Report GSM Frequency Band on WM5 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi All,
is there anyway to determine what GSM frequency band a WM5 phone is currently using?
I would like to know if my WM5 device is using a 900 or 1800 MHz GSM band. The device is quad-band capable and the network I am on is dual-band 900/1800. I can't find any GSM hash codes to report the information and I've had a quick look through extended TAPI but can't see anything.
Building on from that is there anyway to force a WM5 device to only use 900 or 1800? i.e. the mobile would only report itself to the network as being 900 or 1800 capable...but not both.
Thanks, rhd

GSM Band and WM2003

Hi,
Is there a tool similaire ton GSM Band switch working for WM2003?
I need to change the GSM freqeuncy to 1900 since i need to go in Canada with an European XDA 900/1800.
I know i can do it from the bootloader, but each time i change it i get a full reset of my device, not so great
The bandswitch tool will not make your phone a tri-band phone, it will be 100mhz off frequency when on 1900, but heres the link anyway.

HSDPA and the Universal ????

AT&T/Cingular are in the process of rolling out their HSDPA network and a handful of cities are using it; NOW is the Universal capable of this....I asked a similar question about the UMTS 1900 MHz being activated so it could be used in the states; Granted I was given some very good replies but I am still curious. Over the past week I have been talking to some other engineers in my field and have found that a great number of things are possible with the Universal, it has the architecture to support this, SUPPOSEDLY ! Now lets look at UMTS as a whole; then HSDPA ! HSDPA is a software upgrade to existing UMTS software, that's all ! SO is it possible that we can have HSDPA on the Universal with an upgrade to the radio stack, I think YES !...and the bands should also be able to be activate, current UMTS 2100 MHz to 1900 MHz so it becomes dual band...the other is the GSM 850 band ! That apparently can be activated !...HOW is the big questions....Most of the HTC is limited by software; not hardware...its existing hardware has been built with scalability in mind...I just hope that some one can figure out the radio stack updates to facilitate this functionality !
The current model does not support HSDPA. However, I heard that the HSDPA version is due before year-end.

Cruise UMTS Triband

I need enable UMTS 850 in Touch Cruise, it's possible ??
Or need enable GSM 1800 + UMTS 850, the cruise comes only with GSM 1800 + UMTS 850?
Thanks
why wouldn't you use 1800+UMTS 850? what's the difference?
Operator Frequency
The Network used in Brazil are defined.
GSM 1800 + UMTS 850mhz
or
GSM 1800 + UMTS 2100mhz
When I stay in region with 2100mhz my Polaris works fine, but I go to another region with 850mhz, I need change to GSM only to use Phone.

GSM frequency being used

Hi!
Is there any application, code, hack or something that I can use in my Wizard to show which GSM frequency it is using to connect to the network (850, 900, 1800 or 1900 Mhz)?
Thanks!

[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
Automatic/Euro/USA/Japan/AUS/AUS2
