Hi,
I am planning to buy Touch 3G or Touch Diamond. (Still confused)
However, can anyone tell me which one of these will work with US carriers 3G services.
The specs mention
General 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 2100 / 900
So, general latching on to US GSM networks and using Edge is not a problem, I know. However, not sure about 3G.
Whatever reading I have done shows that the 3G network is as per European standard. So I am sure I should be able to use 3G in Europe/Asia.
Can some gurus help me with this.
Appreciate your help
Anup
I have ATT, and no, the Touch 3G does not work because it is missing the 3G band used by ATT. I only get Edge in places where my old P3600 would get 3G.

Does this mean that this device will work at least for voice/SMS in Japan (which only has WCDMA 2100, no conventional GSM at all)?
i jus't installed a new firmware from tabi13 in my elf, and everything is working fine, but the network detection seems to do an automatic detection of the settings from my provider (Orange Dominicana) and put some t-mobile settings
i just wanted to publish this information for any ROM builder if it can be changed in future releases, or for reference for other people.
Settings for Dominican Republic:
1
Orange Dominicana
Network Name: ORANGE
Network Number: 37001
APN: orangenet.com.do
no autenticantion or any other setting
1900 Mhz GSM/ 900 Mhz 3g
2
Claro/Codetel
Network Name: CLARO
Network Number: 37002
APN: internet.ideasclaro.com.do
No other Setting
850/1900Mhz GSM /850 Mhz 3g
3
Viva
Network Name: VIVA
Network Number: 37004 (Thanks Ajape for the confirmation)
APN: edge.viva.com.do
not sure about auth. I Believe is user and password 'viva' without the '
1900Mhz GSM
if anybody knows anything else, please post.if possible, for ROM cookers, update the auto detection settings in future releases (i don't know if it is possible or how)
Operator settings
There's one elfin ROM with the correct automatic settings for Dominican Republic it's and Opal based rom, not sure it's available for elf, I did notice the same problem with over 20 different roms for different models from wizards to tilts. can not recall the chef, on that particular ROM but it's there.
That's funny
The Onyx ROM which can be used in the ELF, mostly ELFin, but has run well in your model has correct Network Settings. I have personally flashed them for Orange as well, and it works properly. It is a ROM based from the updated ELFin ROM found in HTCs site.

Gracias for the information saved me allot of time.
Creo que viva es 37004.
Confirmed, 37004 is for Viva, although is registered still as CENTENNIAL DOMINICANA. 37003 is for TRICOM DOMINICANA.
Does anyone have the EDGE configuration for either ORANGE Dominicana or VIVA?
I´m using an HTC Kaiser, and would really appreciate them.
Edge
Just read the first line of this thread, it´s all listed there!
Thanks. My G1 didn't want to pick up my settings and this worked like a charm. I came to DR for vacation and was struggling trying to get my inet working.
The low down on Dominican Telecom's

Hi
I have a milestone a853 and i'd like to know if there a way to make it work on 3G
thats because i it only connect to edge thats in Santo Domingo
Orange dominicana is 900/1900 Mhz on 3G, don't confuse GSM with 3G frequencies, it's not the same thing.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I cant get any of my phones to work on 3g yet over the orange dominicana network! I have mytouch 4g and an atrix 4g... None if them get the 3g connection (mt4g is 900 3g and atrix 850) . Any ideas?
I will second (or third) the requests made above....
I was also in D.R. recently with my Tmobile Vibrant and couldn't get EDGE data connectivity with Claro to save my life. I went f***ng nuts trying everything. I had researched my phone capabilities ahead of time and found the following:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
HSDPA 1700 / 1900 / 2100
From the posts listed above, Claro has 2G @ 1900Mhz. When I checked Wikipedia prior to my trip, it shows:
Claro Dominicana
CDMA 1xEV-DO in 800/1900 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE in 850/1900 MHz
UMTS/HSDPA service in the 850 MHz band
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Is there some kind of trick to get 2G data working? I am at a loss...I should have had 2G data (I knew I wasn't getting 3G), instead I was all sorts of lost without Google Maps. For the record...paper maps suck!
Someone PLEASE shed light on this situation. I am going back soon, I need data on my phone!
T-mo's 3G bands are not compatible with Orange 3G. The Atrix is not compatible either, however, theoretically you can use the Atrix with Claro's 3G since Att and Claro's 3G bands are compatible. I haven't tried this yet.

Did you make sure you have the correct APNs?

Dude I'm going nuts I tried the orange sim card for blackberries and no luck while my cuzz got free edge on orange prepaid!!! Wtf!
Hello,
i've got a Germany Topaz with an original O2 Rom (6.5), and am currently in New York. I've inserted an ATT sim card, and the topaz came up asking whether it should install the ATT settings, which it then did.
I'm able to get a connection fine, but only with Edge, not 3G. The whole greater Manhattan area is 3G covered, so i should be getting a faster connection.
I'm wondering whether there is something i need to do to activate 3G? Anyone have any ideas why i can't get a 3G connection?
thanks.
Doesn't O2 Germany use 900MHz UMTS, not 850MHz & 1900MHz as AT&T? So your Topaz is likely not an 850MHz (& 1900 MHz) UMTS model - will be able to use only GSM.
Ok, thanks for that. But i thought the Topaz has the same frequencies as the Germany Kaiser, and i used that 2 years ago in California, with ATT, and had 3G almost always. Strange.
You are aware that there is a variety of models/frequencies specific to local markets?
What is the model shown under the battery: eg TOPA110 T5362?
Then do a search for that model and compare with the (UMTS/HSDPA, not GSM) specs for AT&T Pure:

hi guys
im from Israel..
i just got a new HTC aria device
i unlocked it with a code for any GSM carier for supported Israeli's network
now the phone is no longer under AT&T, it for Cellcom (an Israeli company)
the device support this:
HSPA/UMTS/(1900/850MHZ) GSM/GPRS/EDGE (Quad band 850/900/1800/1900MHZ)
Cellcom SIM CARD support this:
HSPA/UMTS/(2100MHZ) GSM/GPRS/EDGE (Quad band 850/900/1800/1900MHZ)
when i entered a regular sim which is for GSM only the device worked just fine..
but when i entered the USIM (the HSPDA's supported sim card - that suppose to support the GSM frequency as well) the device couldnt recognize any carier..
what should i need to do?
is there a way for changing the sim card frequency settings from the Android's settings?
do i have any possibilty for using HSPDA supported sim card without supported frequency in Israel?? because the device soesnt know the 2100MHZ HSPDA freq.
cause i thougt that device will handle this issue (works for calls) and will block me only when ill want to web through the Cellcom mobile in HSPDA
but still will let me to web through GSM witch is more slowly..
HeLPPPPP
i think you're out of luck unless you get the proper sim card for the proper frequencies.
Since Cellcom uses UMTS 2100, you would have been better off to buy an Asian or European phone. AT&T doesn't use the 2100 band and decided not to include it in this phone. You won't get 3G on that carrier.
According to Wikipedia, another provider - Pelephone - has some of its 3G service on the 850 band which would be supported by the Aria. But in any area that is served only by the 2100 band, your Aria will not get 3G.
No idea why one particular SIM isn't letting you onto their GSM network.
Hi I have a HTC Surround Unlocked (by Imei) but I cant get 3G (UMTS850 Mhz) by carrier is Tigo Honduras have 3G 850Mhz but the phone only get gsm 850MHz, any Idea, What happen?
hi, you have to unlock the bands, to make the phone unbranded after this you will be available to get either gsm or 3g
