Hi I would like you to help me with my network settings.
I'm from Mexico city and I bought a HTC Blackstone few days ago. First of all let me tell you that in my country we don't have a provider for HTC phones, we just have some of them but the old ones. So I bough my Blackstone from a US online-store.
I did Hard SPL on my phone and installed Laurentius26 "L26_THDV5" ROM. After that I took some time to configure the network settings from my country and everything was ok. But my problem is that my Blackstone is not working on 3G mode, it's using EDGE. Actually I don't know how far the differences are, but I can feel that it's slower with Youtube or Internet than my previous phone (a Nokia N75). I don't know if I changed something with the new ROM or if there is some way to fix it and work on 3G mode because actually I'm paying that service with my provider (Telcel).
Please, could someone help me with it?
The Nokia N75 supports the 850MHz / 1900MHz 3G bands.
The HTC Touch HD supports the 900MHz / 2100MHz 3G bands.
Depending on your provider you will not have 3G at all.
are you sure ?
I've started a thread about this:

in the menu: phone - options - BAND
which options are present?
Guys, anybody knows if really have any "real" difference between the E900 and E900h versions?
I am asking this because I own an Orange-FR E900 and as widely said, this version doesn't support UMTS 850. Even in the box of my handset only shows "WCDMA 900/1900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900".
But I never had any problem using it anywhere I went in the American continent, even before I flashed it with the Open-EU ROM.
With the original French ROM, I had used it both in 3G and 3G+ successfully here in Brazil with Vivo, Oi and Claro SIMs (all UMTS 850/2100), in Argentina with a Personal Telecom SIM (UMTS 850/1900) and Canada on Fido (UMTS 850/1900).
Now with Open-EU ROM and the Tim SIM (UMTS 850/2100), I performed a simple test on Band Settings. With "WCDMA 850" set, I got the "3G" sign at the Status Bar, and with "WCDMA 2100" I got the "H" sign that replaced the "3G+" from the previous ROM.
So I'm guessing what is the deal here? Luckily I got one "factory all-unlocked bands" or all those "Euro-Spec / American-Spec" thing is just bs they told to us to avoid "bootlegging"?
Where did you get the OPEN EU ROM?? I can't find it.
As you know I am having problems connecting to UMTS 850 here with Claro Peru and I think is due to a software (ROM) lock or stuff like that and I wanna re-flash my phone E900 using the OPEN EU ROM.
Please, give me the URL to get the ROM. Did you get some issues with the new ROM? maybe camera or marketplace access?
Thank you

I got the ROM and all instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
I recommend you to read the entire thread before flashing your device. Information is never too much
PS.: Don't try to flash your E900 with an E900h ROM (and vice versa). If you do that, you gonna brick your device.
There are actually very minor differences, between the two. I have yet to compare actual parts models, but here are the sevice manuals, with all individual components teared down and outlined. Take a look, perhaps it would clarify something. The manuals are very long, of course.

Hi, I just got an E900 (It was a gift) I can't get a 3G signal in Telcel's (México) Network which uses a 850/1900 band. The phone is OPEN, is not locked in any form and came from factory with Mango.
I have tried all the possible band configurations through the MFG app but can't get a "3G" signal. Here is the question, is there any possibility to get the phone to work with Telcel's 3G Network or Am I wasting my time?
Best Regards

You are wasting your time, you need an e900h to get UMTS or 3G on the 850mhz band.
I've got both an used unlocked Vodafone E900 (carrier still says Vodafone - how do I get it to open) and a brand new Telus E900h with me and can't decide which one to keep.
E900H will have to be unlocked and it's asking me for PIN right now. But it has 850 signal and since I'm using Tmobile US with it I should be able to get 3G. With the E900 I'll only be able to get Edge on T-mobile unless if I switch to ATT but they're pay as you go plan isn't as nice.
But it seems that you aren't able to get internet sharing to work on E900h since Telus hasn't released it. That option is available to E900.
Are there any other differences? Which one should I keep? I've a tendency to lose phones but I don't think I'll want to keep both around.

T-Mobile USA doesn't use the same bands/frequencies as other GSM providers. To use your phone in the USA, you should use AT&T.

It won't work on 3G, but still should on the 2G GSM network.
Milestone 2 data in USA
I got my A953 (UK) to send texts and make telephone calls on T-Mobile USA, but had a lot of difficulty getting any data to work - not even 2G.
I thought the Milestone 2 supports 3G on 900 and 2100 MHz, and T-Mobile USA uses 1700 and 2100 MHz - doesn't this mean the Milestone 2 should be able to access 3G data on the 2100 MHz frequency?
Hello!
Congrats for this community!
I have a problem and I cannot find the answer on internet:
Can I change the 3g frequency of my LG P705 optimus l7??? How can I test it?
I bought it in China and I'm from Argentina, here the frequencies are 850/1900 MHz, different from the frequencies used in China. I coudn't found information about it! It is factory-unlocked and it has Android 4.0.3 by default.
My cell phone is not usefull without 3g, I can connect to 2g or to Wifi networks but I need faster communications all the time.
Thanks and many thanks!

same as me but need it for Mexico (telcel) trying to get some different firmware but i'm still not so sure to do this with out knowing all

If that model S5 100% supports 4G, then the problem is with your carrier/provider or coverage
