Yes, band view is possible. The app reports only E/U/ARFCN for now, but you can use http://www.cellmapper.net/arfcn.php to convert it to band info. All Windows 10 Mobile phones are supported.

This worked for my Lumia 640. It has not worked for the Lumia 635 but that is on a non-standard Win10 installation. My 635 is the 0.5 GB ram model so it shouldn't have Win10 anyway.
Thanks!

The app should install on 512MB RAM models too, though it will not work in the background well. You could try using the Device Portal to install, remember the dependencies too. Or alternatively deploy using Application Deployment that comes with the SDK.
Great
Any chance to choose network?

You can change your provider on phone Settings -> Cellular & SIM -> SIM Settings -> Search Networks
Then select network where you like connect. Your phone calls, messages and mobile data not working but emergency calls working (2G/3G).

So you mean locking to a specific frequency band? On Lumia x50 devices you can open Edge and type the url mmo-ftdapp://test and use the Band Locking. Other Lumias may or may not have the diagnosis dial code enabled. You can try by entering ##3282# in the phone dialer.
wow , on lumia 550 block band and maps correctly 2g 3g 4g band? also maps with screen off?

Hi,
Here is a free application I've developed for Windows Mobile 6.x.
http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/
It's basically a web server (and FTP server) that runs on your device so that you can browse its content from a web browser. No software install computer side.
It works either with :
-a WIFI connection,
-an USB connection (Windows Mobile Device Center or -ActiveSync needs to be installed and Advanced networking functionnality must not have been disabled on the device)
It serves mostly html pages, but for pictures browsing under Internet Explorer 7/8 it will show a .net/WPF/3D based UI that brings support for multiple file upload (any file type, not just pictures)
Now available on the English-US marketplace :
Basic version (free) :
http://marketplace.windowsphone.com/details.aspx?appId=46773904-92eb-498e-8e23-24578de7e9d4
Premium version :

just played with it for a minute - really freaking cool. Phenominal concept.
Is it possible for this to work over 3G? In my area, the 3G connection is ridiculously fast.

That would be indeed good.
I did nothing to prevent incoming request from connected network interfaces.
This means a connection could come from WIFI, usb with advanced networking enabled, or 3G. (note that it always ask you to authorize the incoming connection)
But that will probably not work with 3G, because most mobile network operators don't provide a public IP address, but a private IP address with a NAT routing system. No way to etablish a connection from another computer on the internet. (It can be possible only from another device in the same operator network).
Maybe there are some mobile operator who provide public IP addresses to their customers, in this case, this should work. But I'm not aware of any mobile operator doing that
This is also the reason why there haven't been massive ownage of jailbreaked iphones with ssh enabled with alpine root pwd! (until a few weeks ago in a specific mobile operator network)
Anyway I will probably build an azure based service someday (if there is enough demand) to provide some sort of relay to make this feature possible. But I won't be able to provide it for free, since windows azure hosting is not free. I'm thinking to do that to enable SMS sending/reading from a computer anytime, as Exchange 2010 does.
a login system would be able to take care of that.. but would require a public server to translate logins from the phone and their 3G IPs to the PC side of it..
Just food for thought
looks cool.. have linked to it from here : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/11/20/wifi-remote-access-explore-the-content-of-your-windows-phone-from-your-computer-using-wifi.html
looks good,will try it later.
I must say, this is one nice app. Great beginning and looking forward to future updates.
Awesome.
Great Work.
Works great... Do you have a donation link?

you mean, the phone should connect to the user computer to etablish direct connection over the internet? (since the opposite is not possible)
sure, that is possible but it would need a software running on the user computer and it will not work for people behind a NAT or firewall. They will have to configure their nat/firewall to allow incoming connection to their computer.
So, there's no easy solution , except using a server to allow communication between the windows mobile device and the computer, which would cost me money to operate. But I don't like the fact that the users data would transit to my server. It would be a big responsability, security speaking. Thus, I'm still thinking about it.

the application is free and the final release (available in a few days) will be free too, but the current beta is time bombed, because I was afraid to lose control in case there would be a major bug in the beta : there is no auto update system, and I know some people already put it on rapidshare, that's why I put a time bomb in the beta version.
However I'm thinking to sell it on the marketplace (French and US) for 2$, because this application is a lot of work... but it will still be available for free outside the marketplace.
So, if you like the final release, you will be able to pay for it if you want to support me!

I think you can do this via 3G using openVPN for the windows mobile. I don't see why this wouldn't work.
I'm getting a 403 Error Access is forbidden no matter what password I'm using. I even try the preview on the device and still get the error.
I have a Raphael (Fuze) using WiFi
works great!
Great program! I'm getting an error message that it's not finding some of the files on my storage card, but when I type the directory in manually it works. Maybe it's because my music files are in "My Ringtones" and not "My Music"
Ok, this may be a stupid question, but which of the IP addresses do you use? It shows 2 on my phone.
Not that it really matters - both of them time out on me

Nice, I didn't think about that!
You could indeed connect via 3G using a VPN solution, if you have a VPN server at home and the appropriate routing configuration (or use the windows VPN creation assistant), it will be the same as if the device is directly connected to the local network, thus it should be reachable.

what is your device language?
did you use any special character for the password?

Tablets powered with Android 4 supports a large number of 3G modems:
Huawei E156G
Huawei E173
Huawei E220
Huawei E1750
ZTE MF637U
These are modems that are tested. Other modems might work as well.
To setup your modem follow the instructions below:
Go to settings (press the status bar in the low right corner) and press <More...> and you will see the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select <Mobile networks> and you will get this screen:
Select <Access Point Names>. when you come to the Access Point Page you click in the top right corner and select <New APN>.
This is the tricky part where you fill in the GSM operators settings. You can find settings for the most popular networks here. If your operator is not included you will have to ask the operator. The screenshot below shows the settings for Safaricom, Kenya:
When all settings are filled in press the arrow in the lower left corner and you are done.

Sorry to all this will not work. I take that manual from other site. It say Andtoid 4 3G Setup (original link in #1 post). I test it my self. No success.
Than i unpakced firmware to find out files like (gprs, pppd-ril.options, usb_wwan.ko, etc), some of them presents in firmware, others dissmised.
So the only way getting 3G via dongle, is custom firmware.

thanks, i know how to go to web via phone by changing wpa_suplicant2 file. But i want to connect via dongle.
I dont know how real this is, I have rooted my TF201 and no where do I see the mobile network on a stock rom, I have it on my phone yet I dont have it here, and also there would have to be drivers for the USB modem to be entered, this isnt a simple task, the only one i have found is in the UMTS app from the market, and even then this doesnt work, I just want a USB modem installed, I dont want to use my phone as the WIFI defeats the purpose of having a USB modem, surely someone has done this on a stock rom
Well I did the update stuck my sim card in the device and it works well.phone calls and textswork good. In the begining itsaid 3G on the signal bar. Today I took the tablet outside my home and after an hour the 3G turned into a H. While in the H mode I can't acess the web browser but in 3G it worked well. The other issue I have is in the 3G mode netflix doesn't seem to connect. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
After doing some searching I have read that the springboard cannot do talk/text AND web bur only talk/text which really sux. So has anyone found out a way to make it possible to use all three features?

3G means base UTMS. H means HS*PA, 3,5G, standard that improves performance.
Android always switching to HS*PA, when some app requires internet connection and it's supported by network. When no apps seeking for connection Android reverts to base UMTS to improve network availability and to safe battery.
You need to check network settings. Or better contact your operator for that. Everything should work unless your operator have a problem with HS*PA.
But something tells me you are not honest with us. It didn't work for you in 3G. But you just installed Android 4 and forgot to mention that you didn't try yet mobile data on Android 4. You think that it was working in 3G because Android 3 based firmwares missed H icon, but in fact every time you connected by mobile network, device was switching into HS*PA mode without letting you know.
So there 3 points to you:
1. Check if APN is set correctly;
2. Check if you installed correct ROM that support bands of your operator (there is a lot of different versions - 301u, 301w, 302u, 303u etc);
3. Make sure HS*PA is not broken on operator side.

2. This is the rom I installed " [ROM][ICS] [UNOFFICIAL] Root-ready Huawei MediaPad/SpringBoard ICS International" doyou know of one that works with S7-303u
3. I doubt my carriers HS*PA (T-Mobile) is broken.
And why would I lie in a forum? After I installed the rom I put my cell phones sim card in the device and it was showing 3G signal. I opened the brower and it went to my home page (Google.com) I checked e-mail... after I noticed the signal turned to H icould no longer access the web in either 3G or H. Whenever I opened the browser it just goes straight to T-Mobile login and it wasn't doing it before.
Can't say anything about it further of what i've said. Don't know T-Mobile settings and don't know if 301u version would fully work on 303u. That thread says HSPA+ (or as they call it 4G) wouldn't work with 301u firmware. But theoretically HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA should work, unless T-Mobile have different set of bands.
You better ask in that thread. May be there is someone with T-Mobile experience.

Hi all. I have a new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV s-edition 2017, who got app control through wifi spot from car. However, the wifi range is horrible, so I was wondering if you guys know of any phone that can be connected to both wifi net (without internet) and same time connected to internet through cellular data (3g or 4g)
What I want:
Have a phone in car, connected to the cars wifi net (no internet) and through perhaps an app like airdroid, connect to that phone, and that way connect to the car through internet.
I have tried this with honor 7, but this so called smart phone, either is on wifi with no internet, or cellular data with internet. It will not work on both nets at same time.
Is the any android phone this would work on, or is there any workaround/hack to make this work. Surely, this has to be possible?
-Thanx, Ray

If your android running on marshmallow then there is a option in developer setting of cellular data always active. Turn that feature on and connect to mobile data and wifi simultaneously.
Ashwinirg answered the question, but I want to throw in that there are services, like Speedify, which claim some sort of "channel bonding" that merge your WiFi with your data connection to enhance your speed. I have no idea if Speedify or similar services actually work, but if you're interesting in enabling wifi + cellular data together, you might want to look into those services also.

Certain apps work if set right. It's kind of like downloading a torrent. Multiple connections work together to transfer the same file resulting in much faster speeds.

Maybe it's on auto i also can't find settings related to 5ghz.
There are no such settings. I've never seen a phone with such. it's always available by default. if you can't find it on your phone's wifi network search then it's your internet modem issue. Either your modem does not support 5ghz or some other compatibility problem.

Can you change channel frequency and see if that works? I changed mine to 44, and that seems to be working.

There are no such settings. I've never seen a phone with such. it's always available by default. if you can't find it on your phone's wifi network search then it's your internet modem issue. Either your modem does not support 5ghz or some other compatibility problem.

Other Xiaomi phones, to give as an example, redmi note 3 has an option to switch off or on 5 ghz scanning.
In fact you can select which among the two to be scanned for.
But, yes, unfortunately (according to me), Poco F1 doesn't have a switch. Both frequency wifi scanning are enabled by default.
And having an option will help us save battery.

probably why ,region locked , lol still dont understand why they do this
I just had the same issue, had the phone set to indonesia, no see any 5ghz wifi. changed locations to india and boom it can see them.
This is just f*cked up behaviour from xiaomi.
Now it make more sense, im now in Indonesia and I can't see 5g wifi unless I turn on airplane mode. Wonder why there is a region lock.
It depends on your modem if it has an AP band, 5ghz frequency. And Pocophone F1 has wifi hotspot capable of switching of AP bands from 2.4ghz to 5ghz.
pocophone f1 5G problem.. FIX!!
same problem for me. but i already fix it by enabling wps on my modem just check the box on the top of wps save it and reboot your modem.
why cant we have a seprate scaning or priority mode. do you guys know any rom for poco which has this option available?
Use Fake Gps

I can't find any setting to switch the 5Ghz Wifi ON, always 2.4Ghz.
Please help me. Gsmarena.com says the Poco F1 support 802.11ac. I check with AIDA64 the Poco has 5Ghz Wifi support.

You need to do that on the router, not the phone

I have Mi Router 4A. I set everything up, changed the channel to 44 in the router. It was automatic 149, then 157. Cool.
Yes it does detect wifi 5ghz band and have the option in hotspot
But as of my knowledge it is present only in oreo to change the hotspot to 5ghz band
