Trying to find out if AWS (1700/2100) frequencies are disabled or non-existant in the XMM 6260 chipset found in my 925G.
I have been posting this question left and right with no success, but I think it does diserve a thread.
Is it possible that the various 920s and 925s O3D out there are using the same base reference design, using the same RF and RADIO ICs except frequencies are being selectively enabled/disabled at the chip level?
In today's IC production world, its cheaper to disable hardware than to build different itterations that requires going through certifications and whatnot... so I'm wondering if this theory couldn't apply on this phone?
I got mine for 300$ and I am seriously pissed having to buy a AWS-enabled version for 500+$, even more if I find out the hardware supports it and a "simple" radio flash could enable this....
Lots of Programmers here but unfortunately nobody seems to be able to answer that...

So I have my TC on order, cant wait! I have been reading every bit of information on the web about the TC and I am receiving conflicting reports. Some say the phone is HSUPA compatible and some say its not, and some say it has the ability but HTC will have to "unlock" it. Does anyone know if this phone, as it ships, will be able to support HSUPA in the future?
Thanks in advance,
~Scott
In the internet i've read that the Qualcomm MSM7200 supports HSUPA... I think that a driver or anything else could solve the problem...
Like the driver for SD 2.0 problems of other devices..
It will be interesting to see if HTC releases an update to enable HSUPA in light of the recent ruling against Qualcomm. I really hope they do. I can see myself keeping the TC for a while and it would suck if another HSUPA device lures me away. hehe..
msm7200 chipset support hsupa/hsdpa up to 7.2 mbit/s .
hope that a future radio firmware update will activate full functionality of the chipset...
I've read that HSDPA Standard is up to 15 MBit/s yet. But i don't really know it. It stands in an IT-Book
Is it possible to create an iphone app emulator for android?

everything is possible
Not this, don't believe what your mom told you when you were five.
Its possible to emulate an Iphone OS on Linux so how can u say its not possible? It is! But i think to heavy for this "little" community ;-)
Edit:
Iphone OS on Android Phone
Zitat von Autarkis
You would need further:
* exact type of processor: type, version, frequency
* exact type of GSM hardware, including version and subversion PLUS an appropriate radio flash or source therof or something making the Radio stuff work
* architecture of memory / flash
* chip and version of the USB subsystem: EHCI, OHCI or UHCI ?
* video chip: type, architecture, speed, version
* chip and version of the WiFi subsystem PLUS the orginal manufacturer's firmware
* sound chip: type, version - how does it interact with the GSM Radio subsystem?
... and so on, and so on. It would be nice to have a test cell tower simulator. But then, who would'nt like to have one?
Once you get this data (it's probably easiest to get an original schematic - from the manufacturer or from somewhere else), you can check each of the hardware components if they're supported in Android, if not, if they are supported in Linux. If not, you might be able to code them yourself.
Brace yourself. This will be a project using up about 1-5 man-years (and I'm talking about 5 days / wk, 8-hour days, not 1-3 evenings a week) depending on the amount of hardware support that already exists. Furthermore, it will be beyond a lot of peoples abilities (including mine) to assist you in any way. This is one hell of a tough job you're facing (barring the magical event that the phone accidentally is virtually a G1 clone. ).
I guess what I'm saying is: It's not worth the trouble. Once you've done all this, Android 5.0 will be running World of Warcraft II
I am looking to possibly acquire an Android handset to replace my Motorola featurephone and I want something I can play with and hack.
Specs I need:
1.UMTS 2100 and UMTS 900 as thats what my carrier uses.
2.Physical QWERTY keyboard
3.Good hardware specs
4.Readily available on the open market with no carrier lock and all features working including sideload, android market and tethering (I am in Australia if that makes a difference)
5.Running FroYo
6.Easily hackable, rootable and moddable.
I was considering the HTC DeeZire Z but with all the noise about how the G2/DeeZire Z has locks preventing you from changing the system files, it doesnt sound like the right phone (I want one that doesnt fight you every step of the way).
You might wanna shop around. I guess the best way is to find your preferred device/or device you think fits you well and check its development under Android Rom development, check issues being reported, see if you can live with em and make a decision surely noone will tell you mate buy this but you can easily find out all you need by asking device specific questions on the appropriate device thread. Hope that helps.
Motorola droid 2?
Sorry, if this is dumb. I clearly know little to nothing about this stuff, but I was wondering since the galaxy nexus and the galaxy core have such similar specs, if the kitkat-based CM rom that came out for the galaxy nexus would also work on the Galaxy Core...or is that completely not how it works? Any explanation would be much appreciated.
No absolutely not. Attempting to flash a rom which comes from a device different to your own, will typically always leave you with a soft-bricked device, if not a hard-bricked one.
Firstly, they have different chipsets. This means the kernel's are completely different.
Secondly, even for devices with the same chipset, and similar kernels this does not work. Each device has its little variations, screen type, camera type, etc. Thus, each device needs different proprietary drivers and code in the kernels in order to initialize those different parts of the device. Which is why xda has all of these device specific forums, even for such tiny differences as which carrier the phone is on. Because the kernels differ somewhat for initializing the radio aspect of the device, some carriers operate on cdma, others on gsm. Those networks each require different radio hardware. So unless the device is universal and has both gsm and cdma capabilities kernels will be different for the device's variations.
Anyways. Answer, no.
Hey all,
Preamble: I have a European bought Oculus Quest 2, and during my trip the US I bought the D-Link VR Air Bridge. To my dismay when I returned home I found out it only worked occasionally, due to it using U-NII-3 WiFi 6 frequencies which haven't been approved in Europe yet. However, the Quest 2 should still be able to pick them up - but is probably firmware/software limited.
My idea of a solution is asking a US friend with a Quest 2 for a rip of their relevant software/firmware, and enable these frequencies on my device.
My question is - what exactly do I need to rip out of their device (firmware, modems file, etc.) and how, and how can I flash it to mine? AFAIK the Quest 2 is just an Android device.
Thanks in advance!
Sadly, you can’t. In order to due any sort of firmware build changes or upgrade/downgrades/custom os/etc you have to have the bootloader unlocked.
Everything on the oculus platform (especially the standalone vr) is governed by a sort of “guardian/permission/spy type program. It has to approve any and all device function and requests and it totally locked off without having the bootloader unlocked.
Unfortunately a wild bootloader unlock is Mia. I’m sure someone managed it. But no one spoke up aside from a hoax.
Facebook did release firmware for the oculus go though once it came to the end of its production and sales cycle. This firmware was explicitly programmed with the bootloader auto unlocked. You can install whatever you want within limits if the arm chip on board.
I’m sure if you knew a little about hardware and software dev on the mobile sector, you maybe able to find a work around using the huewei models. Essentially HUAWEI deidtributes for Facebook overseas in some Asians markets to bysoass bans imolimented on Facebook by the countries. They are the exact same device. Same hardware. Different firmware. And most huwawei models have indeed been bootloader unlocked with reports of it being done asap before by tech support while on phone. So yea. It’s a rabbit hole. Good luck
As a workaround, try occur using something like virtual desktop. Super low latency. Make dang sure you are wired the entire way.
The. You can emulate whatever distro you want and view it in vr mode. I have done this with some steam games. Sometimes it works awesome. Some times it sucks utterly. But more often than not it surprises me with performance assuming you have a realivaly decent vr gaming setup (no a rx 589 or gtx 1650 or 1660 doesn’t cut it). I’m talking a ryzen 7 (preferably 9) paired with a rx5700 or higher for amd or ideally a 2060 super or higher for nvidia. Even at these specs, expect barely 50 fps
