Pretty much what the title says, i'm wondering if it'll work 3G in Hong Kong.
I've tried to do some searching online relating to the bands used by different countries but it seems that there is always more than a single band. Does this mean that as long as the phone has one of the needed bands then 3G will function normally, or rather optimally? I'm assuming (and i could be way off) that the phone automatically jumps to an available frequency?
According to the list below,
Hong Kong:
Smartone supports 850/900/2100.
3 supports 2100
CSL supports 900/2100
PCCW supports 2100
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UMTS_networks
Specs of Infuse: 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
Thanks!
In India we have band 2100 for 3G and phones from USA that support 2100 work well in India
What other carriers (anywhere not just USA) use AT&T 3G/4G data Frequencies? Basically where else in the world could one get 3G/4G data with an AT&T phone.
most of Canada,some in austraia and new zeland and some in south America. not sure about aisa. but I can tell you bell telus and rogers from Canada are all compatible. can't really name the ones in other countries but maybe someone else can help out.
Works for me here in Mexico, just had to add the proper APN for my carrier Telcel and its good to go, i think some central and south america countries too i had a friend from Argentina telling me he bought and Infuse also and its working good on his carrier Claro.
Works in India on a few networks. I was on two - Airtel and Tata, and it worked on both. Airtel used 900 GSM and Tata used 1900 GSM for 3G.
Thanks to everyone who has helped!
infuse use 850/1900/2100
and AT&T use 850/1900
and 2100 is used all over the world.
I don't know why american carrier use other frequencies
but except United States, all use 2100 for 3G
so, if you unlock your infuse, you can use it everywhere

Looks like you are referring to EU markets.
I was in India a couple months back, and my Infuse was on 1900 band on Tata network for 3G.
Basically i have purchased the Samsung anycall galaxy s and i am wondering if this will work in the UK.
If it is on GSM then it will but if your on LTE or sum cmda you will need to flash to a.GSM firmware
All I want is a Good Stable ROM With Ics Theme On My Droid RAZR.
(651.73.30 XT910) if you got any suggestions for me please PM ME.
I used 2 be thr main guy on the but now on the RAZR i'm asking for help @[email protected]
If the standard GSM of UK norm is the same of Korean, will work.
UK Standard GSM norm:
Orange UK - GSM 1800mhz 3G2100mhz
T-Mobile UK - GSM 1800mhz 3G2100mhz
Telefonica O2 UK - GSM 900/1800mhz 3G 2100mhz
Vodafone Ltd - GSM 900/1800mhz 3G 2100mhz
H3UK - 3G 2100mhz
South Korea Standard GSM norm:
KT Freetel Co., Ltd (KTF) - 3G 2100mhz
SK Telecom - 3G 2100mhz
Well, the Standard GSM norm in Europe is 2100mhz.
Let me know if you want more informations.

Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy a Galaxy SIII from the States to use here in Australia, and am having a hard time understanding the intricacies of the cellular bands. I get that CDMA stuff is a no go (Verizon, Sprint) and that it seems only TMobile and AT&T are possibilities. Here is a chart with the variants and their banding listed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III
The variants support all 2g frequencies, but I don't understand how the 3g part works. The t-mobile one in the 3g band is
850, AWS (Band IV), 1,900, 2,100 MHz UMTS / HSPA+ / DC-HSPA+
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
, which doesn't include the 900 that some networks use here. Will the phone use only 2G if this is the case? Will that make any difference to me? Will the AT&T one work as well?
Can someone please give me some clarification? :victory:
Below is the info for Aus carriers...
2G
2G, other wise known as GSM, is standard on almost all phones (except CDMA phones in the USA). Most new phones come with quad band GSM support. A quad band GSM phone supports 850, 900, 1800, and 1900MHz.
2G is old technology and provides a fall back position when 3G coverage is unavailable.
Australian 2G bands:
900Mhz (Telstra, Optus & Vodafone)
1800Mhz (Telstra, Optus & Vodafone)
3G
There are several 3G networks operating in Australia. 3G frequencies are usually specified as UMTS/HSDPA or WCDMA frequencies on the mobile phone specifications.
Australian 3G bands:
850MHz (Telstra, Vodafone) – Exclusive 3G band
900MHz (Optus, Vodafone) – available in most metro areas on Optus, with both Optus and Vodafone re-farming the 2G 900 spectrum in regional and rural areas
2100MHz (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone) – Exclusive 3G band
Hey guys!
Just wondering what Moto G versions will be available, specifically what antennas will each version have?
I'm on Wind Mobile in Canada (AWS Band).
So far I found a few diff. versions of this phone, for US, UK and Canadian markets.
US radio specs:
http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/moto-g/Moto-G/moto-g-pdp-ways-to-buy.html
Networks
Global GSM Model: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
US GSM Model: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 1700 (AWS), 1900 MHz)
CDMA Model: CDMA/EVDO Rev A (850, 1900 MHz)
UK Band specs:
http://www.motorola.co.uk/consumers/mobile-phones/moto-g-gb.html

Bands/Modes
CDMA: 850/1900 UMTS: 850/900/1700/1900/2100 GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
Canada, Telus Only (for now)
HSPA 850/900/1900/2100; GSM 850/900/1800/1900
It looks like Telus is selling Global GSM Model

It looks like US GSM Model (sold on Motorola US site) WILL work with Wind Mobile in Canada!
While AWS transmits on ~1710-1755 MHz and receives on ~2110-2155 MHz, this band is known as 1700 or Band IV or AWS.
2100 refers to Band I (2100 IMT), a totally different band which is used in Asia and Europe, but not in North America.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
The US version supports AWS because that is what T-Mobile uses in the US, and it's the same band that Wind uses.

Any other models that you guys can add here?
Thanks!
Wow, the UK version actually supports more band, it should be the global version. There are many countries provide Uim card (CDMA sim card) on their CDMA2000 network.
The Brazilian Dual Chip Version has the same Bands of the UK version.
Moto G UK version

I was actually wondering the same thing myself. I wanted to buy one here in the UK because it says it supports all the bands (including 1700), but is this in fact true, or is it just the Global version?

Hi
Are you sure Allewar?
Motorola Brasil and the store they point you to (http://www.lojaoficialmotorola.com.br/product/celulares/116699802/moto-getrade%3B-dual)
doesn't list AWS 1700 band. Unlike the UK version.
See my OP.
Thanks
Moto G
From what I read in Canada we cannot get the 16gb version, have to find online somewhere.
Chilean version (Movistar) and probably all Latinoamerican except Brazil:
3G HSPA 850/900/1900/2100 MHz
2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Data 3G HSDPA 21 Mbps - HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
Data 2G GPRS - EDGE
Hello everyone, first post here!
I ordered a moto G from the us store since I have a connection in Washington state to ship it to. On their site they list 1700(aws) but not the 2100 needed for downloading.
I phoned motorola this morning and informed them of my uncertainty. The level 2 technician replied that the american phone will fully support 1700/2100 used by aws. I also informed the technician of my carrier, so it looks like the american gsm model will work with wind.
cheers :good:
To OP:
Confirmed. Telus/Koodo is indeed selling what looks like the international GSM version.
Model: XT1032
Baseband: MSM8626BP_1032.3051.51.00R
I would love to know how to enable 1700/2100 bands on it!!!
Do we know if there are hardware differences? I would like to see if we can get a thread going for enabling AWS support on international GSM version. There is an extensive knowledge-base here on XDA when it comes to tinkering with the Galaxy S2 and S3 modems and NV parameters to enable Wind/TMO AWS. I remember at one point there was discussion of whether AWS was even possible on the S3 i747.
Any input would be appreciated!!

Sorry I can't help make this happen but I thought I'd offer my support and would also love to see 1700/2100 bands enabled.

Hi matlabwtf! Welcome to XDA
Thanks for sharing your findings.
From what I've researched so far, 1700 MHz AWS band operates on 1700 up and 2100 down.
There's another AWS band as well, 2100MHz AWS band, it operates on 1900 up and 2100 down. It is used overseas, Asia, Europe, etc.
The carriers (cellphone companies and their employees) confuse people when they tell you need 1700/2100 band phone.
In reality you only need to make sure that the phone has 1700 AWS band, that's all.
Please let us know when your receive your handset, thanks.

Glad to help! Is there any way to know the model number and baseband for the US GSM (AWS) version?? If it's the same model then I bet it is just a matter of flashing the relevant modem and nvdata parameters.

Hey
I'd have to dig some more to find out if all the models have same radios internally. Supposedly there were 5 models of Moto G approved by the FCC in the US:
XT1032, XT1033, XT1034, XT1035, and XT1036

UK Version
Just wanted to add that the UK version, despite listing the 1700 UMTS on the UK Motorola site, does not list said band on the box. I checked in store today, and it only had UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100. Appears to be the same as the Global version being sold in the US.
Hi Irfan
If they have a working demo, would you be able to check the settings and look at the model number and baseband? Only if you get an opportunity that is...
