AT&T latest ROM and radio

Anybody can tell me where I can get thouse becouse I'm swithcing from T-Mobile and woudl like to have AT&T OS and radio stack. My phone is unlocked already.
Thanks,
G

before you switch to AT&T be advised that your phone does NOT support 850mhz bandwith which AT&T is migrating their network to. You will have very poor coverage with this device on their network and incrimentally worse covergae. Just an FYI I think you'll find yourself having a very bad experience with a 1900mhz device on their network. On the other hand you will have a rummoured better experience with an 850mhz device. Anyway both the ROM and Radio package is on the siemens website here http://www.siemens-mobile.com/MySie...C%2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda%2F,00.html

Frequncies on phones

Hi all,
Sorry if this sounds daft, but I have just been given the tech assult by a Telstra Australia guy.
Telstra uses a "Next G" network that used 850MHz and will state that ONLY phones bought through them will be able to fully utilise the network. Is this a firmware thing (IE, can I flash the radio rom) or a hardware thing? If I bought a device from anywhere else would I be able to utilise the speed of the "Next G" network? If not, what features would we be missing?
Cheers
Al

Frequncies is a hardware thing
some phones support that band as it's also used in usa you can check the wiki for the phone in question

if you have a quad band phone with 850 MHz, it should work ontelestra, the only features that might not work on it are features that have been cooked into the rom. Phone and generic features will work as the are standard to all hardware types.
If your phone is 3g capable, yes you will be able to use their updated 3g as the attachment to allow their network to work on your phone will be on a telstra sim card.

can our wizards get 3G??

I always wanted to know if our wizards are capable of getting 3G even with some hack, like maybe changing the radio or anything like that...
is this even possible? or are new devices the only way of getting 3G for t-mobile?
and one more thing, does anyone know when 3G would ever be available for tmobile?

3G requires new radio HARDWARE. Wizards will never be able to get 3G reception, sorry. They are great phones (yes sometimes I still miss mine).

Radio update to 3G for the wing

Is there any update out there to allow the Wing to access 3G? When I tether my wing to my laptop, sometimes I get 3g speeds and others I don't. Is there an update that will allow us consistant access?

Tmobile 3g.... No, completly different band, no hardware support.
ATT 3g..... Perhaps you would need to unlock it and try an ATT sim

you can't get 3g at all on the wing. 3g is based on a hardware radio, and the hardware radio that we have only supports edge and gprs. If you want 3g, you will have to get a different phone, one with an actual 3g radio. By 3g speeds on your laptop, that just means "unusually fast"

I was hoping there was a software or firmware update that would allow us access to the 3G band. I was sure if it was out there you guys would know.

[Q] ARIA wont pickup 3G DATA connection

My Aria doesn' t pickup 3G connection i am using at&t rom until I can root it does anyone know if the problem is because os AT&T software I am connected to Portuguese carrier TMN.

The AT&T version of the Aria does not support the 3G frequencies that TMN uses. This basically means there is no way to get 3G data speeds with this phone on that carrier. However you should be able to get 2G data and voice calls without a problem.
Unfortunately installing a new ROM will not fix this issue. There's nothing you can do about it.

And is there any chance of changing the radio firmware so it would support it?

Nope, sorry. It's a difference in the hardware, not the software.
There are two "versions" of the HTC Aria/Liberty/Gratia. The A6366 which is the AT&T Aria and supports 850/1900MHz 3G bands, and the A6380 which is called Aria or Gratia depending on the region and supports 900/2100MHz 3G bands. It should say underneath the battery which version you have if you want to be certain. You would need the A6380 to get 3G to work in your area.
