ATIV S - Hidden Menu - Band Selector - Choose the band you want use ! - Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking

Hello
I don't see this tips for the ativ s and i want share it ... for me it's great... because my phone in canada ( the lte model t899 ) and all others phone always connect to the 1900 mhz band in my area... ( the 850 mhz is available but network setting prefer 1900 mhz )
When i am connected the 850 mhz band i get great signal 3 bar ( i don't want talk db ) - vs 1 bar on 1900 ...
For this reason i like to switch to 850 mhz only... this feature miss me on phone i can't select the band...
This solution is great in some area in usa too... where tmobile is present by exemple... for people who want force to use the 1900 mhz band instead the 1700 aws band... ( some people say you get better speed on 1900 mhz where 1900 mhz is avaible for tmobile )

You go to diagnostic mode
*#0011#
You see the signal in DB here ;p
Press on the screen the back ... then 1.... you are in the umts main menu...
Go to 1 => 8 => 7 => 2 =>
Select 1 for automatic (default setting)...
2 for your own umts/hspa/wcdma band and to force in 3g ... i choose 850 mhz here for me ;p you can choose wcdma all to force your samsung on 3G only !
3 for gsm ...
4 for lte ...
to revert in default setting... just put in automatic...
the setting is not erased when you reboot your phone...
Don't go to any others menu if you don't have any idea what is this !
I don't take any responsability if you fxxx your phone !
For sure this tips work for the international version too
Enjoy and have a nice day !
( PS : if you have or go from a samsung s3/s4 or others samsung you see this menu in many others phone and there are some tweaks on this phone you can unlock for free... my phone is unlocked... i can't test if via this menu you can unlock the phone for free )

This uses the diagnostic dialer, so please take a moment and reply over here. Also can you show us some screenshots?

This worked on my Samsung Omnia 7 too. Symbian had UMTS only setting, WP should have that too.

[Q] Enable HSPA 850 MHz

Hello
Is possible to enable to band HSPA to 850 MHz?
my operator works with 850 MHz
My Wildfire is 900MHz
Looking in the internet I see that HTC Wildfire for Australia have this specification(850/2100)MHz
http://www.htc.com/au/product/wildfire/specification.html
Is possible get the rom or Radio patch of these Phones (Australia) and enable this feature, if the answer is yes, where can i get this rom? or exists other way to enable this feature
Dmonium
Excuse me if my english is so bad
No. The phones either support 900 or 850 Mhz (amongst other frequencies).
If you have a 900 Mhz phone ti will not work on 850Mhz no matter what software you use.
Likewise, my 850Mhz Wildfire will not work on 900Mhz networks
In WildPuzzle rom
Add to Home screen/Shortcuts/Activities/Settings/com.android.settings.BandMode
After start you can Set GSM/UMTS band

[Q] Does the European Optimus 7 supports WCDMA 850?

I bought an European Optimus 7 and it shows on the box "WCDMA 900/1900/2100, GSM850/900/1800/1900"
There's any way to put this phone to work on 3G WCDMA 850 networks at full speed?
Thanks
I own a Telus version of Optimus 7. My phone has the 900 3G band on it. I will tell you how to check whether your modem supports 850 or not. First, you open up the dialer and enter ##634#. This will install the MFG app, that will be accessible through your app list. The password that it asks is 277634#*#. Now you have access to the manufacturer test/setting menu. Proceed to the Engineer Menu, and then Modem Setting, followed by Band setting. There, you should see all the bands that are available, and WCMDA basically means UTMS or 3G. If you have the 850 band, it should be available in this menu. There are two other things you need to do before gaining access to this band, if available. But in order for me to continue, I need to know which carrier you plan to use this phone on. I am going to assume you want to use this in North America and you have already unlocked it. Let me know, and I shall help you further on making your phone functional for a 3G connection. BTW, I am typing this on my Optimus 7...the keyboard is seriously great, and if it wasn't for the loose buttons, I would have absolutely no regret over my purchase.
Thanks.
I saw here, there are these options available:
1.Automatic
2.WCDMA Only
3.GSM Only
4.WCDMA 850
5.WCDMA 1900
6.WCDMA 2100
7.GSM 850
8.GSM 900
9.GSM 1800
10.GSM 1900
11.WCDMA 900
Sorry for picking up this old thread again but there is no final answer on this.
The point is that I'm having the same problem, I have a european E900 and I can see the WCDMA 850 in the MFG settings. So is this working?
I'm going to Thailand next week and wanted to use True Move 3G which is on 850 Mhz.
Ok, just for the record - I am in Thailand now and the 850Mhz 3G Network from True Move is not working on the European E900.
Hope this helps for those who were looking for this answer.

[Q] Omnia7 WCDMA 850?

Does anyone know Omnia7 supports WCDMA 850 (UMTS 850)?
I want know it's supported by hardware but disabled by software,
or does not have hardware capability of WCDMA 850.
My firmware is
PDA: I8700XXJK1
Phone: I8700DXJK1
CSC: I8700XSOJK1
I tried Diagnosis tool.
*#2263#
[2] WCDMA Band Preference
[1] WCDMA 850
then 'Band Pref:WCDMA 850' is displayed.
then tap [Back], WCDMA 850 is not selected, no changes.
I also choose [5] WCDMA 2100 then 'Band Pref:WCDMA 2100' is displayed,
and then tab [Back], now WCDMA IMT2000 is selected.
Why WCDMA 850 could not be selected?
I also tried,
*#1111#
11111111 then [Back] 8 times to enter test mode.
Then,
[3] UMTS RF NV
[1] RF NV READ
[1] WCDMA 2100 and [4] WCDMA 850
I found tx_comp_vs_freq_0 and _1 and [6] tx_lim_vs_freq is all ZERO.
Could you tell me these values is not all ZERO.
But I don't know WCDMA 850 works if these values set correctly...
I digged this topic quite extensively as there's no W-CDMA 2100 MHz in the country I live in.
Unfortunately, I came to a conclusion that like other Samsung (and other brands) phones, there will be two different hardware versions of the phone with different frequencies.
The Omnia 7 frequency range is the following:
GSM : 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
W-CDMA : 900/1900/2100 MHz
The corresponding W-CDMA 850 version would be the Focus.
Hope this helps.
I think it's software locked.
Last night i was playing with the tx_comp_vs_freq_0 values and i found a site giving the correct values for another old samsung phone (not with windows phone).
Unfortunately those values were couples of numbers, for example 27,23,-5,... and so on but the diagnostic tool only gives the possibility of inserting positive numbers (there are not the + and - symbols). However after i inserted the first two values i exited and.... now i have the 3g symbol. I does not work, but I bet that with correct values it can work. I'm in Mexico with my european Omnia 7. Here the 3g network is 850 wcdma only.

Oh whaw thanks for this info! Continue experimenting, maybe you'll finally get it working on 850 I really thought it's hardware-limited after everything I read on this subject...
Dealextreme sells an omnia 7 they claim to be WCDMA, might be worth a shot to get hold of someone that has it.
I think that the correct values are these ones.
Any suggestion on how to input them with the limited options we have?
4 tx_comp_vs_freq_0
0,11,21,27
26,20,9,0
-2,-1,2,7
11,12,8,7
5 tx_comp_vs_freq_1
-2,9,18,21
18,12,4,0
0,5,10,17
21,21,16,15
6 tx_lim_vs_freq
-1,0,2,2
1,0,0,0
0,1,2,4
4,5,7,7
i tride to change those numbers but i cant even put 1 number =( , someone have more luky .. or any other mehod to write the file ?

[Q] How to unlock the default wcdma bands of LG G2-D803

Hello !
I m using LG G2 Model D803.
I try to connect 3G but i could not.
I checked and i am in 3G zone, my APN is correct as per Mobile service provider.
After alot of searching on internet and reading threads and blogs,
i came to know about 3845#*803#, from where i went into hidden menu --> WCDMA only --> Modem Settings --> Network Mode.
And i found that the default band of WCDMA is 850 Mhz, while the service provider here in my region have WCDMA band of 2100 Mhz.
Therefore i want to know how to change the default band of WCDMA from 850 Mhz to 2100 Mhz.
Another thing, which i am not sure about is when i select only WCDMA or HSPA, my mobile signals gone (zero) !!!
Is this the reason of having the default WCDMA at 850 Mhz and service provider is providing 2100 Mhz.
I am really confused.
Please help me !!!
I have attached the screen shot of hidden setting where the WCDMA is 850 Mhz.
still waiting for reply ?
Engineer mode LG zone3
