Telstra Rom please in the US.

Hey gusy I just got my Aussie HD with 3G on 850mhz but I think I crapped it up. I did a hard spl then went to a custom rom and now I have no 3g when I did before. Can anyone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

it would help if you tell us what custom ROM you used AND if that ROM included a Radio. if it didn't include a radio, you should be ok... also, can you get an internet connection? did try going into Phone->Menu->Options->Band Tab->and select WCDMA for GSM and the 850/1900 UMTS band -> click OK and then see if you get a signal? these answers may help us solve your issue.

OK so I found the telstra rom and what back to it. Still could not get 3G. But with that rom I did at least have the 850mhz as an option under settings, phone, band. I was for sure that Houston had the 850mhz but I could be wrong. So now I am on Rom version: 1:19:831:0 (25581) Radio 1.10.25.25. Let me try changing those settings like you suggested. Is your reception good up there in Dallas?

my reception in dallas depends on my location... at home i usually get a solid EDGE signal. i'll get a stronger 3G signal if i go outside. conversely, here in KC, i have a solid 3G signal everywhere i go. so what ROM did you flash to your phone? and did you flash a Radio ROM as well?

Not every area in the US is covered by the 3G 850mhz bandwidth by at&t. I wish the online retailers would put. May work in North America. I'm sure if you traveled around the state a bit you would find that your phone gets 3G in some areas.
I also have the option to select 850 and 1900 GSM & 3G in the settings.

May I ask what rom & radio you are using? The original Telstra rom & radio show under settings, phone, options, bands the 850 spectrum and a bunch of different combinations. I hate the tf3d on the telstra rom because it is loaded with all of there carrier stuff but I want 3G. It seems that when I change roms even if I keep the same original radio I lose all those band spectrums under settings, phone, options, bands. What would you suggest?

Well right now I went bacl to the telstra rom & radio because I seem to lose bands if I change rom even keeping radio the same. May I ask what rom & radio you are running?

i'm running Dutty's 2.1 ROM with the new Manila. i had the same thing happen to me: one minute the Band Tab (under phone settings) are there and the next they're gone. there are 2 fixes i use when this happens: (a) simply soft-reset and they appear or (b) use a registry editor to goto HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting and then change the setting for ShowUMTSBandPage to 1. Sometimes i have to change the other Show****Page seetings as well. right now, my device is set to Auto for BandType and Network Type and i'm getting the H symbol everywhere i go in Kansas City. i know that once i get back to Dallas, the same settings will cause my signal to vasolate between H and E depending on where i am, e.g., at home it will likely be E. if you didn't flash a different radio, you should be ok. like AllTheWay said, you're probably not in an area with a strong 850 3G signal.

no, Dutty's 2.1 ROM does not come with a radio. what ROM did you flash that cuased the BandPage to disappear?

I used the newest wwwe shipped rom. But the used udk's custom RUU and placed the nbh file from the old radio back into it.

Hey guys, I am considering getting the telstra version HD soon, I was just wondering what do I need to do to set up the phone for ATT, or is it good to go out of the box?
Also will all the phone features function normally with ATT? Thanks for any input.
Also wondering if i have read this thread correctly, as long as I do not change the radio and only upgrade the ROM after HardSpl, then I should keep the 850mhz 3g?

Same here I have a european version of HD. What do I need to install to get the 850 3G on ATT ? please advice

you need another phone, a.k.a., the Telstra Touch HD. you will not be able to get 850 3G with the UK version of the Touch HD.

the telstra hd (T8285) is good to go on AT&T and Tmobile in the US....
straight out of the box...
another question i have is that i have the EURO HD. (t8282)..
in the BAND TAB (under phone settings) i have the options
UMTS (850 +1900) +GSM (850+1900)
does this mean that my phone will get 3g on an 850 MHZ network?
like AT&T or telstra in australia?
cheers

[Q] Is there any possible way to get 2.2 and retain the UMTS 850 band?

I have a bell i9000m and i am yearning for some frozen yogurt. I have tried previous 2.2 builds and they install fine but because i require a 2.2 modem i lose the UMTS 850 band. In my area, i REQUIRE it.
Am i SOL or am i missing something. I have been creeping the devolpment forum since i got the phone a month ago and i have still not found a solution. My guess is that i have to wait until a N/A verison of froyo is released with a compatible 2.2 modem but i have hope! Thanks!

even if you enable Combi bands it doesn't work?

[Q] Changing the Radio Frequencies on a Samsung GT-I9000

Phone Radio Compatibility Details Requested (both general and US T-mobile specific)
I have been doing a lot of researching regarding this phone and all of its cousins as well as how they will operate on the various US carriers. I have the following requirements for my next phone purchase:
1) Must be an Android device
2) Must have front facing camera (for international video calls to relatives)
3) Must be GSM (for compatibility with local prepaid SIM cards when traveling)
As AT&T and T-mobile are the only two carriers in the US (the only two viable ones at least, I don't know if any smaller carriers use GSM) and I refuse to renew my contract with AT&T that narrows it down to one option.
I have been researching the different carrier frequencies, both what they are and why they are different. It seems T-mobile decided to be special and as a result it is nearly impossible to get a T-mobile high speed compatible phone unless you purchase it from them directly. I almost want to call that evil, but it is easy to believe that is just a bad side effect rather than the intent.
Anyways, as we all know the Galaxy S has been severely nerfed by everyone except for Sprint. If Sprint only had a GSM phone that I could use internationally I would pick up their model, but alas it is not. I will not purchase the Vibrant because it lacks the front facing camera. My last option is the unlocked Galaxy S available abroad unless I am missing something.
Most of the online retailers I have seen all list different band frequencies and not even all of them have it divided into 2G/3G frequencies. I have some specific questions, but if you have any useful information for me I would appreciate it.
Question 1: Do the online retailers just suck, or are there truly many different frequency bands for the unlocked Galaxy S?
Question 2: Does anyone know of a Galaxy S phone that is fully compatible with T-mobile in the US (not the Vibrant, I need the front facing camera)? If not, would it be good enough?
Question 3: The radio bands I have ready about are usually divided into 2G and 3G categories. Is the phone radio physically divided into one for 2G and another for 3G, or is it the same radio and those are the frequencies USUALLY used by the different speeds? If I see the appropriate T-mobile high speed frequencies listed under 2G, would that mean the radio is in fact compatible with the T-mobile 3G because the radio can talk on that frequency, or is the hardware actually different and unable to comprehend the 3G speeds?

Bumping my own thread and also wondering if anyone has any recommended vendors to buy the international Galaxy S in the United States.

i bought mine from handtec.co.uk and it is working ok..
beware though that at&t unfort. in my error has been slowly getting rid of 1900 3g and more 850 3g which does not work on the phone..
at least at home the microcells are 1900 3g.

Radio chip/antennae changes?
It seems the internal Galaxy's electronics is all the same or modular. Is there a chance to take the radio module out of T-Mobile body and put it into the Sprint's nice hardware? How easy it is to obtain the desired component?

[Q] Which CSC (Phono/radio) version will give the best results?
I'm wondering what CSC-version (Or is it the Phone/Modem?) will give the best results in The Netherlands with Vodafone as telecom provider, or maybe... where can i find the stock version of the radio (and is it possible to use it with a root?)
I'm using Froyo (I9000XXJPC) - Rooted, but I'm wondering if my connection isn't worse since updating, I believe my 3G/HSDPA is weaker since then.
Anyone the same problem?

I also have the same problem, but already since upgrading to jm1 trough KIES.
I think we need a i9000XEN CSC.

Is the "i9000XEN CSC" the stock one?

I'm not on JPC but changing from JM3 to JP2 (modem) actually makes my GSM signal and wifi sort of worse, dropping 1-2 bars at the exact same location compare to JM5

CSC has NOTHING to do with reception or 3g whatsoever... its just branding stuff and APN etc...
the MODEM file is the one you need to look out for!
Right now i'm on JM1 (rev03) with the appropriate modem file and i have no problem whatsoever!

You sir, are wrong.
I have a Bell I9000M and flashed the new HK JP2 Froyo to it. I lost my 850mhz UMTS Band. I then flashed back to stock JH2, including the modem and still no band. The only thing that fixed it was doing the *#272*xxxx# CSC select. Once I did that, bingo, 850MHZ Reception.
I know what you're saying SHOULD be correct, but unfortunately, it is not.

I'm still correct! CSC contains carrier costumizations. Which also can contain settings to ENABLE the 850mhz radio band!

So, enabling/disabling a band doesn't have anything to do with reception?
So, when I get no reception because I'm in an 850MHZ ONLY area, which is disabled by the CSC. The CSC has nothing to do with it? I don't see the logic there, but alright.

You can use whatever CSC you want as long it enables the 850MHz band. It doesnt matter what CSC...
Modem file is the one that contains the drivers for the radiochip etc... A better modem file means that you can get higher 3G/Wifi speeds or even have better reception.
The CSC only contains the setting to enable the band.. nothing more nothing less

Which was wrong. No service due to CSC = No Reception. Plain and simple. You can argue what you meant all day, it's not what you said.
I'm done with this. I apologize to the OP for having this thread turn into this childishness.
Have a good day.

BackfireNL is right. Selecting a CSC indicates which band/frequency the radio will use according to the place you are.

Uhh, that's what I said, disagreeing with his "CSC has NOTHING to do with reception" comment.
Just so you two know, the actual Merriam-Webster definition of reception is:
"the act or action or an instance of receiving"
CSC not allowing 850MHZ = No Reception.
If you're taking about small increases/decreases in quality of reception, then absolutely yes, CSC has no effect. But that is not what was stated.

Confused...
Okay... thanx, both of you!
I've learned a lot new thinks...
Finally... I understand that I must use the Modem file if I have issues with the reception of the 3G network, but which version should give me the best results for my provider (Vodafone/Netherlands) and the new Froyo (JPC), and where can I get that modem file?

The Radio Chip in the SGS
ht tp://ww w.triquint.com/prodserv/more_info/proddisp.aspx?prod_id=TQM6M9014
(remove spaces)
That is the chip, now if I understand that right, it is a Pentaband radio. So that would mean it is all locked out in software.
No?

Users in the U.S., What Radio are you using?
I am running CFLagFix1.60(StockXXJF3) and using AT&T.
Everything works fine, except for a weak signal.
I can receive and make calls, but at times have calls dropped.
My home is in an area where there is a weak signal.
I am not try to get 3G, just a stronger signal.
May not be possible, but worth a try.
Signal is fine when not at home.
I have tried the following Radios without boosting the signal.
MODEM_I9000XXJF3.tar
I9000UGJH2-Modem
MODEM_I9000XXJP2.tar
bell_I9000_radio - No signal with the bell_I9000_radio
Any suggestions, or is it a lost cause?​

Is this a haiku?
PS It would help telling us what carrier you are using it on.

[Q] No 3G, just Edge, why?

Got an used Captivate on eBay, came with kernel 2.6.35.13 Glitch v13.1, MIUI 2.2.17, Android 2.3.7 and modem UGJK4
Well, Captivate radio specs for 3G: HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
My operator (TIM) uses 2100 in my city, excellent until now!
But, I'm stuck in EDGE, can't get it to connect any faster. We have other phones here got from England, Ireland and USA, all of them support 2100 and 3G works perfectly, but not this Captivate.
Already tried the following modems: UGKG3, XXJTV, XXJVU and currently on UGJL2.
Just after installing the UGJL2, it connected at HSDPA, but after 5 seconds changed to Edge and no (H) anymore
A weird thing, I tried another operator chip (VIVO), that also operates at 2100 in my area and HSDPA is enabled normally!
Got back my chip and back to EDGE, this same chip get 3G+ (HSDPA) on a Samsung Jet, Samsung Galaxy Mini and a Samsung i550.
Everything else works perfectly, calls, GPS, wifi...
Any tips?
Thanks!

From what I know, the Captivate only gets 3G on AT&T even when unlocked. I might be wrong, but I remember reading that somewhere.

Must be a myth, I use my captivate on 850mhz in Australia 3g and hspa work perfect.
Did you try to force 2100 with service mode?
Phoned in.....

But with the other operator chip 3G works normally, at the same place where my chip also get 3G on other phone. Both are 3G+ (Hsdpa) able, but not when together. That is what makes no sense.
I would have forced in servide mode, but all the codes for service mode does not seem to work, and I've seen around the forums that MIUI don't have it...
Is there any code besides *#0011# and *#*#197328640#*#* ?
Both not work here
Thanks for the help!

MIUI and AOSP do not allow for the forcing of certain bands. You can specify what region you are in, but that's about all. To do that, use dialer code
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone setting
Menu/select service bands
That's about as good as it gets.
Hope it helps.

Yes, I've tried Automatic and Euro (same bands used here), still Edge.
The strange thing is it get 3G from the other operator, that uses the same 2100 frequency... (at leaset they say it's both 2100)
Any way to see the frequency currently in use?

My carrier uses 850 and 2100.
My wife has a captivate also, her carrier uses 900 and 2100. Of course only the 2100 works but it is solid.
Phoned in.....

Ok, I discovered that it's an area problem probably, I tried at the office and got the H on the indicator! HSPDA is working, sometimes 'came down' to 3G (concrete building, not so good signal).
That's still strange because my friend get Hspa here, with a Galaxy S (I9000b), same operator, will call them soon to ask about this.
Anyway, it works! with ridiculous speed (180kbps), but it's better then Edge at 15kbps...
Thanks everybody for the help!

[Q] Flash Rom to Different Carriers i9000t Generic

I have had a couple galaxy S I9000Ts that I have been hapily running against a small carrier in the midwest using a rom i found here for one phone and a stock samsung rom for the other. They are supposed to be international, the model is supposed to have been maufactured in trinidad/tobago. The phones take a simm card. So to make this question short and to the point. My daughter has an old Blackberry and she has service through verizon. I noticed her phone also uses a simm card. I tried putting her simm card into the phone and got no service. Would it be possible to use the phone on the verizon network with her simm card if I flashed a verizon rom onto the phone. Or would this not be possible. Would I use the Fasinate roms?
Or an even bigger question, if the phone is physically capable of using the verizon network, do I just need the verizon store to do something to make it connect to their network with the Stock Rom from Samsung.

you don't need to change ROMs, but changing modems may work or just selecting the Network under settings and having the correct APN and SMSC settings will do , but first find out what Radio Band verizon use by using the GSM coverage maps in My Android Collections under Modems

My carrier is Long Lines and they run 1900.
Now Verizon shows they run both 850 and 1900, 850 if it is Verizon Alltel, 1900 if it is not. My daughter lives in Las Vegas so I am sure she is hitting 1900 there, but here in Po Dunk... it's a WAG. So that leaves me with the question, does my daughters blackberry do both at the same time and can switch back and fourth. I know the Galaxys specs say it does both.
I thought APN was for the Data side of the cell service. I expected voice to work just by putting in the right Simm. Its all in US so SMSC should already be set correctly. I suspect that they are using 850mhz here in Storm Lake Iowa. If I set the phones modem to run that frequency, what happens when she returns to las vegas and they run 1900?

Not sure why it didn't work before, but I can't hardly wait to try it again. Based on this Pic, this phone should connect to verizon in the 50588 zip code don't you think?
