Hello
My 850 WCDMA band will not stick after a reboot. I have to go into *#*#0011#*#* everytime and set the bands. Any way to make it stick?
Thanks in advance.

Are you able to verify you can use the 850 band when it is selected before a reboot?
My phone is from UK orange. my phone has great signal at home and office.
However, after I upgraded to Froyo JPO version firmware, my phone has signal in my office with 3G but has no signal at home and some other places where the 3g signal is weak or not working. This is very annoying. Please anyone can help me?
My original firmware: JP5/JP3/JP1
My current firmware: XXJPO/XXJPP/XAJPO
MY Production code: I9000HKDORA
Tonight I try to flash lots of versions from samfirmware.com but there is no signal for all firmwares.
Please can anyone help me? It seems that my current wersion does not support 2G signal???
Thanks in advance
can you check your IMEI in the phone (settings>about phone>status) and compare it with the IMEI indicated in the box (or remove teh battery and there should be a sticker at the back of teh phone with your IMEI).
Note: Also check if your APN settings are correct and complete. It might have been deleted or changed after the flash.
I have checked the imei, it is the same. The apn is orangeinternet, I think it is correct.
When I go to somewhere, the phone can be used with symbol of 3g or E or H, but at home only signal bar shown and emergency call only.

In Settings / Wireless and network / Mobile network settings / Network mode, set to GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) and see what happens

It is GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) selected.
I remember I can only choose 3G and wireless network when I just flash the FROYO JPO firmware...
It is possible that orange are working on the network. I had similar issues a few weeks ago (I'm in the southeast) bit is now fine. You could go see your local orange guys and ask.

But I can use this sim card on the other phone, like HTC HD2, perfectly at home. Does the SGS have such bug? I am in the southwest.
try see if you have the missing 850 band bug?

I know some using bell i9000 may miss 850 band, but i am in the UK and using orange service.
Dammed, even in the london i cannot find signal sometimes
Anyone knows where to download the orange customed firmware: I9000BVJM5/BVJM1/RAJM3?
Thank you!
Does N1 have 3.5G capability?
If not, is it possible to add that capability via Android upgrade?
Sorry if my question is too noobishly.

It is. Incredibly so.
3.5G = HSDPA
HSDPA is on pretty much any phone that's been released in the past few years.
>_>
Thanks.

can any one help me to change 3g to H or 3.5G please when i connect the same data line to computer its HSPA connection but on my nexus one its not.
hello i dont want to root my phone
thank you
Unfortunately, without rooting your phone, you can't get HSPA differentiation. That's actually a big draw for many people in order to root and load someone's ROM.
The reason for this is that the framework-res.apk file (the file that houses the actual pictures that make up your status bar, among other things, does not include an H icon. It only has 3G for both states. At least setting it to WCDMA preferred or WCDMA only (what I use), you know that you're most likely on 3.5G.

Ok, I see some potential misunderstanding here.
Working on HSxPA isn't up to your phone - it's up to your cellular carrier. If you have HSxPA network capability - the phone will use it, because it's capable of using it. You can't make it use more or less of it, it's either used or not used.
On the other hand, the icons above may not show "H" for HSxPA, it depends on the ROM. AFAIK some European Vodafone ROMs show "H", but stock Google ROMs don't. If all you're looking for is "H" icon - then your best bet is to root and install custom ROM.
You need to root to get that icon.
Why I don't see hsdpa option while using #*#*4636#*#* only wcdma

Thanks mate for your reply I will never root my Nexus one

Why not its so easy? Warrenty?
Err sorry. I wasn't clear enough. What I meant was that you may be in HSPA but it won't say it unless you load a custom ROM.
Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Status Under network type, you should see HSDPA.
Threads Merged.
Two topics right next to each other asking the exact same question. Next time, please look for similar threads / use the search function.
Thank you.
I might if I had two phones but I don't and I can't afford

You can't lock the phone on HSDPA, and you don't want to even if you could.

Did you try going to Settings -> About Phone -> Status and then looking for Network Type? There is where you should see HSDPA if available. My Nexus One on Tmo US showed it even before I rooted and enabled HSPA differentiation (the icon showing H instead of 3G when on HSPA).

Not true, you just need a modified framework-res.apk
Yes. It shows hsdpa in settings but not info where we set the network thanks

Is there any way to get a 2g/3g switch toggle switch built or made? I have enabled only the 850 mhz wcdma and gsm bands on my phone and would like to have an easy way of switching between the two. Any help would be appreciated.
Im running darkys rom with jl3 modem and onix kernal.

What about the apps in the Market to toggle 2g/3g ?? I did a quick search and I saw 5 or 6 right off... not sure if that is what u r looking for though. There are free and paid apps for u to choose from.
Is there some type of test/hidden menu I can log into to check if I am using the AWS Band on my HTC One?
Just some background information, I'm currently using T-Mobile area that has also been refarmed as well. I'm using a stock sense rom. On a Samsung phone, I know there was a hidden menu using the dialer that would show me what band i'm currently on.
Any ideas anyone?
