is there anyway to fix the 3g network band for nexus s,
in galaxy s i9000 i was using *#2263# to change the freq. band...anyone know any code or any app to check or to modify the frequency band?
or any radio support 900 HSPA?
my phone is i9020t
You can't change the frequency bands your phone uses via software. The only way to do it, is buy a broken phone, and use that phones guts (insides) in your device. Pending of course that the broken phone uses the frequency that you need.
Btw, wrong section. This should be in the q&a
Or some mad solder skills.
Not sure if it supports the 900Mhz band though.

*#*#4636#*#* you can set your radio to 2G+3G, 2G and 3G (with preference). You can set your bands based on your geographical location. See for yourself. I think the AWS nexus S supports 900/1700/2100 doesn't it?

Moved to proper forum, please post in the correct forums.
Hey everyone, just a question that I've not been able to find a definite answer to.
Is it possible for an android phone to pick up and send a signal on the cb radio frequency? I know there are apps out that simulate this but you can only talk to people who have said app, I want to see if I can use my phone to talk to someone with an actual radio

As a General Class Ham Radio Operator in the US, I can safely say I've yet to hear of a phone with such a radio in it. Citizen's Band, or CB, operates within the 11m band (~27MHz), and neither Cellular or WiFi radio are near there. Cellular radio is normally in the 850, 900, 1800 and/or 1900MHz bands, depending on your particular phone/carrier/location, and WiFi is in the GHz.
However, there is an application for Echolink (which you WILL require a valid Ham Radio license to operate, even for the mobile app), and using that, you could theoretically connect to a Link or Repeater client, and if they had a radio capable of CB/10m broadcast, that would work. However such a client is unlikely to be found -- most Echolink/IRLP Nodes that exist are not on HF (where CB is), they're mostly all VHF and/or UHF.
Thanks for replying with so much info..

Hello,
OnePlus annonces that the One will NOT be able to connect on 4G LTE 800 MHz Network.
But the Snapdragon 801 can operate it (example on HTC One M8 or Samsung S5).
There is a solution to open this restriction with a software or a custom ROM ???
Sorry for bad english
Thanks,
Profil.

Yes, I have the same question. If it have been possible with the Nexus 4 why not with the OnePlus One ?
Is there a developer planning to work on that please ?
Thanks in advance
The problem is not whether the processor can support it. It needs an antenna and signal booster for the spectrum. Oneplus put all the frequencies they could without blowing the budget. It most likely won't be able to be added with just software tweaks.

Someone said that will enable 15 LTE bands?

Radios are hardware, not software. On the Nexus 4, the phone itself physically has a band 4 LTE radio, but it's not enabled in the software, but with software hacks, you can enable it. If the phone doesn't physically support specific bands with the hardware, no software or hack can change that, any more than software can turn your 720p screen into a 1080p, or turn 8gm storage into 16gb.
Someone have some solutions about this thread ???
Is it possible or not ?
If a developer read this, an answer could be great
Thanks

Huh? The radio (or baseband) is firmware, it's updated just like any other software/firmware component of a device.

The radio has firmware, yes, but the radio is still a physical component, and that physical component doesn't support band 800MHz. No software or firmware or whatever you want to call it can enable something that doesn't exist.

I'm not denying the fact that you can't change hardware limitations. I was referring solely to the incorrect statement that the radio is hardware and not firmware.

The word radio refers either to the equipment transmitting and/or receiving an electromagnetic signal, or the signal itself. Referring to the firmware/software of such equipment as "radio" is a misuse of the word.
This argument is pointless.

Flashing radio firmware and flashing a radio are different things. Last time I flashed radio firmware, I enabled the band 4 LTE modem on my Nexus 4. But the last time I flashed a radio, I was standing naked in front of my Sony Boombox.
Semantics. The term radio is common in the XDA vernacular just like there are shortened terms in everyday life.

Regarding the chip used for radio transmission the non-chinese version is supposed to have this chip:
Skyworks 77629-21 -.- Can`t post link, please google it for specs...
i.imgur.com/RoHwknl.jpg
It states: LTE supports output power bandwidth bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8
(and sub-bands 9, 10, 18, 19, 20, 26)
So, if this is true, is it still a hardware problem or could this be a software problem?
Cheers

Any devs around...I think we need this, there are lots of stations popping up with 800MHz because it's cheap...at least here in Finland.
It is the same problem in France where the 800 Mhz is very used.
If somebody have a solution please, share it ! :fingers-crossed:
Its the same problem here in Sweden to. Telia is using LTE 800 and 2600.
800 for the mostpart of the whole country and 2600 that is supported by the 1+1 is only used in the bygger cities like Stockholm and göteborg etc.
Cant really say i like oneplus decision on not using the 800 as it seems to be used alot.

800mhz lte (max. 50Mbit/s)has almost no speed improvement over hspa+(42Mbit/s)
It's no big deal, at least for me.

Of that i am aware, but the LTE 800 has a wider reception spectrum with stronger signal, if HSPA+ are to reach top speed it will require a full connection to the Antenna, whereas the LTE would have a improved reception quality as it has a stronger output signal than the HSPA+.
A full HSPA+ connection cant be met in the Swedish countryside.

I don't know why but for me, I life in Munich - Germany and LTE is throughout lower strength than 3g for me. But maybe that's because the telecom 3g network is perfect in munich.
