[Q]. Need to know Model vs 3g bands used

I have been looking in many different places and could not get a decisive result towards which E8 model has which frequecy bands, especially concerning the 3G bands.
I hope one could give us a conclusive answer to this.
I myself have an M8sw chinese dual sim E8, and I still cant tell this answer wether I have
850, 1900, 2100 or
900, 1900, 2100 or
850, 900, 2100 or
850, 900, 1900, 2100
And I could not find one conclusive answer to this.
Please if someone can link each model to its bands, I would be extremely greatful.

Ian, I guess tou are the one, when it comes to E8. Thanks.

Just one more question. How did you figure it out?
You speek Chinese? The site has no English version. I thought I could use it for reference, but unfortunately I coudlnt due to language barrier.

Use Google translate, man...

[Q] Wind support? [SOLVED]

My brother is looking into switching to wind and getting a new phone
From wind's website:
The WIND Mobile network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100 MHz.
From gsm arena regarding the XT1540:
HSDPA 850 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100
LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 12(700), 17(700)
it says 1700(AWS) but it doesn't have (AWS) beside 2100 so I'm not 100% sure.
Any idea?

I'm using an unlocked Telus XT1540 on Wind and everything works fine.

Yes it will work. I think most unlocked smartphones will work on those bands.
Wind's pricing has always been a steal in Canada, however their network is a little dodgy once you leave the city or if you're near a lot of concrete.

Radio / Bands support in Europe?

hey guys,
i can't really find any information if the Mi4C will work out of the box in europe. i'm in austria on a drei (three) network.
i've read stuff about LTE/4G not being supported in europe but thats dismissable for me. but will normal phonecalls and connectivity up to hsdpa+ work in europe?
thanks in advance

According to gsmarena

So check your bands with this

Three (3) only works with bands 2600 and 1900 so they'll both work in the Mi4C. The only band that won't work is the 20 (800 mHz)

I posted some guides on how to unlock LTE bands in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/unlocking-lte-bands-t3215763
Hopefully those instructions work for someone to unlock B20. Let me know if it works!

[Question] Moto G 3rd Gen International Network Compatability

Hi all, I'm considering buying an unlocked GSM Moto G 3rd Gen, and I am trying to figure out how it will work outside the US with other network operators. The 2 areas I am interested in are Hong Kong and Ecuador.
The network specs for the Moto G 3rd Gen are:
Code:
Technology GSM / CDMA / HSPA / LTE
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
CDMA 800 / 1900 - XT1548
3G bands HSDPA 900 / 2100 - XT1541
HSDPA 850 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 - XT1540
HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 - XT1548
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800) - XT1541
LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 17(700) - XT1540
LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 12(700), 17(700), 25(1900), 26(850), 41(2500) - XT1548
Speed HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps
GPRS Yes
EDGE Yes
GSM information from: http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
China, Hong Kong (SAR):
Code:
900 1800
3G 2100 CSL Ltd; 3G 2100 HKT; 3G 900/2100 Hutchison; 3G 2100 SmarTone;
4G LTE HKT 1800/2600Mhz; 4G LTE Hutchison 1800/2600Mhz; 4G LTE SmarTone 1800Mhz;
Ecuador:
Code:
1900 850
3G 850 Claro; 3G 2100 MOVISTAR;
4G LTE CNT Mobile 1700Mhz;
My conclusion from the data above is:
Voice/SMS/2G Data - Supported in both HK and Ecuador because the Moto G supports all 850, 900, 1800, and 1900
3G Data - Supported in both HK and Ecuador on all carriers since all frequencies for the carriers are present in the phone specs for 3G
4G LTE - Supported in both HK and Ecuador on all carriers because all frequencies listed by the carriers are present in the 4G LTE list
Could someone eyeball these specs and let me know if I'm drawing the correct conclusions or if I'm actually misunderstanding how the bands work?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Edit: I was double checking the bands listed on gsmarena, which claims both Hong Kong and Ecuador have UMTS 3G bands. The Moto G specs say HSDPA for all the 3G bands. Does the phone need to have UMTS listed for it to work or are they compatible for 3G?

Flash new RUU

Hi,
I want to flash a new RUU to change frequency bands. I have Taiwanese model A9 and I want 4G LTE works worldwide.
2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 - Americas
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - EMEA/Asia
4G LTE : band 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700), 29(700) - Americas
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 28(700), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500) - EMEA/Asia
Living in Canada, I need AWS 1700/2100 on band 4, but I still want my phone to be compatible with European/Asian countries frequency bands - especially Taiwan. So how can I make my phone international version?
