inmy Country Only Works Gsm 850, Does Anybody How To Change The Band The Htc Diamond, Cause This Phone Is A Tri Band And Works With 900 Gsm.
Can Anybody Helpme Please????
You can change the band in Comm Manager. There is a tab called Band.
And only assuming you bought the appropriate device, since if you bought the European device, then you do not have the 850 support.

Which country's running 850 mhz ... I thought that band was reserved for GSM-R (GSM Rail private network) - Or at least it is in the UK !.
I believe some countries in south america uses the 850band, and the US. It is wise to read the specs when you buy a phone. the current diamonds (european, asian) do not support 850. It would have been a quad-band band phone, not a tri-band if that was the case. There will probably be a US-version, but afaik it's not available as of now. sorry.
Im from South America, I thuoght that in my country works the 900 mhz, but only works with the 850mhz. I dont know what to do, i suppose i have to sell it on ebay cause nobody has a solution. thansk anyway
Why dont you return it to where you bought it from??...i dont know the laws of your country but if you have only had it a few days then you should be entitled to a refund as the phone is not suitable for you.

Somebody told me that there is a Software so you can change the GSM, and something abour the hardware, other guy told me about the Radio but i dont think so!!! i need some professional help please!!!
Try to flash the radio 1.00.25.05 or 1.00.25.06. I tested this two radio with VIVO Brazil that transmit on 850MHz and is working well.

You have a touch diamond, right? I have it too and also if on HTC site is wrote that diamond is tri band, with radio 1.00.25.05 and radio 1.00.25.06 is actually working as quad band GSM.
Check this post, the guy tested the quad band rom with a professional communication tester:

You have flashed the .05 radio? What carrier are you using?
im from colombia
i'm from colombia and i install the radio rom 25.05 and now is working in 850
before i installed the signal sucks with the 25.03... but now is better than never before.
i think that your need to reflash the 25.05 radio rom
Im going to try again my friend!!!!! My carrier is Movistar.
I would let you know what happens!!!!
thank you very much, i appreciatte your concern about my problem, thanks my friend!!!
it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks my friend i really appreciatte!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you rule!!!!
Hello everyone.. I'm also from Colombia and I want to give you all information about what i did in order to solve the issue of the 850mHz.
I flashed HardSPL and ROM for Radio as indicated in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 (As many people I'm using HardSPL 1.40.OliNex
and Radio 1.00.25.05 )
I also flashed a cooked ROM from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2405336&postcount=1
I did all that yesterday so I havent been able to test signal outside from Bogota, but improvement on the device and the signal reception is obvious. I also did the test of dialing *#*#364#*#* on the key pad of the phone and I saw that the phone was working on the 850mHz frequency.
I have tested the device with two different carriers... Movistar and Comcel withouyt any problem. I was hoping with Comcel to get 3G signal (due to activation of 850mHz frequency) but still does not work. Some say that is imposible due to hardware issues, some other people says that Hardware in Diamond is capable of 3G US standard.... LETS SEE!!! HOPEFULLY SOME OF THE GURUS ARE WORKING ON THIS ISSUE.
It works in Mexico
Hello there.
Hell i bought mine directly from HTC, it was shipped with a spanish ROM 1.93 and radio .05. As soon as I inserted my GSM chip it worked with no problem. We are still waiting that some Dev found the key to allow our first gen diamond to work with 3G. Because imported phone onl ywork with 3.5G at 900mhz
I am dreaming of getting the one which supports UMTS 850/1900/2100 bands.
Any news?
Nobody know it? So sad...
There is no such thing as a tri-band UMTS Diamond, all are just dual band. 850/1900 for the US Version, 850/2100 for the Australia version, and 900/2100 for the European version.
I thought I read somewhere that there is an Australian version of the Touch Diamond 120 (100 for Europe/Asia, 110 for NAM) that supports dual-band UMTS 850/2100, which should let 3G work on any continent. If someone actually has this model or can confirm, that would be great.
EDIT: Whoops, guess the guy above me posted a little faster Anyone know if an online retailer has the AUS model on sale?
Well it wouldn't work in any place that requires 900, it also wouldn't work on AT&T in certain 1900-only 3G zones. I don't know what market uses what frequency for AT&T, so I really couldn't tell you if your area will work with the 850/2100 Diamond or not.
Edit: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HTC-Touch-Di...yZ161651QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Go to ebay.com.au and search... 650 AUD = 544 USD, for perspective
I'm assuming that's the Australian version... But PM every seller before buying to confirm
in my diam100 with italian official rom I have this:
is it normal?
Yessuh, all Diamonds have it, but it doesn't work. It doesn't reflect the hardware in the device at all, standard to all devices.
My friend has a unbranded X1, but don't know if can be compatible for the 3G network in Canada or USA? Anyone knows? Or North American ROM needs to be flashed on to enable 3G compatibility with the Carriers in North American??
Thanks in advance for any inputs

This is a very vexed issue. Please read the thread on 850Mhz 3G connection.
The short answer is:
1) "unbranded X1" is irrelevant. Use Start>Settings>System>Device ID to find the actual device version, ie. X1i or X1a
2) if your friend is lucky and the Device ID is X1a, then the device is capable of connection to the US/Aus/S America/S Africa 850Mhz 3G band
3) if the Device ID is X1i, then no such luck. This is a hardware issue, not firmware
Both will connect to the 2100Mhz UMTS band which is commonly used in cities, so if your friend never ventures outside cities the X1i should work OK for 3G
I have a question on this, when SE 1st released info about X1, they mentioned that it's Quand band GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS/3G 850, 900, 1900, 2100. Why when they released it, they had to make 2 versions to support different networks? I think that this is stupid, they can do that for branded phones but not for SE unbraded phones, exactly like HTC and the HD, Diamond and Pro. We pay a lot of money for these for so at least give us full functionality... especially that these phones are more of business phones, so it's expected that people travel with these phones....or am i wrong about that?
thanks
I have an X1i in the US an it works flawless on the AT&T network with 3G (inc. HSDPA!!!)

yeah that would be great to know.. Im in LA and i was looking to get one. I know that ATT 3G works both 850 and 1900, but depending on where you are there's one band stronger than the other.
Thanks for the info man.
I really appreciated.
Does anyone know what what band is Rogers 3G running on?

Please read and search before asking...
You answer is HERE (google search, first link displayed for "wikipedia rogers 3G": the band has always been there waiting for you to read it under "Services": Rogers 3G 850MHz) so you need the X1a, the X1i won't pick that band
Sorry to bother but this has been posted before (read and search before asking)

I'm also on ATT in Colorado (Windsor/Ft. Collins area) and get 3G almost all the time. I've been all over the state and have got 3G service just about everywhere, only rolling over to Edge from time to time.
Oh and I've got an X1i.

yeah, I don't get any 3G in canada with my X1i.
I live in Vancouver BC, always in Edge.
I have had an occurence once, but only once! =[
I get HSDPA in the Dallas\Ft. Worth Area, and in Lawton, OK. Everywhere else I go I'm on Edge. And this is with a X1a on ATT.

Nobody in the US uses 2100MHz, AFAIK, and I'm pretty sure Canada follows the same frequencies.
1900, on the other hand, is supported by the X1i, which is used by AT&T, Rogers, and Bell.
The downside is that if you're unfortunate enough to use T-Mobile, the network uses 850MHz only, and you're stuck with EDGE.
man guy this is too simple to find and you open a thread for this??!!??!?! STOP CLOGGING THE FORUMS!!!!!
I know this device is 3G Networked (HSDPA 900 / 2100) for Europe.
My question is, will there be a 3G Network device version (HSDPA 850 / 1900) for America ?
I know the Europe version is hardwired for Europe and can not be converted to work in America, yes?
3G Compatible version for USA
You are right. HTC has not yet luanched this device with 3G compatibility with US operators.
Rumour: HTC is planning to launch 3G compatible(for US) device by september 2009.

why cant the usa just move in line with every other country in the world
With the Diamond 1 it could be configured to be UMTS 850. Telstra in Australia produced a ROM for the Diamond1 that was UMTS 850/2100.
Telstra run on UMTS 850 because Telstra are dodgy and want unique handsets. Other Australian providers are UMTS 2100 or UMTS 900 /2100.
I would say that the same will apply for the Diamond 2. The hardware will allow all frequencies but you will need a ROM that enables what you need. The UMTS 850 ROMs appear to be vendor rather than region specific.

The original specs(before the D2 was released) showed al 4 3G freqs. So I believe you are correct in your assumption that this can be done through rom.
hi all im new here
i got a 850/2100mhz model
is there anyway to change that to
900/2100mhz
or is it hardware

These are the frequencies of the supported networks, not the CPU frequency.
Cellular_Networks: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS2100
with friendly greet
starbase64
to elaborate on what was said above, those frequencies pertain to your radio which is hardware dependent. You cannot change them in any way on the HD.
Model T8282 is 900 mhz
Model T8285 is 850 mhz
Unfortunately it is hardware dependent and cannot be changed. You might however find some users who purchased the T8282 by mistake and wish to swap with you... I know many users were upset that 3G wouldn't work on their phones due to the frequency... Just a suggestion...

its werid im looking at the model no its saying T8282 is the 900/2100 model ur saying but it goes on 3g telstra 850mhz but not 3g optus or vodafone 900mhz unless im reading ur post wrong or something i flash it to get rid of telstra junk unless i did something wrong
if you have the telstra version, I agree, my pc recognises the phone as a t8282, but it is the t8285 as the 3g is working in my 850MHz band freq.
oh ok so the info in start/ settings/system/device information/identity in the phone is normal
