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
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
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 ?
HI Guys,
did a bit of a search, but couldn't come up with too much. I;'m in australia, and have a mate who imported a UMTS 900 DVP. He now wants to change operators to Telstra.
Their "Next G" network is 850. Is there any way to hack it, or even flash with an 850 UMTS version of the ROM?
Cheers
Mike
Nope.

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.
