Wat is a radio upgrade??

Hi to all, sorry for this question but i noobie here, im trying to understand what is a radio upgrade?, i get a qtek 9000 and its only triband 900/1900/1800 and here where i live i need 850, i was wondering if a radio upgrade will solve my problem? it add a 850 band? thx and sorry my bad english

Radio upgrades can give you a better signal (atleast that's what they are suppose to do ). But it will not turn a tri-band phone into a quad-band phone.

UMTS/HSDPA radio bands

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

[Q] About AWS-1 and Acer Z130

Hi everybody
I bought an ACER Z3 (Z130) in France. Very nice and simple device. I like it and i use it for Internet & mail with my provider SOSH (Orange F) without problem.
On 14th october, i'll leave France to Canada for 1 year and i want to keep my cellphone.
I searched a Canadian cellphone provider in Edmonton, AB.
I found Roger, Telus, Bell .... Cellphone plans are very expensive in North America than Europe ! (~$CA 40 for 150min, 200Mb 0_o)
And ... I found "Mobilicity" and "Wind mobile" ! That's good ! Cheap and unlimited Internet plan without time engagement.
But, i read that you have to get an AWS-1 compatible devise.
My Z130 is worked on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz Band and UMTS 900/2100 MHz band.
Unfortunately, Devise have to work on UMTS 1700 and 2100Mhz to work on this type of network.
My question is : Is it possible to update my cellphone to work on this AWS band by a software ? An another ROM ? Or it's impossible due to hardware question ?
Thank you for any information you can give me.
Sincerely
Tyto~
NB: Sorry for my "basic" English ^^

[Q] Question about the base bands on the MI4

Hi there
i just found out that the LTE version of the Mi4 i bought was the TDD (chinese versio) and out side of china it is locked to the
2g so no data speed to speak of.
My question is there any way to unlock the basebands for the phone so that it will work better in Europe ie sweden so i can get a bit better
speed out of the phone other than .28mbps
many thanks for your time peeps

Help! Want to know if my OPO has the lte 2 band

Hello guys I'm sorry if this is a noob question but I'm worried about it.
This is the story I'm not a noob in the Android world actually but I had this problem
I've got a unlimited data plan on my company here in Ecuador (movistar).
Movistar is starting to provide lte (yeah I know we're so behind the first world) BUT they said that it will come through the LTE 2 BAND wich is 1900 mhz and I was looking and my OPO doesn't have it.
I was reading that there is a procedure to unlock the unavailable bands but I doesn't know if this actually could work.
Please guys can you tell me if this procedure works or if the phone actually has this particular lte 2 band.
Thanks in advance for your responses, and forgive me if this post bother you.
Also sorry for my bad English.
