I understand that 3G on the magic(euro version) works through 900mHz and 2100mHz while the mytouch uses Tmo's 1700 and 2100mHz frequencies. From what i heard, even though the system uses two different frequencies for uplink and downlink, you can use 3G on Tmo using just the 2100mHz. So is there anyway I can get the magic to work on Tmo's 3G network?
this is a very n00bish question but is the HSUPA/HSDPA technology based in the phone or is it in the actual network...
the specs show this for the mytouch GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 UMTS: Yes Bands: 1 (2100) & 4 (AWS 1700/2100) does that mean it can just use the 2100mHz if it does then the magic should be able to work on Tmo too right?
anyone got anything?
its not gonna work too well because the magics downlink is the 2100 while the mt3g downlink is 1700 so unless u uploading consistently you wont have 3g on the downlink
Magic is way better with the 288MB RAM over mytouch's 192MB.

Hey,
I like the Desire Z, I use rogers is this going to be possible?
I currently run t-mobile touch pro2, but in my city they are just upgrading to 3g unlike bigger cities liek Toronto already have it.

According to this article...
Bell is going to launch the Desire Z it will have the bands you need for 100% 3G compatibility, since I'm on ATT here in the US, I might have to pick one up too.
Thanks,
that's definetely what I was after... i get confused sometimes...
cheers
Someone is giving his old HTC Desire Z Europe Version with UMTS 900/2100.
Does anyone notice if it can work at T-Mobile USA 4G network at UMT 1700/2100?
or it just can do up to 3G.
Is it better to replace with G2 instead of DZ to get 4G?
options are G2 and DZ
It will only work on 2G
I am still curious about it since the both having UMTS 2100MHz Band I.
C.Flat, did you get a HTC DZ with UMTS 850/1900? In this case, I am sure that HTC America Version ( not G2) will stick on 2G.
The 1700/2100 MHz band used by T-Mobile for 3G/4G is Band IV, not Band I. For Band IV, 1700 is for upload, and 2100 is for download, not like the Band I used in Europe, which uses 2100 MHz for up/down.

I've seen a lot of isues with phones on t-mobile locked on EDGE speed...
I was wondering if my phone, a galaxy s international (french) was compatible with 3G or maybe H+.
I can't seems to find any good informations...
Wikipedia : Dual band CDMA2000/EV-DO Rev. A 800 and 1,900 MHz;
WiMAX 2.5 to 2.7 GHz;
802.16e 2.5G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE): 850, 900, 1,700, 1,800, 1,900, and 2,100 MHz;
3G (HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s, HSUPA 5.76 Mbit/s): 900, 1,900, and 2,100 MHz;
but i think it include every version
Unfortunately your phone won't get 3G but you can get AT&T 3G. It's weird you have 1700 MHz 2G. I wonder if that could be unlocked for 3G? That's the only 3G frequency you are missing.
If you are asking about T-Mobile in the U.S. then perhaps...T-Mo/USA is re-farming some 1900 MHz for 3G operation in some select cities/locales. And your phone does support 900/1900/2100 MHz 3G, so in theory, and if in certain locations, then yes, you may be able T-Mo 3G via 1900 MHz.
From the press release:
As part of the company’s network modernization effort, T-Mobile also plans to launch 4G HSPA+ service in the 1900 MHz band in a large number of markets by the end of the year.

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/07/tmob...omers-off-2g-network-with-upgrade-incentives/
I've heard about Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, Boston, Washington DC and there have been individual reports from many other locales.
AT&T does also have 3G on 1900 MHz in some locales: http://www.cellularmaps.com/att_850_1900.shtml
But I am not sure if they have ceded some of these to T-Mo as part of the failed merger, and/or transitioned those to 850 MHz?
Both AT&T and T-Mo do offer pre-paid SIMs and services - and there are some MVNOs like StraightTalk reselling AT&T and T-Mo network access.
Hey!
Is it possible to change or unlock the UMTS 900MHz frequency in Samsung Rugby Smart?
Frequencies and Data Type
GSM: Quadband:850/900/1800/1900MHz
UMTS: Triband: 850/1900/2100MHz HSPA+ 14.4 MBps
I live in Finland and needed frequency is 900MHz / 2100MHz in UMTS
GSM should work fine?
So it should be fine for calling, but internet is a bit slow maybe?
I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 International (GSM card)
I'm now getting data speeds of 0.13 Bps. That can't continue.
I'm When I spoke to T-Mobile support they told me that the 1900 Mhz spectrum (LTE) is being dropped for the new 600 Mhz spectrum. This is for 5G. They advised me to get a phone that has 600 Mhz (phones not available yet) and 2100 Mhz spectrum. In the data below you can see that my phone can use 1900 Mhz for 2G and 3G. This is a mess. Apparently the 1900 Mhz my phone used to use (and provided quite good data speeds) has already been dropped, but the 600 Mhz I will need is not yet in phones currently being sold. What do you recommend I do?
The changes are related to T-Mobile aquiring new frequencies so they can improve service and data speeds. This implies that T-Mobile dropped a frequency which my phone used (1900 Mhz?), and which used to give me quite good data speeds.
So my slow data speeds are the result of changes made by T-Mobile. I brought my own phone, and did not purchase from T-Mobile, so they didn't offer me a new phone cheap.
My research shows me that my area has 700 Mhz LTE. But apparently my phone can't use that.

Get a device that uses US LTE bands. Your only other option is to risk bricking your S4 to add US bands to its radio chip.
