What are the bands for HSDPA "3G" on the SU660?
I read somewhere that the bands where 900/2100 so that's why I bought it, Orange DO uses the 900Mhz band frequency for 3g connectivity but I only get EDGE with 420 baseband and with latest v30c (1119 I think, the one that comes with stock ICS) I only get G... GPRS...

Hello to all. Bought a week ago TD2 released in New York to use it in Brazil, net 3G of the operator Claro. It happens here in Brazil operates in the TD2 not 3G for data transmission and is always in EDGE mode, although there is availability of the 3G network. I heard that HTC has limitations in the software radio to create niche selling to carriers, so the same hardware, with tables of frequency band, or can not work on different carriers using the same frequency of band. I ask if the exchange of software to radio TD2 can make it recognize the 3G network.
Thanks in advance

Claro uses the 850/1900 MHz band for 3G.
You've probably bought the European version of the TD2 which only supports 900/2100 MHz bands.
This is defined by hardware - you can't change it by flashing a different radio.
hi
In my D2 i hav settings for 3g 900 and 3g 2100 band!!!

Great! Mine too! Every other TD2 currently out there as well...
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.

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?

hey,
i have a GT-I9000, and i'm trying to enable 850mhz band for 3g,
i flashed the jjjv5 modem which is 850enabled,
and selected the 850 band through *#2263#*, the second i select 850 i get no signal, does that mean my phone isn't 850mhz capable or does it mean there is no 850mhz reception in my area ?
galaxy s suports all bands
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100
so you dont have 850 band in your area.
perhaps i was not clear - i'm trying to connect to 850mhz WCDMA band, not GPRS/GSM.
where do you live ? do you have the international i9000?
i live in israel, where we have a 850mhz/2100mhz 3g carrier (Pelephone)
the phone was purchased privately, not from the carrier.
i'm not quite sure about the phone version, the box states UMTS bands as 2100,1900,900.
the writing on the box and every document about the phone states GT-I9000.
does that mean that 850 3g band is not possible for me ?
i9000 doesnt support israel's 850 3g band, you can use 2100 instead which is suported by both ,phone and carrier

I'm also having a similar problem. im in Honduras with Tigo paid for 3g but only connecting to edge, i have the gingerbread xwjw5 build. I have a unlocked gt-i9000
only if you have the I9000T you can use the 850 band

Yo folks. I am finally flying back to Toronto tomorrow after having been here in Italy for the past 4 years, and I am so pumped up ...
Anyways, I have got an Italian Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with 1900/2100 UMTS bands and the current baseband firmware is I9000XXJVU.
I was wondering if by flashing a Canadian baseband version my SGS perhaps would might give me 3G with Telus or Fido in Canada.
Is that something that could be done via sw or is rather something hardware involved??
Thanks
Do not flash a canadian baseband. There is no way to enable the 850 MHz band in your hardware.
However, in Toronto you will be able to get by by using only the 1900 MHz band. 850 MHz is mostly usefull for rural areas and/or basements.
So to answer your question, yes, it will work.
With Rogers/Fido, you will fall back to EDGE if you are out of the 1900 MHz UMTS coverage.
With Telus/Bell you fill loose signal if you are out of the 1900 MHz UMTS coverage.

Cool mate.. didn't know some Canadians mobile ISP uses 1900mhz band for 3G.. I am going to get a find number today ..
Thanks
Hi looking to purchase the HTC ONE International Version M7 and want to use it in South Korea and wondering if it will work? Either 3g or 4g LTE
Here is the bands for the International Version
Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) WCDMA (UMTS)/HSPA 850/900/1900/2100
And the bands available to be as im on SK Telecom
850mhz lte
1800mhz lte
2100 UMTS/HSPA
I'm guessing that the 1800 and 2100 mhz bands overlap I should probably have both access to 3g and 4g lte?
Thanks so much guys!
850Mhz is SKT's main frequency and 1800Mhz is their secondary frequency which is so-called 'multi-carrier.' Even if that multi-carrier frequency overlaps the HSDPA frequency in One's spec, SK Telecom's HSDPA signal only comes from 2100Mhz band, and you don't have to worry. However, I have to warn you - If you buy 801s model, you can use LTE in those 'multi-carrier' zones that are smaller than its main band area. Even if multi-carrier zone is being expanded, SKT's main band is the only band provided in majority of areas.
