the O1 has 900 / 2100 3G band stock.. is it possible in any shape or form to add a band to it? for example the 850mhz band?? can any developer take a look into this? im already assuming its hardware related but for the many transformations the O1 has gone through im not ruling it out as impossible just yet.. please have a look into it thanks..

Well it's impossible, as in totally. These bands are not like porting ICS over and i guess they may need a change in chipsets or whatever.

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.

im on 2g.. the problem im facing is that the network im on the 3G band is 850 n the O1 doesnt support that band for 3g..

thats wat i was thinking.. for example: the old motorola l7 stock was GPRS n with sum modifications was about to use EDGE.. the codes for the OS r different but what seemed impossible in the beginning turned out different after trying..
as Cresqo said, it cud b hardware depended n therefore would be impossible.. i personally have no experiencing where Android OS modding is concerned thats y im asking for advice here where experienced ppl are..
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.

I was looking into this not too long ago. See the third post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26608544
P500 uses WCDMA band 8, which is 880MHz - 915MHz. This is determined by hardware filters unfortunately.

Wats up with gsm 850 ? Is it like diamond or it is true quad band?

It has 850 but will not use the US 3G networks (set for ASIA/EUROPE) unless you get a US version (not out yet). So it's quad without 3G (you do get EDGE though)
so
so its quadband gsm and dual band hsdpa for euro/asia?
I think it does GSM850 but not UMTS850. Is this correct? Now, my question, is UTMS only used for data and GSM is used for voice? My immediate answer to this would be no, UTMS (W-CDMA) is used for both.
Yarr.. is this a hardware thing or a software thing?
Software

I think Software - I saw a registry edit in the tweak thread. need to go find it again
850 adding 850 GSM is a software tweak, adding the UMTS bands for the US is not (it lacks the hardware)
I really dont think they would have released this without the hardware. My gut tells me the US 3G will see the light of day...

I understand how to flash radios and roms, not so much of a noob. but maybe this is a noob question. I have brought a att locked phone, I unlocked it. I live in the dominican republic and i have a plan(contract) with the orange phone company here. I only get 2g speeds(edge) not even 3g because skyrocket uses the 850 mhz band and my phone company uses 900. I wanted to flash the i9100 radio/modem hopefully to be able to get 3g here. if someone have insight on my situation please let me know
I'm not really sure, but I am 100% positive you cannot flash any other radio except the skyrocket, t989, and note(be careful) radios, the skyrocket has different internals

thats why i asked, able to flash galaxys note radio wondering if the s2 i9100 could be flashed too. really need to get 3g speeds here and i love my skyrocket phone to much dont really want to sell it to buy another one
someone please help!
different internals, so no it just wouldnt work. the note they meant was the att note which also has an s3 not the international note which has an exynos like the i9100
---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------
im just wondering, why did u get a skyrocket to unlock instead of just getting the international unlocked sgs2 i9100?
Definitely do not flash an i9100 radio on the skyrocket.
You might want to try flashing a Rogers based rom and/or flashing the Rogers radio found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384865
Most of the Skyrocket radios are RAT locked, meaning you can't change it by dialing *#2263#. The Rogers one should work for you I think (but someone please correct me if I'm wrong... )
I brought the phone on craigslist and i read about the power and beauty of the phone and i fell in love with it, didnt forsee this problem. thought the minute i unlocked it i would get the data speeds minus the lte. i was wrong
flash the blaze 4G radio, i swear that uses the 900 frequency, or any other t989 radio for that matter. Most of those are RAT unlocked as well. Don't stress too much, the skyrocket has a penta-band radio that would do any world/touring phone proud
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
Those are the frequencies that are used for the sblaze and the t989. seems like i have no luck because i need it 900 for 3g. guess 2g is going to eventually kill me one day. thanks everyone who contributed to my search for answers. I appreciate it'
20 dollars paypall to anyone who can help me find a working solution
30 dollars?
Change your service!
come ooon! Orange LIE about supously 3g service and the maximum speed in orange is less 1 mega :-O I did test in all Dominican Republic and I think you are waste your time with that! I have a Skyrocket in Claro and I have a Blackberry pre paid service and I have 4 to 5 megas of speed! that rreally good! my modem RUXUMA 7 and my rom is Embryo 6.4

My unlocked T959V is working well on Bell Mobility (Canada) UMTS 850/1900 mhz only network. *#0011# indicates WCDMA 1900 Band 2 connections.
Will this phone with no WCDMA 850 mhz option not work at all on the 850 mhz only cell towers of my carrier?
If so, are there work arounds other than replacing the phone with one with UMTS 850/1900mhz support?
Toyed with the idea of trying to flash the modem with modem_I9000ugjl2.zip, but read this will not work and may brick it. Is this the case?
Thanks for any ideas.
If your phone is fine don't mess with it, especially if it's not a modem from our phone.. A tip... "If it's not broke, don't fix it. " If you feel a need to flash, report back-but it will be prob be from a computer..

My city coverage seems fine on only UMTS 1900. My concern is in the rural area where I vacation the cell towers have UMTS 850 only, so I guess my phone will not work at all, but will be trying it shortly.
Purchased a Jiayu g2 to play with so far the phone is very nice. It is suppose to work with 850/900/1900/2100mhz wcdma however I cannot get it to work on 3g with att I only get edge and have tried just about every apn setting I can. Does anyone else in the US have this phone working on 3g? I have it rooted. Funny never thought I would say this but it is a very nice phone.

A lot of these Chinese phones state they're quadband GSM, but only have 2100 for 3G. Correct me if I am wrong.
Also, do you accidentally have GSM Only set?

here is the link for google translate.

this is the manufactures website and in the product parameters tab it shows 850/900/1900/2100 wcdma 3g and even in the engineermode menu it has them listed. i only paid 160 for it but to be honest it is a real nice phone and i was completely shocked at how well it was constructed. i even have it rooted. if there is anyone else out there that has this phone in the US or anywhere i would be interested to find out what bands you are on.
Take a look at the specshere
It shows 2100MHz for 3G
Don't be fooled by Engineering mode. It may show the options for specific MHz, but if the phone doesn't support it then the options pointless and misleading.

i hear what you are saying. but the fact that the manufacture website shows the bands. i understand that the selling sites are all diff some show 2100 some show 850/2100. but for 160 it was worth a shot.
So no one else in north America has this phone?
Hi,
I have heard that MTK6575 SoC does support 3G on 850MHz/1900MHz. Two things might prevent it from working.
1. Your cellular provider maynot be providing 3G on both 850 and 1900 where you live. It could just be on 1900MHz where you live. Could you go to some other part of the city and test it?
2. I have read that the antennae required for 850/1900MHz is different from 2100MHz. So, even if the SoC supports it, the signal strength is not strong enough to make it work.
I would be very interested in your test results since I am thinking of buying one.

Hi! Did you insert your 3G SIM on the SIM 1 slot? It is the only SIM slot capable of 3G (WCDMA). There are two slots in Jiayu G2 and only SIM 1 will work with 3G. SIM 2 is for GSM only.

Hello,
If my phone supports 2G's GSM 900 isn't it supposed to support also 3G's WCDMA 900 ?

Maybe, maybe not. You didn't say what device you have or what network your device is activated on, that can make a difference.

You're right, it's a LG (AT&T) Phoenix 2 K371 and from what i've read at Qualcomm's site i think i understood that it's modem supports it. I mean at least the antenna for the 900MHz is the same for GSM and WCDMA?
Thanks
