The site Popular Electronics (I have no personal connection of any kind) advertises for sale a 850 MHz Touch pro
http://www.popularelect.com/product...id=CNPmmfGZhJUCFQRJFQod5VhbrQ&tab=2&osCsid=10
and it specifies that it has an 850 MHz capability:
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (Band frequency and data speed are operator dependent)
Is this for real? All sites I have checked so far specify that the 850MHz version is not available as yet.
If the information of this site is for real, would it work for AT&T?
what a thousand dollar phone
these chinese pricks are getting ridiculous !!!(HTC)
In relation to my question: Is the 850 MHz part for real?
The actual store, btw, is in Chicago.
Correct if I'm wrong, but AFAIK all Pros are quad band GSM.
Yes, all of them have 850mhz available. And it's not Chinese, smart guy.

It is for real. Check out the specifications on the main htc website it says exactly the same thing. The Europe/Asia version will work on Verizon, but you won't be able to get WCDMA speeds. The US version has 850/1900 WCDMA, whereas the Europe/Asia version as mentioned on the HTC site has 900/2100. Would be nice if they could make one with all 4 WCDMA's
I have definitely seen some sites that claim the Touch Pro is only Tri-Band, but the HTC site would be the one to go by seeing as they made it an all
WCDMA (3G) is where it differs. All Touch Pro's do NOT have 850mhz WCDMA. You can get service everywhere, but only 3G in areas with 900/2100mhz 3G... AT&T uses 850/1900 for 3G.

No they do not all have it activated, smart guy ....look here at the official Dutch HTC site specs:
http://www.htc.com/nl/product.aspx?id=54146
No 850mhz band... not even for gsm (voice) function. Its a triband not quadband....
And after browsing this forum for weeks now its still not clear to me if the 850mhz band can be activated with just a rom/radio update..... a lot of different opinions in here....
Somebody knows the 'truth'?

First of all, it is a ROM flash, second, their specs page for english used to say triband too but they changed it to quad band...
I have a friend who works for ATT and just tested the new HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) and said that ATT is planning on releasing them in November, code named "ATT Fusion."
Of course, they claim it's real...

These guys say (of course) they got a few in stock and they sold quickly. These are actually the EUROPE/ASIA version but the rep claims they are Quadband and that 3G works on both AT&T and T-Mobile (US). They are getting more in next week.

The more I read the more I get confused.....are the phones (if as advertised) in the site mentioned on post 14 likely to be working with ATT 3G?
UMTS/HSDPA for 850/900/1900/2100 on Touch Pro
I also keep on hearing this regarding bands on the Touch Pro. Can the UMTS/HSDPA band be activated for 850/900/1900/2100 by just flashing a custom ROM or changing the Radio Version? Please someone answer this....
This is something i want to know as well. I've been doing quite a bit of searching with no answer as of yet.
I live 40 minutes from Chicago and have asked this company about AT&T, Quad Band, and actual prodoct availability.
If they have them in stock, I will drive to their store, insert my AT&T SIM card and see if it will actually work.
But first, let's see if they respond to my questions.
Good deal...

Yea...I'm close to these guys too. Actually there are about 5 electronics storefront stores all next door to each other over there on W. Devon in Chicago. I bought my last 4 unlocked GSM phones from that area. Oddly enough, Popular Electronics have NEVER been the first to have any of the phones I wanted. For the past 2 years their usual answer has been "It will be here MONDAY." But "MONDAY" takes months to come!
The guys next door at Overseas Electronics (http://www.welectronics.com/) have always gotten the phones FIRST in that area--including the TyTN II. Even the other store next door to them (http://bargainoffers.com/catalog/default.php) get the hottest GSM phones before Pop Elect. This time though, Overseas say about 3-4 weeks out for the Touch Pro...so I'm really interested to know if Pop Elect actually gets them FOR REAL "by MONDAY" this time.
Please keep us informed. Thanks!!

Hello,
I'm curious to know is the 3G HSPA 2100/1700 frequency hardware based or software?
For example can one change the frequency to point say at 850MHz?
I'm currently with Rogers, and their 3G network is not on the same band.
Thanks
Nah, its a hardware restriction. Tmobile did this because 2100-1700 are dedicated 3G pipelines. They device does not have 850 or 1900 wcdma only 21-1700
http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=1763
this is so it can not be used on at&t 3g.
if i remember correctly 1700 is for d/l and 2100 is for u/l
i dont know much about phones....or the various cellphone network types.
But isn't a frequency a frequency? Wouldn't it be the softwares job to interpret the data on the various frequencies?

True, software could interprete the singnal, it just wouldn't be as efficient.
The easiest comparison I could make would be video enconding on a PC. You can have your PC encode a video in h.264 it will just take a while. Meanwhile your HD-DVR is doing the same thing in real time. The difference is the dedicated chip in the HD-DVR that only does h.264 encoding.
I have no idea if there's a way to get the raw signal from one of the other radios, let alone if there's enough power in the G1 to interpret it without the chip. I'd guess not on both cases.

Nice comparison... but I think it is more like a wireless router. A 802.11b router can't use 802.11g... why not they run on the same frequency? Because it isn't just the frequency you have to look at. G takes a different amount of power than B. Same with the different bands. 2100 take a different amount than 850.
If you really want to see a comparison wiki radio frequencies and you will see why cb radios and those little walkie talkies don't work on all frequencies too. There is a lot more to it than just telling the radio to go up or down a couple numbers.
Nope
Qualcomm 7201 Chipset and Baseband is fully Compatible with 850 / 1700 / 2100 / 1900 Bands
You just have to have additional Component on the Board to have additional Support
Please see the motherboard Diagram its Self Sufficient i think.

I thought it was GSM 850 / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900 WCDMA 1700 / WCDMA 2100
Is GSM 850 the same as WCDMA 850?
But it looks like you answered two questions with that post... someone else was looking for pics of the phones insides. Good job finding those.
Its all hardware based and will not work on at&t 3G. The phone does not have the hardware to pick up 850/1900mhz frequency. Tmobile did this not to screw people over but because they have no need to. The phone was made for T-mobile there is no reason to support at&t bands.
Just like everyone said, it is a hardware thing. As far as I know, since T-Mobile got the short straw and got the 1700MHz band, there really isn't a "universal" phone now that can operate on all GSM and all 3G frequencies worldwide yet. Manufacturers would have to have like 9 total bands supported and with the trend towards smaller and smaller phones, it's something that gets cut early. So the short of it is this: expecting the G1 to work on AT&T's 3G band is a lot like expecting an FM-only radio to pick up AM signals.....or exactly like expecting an American FM radio to pick up all the FM stations in Japan (which uses a wider FM band.)
But keep in mind that the 1700/2100 numbers don't refer to a specific frequency, but a band of frequencies at or around the number. If you've ever used a shortwave radio, you know that they use terms like "the 11-meter band," which is a range of frequencies with a wavelength of around 11m. Luckily, the range of the 2100MHz band that T-Mobile USA uses overlaps the European band enough to make the phone work over there.

Something Interesting...
I found something that might be of interest... If you install "Any Cut" and create a link for "Phone Info" (Long press on you desktop, then > Shortcut > Any Cut > Activity> Phone Info). Once created, you will have a shortcut on your desktop for "Phone Info". Click the "Phone Info" Shortcut and press the menu key. Then click the menu option "Select radio b..." From here you will have the option to change your radio band:
Set GSM/UMTS band:
Automatic
EURO Band
USA Band
Japan Band
AUS Band
AUS2 Band
This would suggest to me that the radio can be controlled via software. What do the experts think? Do you think we could get 3G working on AT&T's Network?

My phone is locked. I can't use my AT&T SIM. Sorry. But when I switch to different bands, I do loose my signal until I switch back.
I have a friend who builds small electronic devices. If I had a damaged tilt would it be possible to remove the 3G antenna and a few resistors and replace the ones in the G1 to make it work on the ATT 3G bands?
Does anyone know enough about the board construction to know what would need to be replaced?
I did use that activity to change the band to get it to work with my provider here in the United Arab Emirates. The thing is I honestly don't know what they are using, publishing reliable info is not a strong point of the operators around here. I grabbed that of a web-site:
The Middle East operators are using the primary 2.1 GHz band for the UMTS/HSDPA operation. Not too precise eh.
I used the Japan labeled band.(?)
sim unlock GI via 611
I was on the horn with CS anyway and figured it would be worth a try to ask for an unlock code request for my G1, they dont have the magic keygens at the Tmob secret base, they have to request it from the OEM, back in the day they gave them out but after many public keygens they got a bit pickier about who get the keys to the liquor cabnet.
when mine comes Ill get an at&T prepay bump sim and mess about a bit just to prove it wont work, and to everybody else ...CALL 611!! ask them for the unlock code tell um you go back and forth to Europe or Iraq or Pagopago, I may not be necessarry but I always have a bit of fun with the story, it used to be a email system send imei to "[email protected]" and get your code in a few days, the good ole dayz

The Menu is shown as the Chipset Qualcomm 7201 actually supports These Bands, But it Require Radio RF/TS Unit to Actually Push Radio Frequcny via Internal antenna. Seeing the Board Picture it only have 1700 and 2100 RF Units. So even is Chipset is compatible it can not Push the Signal or Received Signal other then it is made for. I think in Future then can alter some Hardware and make it more compatible.
So, I'm wondering if I had a broken tilt with the 850 transmit antenna chip in it if I could have that antenna module removed and put in the G1 would that be all that is needed to work on the ATT 3G network?
Anybody, know if that might work since the chipset seems to support the frequency?
I can't afford to pay more than $175 for my phone. I'm a long time ATT customer and can't/won't change carriers. So, I'm trying to get one off of Craigslist or Ebay for about $250.00 or $275.00.
If anyone knows where I can get one for that price please let me know. If I can get one I'll try the antenna replacement idea.
I know I've asked this before but i've never got a solid answer. Can I change the Radio frequency or add it to what the phone is capable of doing so I can hook onto Telus's new HSPA network and not worry about them catching on to what i'm doing?
No, you can only use a phone on frequencies which it has hardware for. If it is not equipped for the HSPA radio frequencies...... you cannot use it.

Then explain to me this. The frequencies this phone is capable of doing according to the telus website are:
3G EVDO Rev A (800/1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA (2100 MHz)
GSM/ EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
This means my phone is capable of doing it. That means the frequency control is completely software. That being said I should be able to change it so the frequency can include the 2100 MHz as well. The only reason my phone doesn't right now is cause it's about 6 months older than the hspa network and on the CDMA system.
But if it is all software controlled I should be able to do both. Is my logic wrong on this??
Is this against the rules or something is that why people won't talk about it? Cause it's can't be impossible. If no one wants to talk about it, PM or point me in the right direction so I can know where to start looking.
The HSPA network is gsm not cdma as far as I know. So that means you would have to use a telus sim card to get that network.

2G Network:GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network :HSDPA 900 / 2100
850mhz band is for 2g
U want 2g while u select wcdma only, is it that ?
Why dont u select gsm only if thats the case
Perhaps it ispossible, but you need to flash another radio image for it. Also, your radio must support that frquency.

Well, say our phone supports that band (which I guess it does), we need to hack the radio image. I have done it on Nokia phones before, but never looked into it for LG P500.

Frequency support is hardware based. If the 900 Mhz HSPA frequency is not supported in hardware (which it should not be, since its not in the phone's specs), it can't be added by flashing any amount of software radios, ROMs etc.
actually while you are correct, but normally if 850 mhz is supported the hardware will support 900 in my experience. In fact I managed to get 900mhz, working on my at&t skyrocket so it got me thinking that it might be possible on this phone as well
Doubt it. It's entirely hardware related. Software can't change this at all.

The Skyrocket and HOX do support 850/900/1800/1900 on the 2G network, but they only support 850/1800/1900 on the 3G side. Why they do this is beyond me.
That said, I've never personally seen a provider who only has 3G on the 900mhz band. While traveling in Germany, I knew that Vodafone and T-Mobile (DE) had 3G on the 900mhz band, but they also run it on 1800mhz. If I were to wager a hypothesis, they are operating their 2G network on 900 and their 3G network on 1800, much in the same way that AT&T operates its 2G network on 850 (in some areas) and its 3G network on 1900.
Unless your provider is only operating on the 900mhz band, it shouldn't matter.

well I have 2100 as well but the point is I am wondering if there is any roms that support the 900mhz band. Doesn't 02 use 900mhz 3G?
Besides on the official website it says this! (Asia/AUS: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz)
IS the hardware on the AT&T one X the same as the one on the one XL?

Sorry, I didn't realize you had an Australian One X(L). According to the official specs, it should support 3G on the 900 mhz band. The rom you use won't make a difference. If the One X REALLY supports 3G on the 900mhz band, it should work with whatever rom/radio combo you choose. That said, there is a possibility that it is a typo on HTC's part, and that it doesn't actually support 3G on that band.

I had the Skyrocket, not the OP. I was just comparing frequency specs.

Actually, if you read post #3 the OP mentions he has an AT&T Skyrocket also.

Its really not clear what the OP has, and what the specs are. Maybe purchsed from Vodaphone in New Zealand from the logos by his avatar? Or he could have bought the phone from a 3rd party source? In any case, he seems to be pulling specs from a generic source like the HTC website, since it indicates "Asia/Aus". Its best if he got the specs from the carrier (if its a carrier purchased phone) to make sure the specs match up with the exact version you have. Even so, typos and incorrect listing have been known to happen, as mentioned.
If the band really is listed in the specs, it should be supported in software, and no changes should be needed. Is the correct APN entered?
If settings are all correct, and data is still not working, it suggests the hardware does not in fact support the band.

actually while you are correct, but normally if 850 mhz is supported the hardware will support 900 in my experience. In fact I managed to get 900mhz, working on my at&t skyrocket so it got me thinking that it might be possible on this phone as well

Some AT&T phones, including the Skyrocket, Galaxy Note, and others have been known to have some bands "hidden" - supported in hardware, but not in software. I know people have gotten the AWS band working on these phones by flashing different radios.
This has not been found to be the case with the One X, so far.

yeah I guess you are right, there are instances where it momentarily connects to 900mhz but then drops to something else. It is a AT&T htc one X that I acquired cheaply btw.
i'll probably be selling it off, a severe lack of microSD card slot is honestly a real dealbreaker
