I have an AT&T S7 Edge and use the Next Radio App on my phone with no issues. When I travel to Canada with my phone, the FM app won't work any more. I assume it is because it won't search in Canada for stations. Does anyone know of another app that would allow me to simply dial in a station manually?

Can the bandswitch.exe app be used to enable this radio interface?
thanks,

I believe that xda2 is triband so can do 900/1800/1900.
If it can do 1900, is this accessible using the bandswitch.exe ?
Also is it the same 1900 used in the states (usa) ?
[So if someone was travelling EU to USA, one could call up this
opened up tab section on the pda and then select something
compatible with either system....EU=gsm and USA=cdma. ??
XDA II is tri-band GSM, w/c you can use anywhere in the world who has GSM coverage. CDMA is a different kind of network. I believed that is US/North America the provider using it are Sprint and Verizon, if I am not mistaken. GSM network are used by T-mobile, Cingular and now AT&T is converting also from TDMA to GSM.
And the answer is NO, you cannot use XDA II to a CDMA network. You have to change hardware parts of it. BUT yes you can used it to 1900 network in the US w/c is GSM.

Hope this help!

Right. Within a few years however there will be phones where the entire radio transceiver is handled in software, and where changing system is indeed just a software upgrade.
(And then with some extra software your phone could also be a police scanner, family radio, marine radio, GPS receiver, Iridium/Thuraya/Inmarsat phone, GSM jammer/base station/IMSI-catcher, spread spectrum low-probability-of-detection military radio or celldar unit. Fun!)

I currently have a HTC legend and it is from Bell mobility, I want to use it on the T- mobile network. Everything works except for the mobile 3g internet and picture messaging. I did the setup in the settings/ wireless networks but the 3g part of it still seems to not want to work. I was wondering if there is a flash available? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm pretty sure T-mobile uses different bands than the phone supports, AT&T will work with 3G though.
Ahhhhh, don't tell me I have to go back to At&t????
Unless you can live on EDGE only...

Well what about a radio update? Could I update the radio on the legend and gain access the the 3G network?
The hardware will only let you on certain frequencies, T-Mobile does not use those frequencies. You cannot change those frequencies with a radio update.

Hello,
I have been reading about HTC Vision Radio around posts here (For both the G2 and the D-Z).
I saw that that the hardware specs for the Radio bands are different between the 2 models and that people can actually flash the Radios from both models into the G2 device (Which I own).
Considering I use an Israeli operator that has 3G network only (known that its bands are 850/2100 here), My question is - Does updating the Radio for my device is actually controlling the bands I can use with it ???
In other words, The main Radio circuit supports all bands and then the Radio Firmware locks it to use the specific band for the specific operator ? (i.e. T-Mobile) ...
I would love to know if that's true, so I definitely need to upgrade/update to a working Radio for my operator since I know right now I'm using only the 2100 Band and I'm getting real reception issues.....
Thanks in advanced,
Amir.
You're asking whether changing radios can change the bands used by the device for calling/data? If so than no it can't, flashing a different radio can't change a Tmo G2 to use at&t 3g bands etc... That's pure hardware.

In my work developing an App for localized radar information, I find that when I need information from the internet, my phone doesnt use the wifi, but relys on data usage. My house's wifi is unsecured, and my phone is always connected when in range, but where I do my developing in the house there is scant 3g coverage and mostly Edge coverage. (Kinda inbetween towers where I live)
For example, my Weatherbug App will not load (and sometimes lock up) unless the signal indicator says H or 3G or 4G, while being connected to wifi.
I am new to mobile OS so is there something I am doing wrong or something I have not set on the phone?
I have a very weak signal in my apartment. My phone constantly bounces between no signal and 1 or 2 bars. I find that my DVP works much better when I manually turn off the data connection in the Cellular settings when I want to use wifi as my primary connection.
Your DVP says H or 4G? If so, you have soemhing the rest of us do not..

Yeah my carrier put a 4g sim into my DVP and upgraded the radio...Works too, I didnt believe it when I first heard it.
i call shenanigans.
if there was a way to screen cap i would show you...but i do not know of any way thus far.
speaking of which, what radio version do you guys have? I got radio software 2.2.50.18, is that any different?

I have that same radio in my at&t dvp. Bottom line is that the phone does not ship with a 4g capable radio. No SIM card changes that fact. Don't let the goons at the phone store fool you.

I agree. DVP is not 4G capable.
hey they offered a free upgrade and I took it...but I havent been able to connect to a 4g network so maybe they WERE fooling me....either way the Wifi issue has been solved so no more discussion on this if you would please.
who faced the same?
Hi,
What knowledge is available in using the GSM radio transceiver in the mobile for direct connection to another mobile, bypassing the network? Is there any work done on reversing the modem ROM in any device? Specially the Samsung ones, which have lots of open code.
Thanks.
The 'open code' on Samsung (or any) smartphone does not pertain to the GSM radio firmware. And your ability to get in and muck with the GSM radio/firmware is very limited - they really don't want you playing with that.
I don't believe that what you want to do is possible - GSM just isn't made for that - but if it is then your best approach would be to get a GSM software radio. Try searching on "Universal Software Radio Peripheral".
