Hi, i have a Samsung Grand Neo Plus GT-I9060I bought on Europe. Unfortunately, i live in Argentina, and the 3g frequency here is 850 mhz, and my phone has 900 mhz. My question, is this a hardware limitation or it can be fixed by software? if hardware, can it be fixed by a technician or it has no fix at all? Thank you very much
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It's a hardware limitation. So you won't be able to change the 3g band.

i want to purchase NEXSUS S and my qwestion is the developers will make radio's version like the nexsus 1 - UMTS 850 MHz or 850 MHz/ 2100 MHz to the new nexsus s ???
if yes when ? and where i'll could buy it?
If I am not mistaken, the bands are hardware dependant. Support for that band wouldn't be possible through software alone. Also, I doubt that anything from the nexus one will work without porting it over.
Edit: I would feel like a bad dev poster if I didn't mention that this belongs in q&a.

Hi all, I bought Motorola xt 720, and i realized that the 3g band was not as in my country.
In argentina we have 850 - 1900. my phone seems not support that.
I read its a hardware limitation, but i did not loose my faith and came with the experts
Do anyone know if changing 3g band is possible?
Thanks!
I have a T-Mobile Garminfone A50 in Canada.
Here's the question: the Nuvifone A50 has different specs than then USA released Garminfone a50. Namely the HSPA frequencies.
the Nuvifone A50: "Networks: HSDPA Cat 8 7.2Mbps, HSPA / WCDMA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100, GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, GPRS EDGE Class 12"
From T-Mobile USA: Networks: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, GPRS EDGE Class 12, UMTS HSPA 2100/1700, HSDPA Cat 8, 7.2 Mbps.
Looks to me as though the European Nuvifone A50 supports HSPA 850/900/1900 where the T-mobile USA one does not.
So, will rooting permit the T-Mobile phone to use the full spectrum of frequencies as the A50 does in Europe? I need the 850/1900 MHz range to get coverage where i live and i really like this phone and would rather not throw it in the garbage.
seems to me that it should be possible. i would think that they are the same phone just tmobile has locked those frequencies somehow? I'm new to the forum and hacking and would really appreciate any help/tips/tricks. basically the same question was posted by Spazmogen a year ago but i couldn't find any replies. Please help if you can! thanks
Had anybody got any further on this issue?
So far all my searches have come up with nothing certain. There is a lot of speculation about how the phones are built but that is about it. It will really suck if this phone wont handle 850 Mhz! (Au phone here btw)
Any gurus out there with more of an idea?
Hello guys . i got a samsung galaxy exhibit T599 here , my question is , why is my signal is always EDGE . and if i set the setting into 3G , the network isn't available .
first , i think the sim is unlocked , but there is no request for code from the phone .
i can connect to any simcard provider , but the signal i have is only EDGE.
please helm me , and sorry for the bad elnglish.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Which carrier are you with and what bands do their 3G networks operate on? The phone you have has compatibility with the following bands:
GSM (2G) 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
HSDPA (3G) 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
So you need to make sure your carrier is operating on those bands.

I got a V19 phone from china with Android 5.0. I believe it is a rooted phone, I've seen some of those features. It came in a box that says Android. I have no idea of the manufacturer.
Problem: I cant get the data connection (tmobile, wifi works fine) to get better than the edge network, 2G. I've learned that T-Mobile requires these bands:
LTE Frequencies:
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
Lower 700 MHz band 12 (in development) / in service in selected areas
3G/4G Frequencies (WCDMA):
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
2G Frequencies (GSM/GPRS/EDGE):
1900 MHz PCS band 2
Inside the battery area the phone lists :
GSM 850/900/1800/1900mhz
WCDMA 850/2100mhz (HA)
When I got to engineering mode, I can see other bands that are greyed out.
So my question is this. Is it possible to slick this phone and install software, etc, that allows the bands I need? Or are 'Bands" hard coded into the hardware of the phone? Easier to just buy another phone with correct bands? Advice or links?
Thanks,
Gary B.
