Hi, just looking for make a phone upgrade i live in Venezuela and my phone company, DIGITEL, just begin to use LTE network in 1800Mhz band, GSM 900 3G UMTS/HSDPA, They sell the SAMSUNG S4 I9505 , but i want to buy a NOKIA 1020 or 1520 but there is some information that i wish to clarify first. NOKIA specify the LTE band network as 2, 3,4,5,7,17.... etc and honestly i don't understand this nomenclature. Can somebody help me to understand this and if the LUMIA 1020 or 1520 can work as S4 i9505 in 1800Mhz?
Thx
hi,
nokia uses band classes to spicify his lte support:
BC1, LTE Band 1 or Class 1: Used in Asian countries like Japón, and South Corea del Sur. LTE on 2100MHz
BC2, LTE Band 2: U.S. Cellular carrier, secondary band (carrier CDMA), LTE 1900MHz
BC3: (LTE 1800MHZ) used in Australia and Europe (UK, Finland, Germany,...)
En América Latina, al parecer en Venezuela el operador Digitel va a desplegar su red LTE en BC3.
BC4, or LTE AWS: AWS-1, 1700MHz for upload and 2100MHz for download.
used mainly in Canadá, some carriers in U.S.A., Telcel México, de varios carriers más en América Latina
BC5, LTE Band 5 : (LTE en 850MHz)
BC6, LTE Band 6: Japan LTE en 800MHz)
BC7, LTE Band 7:Europa and Australia (LTE a 2600MHz ó 2.6GHz);
BC10, LTE Band 10 ó Class 10: similar to BC4 1700/2100;
BC12, LTE Band 12 ó Class 12: 700MHz)
BC13, LTE Band 13 ó Class 13: LTE en 700MHz)
BC17, LTE Band 17 ó Class 17: LTE en 700MHz
Other bands are: BC8 (LTE en 900MHz próximamente en Europa, Japón, américa Latina), BC9 (LTE en 1700/1800), BC14 (otra banda LTE en 700MHz para E.U.A. aún no explotada)
Sorry but can't post external links, hope this helps. I was tired of translating hope you undersatand spanish.

any chance of 3g in other frequences?
is software error or the hardware no have support
in brazil i use 850mhz, Vivo operetor
i can buy this device but without 3g in 850Mhz i no will buy
if have chance of the developpers resolv this issue in future, i will buy
The 3G chipset I believe is actually a 3.5G chipset which runs on its own separate dual band (I think 1700/2100 or something around there). As far as I know the hardware doesn't support quad-band 3G and if it does there's no driver that tells the OS to do 3G over standard quad-band.
Not gonna happen with the G1.
Ya 3G is a different frequency. In general T-Mo is 1900 and ATT is 850 (standard gprs 2g networks), but 3G is a total diff frequency as Ron said. Almost everyone uses 2100 with Japan or something being 1700 far a I know.
Oi,
Infelizmente isso não vai funcionar. O G1 pode usar somente 1700mhz e 2100mhz. Isso é uma questão de hardware e não software. Sim que as companhias vão lançar celulares com Android e 850mhz, mas neste momento ainda não.
Desculpe que é uma má noticia!

Hi,
Unfortunately it won't work. The G1 only supports the 1700mhz and 2100mhz bands, and it is because of the hardware, not the software. There will be handsets with Android and 850mhz 3G support, but as of yet none have been released.
Sorry for the bad news
Tommy
The G1 only supports 1700 and 2100 unfortunately. T-Mobile is the freak network in the freak network country. The US doesn't use normal 2100 bands like Europe and Japan but AT&T uses 1900, 850, and one more that slips my mind. The G1 won't work on those networks unfortunately (I'm not AT&T and not having 3G sucks) but it is still an amazing phone even on EDGE although I still keep my iPhone handy to switch sims in case I need 3G for tethering and such. My advice, if you want the G1 and already have a 3G phone, buy the G1 and keep the old one if you need it sometime. Otherwise buy a phone that has the 3G you want/need.
helo to everybody i'm realy new here and i want to know which frecuency this device support for 3G in gsmarena say that is 900/1900/2100 and the box say that is 1900/1700/2100.
i have a sensation 4g form t-mobile with the same frecuency in the box 1900/1700/2100 and it work with orange dominican 900mhz 3g frecuency.
for me th real frecuency is 900/1700/2100.
US T-mobile Frequency Specs
here is the T-mobile US specs for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus:
Band (frequency):
850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS/HSPA+: AWS Band IV / 2100 / 1900 / 850
Greetings,
I am in Panama (Central America) and we now have 4G LTE APT 700Mhz (Band 28). I have a Nexus 5 D820. Is there a way to activate band 28?
Que va. Vas a tener que vender ese teléfono y conseguirte uno con LTE de Banda 28
Nexus 5 D820 can use LTE in Panama with Band 2 with 1900 Mhz

With Claro Panama I just activated LTE today on band 2 with 1900 Mhz. You can also activate phones on Band 28 with 700 Mhz. Both are fine for LTE service with them.

I tried but couldn't get LTE working on Claro on prepaid. I switched to +Movil, which has excellent 700Mhz coverage, and haven't looked back.
Hi all, I just realized I made a mistake when buying a smartphone abroad. I got a MotoE 2nd gen XT 1524.
This are the bands that work in my country:
2G: 850 / 1900
3G: 850 / 1900
4G: Banda 4 (AWS, 1700, 1700/2100*) / Banda 28 (APT700, 700 MHz**)
And these are the bands my phone has:
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 20(800) – XT1524
HSDPA 900 / 2100 – XT1524
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 – all versions
I know, I'm in trouble. But my question is... can I try something before starting to cry? :crying:
(BTW, I'm suuuuuuuuuuuper begginer, it's my first real smartphone, I had a feature phone before this one)
Thanks!
Hello!
I had a simillar problem with the XT1524. I also live in Argentina.
The XT model is international, so at a hardware level you have all the bands, but it is limited by the software.
The solution is (tranks to JasonPro11):
1. Download "4G LTE Switch" from PlayStore.
2. Run the app (does not require special permissions).
3. Go to "Set preferred network type” and choose LTE/GSM.
4. In the upper corner go to "Set Radio Band" and choose "USA Band".
5. Restart and enjoy LTE and 3G in Argentina...
I´ve also published this post in Grupo Android (spanish version).

Fernando
I saw that you can pre-order the Ultra 3 on Amazon.fr and Amazon.de. This must be the EU model. Releasedate on Amazon.de is 28 december.
EU modelnumber:
White: 90AK0012-M00420
Gray: 90AK0011-M00400
Pink: 90AK0013-M00410
really interested to see if this model will have different LTE bands than the Asian counter part.

yes, this might be great news, or a great disappointment. let's hope for good news!
GSMArena doesn't seem to list the bands: http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_3_ultra_zu680kl-8130.php
An online shop (which I don't fully trust, so I won't give a link to eglobal) suggests 4G on
700MHZ 700MHZ
(B20) 800MHZ (B20) 800MHZ
850MHZ 850MHZ
900MHZ 900MHZ
1800MHZ 1800MHZ
2100MHZ 2100MHZ
2300MHZ 2300MHZ
2600MHZ 2600MHZ
which in theory covers some UK carriers (officially 800 and 2600, but some are using 1800)... but as I say, I don't trust them.
the 3G bands listed are these
800MHZ 800MHZ
850MHZ 850MHZ
900MHZ 900MHZ
1900MHZ 1900MHZ
2100MHZ 2100MHZ
which omits 1800, which is odd. I'd have thought that these phones would be multimode and be able to run 4g or 3g on a common set of bands.

I can't find the phone on amazon.de any more. I wonder if they pulled the listing after mistakenly posting it? It's still on .fr, is eur650, which US$680 or GB£555.
That makes it quite a premium. I've seen it as little as £410 elsewhere, but that would be an import.
doesn't appear to be on amazon.es either.
I just noticed that WondaMobile now list this phone, and I trust them a little more to get the tech specs right
2G BANDS GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G BANDS HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 / 800
4G BANDS LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 18(800), 19(800), 20(800), 26(850), 28(700), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500)

if only it was possible to get permanent root, and as a bonus an unlockable bootloader, I'd have bought one!
