Hello,
I recently bought a Goophone X1 from Android-Sale.
I've got a problem with 3G connection. According to specifications, it should be compatible with WCDMA frequencies.
But when I put my sim card to slot 1, I can only choose TD-SCDMA mode. When putting it to slot 2, I can choose WCDMA but there's still no 3G (I think slot 2 is only 2G).
When going to engineer menu, I see that WCDMA frequencies are checked for SIM1 when 3G is enabled on SIM2, which is really useless. When 3G is enabled on SIM1, it changes to TD-SCDMA.
I don't know how to enable 3G on this phone. It seems to be a limitation of the ROM (or baseband ?).
Have you got any idea ?
Thank you.
I want to know too
I picked up a GooPhone X1 too, but it doesn't even recognize either SIM card slot. Email support claimed that their phones are incompatible with T-Mobile SIM cards, but I think what he meant was that only pentaband phones can access the 1700 MHz frequency that T-Mobile uses to transmit 3G and 4G data. Otherwise you are limited to 2G data.
And unfortunately, it looks like my phone is just broken.

same here.
Very odd , isnt it!
Its a new phone and I suspect we will be waiting a while until a rom with the proper activation of non chinese radio bands appears.
The hardware is obviously capable.
If someone has a stand alone MTK 6589 radio for another similar phone, it might be worth trying to flash the radio alone

You can try engineering mode either via mobile uncle mtk tool from google play store
or you can access it by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*
There are a lot of options to thinker with the GSM modem .
I have a x1.. I cant remember my password so cant acess anything!! Please help.. its ok if hard reset but I want the phone working!!! It refuses to go into cwm if I press the vol+ & power button! Please post adb drivers to use fladhtool

Hi all, did anyone successfully enable (switch) the WCDMA frequency on a TD-SCDMA phone through hahomir4ev's method???
Any suggestion would be helpful!!!

good morning ,
i bought htc touch pro unlocked and i inserted my AT&T but i cants see 3G in my phone and i just see E (EDGE)
i dont know why my phone support 3g bands
i have rom sense
pleeeeeeeeeeees help
and i tried my sim card into blackberry and its shows 3G
I HAVE unlimited data plane
3G doesnt work in my htc touch pro
Hi,
I had the same problem in the beginning. The simple solution: I still had an "old" SIM card, which was not capable of 3G. A simple request to my provider, and he sent me a new one (same tel number, no contract change / renewal) at no cost.
Regards,

thank u but my sim card is 3g , i tried it into blackberry and it shows 3g
maybe this will help
go to start > settings > phone
then click on BAND tab and make sure the network type is set to WCDMA and the second drop down box has AUTO selected.
and press ok.
The phone should now look for the 3G network. Make sure you rem that if you are not in 3G network, your phone wont auto shift to Edge network, you would have to go back to the top steps and select GSM instead of WCDMA.
Hope this helps. If this doesn't work I bel there's some prob in the hardware or sim or the damn network itself !!!
I have the same issue
I have the same problem and i've tried radio 1.14.25.35 for at&t and with the same version for the rilphone.dll. i did find out that the version of the phone i have may be an issue. Raph100 (under the battery) EU 07/09/08 REV.EU01 (bottom left corner) under battery cover. I tried enabling hsdpa and hsupa. no help. i am using Energy.RAPHAEL.23563.Sense2.5.GTX.Themed.Apr.24 ROM. and i max at 50 kbps.
i did find some references with the phone:

I have same phone, can't make it connect to 3g. It just connect me to EDGE.
What country are you?
I'm in Mexico, and the 3 serv. providers uses 3g on the 850/1900 bands. I've tried the obious , correct sim slot, correct apn config., entered to engineering mode and tried forcing it use the 850 band, but havent had luck with it, no 3g connection.
I've been desperate because i depend alot of data service.
Can you share your experience.
Thanks.
Hello,
I am looking for a phone that supports dual WCDMA. Currently my "HTC Desire 600 dual sim" provides WCDMA only on SIM1.
The SIM2 is simply GSM.
I wish a phone where also the SIM2 offers WCDMA.
Background:
due to frequent traveling in 2 countries I am using SIM1 or SIM2 respectively.
On Country1 I have Internet using SIM1, but when residing in Country2 I need to turn ON Data-roaming (of SIM1) , or interchange SIM2 into SIM1's port (WCDMA) so that SIM2 will have Access to Internet.
This is really annoying.
Any Ideas?
Thx
PS: Sorry for duplicates, I opened this thread allthough I searched and found another similar question in this Forum, dated from last year.
That question was however not answered.

i don´t no if are any phone with 2 WCDMA
lg phones have the option for wcdma on both sim settings.. you can select any one sim as 3g but other sim has to be on 2g (without removing sims out of slots).. i have used e445/e715.. do check on specific model but most probably lg must be having that on all models..

That's a good hint with LG. Manually switching forth and back to WCDMA, but without need to interchange the sims, is something I can live with.
Thx !
Having received the S8 from Gearbest , and inserting a new Mintsim sim card I have been unable to get a data connection using the current MintSim APN settings. I am not a real phone teckie but I almost believe there are no options to make (via engineering mode) changes to get the phone compatible with U.S. carriers. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Not sure if updating the modem.img is an option. I don't see too many US carrier phones using the MTK6750T processor. I just get 2g edge on t-mobile. Not a bad phone if I could get 4g.

I have considered buying one of these phone's myself as it does look rather nice
This phone supports bands
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz
4G: FDD-LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz
AT&T vs T-Mobile (Mintsim)
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1069631
There is a comment about the Doogee Mix 2 regarding support on the at&t link which shares the same bands.
I do not live in the USA so cant really comment too much about what does and does not work.
Hi
Maybe you can help me.
I used my M808 2 years. In 2 days i can't call and sms and don't have internet when i have 3G or 4G. When i force 2G i can call and sms. In 3G i can see range but i cant call to anybody.
Do you have idea how i can fix it?
I done hard reset and nothing, I try my SIM card in other smartphone and there i had 4G ok.
Will Change rom help?

This could be caused by a few things.
1. Hardware fault.
2. Your carrier (SIM Provider) switched to a none supported band or bands. The M808 does not support LTE band 20 (800mhz) which is common in Europe
Supported Network Bands:
(2G) GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
(3G) WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
(4G) FDD-LTE B1/B3/B7/B8/B28
3. APN settings although this would not affect voice calls
4. Your carrier Decided to block your phone by IMEI from using anything other than 2G and yes they do sometimes do this O2 did it to me some years ago now with absolutely no warning or reason given so I will never ever use them again the arrogant s****
5. Duplicate IMEI someone is using a phone with the same IMEI as yours on the same network. This can cause all kinds of strange stuff to happen. Again happened to me when I restored the incorrect backup. Both mine and my sons phone ended up with the same IMEI . It took ages to work out what was going on with that one
I would suggest you first try another sim card from another provider that use's the supported bands for 4G (3UK) if in the UK it used to work fine on my Old M808.
I done some tests.
I put my sim card to other phone - everything is ok.
I put other provider sim card to my phone - only 2G is working properly.
I done flashing - no improvement.
Im afraid hardware fault.
Any more sugestions?
