I HAVE A SX56 PW10B1, SPECIAL EDITION ROM V1.2. ROM 3.17.03 ENG, RADIO VER 6.12. IN THE DEVICE INFORMARTION/IDENTITY MY SX56 APEARS AS MODEL PW10A1. IT IS NOT WORKING HERE IN BRAZIL (THERE'S NO SIGNAL). CAN SOMEONE HELP ME SOULVING THIS PROBLEM. THE TIM NETWORK HERE USES 1800MHZ. IS MY ROM CORRECT? IS MY RADIO VERSION CORRECT? PLEASE HELP ME.
If the sticker says pw10b1 then it is a 900/1900 phone and will not work on 1800.
NOT EVEN IF I CHANGE BIOS/RADIO ETC?
No, it is a hardware limitation of the phone you have, even if the phone says its a PW101A it still remains PW101B. Your phone is not capable of 1800, you can try if you like but I think you will be very disappointed.
thanks anyway!
do you think I can sell this phone easily?
The problem with Brazil is that it uses a 700 frequency and the PDA does not support it. Check with the various providers which frequencies they offer and use them for the phone.
My phone works well in Europe and North America, but would not work in Brazil...
Uma pena! Mas vale investigar se voce quer vender o seu telefone!
The GSM network here is 1.8GHz (Oi and TIM).
My xda2 works very well under the Oi.
In the near future we will have 1.9GHz which Anatel has adopted for 3G phones
Either way Rodrigo has a phone that will not work on 700 or 1800 mhz.
Hi, My problem is that i am on AT&T (Cingular) Network and i need to have 850Mhz in stade of 900. How can i change from 900 to 850.
I have an i-mate SP3i with WM6.1 pre v.1.3.
I bought 2 HTC Shift in USA; I live in Europe (Italy).
I'm trying to configure them to connect via builtin UMTS modem but I always get disconnected.
I already own an european Shift that works well and I checked configurations: they are identical.
I so guess if I have to change the ROM to an European version.
If so, the questions:
- where can I find an italian/uk rom ?
- how can I flash if I have NO internet connection to transfer files on SnapVue ?
Thanks for help.
Is the USA Shift GSM or CDAM ?
If it is GSM any of the posted roms on this site should work (other than the default CDMA one).
Hi nmhusa,
how can I know if it is "GSM or CDAM" ? What does it mean ?
Also, if I download the ROM, as I can't connect to the web, how can I do to flash ROM ?
Is it possible through Vista side ?
Thanks for help.

Ciao attento che i Shift in USA sono CDMA
mentre in EU sono GSM.
Usano bande differenti,
Clio 200 = CDMA
Clio 100 = GSM
Bande:
For GSM/HSDPA networks:
* Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900
* Tri-band HSDPA/UMTS: Europe/US: 850/1900/2100, Japan: 800/2100
* HSDPA: Up to 3.6Mbps for download, 384kbps for upload
* UMTS: Up to 384kbps for download and upload
For CDMA/EVDO networks:
* CDMA2000 1xEVDO/1xRTT.0A (850/1900)
quindi al massimo potrai sfruttare la banda 850/1900 GSM-GPRS
------------------------------------------------------------------
Please pay attention,
there are 2 different Shift versions,
Clio 200 = CDMA
Clio 100 = GSM
Bands:
For GSM/HSDPA networks:
* Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900

* HSDPA: Up to 3.6Mbps for download, 384kbps for upload
* UMTS: Up to 384kbps for download and upload
For CDMA/EVDO networks:
* CDMA2000 1xEVDO/1xRTT.0A (850/1900)

I sent you a sticky message: can you please reply to it (so we can quickly communicate in italian language)?
I will post the solution here when we'll have found it.
Turns out that using USA HTC Shift hardware in Europe does not work for GSM or UMTS connection ....
If someone has other advices is most welcome.

Hi,
I have being looking thru threads but couldn't find any info :$
Is there a way to enable UMTS 850Mhz on Topaz?
btw, UMTS 850Mhz is different from GSM 850Mhz
My topaz only shows as available bands:
Auto
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(900+2100)
GSM(1900+850)
UMTS(2100)
I know that HTC Pure supports UMTS 850Mhz (from HTC tech specs)
I am wondering if I can apply a patch to get it or if it's a hardware limitation
Thanks a lot
Its a hardware limitation. Edge will be the fastest speed you will get. In other words.... no faster than 2g for the topaz.
Umbranded
I have unbranded Topaz with 5 option on Phone - Options - Band:
Auto
GSM (850 900 1800 1900)
GSM ( 900 + 1800) + UMTS ( 900 + 2100)
GSM (1900 + 850) + UMTS (1900 + 850)
UMTS (2100 + 800)
But I'm not test with 3G yet
:O :O
That give me little hope
Can you share the info about the rom and radio versions you have?
Or if you have a HTC rom, from which region the rom is?
Thanks a lot
I test a lot of ROM's and have lastest radio 4.49.25.57
but some Rom that I`ve tryed not show the
GSM (1900 + 850) + UMTS (1900 + 850) option
acytualy I`m try energy rom (28008.5.3.0)
Sorry for my english...
Thanks a lot
I'll give it a try
I'll post my results soon
Thanks a lot
jaime.rq , please report your opinion after trying, as soon....Very interest me, is it hangt from Radio ROM version and OS ROM, or really hangt about devices hardware ?
Thanks on answer forwarding.
Regards
i have been trying to get my 3g to work on my td2 for a while now with the latest radio and shadowline rom. i can select the 850+1900 umts, it will try and force the mode and then it shows an error that it does not work. only reverting back to auto
i have seen some strange things though, where i make a call and the E switches to G and then switches back to E when i hang up, 3G phone calls?
Hi Folks .. the topaz was not released with 850 UMTS and this is a hardware limitation.
Telstra Australia who NextG network is 850 UMTS even released their ROM and it had to fall back to 2100UMTS (The network they share with 3)
So at least in Australia you will get 3G via 2100UMTS but not the NextG Speed.
PS - got to HTC.co.au m and check out the specs for the TOPAZ - then have a look at other phones specs .. you will get the difference.
Topaz Don't Support 850Mhz UMTS, Hardware issue
I installed the rom and radio that ming_a suggested and tested out
unfortunately it didn't work now my topaz shows GSM (1900 + 850) + UMTS (1900 + 850) as an option but I am unable to connect to the 3G network.
It's a hardware issue
Now I have a nice GSM phone with a lot of capabilities that I won't be able to use... :'(

its not that bad, your phone still works, just u lose more time waiting. . . . . .
Any suggestion for a good 850Mhz UMTS phone?
I have the same issue, I want to know if the chipset is the same. If I change the rom to an ATT?
Estamos en las mismas aqui en Costa Rica, yo igual tengo un TD2 version europea.
Nop ATT Rom won't make it to work sorry.
UMTS chip on topaz is different than UMTS chip on HTC Pure
Yo estoy en Costa Rica también...

Hardware limitation?
Hi I'm from Malaysia and I'm using a network which has 3G although I don't know exactly which type. The problem is, it always show E icon on my Topaz, and it never show 3G icon on top. I could not make video calls with this phone, but my old SE K610i could. What could be the problem? With my new topaz, when I try making video calls, it says there was no 3G network...

Moved to general as not rom development,
Have you tried to run connection setup???
You can't connect to 850 Mhz. My call operator also use 3G, 850 Mhz but the spec shows that this phone support 900 Mhz and 2100.
