Can I use Dual Mode GSM/WCDMA? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I got a JASJAR. I'm useing a GSM SIM-Card. Now, I want to add a new CDMA account to use 3G-service. Is it possible?
And How to do it?

I dont think its possible... Since JasJar doesnt support dual sim u can use both the sim at the same time... If u want to use both the services like GSM or WCDMA then u will have to have those services in the same SIM itself.

i believed that 3g in all of europe was UTMS based and not
WCDMA based

WCDMA and UMTS are the same thing. WCDMA is the radio-technology used, UMTS is more the general name for the whole system.

no
CDMA orginates from the old analog system which were in europe called NMT

3g problems

Hi. Newbie in this forum. Bought an htc tytn from u.s. but am from Phil using smart carrier with gsm band at 1800. after going thru sev topics, properly identified device as Herm200 rom:1.18.255.3 07/22/06 extrom:1.18.255.106 radio1.03.03.10 protocol32.34.7010.01H.
All phone features working perfectly except for 3G. Smart carrier people cannot help. What could be wrong. Vendor says 3g works on 2100 band. Confusing statement. What can be done? Connects to umts but when video call is pressed will not connect.
Which carrier are you on again? Smart Carrier? .. From what I know no carriers in the US support video calling .. Also, Cingular is the only GSM carrier in the US with 3G which runs on the 1900Mhz band ..
also .. what does your phone display while connected "G" or "U" ... what are your phone band settings .. can you also goto dslreports.com/mspeed and see what speeds are you getting ..
According to GSM world SMART (a Philippine operator) uses UMTS 2100, which your TyTN does definitely support.
Have you checked if your SIM card is 3G-enabled? Most 3G networks require special USIMs for 3G usage.
I just learned, that Cingular uses UMTS 850 and 1900 to be exact. According to the American HTC website the Cingular 8525 supports "Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA high speed wireless data network support (2100MHz and 850/1900 MHz), Quad-band GSMĀ®/GPRS/EDGE worldphone".
Does anyone know if there is a special hardware version, that supports UMTS850 & 1900 or will my European TyTN work on those networks, too?
TyTN is tri-band UMTS .. 850/1900/2100 .. so it should work on these networks without any issues ...
And my bad .. didnt realize that you are trying to use the TyTN in Phillipines ..
You should also check, if the called party has a 3G signal, while you call him. Further make sure video calls are activated by your network operator.
3g problems in the philippines
Everything you guys mentioned in order(am in a 3g area calling a 3g enabled party with a 3g sim card). Even the tech staff behind Smart Communications cannot make it work. Displays U and u. But video call cannot push thru even if pic on front camera shows. There is 1 thin line( or command?) stopping it from connecting. My last option is to borrow my friend's unit and see if her unit's 3g works here then it's my device that's a problem. Thnks for the input. Keep it coming.

Hi. I don't know how they did it but Smart Communications did it! Apparently and ironically their 3g sim card is not compatible with the htc tytn but their regular sim is. Thanks all.
are u using 3G now in Phil ?
Is there a Globe perpaid 3G simcard ?
3g problems no more
Hi everyone. After my first thread i have finally got everything on my tytn working: 3g, mms, internet, phone. The problem was on the settings. Smart and Globe, the primary carriers in the Philippines can both work on the phone if the settings are right.
sectorlord,
yes there is 3g and hsdpa along with gsm and gprs and wap in the philippines. and yes you can buy globe prepaid 3g sim card.
glad to hear you've got your problems solved jjc!

[Q] frequency on my GSM carier

hi guys
im from Israel..
i just got a new HTC aria device
i unlocked it with a code for any GSM carier for supported Israeli's network
now the phone is no longer under AT&T, it for Cellcom (an Israeli company)
the device support this:
HSPA/UMTS/(1900/850MHZ) GSM/GPRS/EDGE (Quad band 850/900/1800/1900MHZ)
Cellcom SIM CARD support this:
HSPA/UMTS/(2100MHZ) GSM/GPRS/EDGE (Quad band 850/900/1800/1900MHZ)
when i entered a regular sim which is for GSM only the device worked just fine..
but when i entered the USIM (the HSPDA's supported sim card - that suppose to support the GSM frequency as well) the device couldnt recognize any carier..
what should i need to do?
is there a way for changing the sim card frequency settings from the Android's settings?
do i have any possibilty for using HSPDA supported sim card without supported frequency in Israel?? because the device soesnt know the 2100MHZ HSPDA freq.
cause i thougt that device will handle this issue (works for calls) and will block me only when ill want to web through the Cellcom mobile in HSPDA
but still will let me to web through GSM witch is more slowly..
HeLPPPPP
i think you're out of luck unless you get the proper sim card for the proper frequencies.
Since Cellcom uses UMTS 2100, you would have been better off to buy an Asian or European phone. AT&T doesn't use the 2100 band and decided not to include it in this phone. You won't get 3G on that carrier.
According to Wikipedia, another provider - Pelephone - has some of its 3G service on the 850 band which would be supported by the Aria. But in any area that is served only by the 2100 band, your Aria will not get 3G.
No idea why one particular SIM isn't letting you onto their GSM network.

Did I buy a bad phone / wrong phone?

Just bought a galaxy note n7000.. when I poped in my sim card it does now work..
I am with mobilicity they use AWS, with bands 1700/2100
http://mobilicity.ca/

beat away... now it will work but on edge... there is a thread on trying to create a radio to work for tmobile which is the same as yours... now they have got the i717 version(usa att) to work but not the 7000... give these guys time they always come through... but until then its edge only....
ps you may find someone with a i717 wanting a 7000 and might trade....
Frequency used by Galaxy note :
Also known as Samsung GT-N7000, Samsung I9220
General 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 (region specific)
Since your service provider uses 1700 and 2100, then it should work.. just activate your 3G network in your wireless settings.
Good luck

ok...the 1700/2100 is correct but like tmous they use the 1700 as the data so activating 3g is going to do nothing.... there is a 1700 freq in the chip, but it is locked hence the need for the custom radio.... btw that thread is in the general forum... as for making phone calls, well if it is unlocked it should make them just fine...
is it telling you something when you power it on? does it have signal strength?.... need a bit more info....

Normal GSM Functions (Calls/SMS) should work on 100%
There is something wrong with either the phone or your SIM Card/Provider
Call Customer support and explain your problem and be sure to tell them that the problem is Calls/SMS and you are aware that 3G will/may not work!
Maybe they are blocking the international Notes for some reason?!
It never hurts to ask them!
You will NOT get 3G to work if your carrier uses 1700mhz for AWS. Tmobile and as far as I know Wind use 1700 AND 2100 for 3G data. Having just one band (in this case, 2100, will not cut it). In any event, you should still get 2G data and be able to call/text.

how can test if this is problem with the phone?
I tried another sim card form rogers wireless and it works right away.
my sim card has "no service" then after 5 mins the icon changes for a stop sign with a live through it to actual bars.. the no service changes into emergency calls only.

OK. Then your phone is OK. Call Mobilicity customer support and explain everything! Tell them that the phone works with Rogers SIM and not with yours!

S5360L band changing ?

hi
i have here few PCS of S5630L
its same phone but bands are not the same.
HSDPA 7.2 850/1900MHz
anyone think it can be changed via software ? or its a hardware issue ?
if so can i change bands filters ?
thx
anything ? anyone ?
it can never be done,
it is the internal radio which transmits and receives frequencies,
which is a hardware thing,
if i got you correctly S530L is CDMA and you want a GSM band

This model is not cdma, irs gsm model fits to some countries like brazil and argentina.
so this phone works only on quad gsm 2g network with no, but on 3g networks it works only on 850/1900 and i need 2100
On older nokia phones we changed anttena duplexer and bands filters and it did the job.
On newer phone like i9000 we can change bands via programing menu.
I just wonder if it can be done even with hardware changes.
Thanks
Anyone ??
I tried *#*#197328640#*#* but not working

Problem with 1900 Mhz Band (GSM and UMTS)

I recently own a X829 variant with 16S stock rom. Use dual sim feature and this is all I can get in data usage (voice works ok do):
SIM 1: 4G 2600 mhz OK, 3G and 2G 1900 mhz NOT WORKING
SIM 2: 4G 2600 mhz OK, 3G and 2G 850 mhz OK
The phone detects 1900 mhz band (either 2G or 3G) and I can use it for calls, but it cannot use it for data. I want to use the data plan of SIM 1 because I have much better data plan.
If 1900 mhz were not supported (Information says it is), even voice call wouldnt work, right?
Maybe I will need a unlock band feature provided by this user?: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/guide-unlock-bands-leeco-le-max-2-fix-t3439154
Best regards to all
Your using T-Mobile in the states? ( location and available bands might be a factor)
Sounds like maybe just a settings issue. If you remove one sim, can you connect to these bands?
I'm using at&t in the states and specifically use one sim for data, and second for calls/texts, but can only use ONE at 4g at a time.... Can't have both at LTE connection.
I'm afraid not, I'm from Chile so I'm using local providers:
SIM1: Entel
SIM2: Movistar
I already test switching SIMs trays, I know I cannot use tray 2 for 4G/data. but it's funny I can only use 4G in both SIMCards in tray 1, but not 3G/2G in Entel carrier.
So If I use SIM1 in tray 1 only I get 4G, wich is good, but as I move far from city and 4G is not available, it will switch to 3G/2G (it appears in phone tray) and data will not be available anymore.
Install official Chinese s23. From the official leeco page. That will upgrade radio firmware and fingerprint firmware, from there, then you can flash any other custom ROM or stay with s23. Which is stable and good. Also full date wipe is recommended.

I'm not familiar with those carriers, but google says all those bands should be supported. My only other suggestion would be to upgrade the firmware like already suggested.
16s on x829 was made for the states, not sure if that's what's holding you back,
Remember to backup, save your data and modem files.
Ok, so I tried Indian 16s, and a (slighthy) moddified chinese 23s without success, same issue: can call in 2G/3G 1900 Mhz Band but data doesnt work in that band.
