothing to do with your device or the firmware. It is either related to your SIM or to your carrier account or a network issue.

Any suggestion to solve this problem? i speak with costumer service of my operator and they told me that theres no support for devices not sold by them, so im stuck with this phone with no signal at all.

I returned the phone, really like it but for me is not working.

Wait. Im confused, is this saying that ypu just posted a rom with fully functional 3G data connection and call capabilities? I must be misunderstanding what this is because there arent already 50 other posts here full of excited folks. Maybe this is just like the Euro firmware huh? Someone with more knowledge than myself explain this please.

I use Galaxy Tab P1000T from Telstra that support HSPA 850 voice and data ^^
Is it possible for one of the DEVs to test this for us.?
I flashed it to my Tab for use with telus. Noticed no difference, except that the signal strength indicator (bars) is consistently one less then normal.
Baseband: P1000TDXKM2
I cannot use Truemove SIM in my Galaxy Tab, since I boyght it in Samsung Mobile Shop and it uses 900 instead of True 850. Now I cannot get 3G in Bangkok . (That is what True says)
Will it help to install this 3G Modem, or do I need to replace my Galaxy Tab?

This is what I want to know too. I'm using original Galaxy Tab and it only supports 900/1900/2100 for 3G.
I'm using 3G sims from i-Kool and i-mobile which are using 2100MHz band from TOT. But I want to use True 3G because I still can use Edge/Gprs outside their 3G coverage area and they included wifi into their internet package which is the most valuable package for now.
But I guess there is no luck for us yet. Because iff it's possible, the DEVs would already integrated those 850MHz supported modem driver from some other Tabs into original Tab already.
Can we get a cwm flashable please?

Ok People... Im on US T-Mobile and decided what the hell... What do I have to lose with Flashing this Modem.. My Sim is for the G2 Phone and guess what I get Edge showing and I get calls... How do you like that??? Well... Im kinda happy but wish it would get some G3 speeds although my G2 phone is a G4 speed.. But for now I will use the Tab in its Edge setting.
you should be careful when trying stuff like this, dont be too exited and flash it right away without re-read the post a few times, to me it looks like any other modem out there such as the bell modem.

Europe!!

Hi everyone.. I'm planning on going to Europe this summer and I wanted to ask if anyone knows if my phone will work with European 3g... Thanks
Btw.. I already have my sim unlock code from t-mobile..

You should be good. I went to the UK and Singapore with an unlocked Nexus One and it worked great. Just got my unlock code for my T989 as I have a trip to Sweden in 2 weeks. I used Giff-Gaff in the UK and Starhub in Singapore. Study the carriers frequencies before you go and buy a pre-paid sim and you will be good to go.

This phone is not pentaband which means it isn't guaranteed to work on 3g for all carriers. It does have 4 of all 5 bands, the only one you're missing is 900mhz so depending on where in Europe you're going you'll have 3g. You'll have to check the specific carrier you plan on using and as long as they support one of the bands, you'll be fine. (meaning they don't only use the 900 bands for 3g)
This will help. Still trying to find the site I used that told the carriers frequencies.

UK Bought DHD usable in Canada?

Hi
I have had my DHD for almost two years. I've mow come to canada for 2 month and was wondering how I can get TELUS aim card working.. no signal is found. It worked ok on multiple UK networks.
Do I need to do more than root. My phone?
Many thanks
Sent from my Milestone using xda app-developers app
It will work if its carrier unlocked. You just need to get a TELUS sim card at any telus in canada. Hspa speeds wont work though because European desire hd uses 1900/2100 MHz and here in north America is 850/1900 mhz.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
I've tried it but no signal was found. It wouldn't connect. My brother thinks it could be hardware. Im using this milestone at the moment which works great on TELUS.

Update:
It's still not working, help would be great!
The APN settings seem to correct for TELUS, however, the only networks which show are Rogers Wireless. The phone still doesn't find TELUS when scanning for networks. Anyone have any idea's?
Could be as simple as the Sim card. Sometimes for what ever reason it just doesn't work and getting a new one helps.

It works fine in an older phone.
You should still try a new sim. Little example of what happend to me
I gave my sister my old iPhone.phone was fully unlocked. Her sim worked in her T-Mobile phone but not in the iPhone. My brothers tmo sim would work . We picked her up a new sim, problem gone
Doesn't seem to make a difference. I think it's to do with the Band Frequencies as I have a UK phone. Would it be because I'm on ICS at all? I've flashed a TELUS radio too which didn't help.
Well you would only be able to get 2g in north america. But now that I think about it I believe telus 2g is cdma then if so theirs nothing you can do
OK I looked it up and telus 2g is cdma. Somebody had told me this on xda a while back but its been so long I forgot about it. Unfortunately you can't use your dhd on telus,though their are other GSM providers
Ah okay. That sucks but thanks for the definitive answer

Can you use an AT&T go phone sim in this phone?

Hi guys,
My friend bought an incredible 2 and paid to have it sim unlocked. He put his at&t go phone sim in it and it doesn't recognize the sim in gsm mode nor does it even register in global mode. I did a search on Google and got yes and no answers on whether this is possible. I figure no one would know better than an xda guy, so any help is appreciated.
Phone is also rooted and s-off if that matters/helps on the newest rooted ota.
Thanks in advance!

Technically speaking yes it should work but the phone will only be able to use the edge network due to limitations on the inc2 being built mainly for cdma network. I would try a different carriers SIM card to test. It is possible the unlock didn't work. I have seen a few people on here using the phone with tmobile which is almost the same network.

Dkstunna's cm9 has working gsm 3g if I remember right
So it is just a matter of flashing a rom that will support it? I see that a few roms say they support GSM. I read somewhere that verizon blocked the radio in the phone from getting AT&T signal, is that true and if so would I need to flash a different radio for it to work? Data does not matter, he mainly uses it for talk and text (why he got an incred 2 for just talk and text is beyond me)

Its not blocked, the phone just doesn't pick up the right band or frequency to get gsm 3g on certain networks, all the different type of data and voice use their own frequency range and our phone can't pick up the right band to get it, our radio is not made for it.

I have rooted and have mine s-off. Prior to doing this Verizon gave me the unlock code for GSM as I travel overseas. I am running aeroevan's cm9 on it and recently tried the local GSM providers SIM here in Wyoming (Union Cellular) in the phone. I switched the network to GSM and it picked up nothing at all. I have used this overseas with a Movistar SIM and have had voice and SMS. Some how I wonder if there is something built in that blocks GMS when the phone can receive a CDMA signal from Verizon.

[Q] Verizon lte 4g Samsung Nexus sch-i515

Hi guys new to the forums i did alot of searching and researching but just cant figure out a solution. I purchased this phone as a replacement to use in canada on the bell mobility network when i first recieved the phone i went to bell and tested with there sim card and the phone would not connect, so after being dissapointed i went home and downloaded and installed the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.1 and unlocked and rooted the phone hopping this was my solution after this i headed back to the bell store and tested again still no luck I am hopping someone has any ideas for me i really would like to get this phone working
thanks
From what I understand, Bell is a GSM network correct? Well, Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The SIM card in our i515 is only for LTE. That's it. It won't work on Bell, I'm pretty sure you need an unlocked GSM Nexus for that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Bell Canada is not a CDMA carrier, you bought the wrong model, research first next time.

if its not from their website, uh yeah... they're pretty much GSM only from what i know of them
EDIT: you found that information not from their website. here's the info you shouldve read: http://support.bell.ca/Mobility/Net..._phone_or_smartphone_work_on_the_Bell_network

You could probably manually program it with the tools autoprime posted here in general for 3G, Talk, and Text but you'll never get LTE on it.

Its all about what frequencies the phones radio has. My old incredible 2 had a different radio and could go to cricket, yet my nexus can't get to any other because of the fact that there's more than one CDMA frequency.
