I'm wondering if the HTC Mozart t8697 is hardware locked to the 850/2100 frequency or is it a software lock? My problem is that the Australia Telstra version of this phone is a lot cheaper to purchase than the t8698 or t8699 which supports the 900/2100 range.
Is there a radio that can be flashed to the phone that can change this?
If not is there anyone that wishes to trade an t8698 phone for a t8697?

yo tengo un t8699 de t-mobile germany
y mi caso es que vivo en venezuela y necesito la frecuencia 850
el problema es que estamos muy lejos de lo contrario seria bueno cambiarlos.
esperemos respuesta de los expertos a ver si se puede cambiar la radio.
yo le instale la ron de telstra y de todas maneras no me sirve el 3g
sorry I cant understand that language... Thanks for the reply though.
nevermind... I used google. It is unfortunate that we are far apart. I really hope this can be solved with a radio change but I somehow doubt it.

hopefully answer from the experts and see if you can change the radio.
I install the telstra rum and anyway I can not use the 3g
I'm guessing not many people read these forum posts then I was hoping for at least some sort of reply from a knowledgeable person!
If someone with some info on this can reply it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

oh we read posts like yours! flashing another radio will not change from 850/2100 to 900/2100 band, it's as simple as that. it's not hardware, but something to do with the radio chip firmware that requires special code/tools (or something like that) to change bands. hope this helps.
you can up radio new version for your mozart

Hi,
Your phone operates perfectly and to both: Australia / Europe and World Wide.
With 2100 MHz HSPA/WCDMA (even with 850MHz) for 3G and everywhere that not supported with 850/900/1800/1900 2G
You can try compatible ROMs but 1st check that you can return to the initial one.
Regards, ansar.
Quick question
Just got a incredible 4g off ebay but it shows no service
Is it because it has no sim card installed.
I tought it's cdma and it doesn't need sim card to connect to cdma network.
I factory reset it and change to global mode / cdma nothing will make it connect to verizon network.

How do you know if your phone is CDMA or GSM?
I have a Boost Mobile Moto E 2015 4G LTE (XT1526)
Is mine CDMA or GSM?
Thank you for the clarification in advance!
It's CDMA. Usually, someone correct me if I'm wrong, sprint and verizon use CDMA. at&t and tmo use gsm. Boost is a subsidiary of sprint. As far as I know, and again please correct me if I'm wrong, SIM cards indicate the device uses gsm except in the case of, for example, when the verizon 4g phones first came out they had a sim card. The phones are still CDMA, but use a sim card for 4g/lte. Also, some phones have been released in the past on verizon that have gsm capability built in but isn't used.
LTE is a GSM standard, hence why there is a SIM card slot.
Sprint's (Boost's) 2G and 3G still use CDMA.
Additionally, Sprint (Boost) uses LTE bands 25, 26, and 41, which I don't believe any other US carrier uses, so unless the other major bands are present but locked/hidden, you wouldn't be able to use it on any other carriers anyway.
When I manually set it to GSM only mode, I can do Emergency calls on GSM 900MHz 2G network here in Cuba.
after a while, the phone switches to LTE again.
there should be something that can be donde to force the GSM only mode

Sadly it's (XT1526)a CDMA variant while it does have a "sim" slot its actually a UICC slot to validate usage on the Sprint network. I'll see what I can find out about unlocking it for GSM. Oh by the way what part of Cuba are you from? My wife is from Centro Habana, born in La Lisa. [emoji4]

Following keenly. I have a Sprint Moto E in transit. Have you tried to unlock the bootloader and unlock the other network bands as detailed below:
Clicky to another XDA post
My Sprint HTC one E8 was locked to 2G after lollipop update, this helped to unlock the 3G part.
Will have to check all of that info and try, it is kinda intresting information, I have got few qulcomm phones here in Cuba which doesnt include 2G bands, only 4G, LTE, I would like to give those, a shoot also.
Have to study first all of the info.
thanks

And, as I said, the phone has the GSM 900Mhz band, because it is making the emergency call and is giving the operator Message, and for this to success the phone has to be connected to the operator via 900MHZ GSM, the unique Frecuency working in Eastern Cuba.

Hi how did you manually set it to GSM mode? I have a boost mobile for use outside the US but the wireless network settings are grayed out. Thanks
You can tell if your phone is GSM or CDMA by dialing *#06# on the dial pad of the telephone app. If your phone is GSM, it will show a unique IMEI number(s) which is 15 digits (and may be followed by a / and two additional digits). If you check under the battery of a GSM phone, you will typically see the IMEI number(s) there also. IMEI numbers are always labeled IMEI so you know that that's what you're looking at.
A CDMA phone does not have a 15 digit IMEI number. Instead it will show a MDEI number which is not 15 digits long. The number shown will also be labeled MDEI.
bueno, acabo de recibir un moto e xt1526 y lo puse a funcionar con gsm y lo logre con este
busca en google: habilitar bandas gsm en moto e 2da generacion, te saldra una opcion para el de verizon, pero dale con ese a mi me funciono.
I have been using a TMO branded GS3 and with an Anker super-battery and service is good. One feature I like about TMO is the UMA via wifi that directs voice / SMS traffic through wifi. Game-on! when abroad.
I was given an ATT branded GS5 SM-G900A. Supposedly ATT wifi calling is supported the GS5. What software changes would be needed to mod the ATT GS5 to support UMA?
It would seem that I might be better off spending the extra $150 to get the T-Mobile branded device.
I have a T-Mobile One plan. I am going to Niagara Falls ON next week. Has anyone used this phone in that location? Did data, voice, & text work OK?
Heyyo, I'm not in that part of Canada (eh?) But she does work really good for the majority of mobile service providers.

I've used my Le Max 2 with Bell, Koodo and Fido and they all get good cellular reception and speeds...
BUT BE WARNED! Just know that Canada has the WORST mobile plans in the world! I'd check with your service provider and see if they have a better roaming rates than just getting a Canadian sim card for prepaid data...
I am between Ottawa and Montreal I have le Max 2 x829 no problem with Bell
