Hello,
Not sure if this in an answerable question, but here it goes.
Which is the most recommended Radio for my Provider, ICE in Costa Rica? They work over 1800mhz on 2G and 850mhz on HSPDA/3G, as far as I know is very similar to Bell Canada or AT&T in the states.
If someone knows the answer I would like to know as well the most recommended RIL.
I understand that the appropriate combination would give best signal strength results and better battery consumption.
Thanks in advance to anyone checking this post.

Hi,
The best radio, is the one that works.
How does the radio work that is installed in your phone right now?
If there is a problem with reception, then think about changing it.
There is a radio thread and a ril thread.
Only go there if you need to.

Is the HTC Touch Pro able to work on U.S 3G band , if not is there a radio patch that will activate the U.S band on the device. Please help.
This is a very hot topic on this forum but so far from what i've been able to see none of the radios have enabled 3G. This is not to say that 3G isn't supported by the hardware although its looking pretty grim. It appears that the ELITE team is working on this since they just released Hardspl

We shall see what happens, although the bands are available in the "band" settings tab so it MAY be a radio issue.
Bit early to know yet, as there is only one user here so far who has hold of an AT&T Fuze (RAPH11000) we dont have a huge ammount of detail yet.
Both the newer 1.02.25.31 and 1.02.25.19 radios seem to have similar protocols (same QCT_BOOT and HTC_BOOT), it would be good if any user could flash the (apparently) older 1.02.25.11 radio and see if it does anything?
I really wish i could help out on this 3G front but no 3G in my area...
I can help...

I have the 1.02.25.19 radio here in Chicago. I know I have good 3G coverage from my TyTN II that I had previously. But why would you think the OLDER radio (1.02.25.11) would have U.S. 3G? ...jus curious.

I've installed the radio 1.02.25.11 and no luck with 3G in US ATT. only edge support.

I tried all the radios listed on the wiki too. None of them worked with 3G.

Its bundled with the AT&T ROM which is currently on the AT&T Fuze devices people are testing.
Higher radio version number doesnt necessarily mean a better one, as veterans of the Hermes will verify
The overseas Touch Pro cannot get 3G in the US. Just like the Diamond, the Touch Pro from overseas (RAPH100) does not have a WCDMA 850 radio.
Flash all the radios you guys want... it's not going to get you 3G on the 850 band. You'll have to wait for the US version/ATT Fuze if you're in the US and want 3G data.
Anyone know when AT&T sould release US version/ATT Fuze?

Until we have tested newer ROMs and radios that statement is pure speculation. MANY devices have had missing bands and etc...but have had them unlocked in ROM and Radio updates so it is too early to be writing off 3G support yet.
I have a TouchPro coming tomorrow. I called HTC today and (although I have about as much confidence in this as the paper I wrote this on) I was told by a lower level tech (I think he knew what I was talking about) that a "software" upgrade would allow for the European 3G enabled device to work in the US for 3G
... I sure hope so since I forked out the cash today
The Treo 750 didn't even start out 3G capable at all and was made 3G able with a ROM upgrade
Hoping
Hardware
Maybe a very stupid question, but what about openning up an eu version to see if the quad radio hardware is there? I would assume the radio chipset would be labeled and numbered so that we would know once and for all.

I sure hope that the HTC tech guy knew what he was talking about! Im want to know before 9/17 so i can either pre order the HTC dream with t-mo (current provider) or switch over to AT&T so i can (hopefully) use 3G with my touch pro
Don't take this the wrong way...

I thought about this but cracking open a 900 dollar device and completely voiding the warranty really isn't worth it. If someone can get schematic from HTC which i doubt we could see if the hardware is installed.

I believe there is an asian hardware version, this is what the HTC techs keep mentioning that might have the 850 3G radio.
I have a case into HTC support asking them to answer the question for me around if the radio is hardware capable of 3G in the US and explained what bands I was talking about and that it was in the software to enable those. I Posed the question as if I was unhappy that I was selecting these bands and it wasnt working to try to get an answer out of them will report back when I am answered one way or another.

Just so you know - I sent a similar email to them regarding the 850 band on the Diamond and I was sent a very nice response informing me that the phone I purchased was not intended for the US and did not have the hardware capability to be used on ATT in the US. Low and behold the xda developers made the 850 band work. Now HTC offers a rom upgrade opening the 850 band they said was not in phone. Unfortunately the response you get will not be the definitive answer.

I understand yours and others' reasons for not believing me or assuming it's speculation. All I can say is there will be a lot of effort put forth for no reason, just like with the DIAM100, only to confim that the hardware everyone is trying to unlock isn't even there. If the efforts put forth do nothing more than prove the above to be true, then at the very least people can rest more easily with full confirmation.
Hi,
I flush my VF magic with 2.22.19.23I and I think he has a problem with 3g networks (somehow)
anyway, can anyone pls provide a link with the 2.22.19.26I Radio version for Magic?
btw, why does Nandroid won't backup the radio image?
Thx
anyone? someone?

I guess that the official one from htc web page for the Ion would be enough.
The hardware should be the same as the vodafone one.

thx,
but google ion is for t-mobile network is it?
i mean, he uses 1700/2100 MHz and not the "regular" 900/1800
will it be ok to use this?
ups, you are absolutely true. I didn't even look at the bands, just focused in the platform.
Sorry for that huge mistake. I would feel really awful if i would have screwed your device by accident.

see now theres your biggest problem. every country besides the US and Canada uses the 900/2100 combination and technically the tmobile US UMTS band is more like 2050
First thing - no phone was harm
About the freq. - r u sure about the numbers? I got UK VF and it works in my country (Israel) w/o any problem (the issue with the 3G was apn settings only)
I think my carrier is 800/1900

Thx!
The freq of T-Mobile in myTouch are the same as the Nokia 5800 that are sold here in israel
so... i would be able to use the ota radio updates US phones will get
Local network here just launched '21Mbps 3G USB modem'.
The modem is a Huawei E8120 with the network specs attached.
I see HSPA+ in there, but want to know if I can get my Sensation doing some higher speeds like this modem. I'm stuck on class 10 HSDPA for now, and its SLOW!.
Any help apperciated. Willing to try new RUUs etc as they may be configured for this network.
The best the Sensation can do is 14.4 Mbps.
I thought the hardware inside Sensations and Sensation 4G was identical? Can I tweak my build.prop or radio/RIL to get on this super fast network that seems to be only for users on this HSPA+ 3G modem. Sure its possible!

They both can only do 14.4 Mbps.
Don't they have the 1700/2100 HSPA/AWS radios to handle the higher speed? I ALWAYS thought so, but was only officially done on TMOBILE roms. Or maybe I'm just confused. Anyone else?

Yeah, they both have the 1700 and 2100 MHz bands. I think it depends on your carrier on what category of speed is enabled on your phone.

Haha sorry, someone else had a similar issue and ended up buying the T-Mobile version of the handset. You might want to try flashing a T-Mobile radio or something.
Anybody? Devs is this possible?
Although there are multiple threads regarding the radios that can be flashed to modify the i727R to work on the aws frequencies, I've been having a hard time finding the right combination of kernel, radio and ROM to get my GS2 to work on mobilicity
I would really appreciate if you could post the following if you have your phone working on AWS

Thank you for your input
Wrong thread to post this. Need to be in the Q and A section. Soon to be closed and u will probably be flamed a little before hand. Good luck.

Bro gonna says this real nice Google is your friend. took me 2 seconds to find the answer don't be lazy search!!! here is your answer:
Mobilicity is running a 3G AWS HSPA+ network.
Meaning only 3G phones with AWS frequency bands will work on their network.
Rogers is using AWS for a 4G LTE network.
Yes, the same frequency bands, but it different technology all together.
It will not work.

No need to flame, but Rotary Parts, before u call out others always make completely sure you are correct, or like in this case, end up looking uninformed.
Skyrocket is one of the first android smartphones released with a pentaband radio that was lte capable. In essence, this means that it will function on any gsm network worldwide, assuming u have the correct radio firmware installed.
OP, kernel/rom/radio combo doesnt matter. As long as u have them all gb based, or all ics based, they should work no problem.
Just make sure u flash in this order
1) Rom
2) Kernel
3) Radio
if i flash the newest cyanogenmod on my skyrocket, is there a matching kernel i need to flash on it after? I flashed cyanogenmod and then the radio and for some reason on wind mobile i can hear incoming audio, but outgoing audio to the recipient is all garbled up. I've tried just about every radio i can find and none seem to work.
Hey guys, here's some possibily stupid question. I have a brazilian P920H and my 3G carrier operates at 850MHz where I live.
That being said, there's simply no way that any P920 firmware will get 3G network on my phone, but all GB options I have available are haunted by some ghosts... I'm stuck at froyo for the time being.
It is known that the european basebands works with P920H, only lacking support for some especific frequencies (including WCDMA 850MHz), but is there a way to add this frequencies to the basebands of the GBs that are free of ghost calls? I simply don't know anything about programming, so my question can be dumb as hell, but I guess it won't hurt to ask, right? =D
Maybe there's just some stupid file saying wich frequencies the radio can try to operate, or maybe there's a whole bunch of code for each frequency. I simply don't have a clue, so I awayt for the expert's answers.
Thanks.
