Hello XDA
I'm having some trouble with my 3g connection when i'm at my hometown. I live in São Paulo (Brazil) and my 3g works fine but when i go back to my hometown i can only get EDGE signal.
At first i thought that the city didn't have 3g signal but i found out that my neighboor also has a X10 with the same ROM as mine (WBs) and he can get 3g on his phone.
The only difference between the two phones is that i got mine on amazon e he got his in a department store here
Thanks in advance
Im starting to worry about this, 80 views and no reply

Which model do you and your neighbor have? X10i or X10a? What carrier are you both with?
“Love thy neighbor.”
...even if they get better reception than you.
Mine is x10i and his is x10a, if i'm not mistaken (i'll confirm his model tomorrow)
we are both on the same carrier: Vivo

Ooh, you might have the wrong radio for your area. The x10a has different radio frequencies than the x10i

Is there a way to fix it? Or its about the hardware?

It's the hardware. That's what I was concerned about.
Sorry bro... Only way to fix it is to get a new X10 or new carrier that supports the X10's frequencies.

That was my concern too
What i dont understand is why would my carrier use a frequency that makes my 3g works in some cities and another frequency in some other cities which is where i can't get 3g

Is it possible to use my X10 and get 3g? Anyone doing so now? Thanks!

You dont get 3g to begin with? Its all a matter of where you are in the US if your not getting 3g.
Currently I have AT&T and I an looking to switch providers, was going to keep the X10 of I could since I rooted and flashed it. The only UMTS/HSPA bands I see they share in common are 850 & 2100.

Yeah they do use different 3g signals. You'll have to ask T-Mobile honestly. I'm sure if you just put a T-Mobile sim card in there you'll be fine though

I've heard Tmobile and ATT use different 3g bands.
Also, you need to make sure your X10 is not sim locked to use it on Tmobile.

Guys,
I am about to received my SGS 2 tomorrow.
I am in Australia on a 850mhz 3g (read not GSM) network (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_G)
I know the phone supports this band, but I see some region firmwares floating around and am wondering if ALL firmwares support this band? Or is firmware specific.
Thanks guys.
Im on VR1.1 with everything else stock and next g is cool with me. Preordered from UK so mines from release.

Can I ask how you know your on Next G and not just 3g?
You can use non 850mhz Bands with Telstra and get std 3g.
Well im just assuming. But where i live all my family get 1bar with optus/3/voda whereas i get full bars. If u have a way for me to check ill have a look

not really sure how to check, the best I could figure out is install Network Info II and check network type
Should be HSDPA/UMTS?
I cant seem to find any tool to tell you exact frequency the phone is using.
It is not firmware dependent (If someone buys a Vodaphone branded SGS2 it is still going to work with NextG, but it will probably just be SIM locked). NextG is HSPA noted by the 'H+' symbol. When I was on Three is was just 'H' which is HSPDA.
If you dial *#*#4636#*#* and go phone information -> menu key -> Select Radio Band -> AUS2 Band
AUS2 is NextG 850Mhz, so if you get internet access on that, it is running NextG. The Phone Information section will also tell you your current network protocol also. If it is reporting UMTS then click the 'run ping test' button, it will flick over to HSPA
Hspa when data is being used
Umts when data is inactive

Also just rum some speed tests and you'll know if you're on 3g or HSDPA.

thanks guys.
Once it has charged I will put SIM in and test all this, very excited as moving from my HTC Desire
Sorry to dig this post up from the grave, but I'm about to move my SGSii to Telstra, as well.
I was wondering if you found benefit to these changes, and if you've changed anything further since.
Have you found any particular ROM/modem to be better (either in reception or battery life) than others.
And, finally, what sort of battery life do you get? I get about 14 hours before I have to plug it in, but I get terrible reception at work (I'm currently on 3), so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it.
Thanks heaps.
1. Will a British Ace work in Canada?
2. If so, what's the cheapest, safest, easiest way to network unlock it?
I have the british ace and the 3g bands are NOT compatible with rogers or fido. The only gsm providers with 3g on the SGA bands are wind and mobilcity. Works great in toronto. I bought mine unlocked so can't help you there.

IMHO. reflash with ROM suitable with your area may solve the problem... just guessing

Wrong guess, the phone may not be using the bands in the region.

Any idea about it working on Telus in Ontario?
My friend wants a new phone and i have my ace sitting there doing nothing, just don't know if it would work there
Hello guys. I am completely confused about the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE 3G/4G bands. GSMArena shows it supports 850/1900 HSDPA bands, however after doing some research I found people calling it has 900/2100.
Long story short, I want to use this guy on Movistar Argentina network (HSDPA/UMTS 850/1900). Can anyone of you confirm or deny the compatibility? I know GSM works, but I need to know about 3G. Thank you very much in advance.

I think they are different bands. Can anyone who has AT&T service on their area test it? It has the same bands as my carrier. Thanks
Bump?

Sorry for replying to this since it is pretty old. But I have the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (R800x) and I was very much confused by how it works. I mean seriously, the way you boot into the recovery was wacked out, and the way the recovery is installed onto the phone was wacked out as well. It was put into the boot image (or the kernel). With HTC, you aren't kernel dependant. (well you are but your kernel and recovery isn't merged.) And the way you update and stuff. DANG. It is just so confusing. I thought I bricked my Xperia Play last November, but turns out I just wasn't doing anything right and it was a simple fix.
The way you boot into fastboot was just weird. The screen didn't do anything, the LED just turned blue. That's weird. And the phone barely works with Jelly Bean, or so I noticed when I was messing around in that section of XDA. I am not too pleased with the setup of the Sony Ericsson or Sony Xperia devices. I didn't mean to sound rude by the way, I hate it when people on here are like that and it makes me furious when they are jerks, so if I offended you with this post, by all means, call me out on it.
FHi guys..
I really need few information regarding latest (402) firmware.
If anyone on XDA is from ex YU region (Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, maybe even Slovenia) and can confirm which fw will work in our region.
I know all fw will work but there's problems with 4g - it doesn't work on German, UK, DE firmware.
So....if anyone has some good info, advice or firmwar for our region - please share...I'm on T-mobile and there's still no 402 fw...
BTW - I test everything and I'm sure it's firmware / baseband problem.
Flashing 55 baseband files on 492 won't help.
Customisation nr from (TELEKOM LTE)17.1.A.2.55 is 1282-1397 (R4A)
Tnx

Try the Global Firmwares, Aka Tiwan Global LTE
It may be country spesific but thats just region customization, everything else should be global

Tnx for replying mate...
Actually, I got 55 (t-mobile) from @Nut (tnx buddy one more time) and the other day t-mobile (finally) released 402 for my country.
Everything is working great now...
I built fw and I'm planning to upload it (even I doubt anyone will ever need it).
I tried two times already but even I have good download speed (12mbps) I have only 512kbps upload and in dev-host uploading issues (can't get more then 100kbps) it's 5-7 hours job.. (10h if I wanna upload 55 and 402).
I'll try tonight...

Really?
No one is offering LTE?
That's odd...
We have VIPnet and t-mobile for LTE - t-mobile actually is offering two "mods" of LTE.
4g - up to 7.2 mbps
4g+ - up to 72 mbps
Only tele2 have only 3g..
Yoy don't have infrastructure for LTE or providers/carriers just don't want to offer it?

There is no LTE network because our law doesn't recognize that specific frequencies currently in use for TV emisson are necessary for LTE. Or maybe it is radio signal, don't take it for granted, but it is bureaucracy problem. Networks are ready, but cannot emit LTE before the appropriate law. I would also like to be able to download fw for Srb, BiH and Macedonia (maybe it is the same for Croatia), and I think that SI number is 1281-0026.

Yeah...you are right.
We canceled analog tv and two major carriers took those frequencies (t-mobile and vip)
Also, t-mobile released 402 so I could provide that for you...

It is interesting that after repair through PC companion I got different firmware, with different customization number (it is not 1281-0026 anymore). I bought my phone through Telenor, but it was unlocked, simfree version. Currently I'm on German generic, 1281-4640 ( I think ... ) and it gives me the best 3g (HSPA) speed of all the phones that I ever had, almost 21Mbps down ... Maybe you could upload stock music,photos and videos, since I am new to Android and all of those have been lost after repair through PC Comp ... :crying:
Sure mate...I just received all those three app s update.
I'll upload and send you box link...
