I had an 1Xi it broke, sent it into SE here in the US. They could not fix it so they sent me a new phone today an X1A. The phone says X1A on the sticker behind the battery. But everywhere else on the phone it says X1i
Phone name is Xi1, Rom says Generic_UK
and i only get H connection on my 3g att sim.
What can i do ??
Does this even matter as i am planning on dowloading some of the custom roms here
Same here says x1i instea od x1a while I ahve x1a replaced
this is really really weird.
But the question does it matter what rom phone comes with if one is going to flash a new rom to it anways ?

Does not really matter as you can flash any ROM that you want to try. I suggest that you try reading the tutorial on how to flash ROM's before proceeding. Have fun!

Well, you will only find out which one works for you once you try the ROM's cooked in theis forum. I suggest that you try the one created by Agent_47. For me, and at the moment, it's one of the fastest and most stable ROM so far. Try this link and download version 2.9 FS-G. If that does not work, you can try others. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512050

Sorry but could not help you there. I did not back-up my ROM when i first flash my device. If, for some reason, you do not want the cooked ROM that you flash, there is always an available original ROM on this forum.
and H connection under 3G icon place is showing you have HSDPA connected, what is alot faster then 3G
So from what everyone is saying it does not matter LOL
especailly with me putting custom roms in the phone.
Just funny how SE cant get their crap together and give u wrong rom with a phone model.
But what i dont get is the X1i and Xia has different hardware right. So how do does the same rom wrong on both models, regarding getting 3g. As in the usa we have different band from the rest of the world. Would that not mean u would need to download a custom rom that supports x1A ?? i dont see any roms out there that says they are for x1a or x1i.
Whoa hold on there. It certainly does matter if you had an X1a and they gave you an X1i! For ROMs it does not matter. They are interchangeable between the two. But it does matter in terms of network coverage.
First, to explain the H, UMTS is 3G. HSDPA and HSUPA are upgrades for downlink and uplink speeds to UMTS. Is you have both HSDPA and HSUPA, it is then just said that you have HSPA in which case you will see 'H' instead of '3G'. HSPA is sometimes called 3.5G.
ATT uses 1900mhz for 3G in some places and 850mhz in others, though most of the time it is 1900mhz. The X1i supports 3G on 1900mhz but NOT on 850mhz. The X1a supports both. So with an X1i there are some places that may have 3G and you wont get it. It sounds like 3G is on 1900mhz in your area so you see no difference but if you want to get 3G everywhere ATT has is you need your 'a' back. I have ATT and an X1i and dont mind. I get 3G in hampton roads and northern VA, as well as in NY. I am satisfied. Hopefully they will roll it out here in bburg soon (I was told by the store rep when I signed up that it would come this year) and hopefully on 1900mhz. YMMV.
*edit*
Looks like I read it wrong. You had an 'i' and they gave you an 'a'? Not such a disadvantage there but there is another issue. The X1i is capable of 30fps VGA video recording while the 'a' can only do 15fps and QVGA (due to a lawsuit on Qualcomm in the US; their video compression technology infringed on Broadcomm's IP). So advantages and disadvantages to each.
So physically i have XiA
i guess at the repair center they screwed up and installed the generic_uk rom.
So its better to have H, then the 3g logo? I live in houston texas and when i had my old x1i it also said H.
So when i install a custom rom this weekend(firestom 2.9 looks great)
I will still have an H instead of the 3g logo?

Yes H is better than 3G. On most phones with stock/carrier branded ROMS, the H symboly is disabled so that even if you have HSPA you will still see a '3G' icon. This is done because customers may not know what 'H' means and therefore may complain that they are not getting 3G coverage. Most custom ROMs leave the 'H' logo enabled.
So I take it you are sticking with the X1a? It is a toss up for me. I used to have t-mobile which does not have 3G on 1900 or 850 so it did not matter which X1 I got. I therefore opted for the one with better video recording. Now I switched to ATT. I get 3G signal in all the 3G covered areas that I have visited. As long as 3G here in Blacksburg (where I spend most of the year) comes in the 1900 flavor Ill keep my 'i'.

I couldn't help myself. This phone seems perfect so i ordered a diamond that will arrive tommorow. Now my question is if anyone thinks the bands for US are present and need to be unlocked or if this will end up on ebay . Thanks!
There's several topics about it there.
You won't get any 3G in the US with it, and you'll only be able to use the 1900 band for voice/GPRS/EDGE.
Actually you are incorrect. 1900 Mhz is supported w/3G w/AT&T in certain areas. Unfortunately my Diamond is not even getting an EDGE connection. From what I am hearing the Diamond is only supporting 2100Mhz frequency w/3G according to HTC. Which to me makes no sense.. I am blogging my experience with it as it is the first production unit in the USA.
You just said i was incorrect and correct in the same paragraph lol
This is where all the confusion starts.. For GSM/GPRS/EDGE it does 900/1800/1900 MHz - only 1900 would work in the US. For UMTS (3G) it only does 900/2100 - neither of these frequencies are used in the US.
The protocols and modulation used are completly different for GSM/GPRS/EDGE vs UMTS. The dispersal of uplink and downlink frequencies is completly different. Just because it can do 1900 for GSM doesnt mean it should do 1900 UMTS.

You should get edge. Edge is an extention of GPRS but requires a different BTS (radio tower) setup. Its possible you don't have a strong enough signal, but it sounds like your confident you should have edge in that area.
The only thing i can suggest it to try in a different area - like the centre of town. Also, confirm your APN is setup corectly, the [G] may just be telling you GPRS is available, but not that you can attach.
I know with my elfin it takes a little stronger signal to initiate the Edge icon the first time (ie. after a hard reset). I can't get an edge signal inside my office but once I walk outside for a minute or two, bam I have it. Then when I go inside I still have it.

Diamond had UMTS(2100)+GSM(900+1800),UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900),UMTS(800+2100),UMTS(850+2100)+GSM(900+1800),UMTS(850)+GSM(900+1800) and UMTS(1700) depend what rom you had in your Diamond and where you bought your Diamond , At&T should be show 3G in US and T-mobile used 3G (1700 Mhz) in New York area
The platform in the phone can support all those bands, so you might be able to see them (like in the test rom) but the antennas are not there. So you won't actually be able to pick up a signal.

I guess all of us US early adopters must hope the hardware is there and can be enabled with a future flash.
T-mobile in the US uses 1900mhz for GSM/Edge and only has 3g in NYC, so I'm figuring that it's a cool stop-gap device until something is available for T-mobile 3G.
so anyone have the rom that had thoose bands....
confused
so im a little confused.... If I buy a diamond on ebay, it wont work in the US? or 3g just wont work? does the diamond accept a sim card?
On AT&T it will give you only GPRS! On Tmobile (NEW) it shows EDGE!! I dont understand this at all!

Voice and EDGE will work just fine as long as you are in a major area that uses 1900 band. You might have weak or no signal when you are in smaller rural areas since those usually extend into the 850 band.
You will not be able to use 3G since the Diamond only supports 900/2100, neither of which are used by AT&T
It looks like if you have ATT you are hosed for both voice and data, as most of ATT voice and data (Edge) is 850mhz. Most if not all of T-mobile voice-data-Edge is 1900mhz so you will have at least Edge. If you're looking for 3g data you're SOL until the US version of the diamond is released.

I don't think HTC cares about America too much any more because it's iPhone territory. As they haven't used their own branding until recently, I think HTC are looking to gain market control and loyalty, and that's easiest where the iPhone hasn't been a huge success.

Again, HTC seem to like doing exactly what Apple are not doing, so they may go for multiple carriers. As far as I'm aware the Touch Diamond, and its branded versions, are launching on every network in the UK. That's the complete opposite of Apple's 'one network per country' policy, and they consequently seem to have dropped it (for example, in Italy).
AGREED 100%!! I have been saying this on my podcast for quite a while.. It is a huge mistake. I am now saying since I just received my Diamond that I took one for the team.. I will post my review as the days go by...

Hi everyone--
I have an unmodded, "unlocked" at&t tilt that has a t-mobile gsm sim chip in it. I'm still running the WM6 that came in it, and can't seem to get access to the 3G speeds I know this thing is capable of. I've tried numerous software apps to "force" the phone to go 3G, to no avail. T-Mobile customer "support"--HAA! tells me I need a t-mobile phone to be able to take advantage of the 3G speeds. Needles to say, I feel this is a bunch of malarkey. T-Mobile put out this phone, did they not, and called it the "MDA Vario III"? Is there a rom for the mda that I could flash this thing with so I could get the 3G speeds? Or another rom perhaps? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the malarkey is the truth! Because T-Mobile runs its 3G network on a different band than the Tilt is capable of! Sorry, this also effects me as I am a T-Mobile customer using a Tilt as well! My advice is to use Opera mini 4.2 for your internet browsing it is very fast on the Edge network!
The T-Mobile you refer to is European
It does not run on the same 3G as the US T-Mobile. The US T-Mobile uses 1700 Mhz and 2100 Mhz, I believe. The Tilt does not use the 1700 Mhz band. There was a rumor going around that there would be a new version of the Kaiser (KAIS140) that would use the US T-Mobile 3G bands but it was never released for sale. I don't think it will since it is pretty much at the end of the life cycle of the phone. They (HTC) have moved on to newer models with more features. If you would like to use the US 3G and live in an area with 3G, The T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream) uses T-Mo 3G and has its own section on this forum.
bleh. newer models should still freaking tilt. that is the coolest thing about this phone. and it's pretty solid construction. my friend has had his over a year and its still going strong.

I thought the Tilt accessed 3G through it's tri band frequencies 850/1900/2100Mhz so that it could connect to most 3G networks worldwide, making it a world business tool for users?

True but T-Mobile uses the 1700 for upload and 2100 for download. ATT uses 1900 for both.
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??

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!!!)

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

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 have recently ordered an x1a and was doing some reading preparing on what rom I will flash, then it dawned on me that my favorite rom; EnergyRom is actually made for a x1i...
I was trying to find out if it will be ok to flash the roms made for a x1i on a x1a.
And would the 850Mhz and 1900MHz 3g bands both still work.
And would that allow it to record video at [email protected]?
Since i heard that x1a's are limited to [email protected], or [email protected]
anyone?... I can't belive this question has never come up.
Yes the rom will work fine on it.

Yes you will keep 850MHz and 1900MHz
No it does not allow 30fps recording
Both are hardware designed so rom can't change them
Yes. As Mopral said. Alas, most killer ROMs here and elsewhere are for X1i. But that hasn't stopped us X1a owners to use or enjoy them.
thanks all, i knew it would work, but i was hoping to make sure that my umts bands were using both 850 and 1900.
I have started another thread asking for a way to test these bands individually to make sure the 850mhz works, and that te x1i rom hasn't disabled it.
aren't the radio things cleared / defined by the radio rom u use?
Hi,
I bought my HTC diamond in the US, but live in europe.
Obviously, I can't connect to the 3g network here.
Is there anything I could do? If I install European ROM will it work?
if so - which ROM should I install?
My current ROM - 1.93.422.4 WWE, 08/13/08
Thanks for your help,
Mike
It is not about the ROM but the hardware of the Diamond. There are different hardware revisions. Go to bootloader and check what you have.
It is something like DIAM100
Diam110, 64m, spl-1.93.0000
anything i can do?
thanks man!

Most european diamonds are diam100 i think, you need to check what bands you diamond supports then check the bands the network/s you wanna use, use for there 3G/HSDPA Services, see if any are compatible
how do i check which bands my diamond supports?
I just had a look on google for you mate and this is what i came up with
The US 3G unlocked Diamond supports AT&T's 850/1900MHz HSDPA network, but not T-Mobile's US 3G bands. It is dual band 3G, so there's also no support for Euro 3G. It's a quad band GSM world phone with EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz), and that means you can make a phone call anywhere in the world GSM service is available, and you'll have access to the slower GPRS and EDGE data networks across the world. Since it's unlocked, you can use it with any carrier's SIM.
So it looks like it duznt support Euro 3G Bands, Sorry
thats a shame..
thanks anyway
thats a shame..
thanks anyway
I cant get 3G/HSDPA with orange here anyway, it dont bother me, i just steal broadband from unsecure wifi routers lol
*Double Post* Thats wot u get for stealing broadband lol
I'm in an opposites position here...
Live in the US with a European DIAM100...lol
Hello I have a European and like to trade it for a US version.
Also I'm sure like in in almost any Phones the UMTS Antenna is the same it is only limited by the Software (Radio) Big guys even on XDA developers denid that on the new Google Nexus one but HTC/Google confirmed it is ONly the "RADIO". GUess there is the whole world with one Standard and USA/ Canada with least than 6 different standards not compatibel to the rest of the World. THe Hardware guys pruduce for this development Country USA 7 extra and incompatibel HArdware version. It is haard to beleive and from any manufacture standpoint totaly inefficent.
So i would try first the regular Radios and good luck.
