Can't get 3G on rogers network with Nexus S! Help required!

[moulamou]

So I just bought a Nexus S form a guy on Kijiji and I can't seem to get 3g to work on the rogers network. I know that it is not a Wind phone as I put my Wind sim card in the phone and I was automatically put into the Wind away zone and I could see I had an R on my status bar. It is showing all of the symptoms of being a Wind phone, Edge network only and calls and text work fine, but doesn't semm to accept it.

Can anyone out there help me. I am by no means a phone person. Just switched from an Iphone 4.

Here's some info about the phone;

Baseband version: I9020XXKF1
Build number: GRK39F
Network: Rogers
Mobile network type: EDGE

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

You need to manually add the Rogers APN info into your wireless network settings.

(menu button -> wireless & network settings -> mobile network settings -> access point names -> menu button -> new APN)

Remove the battery and read the model number underneath. I9020x. What is x?

It is a T.

It is a T.

Does this mean it is an AWS phone as I looked on the internet and it states it uses 900/1700/2100 frequency?

Yes.

T = Mobilicity/Wind

A = Telus/Rogers/Bell/Fido

Try a refund or swap it on kijiji/BST for a rogers compatible version. You need an i9020A.

Also make sure to have a rogers/compatible SIM on hand when getting the phone and plug it in to test the functions.
