problem with the universal in north america

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 because Im sure that by the time they make a north american universal it will be outdated anyway :roll: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....

Pimp my XDA integrated radio?

Hello,
is it possible to tune in frequences like 68 - 87,5 and 146 - 174 MHz with the radio of the xda orbit for example?
Greetz from Germany
thedänn

they are running 900Mhz 1800Mhz 1900Mhz
they could never be tuned that low
even if you could the thing only works with gsm signals
so no FM or dab could ever come out of it

okay thanks for your answer

Radio Version for Japanese Kaiser

Hi Guys
I'm over in the states doing some testing and my Japanese colleague is currently having poor audio using his TytnII/Kaiser. His current radio version is 1.27.12.11. Is there a specific radio version he has to use for it to be compatible in Japan?
I've only ever updated ROM's for TytnII's and Polaris's in the UK and Europe and no nothing about the GSM networks etc in Japan so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Tim

Japan has no 'GSM' networks. That said, I had great success with 1.27.12.32 on Softbank and DoCoMo over past Christmas. However his radio version and all radios should be compatible with Japan's 3G network which uses the same frequency WCDMA 2100MHz as UK/Europe.
I'm assuming your friend is not having problems with BT audio.

Thanks for the quick reply NuShrike, I've just realised what an idiot I am as my Polaris is working fine out here
Will flash with the same radio firmware as yourself. The only issue he is currently experiencing is poor audio through the rear speaker which I'm led to beleive can be resolved by upgrading the radio.
Many Thanks

np! For the rear speaker, he can maybe try some registry tweaks to increase the volume. Otherwise, it's a speaker on a phone, and I've haven't had superior experiences with such.

Does your colleague have a Japanese TytnII, called S11HT (emonster)? If so, it is better NOT TO FLASH any radio. Because, S11HT is tuned for 1.7GHz and 2.1GHz is blocked. 1.7GHz HSPDA is used only Japanese mobile phone company, e-mobile, in the world in my knowledge. This means other radios may not support 1.7Ghz and his S11HT is not able to use in Japan. He may be use GSM in other countries, however, There is no GSM network in Japan.

I've sinced found out that its a UK version that we sent him for testing, initial reports are that the audio quality has improved (no longer an intermittent crackle when using the rear speaker).
Cheers guys

Can some one make a NV-Item Dump?
I want know, if its only a NV-Item setting or not! Possible i can provide a Menual to enable this Frequency!

[Completed] hertz

Does radio frequency less than 1 hertz exist ?
If yes, where can i find cellphone with that built-in radio.
Or, if it is a radio device, where can i find it?

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Cell phone radio frequencies are in the MHz range. You aren't going to find anything at 1 Hz or less.
