Hi
I've bought a HTC PURE AT&T, but I noticed on the box specifications it does not have 2100MHZ band. Vodafone provides HSDPA/3G on 2100 band in my country.
How can I activate HSDPA on 2100 BAND?
I have tried Advance Config application and have enabled HSDPA icons but it still only shows GPRS.
Will installing a new custom ROM fix activate HSDPA?
Thanks
Well you bought the wrong device. The Pure only supports UMTS850 and UMTS1900. You should have bought the European Diamond 2 for UMTS2100 support.

But this seems to be a screenshot from a Pure:
I think you onto something there Tom.
What is the menu path to get to that screenshot?
I still have the AT&T rom on, which I would like to uninstall( have already HARDSPL), but I want to install the HTC official 6.5 rom. Could the AT&T rom be hiding the functionality to choose the band?
Ok found in other posts there should be a band tab:
Settings/All Settings/Personal/Phone/Click on the Band Tab it is under the Selet your GSM/UMTS band.
But because i'm using AT&T ROM still I assume its been removed.
What application can I use to change the band? Will RegEdit work?
Radio bands are hardcoded into the processor. no way to change it. sorry

Go to following registry key [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting] and change "ShowUMTSBandPage" to 1 will enable band selection page in phone settings.
there you are .. works on my stock rom .
Thanks that worked.
Now i'm able to select GSM(900+1800) + UMTS(900+2100)
but does this mean device is supposed to work on 2100mhz, because I still am not getting 3G?
nope it will not work, with no matter what software config u throw at it
i got a topaz and i am on the att network, i know the internet is slow but i dont really need it

Hi, sorry to dig up a relatively old thread, but im from Australia and am looking to purchase a HTC Pure. Problem is, my carrier runs on 900/2100Mhz for HSDPA.
Did changing the radio band work? Does the phone now work properly on 3G/HSDPA?
Also, how hard is it to access the registry key? Do i need to hack the phone in any way? Or is there a guide i can follow?
Thanks.

No, there is no way to make what the software says about the settings make the phone do something it cant. it PHYSICALLY cannot support 2100, as others have stated, it will not now nor ever work.

att has it listed as a world phone working in 2100 wcdma areas .. it worked for my aunt in japan .. AU i dunno but it can use 2100 .
From everything I have read and researched there is no way to change it. I believe the option of the 2100 is a carryover from the HTC Tilt 2 for AT&T. Tilt 2 has 2100 capability.

I am wondering if my M3100 is on a UTMS Network. It is displaying the 3g and the little 3g. I am pretty sure this means the UTMS network but I wanted to make sure. My Downloads do seem to be BLAZING here in Nashville.
It should have a U in a small white box in the top bar if it is on the UMTS network.
Hmmm...what website does everyone use for speed tests on their phones?

I am getting speeds of 550, with only a single bar. I really hate when people open their mouth and don't know what they are talking about.
In my defence in Australia when you are on the Telstra UMTS network (Next G) you do get a U. I know this because I am getting one and have used one extensively in the shop.

Correct but all providers customize their ROMs
I know that they customize their ROMs. All I was doing was trying to do was help a fellow member and if you want to flame me go right ahead.
remind me not to try to help slimsaturn with any issues he has. Although it does seem that he has issues that cannot be resolved on this board.
Try anger management.
In Europe all unbranded TyTN's ie Hermes 200 have a U when on a UMTS or Super UMTS network irrespective of the telecom service provider & I would think this would be the same worldwide unless you have a network branded device who have installed their own rom.
Guest69 and scip01 I completely agree with your comments and I to will not be helping slimsaturn again and I remember when I was reading reviews of the Tytn they did have a U and that is why I said it. Thanks for saying something it took some guts.
Just look here and you will see the U http://www.clubimate.com/t-DETAILS_JASJAM.aspx
My Tmobile Vario2 has the "3g" logo, but I'm sure it uses the UMTS and even the HSPDA.. I did came upon a registry modification done after a hard-reset where Tmobile changed the "U" into "3g".
If you do a hard reset ('clear storage') on the SPV M3100, then do a soft reset just after you press the screen to reset (you have 3 seconds!), this will stop all the Orange extras from installing and hence display 'U' instead of '3g'.

I'd like the 3G rather than the U; and I believe AKU3.0 fixes that by default now.
Change "U" to "3G"
Hi Guys, I am with Telstra Australia and after playing with a couple of phone skins I found that the "U" had changed to a "3G".
I much prefer the "3G" and have looked through everything trying to figure out where the images are kept.
Is it an image file or a registry setting.
This is no big deal but would certainly like to change it if I could.
(If you install a T-Mobile skin it appeaers but disappears when you uninstall it and go back to the default phone skin)
Thanks in advance.
Icon can be changed, but it's complicated:

Change "U" to "3G"
OK vijay555 spill the beans...... how complicated!
Any tips!!!!
Well, very complicated for me (involving quite low level hacking) with my limited knowledge, but achieveable.
However, I'll leave the question open a la Fermat because I'm sure someone's got a better solution.

Hello is it possible to make a CDMA Telus Canada HTC Snap, work on Rogers Canada GSM networks, i see there is a Sim Card Spot for international Roaming but i was wondering is there a way too unlock it so i can use it on Rogers here in Toronto ?
Good news for Canadian readers – not only is the HTC Touch Pro 2 and HTC Snap going to show up soon Telus, but the CDMA EVDO devices will also be so-called World Edition devices ie. they will contain GSM circuitry allowing the devices to be used outside the confines of North America on GSM networks in Europe, East and Africa.
It appears such World Edition devices are becoming increasingly common on CDMA networks as the technology faces inevitable winding down in the near future.

The HTC snaps they have don't have a trackball (which I would prefer).
here is what they have.
Just an update. Not sure if anybody is still wondering about this... but i have successfully unlocked a Telus HTC Snap and am currently using full data / exchange etc.
just have to update the gprs settings. also it thinks it is roaming.
I wanna get a custom 6.5 ROM on it, but I have yet to verify if anybody has been able to do it successfully. Anybody know? Maybe i will start a new thread...

How did you get it working, because I have a htc tytn II that I can't get working on the data with Telus im using wm6.5, do I have to go back to 6.1.
Thanks in advance and God Bless.
Is it possible to take out the d-pad from a snap and replace the trackball?
Hello, after trying different application to switch between 2G and 3G, I have not found one that can do that with a click or automatically and running on my HD Mini.
What I want :
When I activate the data connection, the band will automatically set in "AUTO" mode,
When I disable the data connections, the band is automatically set in "GSM" mode.
Does anyone know how to do (for the setup connections or by an software) ?
Thank you all!

Good evening!
Thank you, I downloaded this software and I installed it on my HD Mini. The functions of manual switch between 2G and 3G bands are well, but the automatic mode does not work well (after having switched to 3G, the band never comes back on 2G automatically ...)
But thank you for your help ....
In fact, I would like an application that allows me to simply switch between the GSM (2G only) and AUTO (2G/3G)....
I just need the "Band Switcher application" from WMLongLife !

I realize it is not a free app and it probably does way more than you need, but I use PhoneAlarm to do automatic band switching. It certainly has the capability to switch between GSM and Automatic modes, based on all sorts of factors, like time, calendar status, or even location. One of the things I use it for is to switch between GSM and 3G, based on my GPS location, since my office has lousy 3G coverage.

But yes, phone alarm is too full, I would have liked to see something more simple, just an application like "Toggle BlueTooth" that allows the user to switch between GSM and 3G AUTO mode with one click!

Under cellular networks its a setting called enhanced 4g lte. That is what enables volte. *#*#4636#*#* will take you to a menu to check bands and other stuff.

WiFi calling and VoLTE both work out of the box on T-Mobile. You can download the LTE Discovery app which will tell you what band you're connected to

Its an issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=64227798
I am on fi now, but the first day I had the phone I put my tmo prepaid sim in. Noticed in the APN, the setting APN type was : default,supl
On my previous t-mobile branded phones the setting has been:
APN type: default,mms,supl
Not sure if it matters or resoved any problems, but I edited mine to match.

If I am on LTE with VoLTE, I stay on LTE. If I am on HSPA+, I drop to Edge while on a call.
Not all LTE towers support VoLTE yet. Find someone else on T-Mobile with a VoLTE and see if you get HD calling. You can really hear the difference. It sounds like a Skype to Skype call.
My APN settings are the defaults for T-Mobile. You can reset them to defaults when in the APN menu from the three dots drop down.
The first one if for data and Assisted GPS (default,supl).
The second one is Wi-Fi calling (ims). Not sure if it is used by VoLTE.
The third is for MMS (mms).

Easy question: Have you tried to see if your city supports 4g because in my case I have an iPhone 12 and a Realme gt neo 2 and having a telephone contract with 5g, I still can't activate it today because my city does not support the type of connection

As you can see:
5G is not available everywhere, but we should be able to choose: 5G, 4G, 3G...
If your carrier is like mine, ATT, the phone is not on their supported list and is therefore not provisioned when it connects to the network
In reality the 5G option is not available even in my case, the fact is that 5G is automatically enabled as you enter a city that supports it, remember to have a device compatible with 5G

Hello, I used this trick to activate 5G: Download the ShortCut Maker application from PlayStore, Go to configuration/ configuration activities/ and search for network, open and click on "try this shortcut" this opens a menu where it says type of preferred network we enter and we choose a network that contains NR which is 5G.
Excuse my English

I do. it is a thing. Ive also used QPST to make the appropriate edits. Essentially done everything I can except for forcing ATT to actually provision 5g to my phone even tho they've said they enabled the flag.
