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
Is there a version of the diamond that will get 3g with att us ?(850mhz band) I have seen the update that gives the 850 band but I was told it isnt for the 3g. I really want a diamond but not having 3g is gonna be a real deal breaker for me.
I've got 850MHz on 3G here with the 1.00.25.05 radio ROM which came on my device (works on Telstra NextG here in Australia which is 850MHz HSDPA).
really? I just read where the fcc just passed the us version of the diamond for the 850 band on hsdpa. Anyone else can confirm they are getting 3g with there diamond in the us?

No I did not, I have the UK version. The Australian version isn't available for another few weeks.
no it is out now but only in certain telstra stores...
so how do you know you are operating on the 3g 850Mhz band???
what radio and firmware are you using?
i want my next g speeds!
I know I'm on the 850MHz band as that's what Telstra NextG uses (with HSDPA). As I said above, radio version is 1.00.25.05 and ROM is WWE 1.93.405.1. All this info is in my signature as well.
3G on ATT
I just got my Diamond Touch today and it came with the
RADIO: 1.00.25.05
ROM: 1.93.456.2 WWE Dated (7/10/08)
O/S: CE 5.2.19965 (Build 19965.1.2.3)
I'm only getting (E)dge on AT&T
No (G) or (H)
My upgraded TILT/TYN II connects to G3 and H at my location here in Los Angeles.
I hope someone figures out a way to get at least a G3 and 850Mhz radio.
Does it just need to be unlocked ??

Hi#
In another thread somone posted that Telstra uses 850mhz for its 3g network and 2100mhz for its joint 3g venture with 3. I'd be happy though if they used 850/900mhz for 3g in the uk though
I am totally confused here, Everything that I have read says that there is no way that the diamond's that are currently out there has the 850 band hsdpa. No software update is suppose to give it the hsdpa band because it lacks the HARDWARE. I know that the gprs band of 850 is able, is it possible that you are connecting to some other band of 3g in your area? I really wanna buy a diamond but I dont wanna be stuck with this phone and not be able to use 3g in my area (us) PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE SHED SOME LIGHT HERE. There are people in this thread that say it dont work and then there are people that are saying it does, thanks for any help
Not true. It's not a hardware issue, it's radio issue.
After you get the diamond and flash that radio there is a setting to change the band. I don't remember it though T.T
can someone confirm that i can use the diamond on us 3g band (850) by just a new radio and setting?
She's probably getting the 2100mhz HSDPA band in AUS unless she's edited the radio, the phone is only capable of 900/2100mhz HSDPA right now. Here's the killer... The Touch Pro just passed FCC... And no HSDPA/UMTS/WCDMA whatsoever. No 3G.
Now that there's an official TmoUS device out with the new 3G radio, is it now possible to swipe, modify, and apply to HD? I remember a thread about someone being told by an htc rep that the special bandwidth used by the new 3G that Tmobile uses in the US was strictly software and not hardware. If so, can that radio can possibly be ported to the HD and allow for 3G reception in the US. Everyone chime in with your thoughts.
from what I have read, its hardware related.
the ROMs I'm using do not have the 850MHz band for 3G, yet when I select Auto, it will roam onto the 850 band automatically.

It is hardware the t8282 doesn't have the 850mhz amplifiers, the t8285 does, which is why nerd1 can pick up the 850 band.

i'm not for sure, but, i don't believe you will. if i recall, T-Mo USA uses the 1700/2100 bands. by the way, which HD model do you have: the T8282 or the T8285?
I have the T8282 model

so have you tried your phone with a T-Mo 3G sim? i recall reading that T-Mo must grant 3G access to 3G subscribers (certainly could have misinterpreted what i read). it's my understanding that both the T8285 and T8282 models have active 2100 bands. this being the case, you'd think one could at least get 3G service on the 2100 band.
No T-mobile 3g
Both models do not support USA 3g T-mobile.
OK Thanks, I was hoping someone on here cooked up somrthing to make it work.
Unfortunately not.

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
