Hi to all, sorry for this question but i noobie here, im trying to understand what is a radio upgrade?, i get a qtek 9000 and its only triband 900/1900/1800 and here where i live i need 850, i was wondering if a radio upgrade will solve my problem? it add a 850 band? thx and sorry my bad english
Radio upgrades can give you a better signal (atleast that's what they are suppose to do ). But it will not turn a tri-band phone into a quad-band phone.

so can anyone tell me if I am right? Here in north america we are just starting to get UMTS in some areas. And I have been waiting for the universal wanting to get one. but our north american umts network is on the 1900 mhz band mode and the rest of the world uses the 2100 mhz band mode for umts. that meens that the universal will have its umts radio on 2100. So does that meen it wont work here as a umts device and I will be stuck with just gprs?? if so I just cant buy it
Hi,
AFAIK, all UMTS phones, so the Universal, are GPS phones as well. So, form a technical point of view you can use the phone whereever there is reception. At least here in germany,the GPS service provider are the same as the UMTS service provider. So, if you leave a UMTS zone the phone automatically logs into the GPS zone. I would expect that it is the same in the US.

EDIT: Now I have read your message completely and see, that I provided an answer that does not match your question 2nd try: I would expect that if you get your UMTS device via an US provider that it matches its UMTS band. But, without coverage you are stuck with GPRS/GPS, thats right
ARGH, that sucks. because Im sure that by the time they make a north american universal it will be outdated anyway :roll:
I tend to agree. I thought that with UMTS whis crazy frequency problem would disappear finally....
I just checked on the german t-mobile page, which has the Universal, T-Mobile MDA Pro as they call it, on their page.
Unfortunately there is no UMTS frequency mentioned. Maybe there is one generic UMTS setting which allows different frequencies to be used, and all UMTS devices support all the frequencies?
OK, that might be a bit optimistic, I agree ...
Edit:
I got interested and checked for the UMTS frequency situation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS
So, even with the special US situation, the UMTS frequencies are not connected to contries but comminucation methods (FDD, TDD). So, as long as the UMTS implementation in the US does not differ from the ITU standards, you should be able to use the Universal in the US. But even the above mentioned wiki page is not clear on the situation, so probably you will have to wait and see ...
Oh well I guess I will just have to wait for the wizard or maybee even (Forgive me) a non htc device???
if the wizard has a slower prosesor than my magician I just cant buy it either. and I have my magician tweaked up to 520mhz
I know this is off-topic
I have my magician tweaked up to 520mhz

what program are you using for that...??
I tried PHM and it hang :evil:
then I tried XCPUScalar.. and it worked, I could overclock it to 520 MHz, but when I tried Beta-Player to benchmark the device.... it said 416 MHz..
and when I used lower speeds.. Beta-player and the XCPUScalar gave the same result
so I could only under-clock my device, but I couldn't overclock it...
are you sure that your device is running at 520 MHz?? and if so, is it stable??and any noticeable improvement in performance??
thanks in advance
Heres the deal my friends in the US.
And btw....its really not good news at all....

I have a HTC touch pro T7272 from Europe and it uses the European 3G bands currently.
What are the benefits of flashing my Radio to a newer version? Is it possible to use US 3G bands by flashing a different Radio ROM or is the US 3G limited by hardware?
Thanks for taking the time to read and I apologize if this is in the wrong area!
Hi guys, I don't know if this is a basic question but I have to ask it since I haven't find an answer yet...
Can I modify the HSDPA/UMTS band via ROM or SPL update?
I bougth a HTC T-mobile myTouch (1700/2100 MHz bands, UMTS/HSDPA) but later I realized that here in CHILE my provider uses the 850/1900 band for 3g .
If I root my phone and try a different SPL and ROM, is it possible to change bands?
So, can I do somethig to make it work here or is it a matter of hardware?
Thanks
it would require hardware change....
You could sell the MyTouch and buy a Rogers Magic or Dream. They use the same 3G frequency as your networks in Chile. 850/1900
I'm from Chile too, I have the same "problem" But actually I don't care to much because next year 2 Nextel and VTR will offer mobile services... And they are gonna be based on the 1700/2100 bands...

Hi no-frost, I know that next year that will happen, but nobody really knows when... By the way, I saw your other posts, I wanted to tell you that I rooted an entel magic phone without loosing 3g or wifi...(via gold card) after a lor of trying an error I finally cach up with a mixture of ROM and SPL that worked
Hi guys, so this is my first post and i do not want to be such a noob but i certainly know this is a stupid question.... anyways i'm from costa rica new in the android world of this amazing lg optimus 3d phone, unfortunately here our carrier only work 3g on 850 mhz, i think this phone only comes in 900, as i read this is something with the hardware?? or not, is there a possible way to flash it to get 850 ? hey thank anyone who can helps !
Bands are hardware, you can't flash new ones in software.
The Thrill 4G (US Optimus 3D) supports 3G 850 Mhz bands so if buy that one and get it unlocked, you will be good to go.
You could also get the Rogers Optimus 3D because it also supports 3G 850 Mhz.

Khristoff,
I don't know if it will help you, but my Optimus 3D (P920H) from Claro Brazil works with 850mhz on HSDPA. I know that "Killer Bee" said about "Bands are hardware", but with my old android phone (Motorola Dext/CliQ) depending the firmware you use, you can add or lost some frequences.
here on XDA Delevopers have 2 posts about the firmwares and how to apply.

Oi! Hyuuga_br
Obrigado pela ajuda! Do you know if any of those FW include 850Mhz?
I read that Thrill and Optimus has the same HW, Am I wrong ? that means they should support same things... is there a way to put like a thrill FW on a optimus ( I am just telling what is in my mind you are the experts)
Specifications are different for the Thrill and the Optimus, but I wouldn't know if that's hardware of just firmware related:
Thrill 4G:
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS (3G): 850, 1900
Optimus 3D:
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS (3G): 900, 1900, 2100
Hey folks thanks a lot, looks like there are other carriers coming to my country that will use 900 MHZ so I think I will have to wait for them to use 3g heheheh thank you all for your responses!
what's the difference b/w P920 and P920G ? is there any radio difference ? I own a P925g here in India and carrier frequency is 900mhz/1800mhz. the phone does not identify my network.
By any chance now that GB is leaked and we can modify the Baseband's is there a way to modify the p920 BB to get 850 ? Just asking ...
if someone give me a hand I will probably work on it (if is possible)
Good Afternoon!
After looking at the frequencies above this may be why I was having difficulies registering on the network here in Ontario, Canada after flashing the Gingerbread baseband.
I too am interested in your question!
Thanks, Audi2Audi.
just a question, if someone can help, I has been reading all the afternoon and looks like P920H (LATAM version) have BB 850 GHz, and this is a supposition:

Crime_of_heart is adding the GB baseband after installing the ROM using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490
looks like he stucked @ 22% but it works....
so what if I try to mood the stock P920 with the V10k ROM and using this method I do change the BB to p920H

Any Ideas?
I will give it a try and let you know how it goes, hope dnt brick my phone jajaja lol
I try to install Thriller ROM with no success in signal and it crashes, hehe I will have to check some of the p920h stuff to move on
Telstra 850MHz UMTS(WCDMA-3G) baseband for LG Optimus 3D
Has anyone had any success using baseband from more Telstra (850MHz) capatible LG mobile, and sqeezing it somehow into an Optimus 3D...
Great handset, but the reception on Telstra is damn frustrating..
