OK, I've got two JAM's (backup for my boss in case he loses his, no joke, a definite possibility), so I've got the luxury of doing some playing with the spare. These are both 900/1800/1900mhz versions of the JAM bought before the 850mhz version was even available.
I was installing various radios (1.01, 1.05, 1.10, 1.11) seeing which is best. See xda-developers for instructions. I've got T-mobile sims in both JAMs.
I installed 1.10 radio (850mhz version) on the spare JAM, and I liked the speed with which it acquired a signal. Also the signal seemed to hold slightly better in my office, than the 1.05 radio version on my JAM, with both side-by-side.
So I do a little network check, by manually checking for available networks between the two sitting side-by-side. Well the 1.10 radio pops up and gives T-mobile and Cingular as options. And the 1.05 radio pops up with T-mobile and AT&T wireless only. Now I'm pretty sure Cingular in my area is only 850mhz, which would seem to be confirmed by this little test. Of course I can't connect to it, as the sim is T-mobile.
So I go get a Cingular sim from an employee, and pop it in the 1.10 radio JAM and do the manual network check, and Cingular and T-mobile again pop up as options. I pick Cingular and walaa, it connects with about 3 bars. I can make and receive phone calls. The upper right corner of the phone pad says Cingular as well. I then remove the Cingular sim and pop it in my 1.05 radio JAM. I do the manual network check and the only options which appear are AT&T wireless and T-mobile. I can connect to AT&T wireless but have only one bar.
So to recap, I put the Cingular sim in the 1.10 radio JAM (850mhz radio on device which is supposedly only 900/1800/1900mhz) and I can connect to Cingular. I put the Cingular sim in the 1.05 radio JAM (900/1800/1900mhz radio and device) and I can only connect to AT&T wireless not Cingular (it says AT&T wireless in upper right corner of phone pad).
To me, this means that the 900/1800/1900mhz JAM is really 850/900/1800/1900mhz (quad band) but only crippled to tri-band by the radio firmware. Am I all wet here?
edit- my model numbe is PM10A which is supposedly the 900/1800/1900 version.
What a great news!!! I am updating my only my radio image to 1.10 (w/ Chinese Dopod 818 1.06 for the OS) and see how it goes.

Apparently you could damage your GSM radio so that it might malfunction. However, I have seen a few people here who've used the 1.10 radio firmware without adverse results. Anyone have any more feedback?
Calling All Magician Experts, How to convert Jam 850 MHz to
Hi
i have tested this but unfortunately it is not true, does any know how to convert the 850 MHz JAM to the 900MHz JAM ??

Was wondering if the VOX (S710) had the capability to have the radio activated to 3G, similar to the Treo 750v with SetHSDPA.exe update from Hermes.
They are both HTC I believe, didn't know if it was just a matter of turning it on, or if the radio is not compatible and we have to wait for the s730
well, i don't bealive that the vox has the 3g chips inside otherwise it would have a higher production cost. The update you are talking about is from 3g to 3.5g (speed increment).

No it is not. Only O2 XDA Orion and XDA IQ are Tornadoes (as well as Qtek 8300 and 8310, i-Mate SP5 and SP5m, Dopod 586W and 577W, T-Mobile SDA US version, Orange SPV C600, Cingular 2100 and 2125, Vodafone v1240 and VDA II). Here's a complete list of all HTC models.
Hell no, its not even manufactured by HTC, but by Asustek as Jupiter
O2 uses xscale CPU, Tornado OMAP.
Stupid question - but in the list of phones on the main screen here, which one is for my AT&T tilt?? What is my model known as besides the tilt??
Thanks
HTC Kaiser, T-Mobile MDA Vario III, TyTn II
At&t also calls it the 8925 (or 8900 w/o camera). Since it's the successor to the 8525 aka Tytn aka Hermes.
First of all thanks for the help that you provide to us the newbie’s
And since I’m a newbie I have a lot of questions let’s see if you can help me.

1.- How can I know wish HTC do I have (Wizard, Artemis .etc)?
Searching the forum I think I have the HTC Apache: XV6700, PPC-6700
2.- How can I be sure? Thanks
3.- Is there a Tool to unlock this device? Or can I use the Wizard?
found this (can't post the link) but all the links are broken
I know now that this is an old phone but it’s a Birthday present from one of my daughters
And I don’t want to make her feel bad
Thanks for any help that you can give me

now I know what I have
Now after reading for more than a week
1.- I did try to flash it with the PDAJ Apache WM6.1 v2.02 without luck leaving the phone in Boot loader mode where you can read serial and V 2.0
2.- did connect the phone to the PC and you can read the connection USB in it then every time I try to flash it I get the error 150 this is not for this device or something like that
3.- After numerous attempts finally did flash it with the APA_VZW_20720_206_11000_WWE_Ship and in did it work
4.- at this time if you plug the phone to the PC you can see the main Disk (ROM I think) and the memory only so I keep trying to flash this with a generic one with the same results 150 error
5.- What I did was did change all the RUU the UI and the ROM Upgrade Ut with the nk.nbf of the generic from the APA_VZW_20720_206_11000_WWE_Ship to the generic and I have now the Generic one in the phone Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1620 Build 18125.0.4.2
ROM version 3.50.00 WWE radio 1.10.00 ExtROM version 2.07.206 WWE
6.- If I plug the phone I can see now the ROM the ext ROM 2 and the memory
My question how can you change this to be use it with another SIM (company) ?
Thanks
the phone does have a sim card tray
so it insn't a CDMA.
Thanks for the add info.
now Im' not sure
Removable User Identity Module (R-UIM) is a card developed for CDMA handsets that extends the GSM SIM card to CDMA phones and networks. To work in CDMA networks, the R-UIM contains an early version of the CSIM application. The card also contains SIM (GSM) application, so it can work on both networks. It is physically compatible with GSM SIMs and can fit into existing GSM phones as it is an extension of the GSM 11.11 standard [1].
This interface brings one of the main advantages of GSM to CDMA network phones. By having a removable identity card, CDMA users can change phones while keeping their phone numbers by simply swapping the cards. This simplifies many situations such as phone upgrades, phone replacements due to damage, or using the same phone on a different provider's CDMA network.
The R-UIM card has been superseded by CSIM on UICC. This technique allows all three applications (SIM, CSIM, and USIM) to coexist on a single smartcard, allowing the card to be used in virtually any phone worldwide that supports smart cards.
The CSIM application, a port of R-UIM functionality to the UICC, is defined in standard [2]
This form of card is widely used in China under the CDMA service of China Unicom (The CDMA service of China Unicom was acquired by China Telecom in 2008) . However, it is also used elsewhere such as India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Japan.
I can see in the phone that the DATA TRANSFER in all the ROMs that I can find is EVDO or 1X I can find one with GSM with EDGE or 3G
Data transfer
CDMA: The best data transfer technology it has to offer is the EVDO technology, allowing for a maximum download speed of about 2mb/s (about 700kbps in practice), which is similar to what a DSL line has to offer. EVDO is not available everywhere yet and requires a cell phone that is EVDO ready.
GSM: Offers EDGE, allowing for a maximum download speed of 384kbps (around 140kbps in practice). More technologies are being developed on top of EDGE such as HSDPA to boost the transfer rate to over 384kbps in practice. This technology requires an EDGE-ready cell phone.
CDMA offers faster data download and would therefore be the favoured choice for data transfer. GSM is catching up fast however, but its EDGE technology
Is there a way to enable the EDGE or 3G on this phone?
