[Q] Is HSPA band controlled by kernel/firmware? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi, I have Sony Ericsson wt19i bought in europe. It supports HSDPA 900 / 2100 band. Sony Ericsson has a satelite model wt19a, which supports american HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - WT19a.
Is this HDSPA band controlled by Kernel/firmware or it is determined purely by hardware. Is it possible to enable HSPA 850/1900 on my wt19i by chaning the kernel or firmware.
I did try flashing a stock firmware for wt19a, but it did not help...

[Q] Change X10i T-Mobile to X10a generic

My carrier in Brazil is Oi. The 3G frequency is 1800MHz.
I've got an Xperia X10i T-Mobile branded.
(1) The X10i works at 1700Mhz, right?
(2) How can I still use the 3G in Brazil?
(3) If I decided to debrand it to a generic firmware, could I also change it from an X10i to an X10a firmware?

1800 is the 2g frequency while 2100 is the 3g one so you will be just fine.. here have a look

No, there's nothing you can do about that.

How to enable working bands 850 900 1800 2100 x10 on mini?

My question is how can I enable the following working bands: 850 900 1800 and 2100 (HSDPA) in the x10 mini, so I can use the 3G and out of roaming, I'm currently with only 850 900 1800 and 1900 (EDGE), it can be any method that is already helping, firmware, custom roms, baseband, because so far found nothing of that helped me.
My x10 mini's with the generic word version E10a 2.1.1.a.0.6 baseband 015 of SEUS.
I thank any help.

[Q] Sony Ericsson SK17a on T-Mobile 3G

Has anyone gotten the SK17a (American version) to work on T-Mobile's 3G network (not 2G)? I am getting on 2G with this phone, and was told by Sony Ericsson support that the only U.S 3G network the phone works with is AT&T.
Does anyone have the SK17a (or SK17i) working on 3G T-Mobile?
Thanks in advance
Sk17a dont work with 3G of T-mobile, for T-mobile you need a sk17i
Sent from my SK17a using XDA App
Jacker6,
I have both SK17i and SK17a; none of them works with 3G T-Mobile. They only work with 2G (EDGE)
Hi,
What T-mobile support told you is correct.
The technical answer is because T-Mobile USA works under 1700 MHz/2100 MHz for UMTS/HSDPA (3G).
You need BOTH bands to work on 3G.
Mini pro sk17a works under:
HSDPA 900 / 2100 Mhz
and sk17i:
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 Mhz
As you can see, both versions lack the 1700 Mhz frequency band.
I'm still with T-Mobile, although I'm planning to change to AT&T next month...
Thanks a lot!

[Q]Multi-Country Usage?

hey,
I've been looking at this phone and it looks amazing. The feature that's most appealing to me is the 2g/3g network, accd. to gsmarena:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 1700 / 2100 or HSDPA 1700 / 1900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
I'm currently in the States and intend on using it here, but might be in Korea in the near future and don't want to have to buy 2 phones. Long question short: could I use this phone in S. Korea?
thanks
Depends on what bands are being used by the company you wish to use it on, check the bands of that company, make sure the company is a GSM company, then check the info against the info you obtained from gsmarena, if they match up, then you have your answer.
