Gents,
I have been following this forum for about 9 months now; it is a great place to visit if one has an XDA – which I do.
I have one question, I upgraded my Qtek1010 to rom ver: 4.00.21 ENG (from yorch.net), it gives an option to select band 900 (Europe) or 1900 (North America). Does 900 really mean 900 or does represent 900/1800 (Europe), i.e. can my mobile still hand over call to cells on 1800MHz in Saudi or is it limited to the 900MHz band as a result of this upgrade?
Thanks for your help
it should be 900/1800 i think
i seem to recall that EU were at first 900
and asia were 1800
and us were 1900
then dual bandphones came and
you could get
900/1800
and
900/1900
not sure about 1800/1900
so it should work on both 900 and 1800 because the phone is dual
I dont think the upgrade changes the hardware capability, the phone will be 900/1800 or 900/1900, the latter can only be used in UK/europe on the 900 band, the 1800 is not achievable as far as I know.
yes 900,hz means 900 only which means if you have been into the band tab in the phone options your device will now be stuck at 900mhz only meaing you have lost the 1800band.....
and 1900 wont work it wil lcause your phone to freeze/no signal.
what you should do is go into your bootloader and achange it to 900/1800 and do not touch the band tab again becuase if you do you will have to select either 900 or 1900
this is because you are using an american rom.....
use v4.00.05 or v4.00.11 they are english roms with 1800/900
Hi ...
The siginifact point is the device h/w type ... is it PW10A1 or PW10B ?? ... refer to the sticker on the rear side of the XDA.
In case it's A then it supports only 900/1800 and the 900 option will mean 900/1800 and the GSM menu should be adjusted to the right band ... if it's B then it's 900/1900 and you can only use the 900 MHz band of your network coz the H/W doesn't support 1800 MHz
Either the GSM menu or the Band tab has no effect if the H/W doesn't support 1800 MHz
Folks,
Thanks for your help, I guess until I downgrade to 4.00.11 ENG I will use the bootloader to set it to 900/1800 and stay away from the band tab.
Thanks again
you can use any version you want mate but if using an american rom like what i am at the mo (v4.01.00) just dont click on the band tab under the phone options as once you do theres no way to close that screen without select either 900 or 1900
if you do select either band just go into the bootloader and put it on 900/1800 again and dont touch the band tab that way you will still have your 1800 mhz band too
gaz
soft reset will solve the problem :lol:
lol yeah that also but why not try avoiding the band tab once and for all lol that way you wont have to reset the bootloader bit or reset it if you go into the tab lol
gazzaman2k,
You recommanded using 4.00.05 or 4.00.11, I found 4.00.05 in yorch.net, do you know were I can get 4.00.11? I'm assuming it is a better rom!
Thanks for your help
searche the forum for it mate youll find it v4.00.11 uncooked
The only place for 4.00.11 was Jiff kitchen but it's down now
The ROM part of TMO 4.01.00 is not bad at all ... I have it since 2 months now and it's so stable ... didn't try it with SD cards tho
you may consider this upgrade ... again, the ROM part only
Hey guys my ex-Orange is on Virgin AU these days, using it as a tethered modem but I need to lock down to 900 as the Opyus/Virgin 2100mhz 3G spectrum is saturated in Melbourne to hell with all these 2100mhz devices over the last few years, any idea where I can get an application to lock to 900mhz 3G ?
Im using the HK rom a kind XDA'er uloaded for us
Under "Start\Settings\Personal\Phone\Band" (translated from German) you can preselect some frequencies.
thats the problem ! the only option is 2100/900 mhz together, nothing else under 3G
try....
On my rom I have two things to change on that page:
Networktyp: There I'm able to decide GSM or WCDMA
GSM should help you with your problem.
Band: There I can select the frequencies, but as you mention, there are always a UMTS band included.
Good luck and regards from AUSTRIA.

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
Hi,
Maybe a stupid question, but is it possible to connect the Galaxy 3 on a 3G network UMTS 850 MHz ?
I know the phone works with WCDMA/HSPDA 1900 -2100 and GSM 850.
But, I am in Costa Rica, and the 3G network is UMTS 850, so I was wondering maybe an software could help me.
Thx for you help
Regards
AFAIK it's not possible
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.
