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
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if the Nexus S that will be released in South Korea this March, is a CDMA phone or is it a GSM phone.
I guess it will be CDMA since most of the Korean service providers use the CDMA network.
Secondly, I am thinking of getting the Nexus S, but I would like to take it back to South Africa with me when I finally leave Korea.
South Africa mostly uses GSM and 3G networks. Would I be able to use this phone there if I get it unlocked and get a new SIM card?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You'd have to find out whether the nexus s released in your country has a GSM or CDMA radio. If it doesn't that respective radio, it won't work even if it's unlocked.
You can probably find this info when it's actually released in your country.
Hi guys,
First of all my apologies if I couldn't find this question in the current forums. I'm the proud owner of my imported Motorola XOOM 3G 32GB from USA to The Netherlands, and I started reading a lot in the XOOM section of XDA-Devs (already have a HTC HD2 with Android so already got a lot of Droid experience).
I've already rooted (& unlocked??) my XOOM with 1-Click Root & Unlock, but when I plug in my T-Mobile Netherlands SIM card, the tablet keeps hanging on 'Activating your XOOM..' (or something). Why is it called 1-Click Root & Unlock but it doesn't unlock my XOOM? Is it just for USA cellular?
I've also red a lot about the fact that they use other hardware in the USA for 3G data than in de EU (EV-GE(?) vs HSDPA), is this the reason why I can't use my 3G function in European Union? I don't hope so because when that's true, I purchased about 200 euro more on a 3G function which actually don't work here.
Please let me know if it's possible to use the 3G, or tell me the hard and painfull truth that it's not going to work in EUROPE ?
Any h4cks or something would be great!
Let me know and best wishes from the land of wooden shoes, The Netherlands.
Max.
Pretty sure your trying to activate a Verizon 3G version (cdma) on a uk 3G network (gsm). Not possible...at all...period...

ok here it goes....i recently bought some cdma phones from us,i wasn't familiar with cdma and didn't know that they don't use sim cards( im a noob i know that).
i bought 5pcs htc evo 4g,4pcs motorola droid a855,3pcs htc droid incredible,2pcs motorola droid x.
i live in uk and there is no cdma network here but there is still hope as my mom is romanian and i found out that there is a cdma network there but uses 450mhz...my question is: will these phones work on that network or will i have to sell them back in us?
please help me as i spent a lot of money on these phones and im getting desperate,i hope i didn't waste my money on mp3 players with cameras.
this is the network
Zapp Mobile is the first CDMA mobile phone operator in Romania, since the country's market leaders use GSM. Overall, Zapp is the fifth largest network operator in the country and the 4th mobile operator. Zapp has around 500,000 subscribers, giving the CDMA network around 2% market share. It is also the only EV-DO mobile data operator in Romania

hey man the us does not have any carrier that supports 450 mhz there all overseas

Hey guys, i would like to buy an one s the next days but i have an important question, since the c2 [s3 processor] will be the only one sold in the future in some european/asian countries (not in mine, just s4 here):
whats with CDMA / GSM? i read that t-mobile us has gsm phones but does that mean that the one s is only sold in the gsm version?
i am just asking because i don't want a phone without "enough" custom roms in the future, because there will be some for the c2 version only and if there are a lot for cdma only it won't be much for a european s4 gsm version.
thanks!

CDMA and GSM are different ways of transmitting radio (cell phone) waves.
In the U.S., to my knowledge, only Verizon uses CDMA. All other carries use GSM and most international carriers also use GSM. If you buy the phone from T-Mobile US, you can only buy the GSM version. If you buy it from Verizon, you can only get the CDMA version (this assumes Verizon actually sold the One S). I'm not sure about international carriers, but I would expect that most operate the same way. It would not be smart for a carrier to build out both CDMA and GSM networks due to the expense involved.
No matter where you get it or which SoC it has, S3 or S4, it will be GSM.
Thanks for your answers but it is too late, no one s from tmobile left in Vienna, they say one month... but I'm sure then they will get only c2...

Verizon and Sprint are CDMA. T-Mobile and AT&T are GSM. By extension, Virgin and Boost are CDMA since they piggy back of off Sprint here. We also have regional carriers like MetroPCS and Cricket kthat are CDMA. IIRC, T-Mobile US phones are better than AT&T phones with international compatibility.
