3G not working. Just GSM on CM7.1 or Defy+ ROM

Hi, I bought the defy about a month ago. I bought it in south america. I live in Italy, so, when I came back, and tried to connect with my phone to the 3g network it didn't, just the GSM (the little G on the top). I'm currently using CM 7.1, but with the Defy+ ROM it did the same. Now here's a strange thing: i searched over the internet and find out that with the Defy baseband I could change the band for the Italy one, but, I'm vodafone, and the network with Italia RT on the baseband says Emergency calls only. So I used the International RT, and it worked. I thought it may be the device, so I inserted a TIM chip, but now instead of GSM I get EDGE. WTF?
I know vodafone uses 900/1800/2100...any ideas? It is possible that because I bought it elsewhere I can not connect to 3g in europe?? (even if the defy's manual says it works on Quad band GSM with GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz in all regions)
Dual band UMTS with HSPA+/HSUPA (850/1700/2100 MHz in the USA, 900/2100 MHz in Europe, and 850/2100 MHz in Australia, New Zealand and Thailand)??
Thanks for the help!!
Please, help me get my 3G back!
No one can help me? Even a hint would be great.
Thanks

Use baseband switcher dude

As I said before: I used baseband switcher, but it doesn't change anything. I wonder if the 3G fixes on other forums are the same as baseband switcher

for 2G networks, Edge and GPRS are the data connections available.so G is for GPRS not GSM. E is for Edge (both E and G are GSM 2G). some networks have GPRS and Edge depending on the location, some only operate GRPS, it depends on the priority network planning etc..
when you tried different SIM cards you used different networks and thats why you have G or E, depends on whats available for that network in that location.
as for 3G, what country did you buy your Defy?
italy has : 900/1800 for GSM and 2100 for 3G/UMTS
south america:
-brazil has 2100 and other bands for 3G/UMTS depending on region/operator
-other countries in south america have no 2100 but only 850/900/1900
good article here on wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
sadly the 3G radios in most phones are carrying one and not all frequencies so your device is as small and cheap as possible.

Does that mean that even if I use baseband if my phone doesn't have the 2100 will not work in 3g? I bought it in colombia. Thanks for the answer btw. There's any mod, way to give my phone the 2100 frequency? Maybe changing a hardware part? O just I should change the phone? If I change Rom does it do anything? Sorry for all the questions

In the box says made in brazil. Don't know if that's of any help. Any way I can change the 3g radio??
changing roms or baseband is of no use unless you have correct radio. did you use the phone in colombia? did 3G work? if 3G worked in colombia it will not work in Italy, if thats the case i think easiest is to change your phone if you want 3G, not sure if anyone tried to mod radio.

Yes it worked there. Well, thank you for the help, I think I'll keep this for a while, but at the end I'll have to change it. I'll try to ask if maybe some other company use the 850 or 900 here also for 3G. I think, if the topic is solved. Thank you nolimizz.

Will the T-mobile version work on AT&T?

The Tmobile version looks like it has the 850/1900 bands to work on ATT's network? Does it in practice?
I know one problem might be the micro sim card idk if att uses those at all. I guesse u could probably just cut a regular one

I think it will work but you will only get Edge data. But why go through the hassle when they are releasing the One X on May 6th?

I agree the att one x will have the same awesome krait prossecor and it might have the same internals maybe making it possible to flash one s roms with the art one x. Because the att one x and international one x won't be able to flash each others Roms
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
ATT uses micro sim, that's not an issue.
Frankly I find these LTE just getting to be ridiculously big. The HTC One S is the perfect size imo.
According to the FCC document for the t-mobile version, it's supports WCDMA 850 (ATT), 1700 (T-mobile) and 1900 (ATT,T-mobile). So I should fine on ATT's network as long as I put in the correct APN right?
Also looking for clarification on this...
It probably will, but it has to be unlocked and for that to happen, we need S-Off which could very well be a few months away. Why don't you buy the international, unlocked version outright? You also get your choice of colors (red/black as well instead of just blue/grey).
Wow, not a straight answer yet, YES and unlocked HTC One S will work on ATT 3G (1900mhz). No ATT LTE support. Contrary to above micro-sim is not a problem, att iphones use them and of course you can always cut it as well.

i am sure it works with att hspa plus. i have persoanlly tried unlocking and using it and it works plus check this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odaS8tcxa0A this dude does the same thing and you can see it working on att along with the galaxy note
p.s. that band might not be available on some areas and 4g might not work, but works where i live (boulder,co)
Ok so... the T-mobile version will work with AT&T... will the international version work any less? As far as I can tell they both use the same bands (with exception to AWS of course).. but I very well could be missing something.

I thought it had the 850 band for 3G only. I don't see any specs that say it has the 1900 band for 3G. This tells me it will only work in places that AT&T has 3G on the 850 band. Does ATT use 1900 at all for 3G?

ATT uses 1900, in some markets, ATT uses the mixture of both, 850 has better penetration in urban areas (tall buildings ...)
I'm interested in the phone, but i'm going to be using it on ATT. Can somebody that has the device tell us what is the FCC ID?
Quick trip to Phone Scoop website, i can see that there are two FCC ID's associated with the phone. NM8PJ40110 passed the tests using ATT WCDMA bands (band II 1900 and band V 850) and T-Mobile bands (band IV 1700/2100). NM8PJ40100 passed only ATT bands. Both doesn't show any reference to any test on WCDMA 2100 (band I), which probably means that the phone doesn't support the international 3G band.
In short, theoretically, the T-Mobile's version of HTC One S should work on ATT 3G bands (WCDMA band II and WCDMA band V), however, the phone would not support ATT LTE.
Since the hardware is there (FCC website proves it, unless if the official T-Mobile USA version got pushed with different FCC ID that i do not know), the phone should work on ATT 3G, but nothing prevents T-Mobile to disable the ATT 3G radios in their ROM. I think that S-OFF would give opportunity to enable the ATT radios (if they are blocked)
We will see ...
Take care,
From my experience, the ATT radio is not blocked and works fine.

ROM update while travelling abroad

I am going to Australia next week to for a couple of months.. and I think Rogers is going to update Razr HD phone in last week of January. Is it possible to get the update there in Australia? I am still resisting the temptation of rooting the phone and installing Telstra's ROM on it.
You can only OTA update while connected to the Rogers network. I would flash an Aussie ROM anyway before you go, so you can use their LTE if desired.

So what if i put the Rogers sim in while in Australia.. I will be on roaming, Will it get updated?.. Secondly.. i think i will be using telstra there but problem is that their LTE frequency is 1800 MHz and it is not supported by Razr HD we have here in Canada.

I don't think this is true - updates come from Google right? So even if you are only connected via WiFi (with the cellular data off), it should receive the update...

It doesn't matter what sim you have installed. Once you check in to the Motorola servers and there is an update sitting for your phone (as determined by your blur system version) the OTA will download.

Same phone, different rom enables/disables different LTE bands. Flashing an aussie rom should enable LTE support in Australia.

You can update every carrier rom on any network ... without network via wifi without simcard...
Again this is false you can t get telstra lte on rogers phone... you can t get dual carrier hspa (dc hspa) on a rogers phone
Rogers have only 700/1700 mhz lte band with a 21 mbits ... chip
A friend from europe francer have buy this rogers phone ... flashed the sfr rom ... have a lte simcard and lte plan on sfr in lte area and not work ....
Is not just a base band question... some peoplr say same thing for motorola defy... 3 different phone... 900/2100 850/1700/2100 850/1900 if you take a baseband 850/1900 on a 900/2100 chip the phone don t work ...

Hmm... Interesting. However, I have a TMobile Defy, default 850/1700/2100 and switched it to Argentina 850/1900 and it works on Rogers that way.
Razr HD International lists the following for LTE bands:
700 MHz Class 17, 800 MHz, 1700/2100 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz
So you're saying that the phones for different regions are hardware limited to certain LTE bandwidths? That is different from what I've been reading. I'm not saying you're wrong, just no-one else seems to make that connection.

how to unlock the 1700mhz band

Hi guys,
I'm currently traveling to the US for few weeks so I bought a T-Mobile sim. As my model is the 2203, it's missing the 1700mhz band so I can't connect to 3G/4G.
Any idea on how to activate the other band or how to switch to the US firmware?
Thanks!!
