i9000 has 850/1900 MHz 3g support? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Someone at my workplace is selling me his galaxy s but the model is not i9000 , its i9000l , i really wanted to buy the i9000 because thats the model most roms are build for , my provider uses 850/1900 MHz for 3g , does the original i9000 has support for 850/1900 MHz or do i have to buy the i9000l?

The international version doesn´t support 850 but it does support 1900.

What service provide are you with?
If Telstra you reeeeeeally want 850MHz operation.

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

[Q] Change Galaxy S modem to US Frequencies?

No, you'll need to go with a carrier like T-Mobile who support the same frequencies as the international version (I assume, I haven't checked them recently).
T-Mobile has a 2100 MHz band but it's paired with 1700 MHz for AWS so I'm not sure if that would actually work.
The 1900 MHz band would get reception from AT&T, although only in areas where they're using 1900, probably in the city.
That's just for 3G though. If you don't need 3G then T-Mobile and AT&T are both GSM carriers.
you will have 2g coverage with at&t and tmobile, and some 3g with at&t, when you have wcdma 1900 coverage... that's about it
I suck at knowing these radios. But, if you are visiting friends, what you can try to do is borrow their sims from different carriers for 5 minutes and see what works in the area(s) you visit. Just an out of the box thought.
AT&T is using 850/1900MHz 3G/UMTS bands (if i'm not mistaken),
i9000 international version supports 3G/UMTS 900/1900/2100 MHz, 850MHz not included.
so I think you are not able to use the 3G network, but the GSM should be working find although it's much slower.
Yup
That's why us USA folks have to wait for either a USA or Australian Variant of the device.
Thanks a lot for all your replies! I was hoping Samsung would be lazy and build the same radio in all of it's devices. Guess I was wrong. Still, thanks a lot, I'll see how well it works with 2G.
Is there still no way to change the UMTS band on European Galaxies so they work in the US?
Nope. You would have to hardware mod the phone.
They already do on 1900 att and thats that

I know this is an old thread, but I was looking for information about what modems are for what phones and came across it and thought that as an AT&T customer, I should clarify some information.
Most of AT&T 3G network uses 1900 MHz. AT&T is also "overlaying" 850 MHz over their existing 1900 MHz to increase capacity. There may be some 850 MHz only locations, but I am not aware of any. For the most part, if your phone supports UMTS1900, you should be able to get 3G anywhere that AT&T's map shows 3G availability.

if you bought a i9000m from canada. you can use UGKC1 or UGJL2 modem to enable 850
im currently on at&t using i9000m with ZSJPG modem with 850mhz enabled
Just 1900Mhz isn't all that great, kinda slow and spotty. Don't get me wrong, it's usable, but 850 is significantly faster/better at least where I live.
I have an I9000M but occasionally use a modem without 850, and it's not as good.
While there are roundabout ways to get 850 on other modems, I usually use one of the Bell ones like JL2 or KC1.
I am using jl2. kc1 did not work reliably with my microcell and would instead keep trying to pull in weak signal thus sucking battery. As for 850mhz only.. most of the I93 corridor on new England is 850mhz only.

It's not paired. It's a single band that uses 1700 MHz for upload and 2100 MHz for download. Just like the international 2100 Mhz band uses 2100 MHz for download and 1900 MHz for upload.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
So just to clarify, my stock i9000m, running 2.3.3 and UGKG3 will get 3G in southern California on both the 850 and 1900 bands? UGKG3 can use both bands?

[Q] Samsung i9000 variant for USA and Thailand?

I'm looking to purchase a Galaxy S next month. I live in the USA, but I travel to Thailand every year. I'd like to get one phone that will work on both AT&T and AIS for both voice and data. (3G on both would be great!) While traveling in Thailand, I really want to be able to tether my netbook through the phone.
Anyone have recommendations as to which Galaxy S I should get?
over in Europe + Asia they only have 1 model
they all come with triband 3G WCDMA 900/1900/2100
and quad band Voice/EDGE 850/900/1900/2100
so you wont go wrong in getting any Galaxy S as "There Is Only One" (hmmm... sounds which movie was it from?)
unless you get the wrong Galaxy Lite, or Galaxy 5000 series, or Galaxy 8000 series or Galaxy 7000 series
My concern is the 3G WCDMA 850MHz vs 900 MHz for data. I know that AT&T uses 850 MHz, but AIS in Thailand is using 900 MHz. While it's true that 3G is just starting to roll out in Thailand (limited coverage and all), I would like to get a phone that I'll be able to use when they do get it all covered.
If I get an unlocked Captivate for use on the AT&T network, would putting in a sim from AIS automatically switch the 3G WCDMA over to the 900 MHz band (if available)?
Or is the radio hardware-fixed on this? (I've searched for an answer on this, but can't find a straight answer.)
there is no phone with both 850 and 900 3g...
I think your only chance for a 3G phone that works in both USA and Thailand is the Captivate. True Move in Thailand has 3G on 850mhz, which the Captivate uses.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I guess the GSM radio is separate from the 3G CDMA radio (since the GSM can do both 850 and 900).

I'll be traveling to Trat and Koh Chang. True doesn't have coverage there as far as I can tell.
Anyway, thanks for the info!
i would buy the i9000m from canada or the i9000t or i9000b from south america b4 the captivate.. captivate.. has poor 3g upload, and no front camera.

As far as I can tell, there's no 3G coverage in Trat and Koh Chang from any operator in Thailand. You'll only get GPRS/EDGE coverage there.

Which galaxy s should i buy ? i9000t or i9000?

The 3g for my provider works in 1900 mhz , so which galaxy s do i need to buy ? i9000t or i9000?
Don't need either s straight I9000 euro model works with 1900 3g as will either of those models . But the 9000m has SD problems so don't get that.

Do you value more the 850 MHz band or the 900 MHz?
Also it depends on the price

Well I guess you are in America so I would buy the i9000t to get 850 MHz support. You don't know if you provider will deploy on the 850 MHz one day.
Also, if you want to switch provider, chances are that the other provider use both 850 and 1900 MHz.
Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UMTS_networks#Americas
The 900 MHz band would be more useful in Europe.

[Q] A853 Telus Milestone in Australia (NextG)?

Hi,
Can anyone confirm that the Telus Milestone works properly on the Telstra NextG network?
My replacement phone just arrived from Expansys and instead of sending my original UK Milestone back they sent me a sealed Telus one.
There is so much conflicting information regarding the Telus Frequencies so I need your help.
I need to confirm'
1. The Telus Milestone is quadband GSM
2. The 3G Frequencies 850/1900 will work on Telstra's NextG Network or Vodafone's new 850MHz Network.
Here's your answer to the frequencies I believe: http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=116420
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid
"US Version: dual band CDMA2000/EV-DO Rev. A 800/1900 MHz
European version quad band GSM, UMTS @ 900/2100MHz
N.A. GSM version quad band GSM, UMTS @ 850/1900 MHz"
Both Telus and Latin America (not Mexico) Milestones have 3G over 850/1900/2100 MHz frequencies. You probably will need to manually enter the APN settings for your provider if you will use Tellus stock rom. If you provider uses 900MHz for its 3G network, then it will not work.
