[Q] LTE Network in Europe - Motorola Droid 4

Hi everybody!
I'm a noob, yes...and I'm glad to be in this forum and have a Droid 4 in Italy...
btw, I should be concise, so that is my question: I've read that D4 support LTE with 700Mhz frequency...as ICS unlock UMTS on the phone and make it global, is there any possibility to unlock LTE for the european frequency like 800Mhz / 1800Mhz?
There is a limit in hardware or there is, even small, a possibility??
Thanks

They are different frequencies, in USA LTE is 700 MHz, in Italy 800 MHZ.
In Italy LTE on D4 will not work.

There is nothing possible to do, so...it's hardware limit?

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] Question regarding LTE

Guys help me out here. Im trying to find out which LTE bands the HTC one has.
Im Interested in 900 MHz, 2600 Mhz and 800 Mhz but mostly the first two since the 800 Mhz is not finished and not online yet.
I cant seem to find any info about this. Does any one have a clue? Also link your source please since i want to be sure before i buy the phone that it works with my telecom company's LTE network
I asked in another thread but didn't get an answer at all
Thanks

Maybe because nobody has an answer.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
you just have to go to the specific websites....each one is going to be selling a different version that works with different bands....
That is because HTC loves making too many variations of the same phone, one for each network provider/market, therefore make it confusing for everyone, perfect example HTC Butterfly variants. Would make much more cost effective sense to make all in one, then a CDMA model like most other manufacturers. I am so certain that this is the case for LTE that you do not have the bands listed yet.
well testoad

From http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one/#specs:

US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz

This is new information, just added obviously.
And yes exactly what I stated, too many unnecessary variations. From what I read here, realistically they only needed two variants to cover all this EU/Asia and US, then leave it up to the network providers to lock the phones to their network as everyone else does.
that good it got 2600 mhz, my country support it !!!
yet it is coming at end of April for my country with LTE ready
Finally! The official list of LTE bands! EU version I will buy you!!!!! Haha I need that 800 baseband....
But wait... I can see that it's being broken by continents. Does that mean that a different model is being sold on each of those continents? Or are they trying to say that HTC One(only 1 model) can support the available frequencies of those listed?
I think you'll be able to buy an unlocked LTE version, but have to choose between the Asian or EU LTE radio bands. As for the US and Canada, I'm sure we'll be stuck going with a carrier branded version if we want LTE or have to settle for just 3G speeds on an unlocked version.

Will the LTE work in Canada?

Hey guys!
I want to pre order the HTC one right now, it says it has 4g LTE; but im not sure, does LTE work everywhere now (multiple radios on board) or do the frequencies differ by regions
what I want to know is ; will this:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/htc-one-32gb-silver.html
Work wit LTE in Canada (Rogers, Fido, Bell etc..)

1.) the LTE Frequencies vary from country to country...
From HTC:
EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
US (Sprint): 1900 MHz

Now comes the great news.. as far as I know Rogers uses 2600 MHz . so EU Version from the UK WILL work!
99% confident
EDIT:
Maybe this Thread can be moved to Q/A
Rogers should have the phone next Friday....given that is when the pre-order offer ends
the one that available now, only has one band that matches rogers LTE band :2600
as far as i know and read from XperiaZ forum, (c6603 XperiaZ has almost same LTE band as ONE)
no one are able to get LTE.
if you need LTE. get it from your provider.

I could assume they have the US Model then? If they have the European one, all they need is the correct apns and maybe activate LTE over Settings.. DIAL *#*#INFO#*#* and then phone information ... and see if LTE is activated

as far as i know
we tried everything possible can to test LTE
last hope wehave is flash the baseband when xperia zl came out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106818&page=40
anyhow
2600 is still not very realible (although i heard that one verison of Note2 that only got 2600 got LTE)
Alright so I guess I'll hold off. What band I'd missing exactly
So not 100%sure the uk version will work on rogers LTE??
how many version of htc one is there
i checked the htc uk n canada site
all the specs are the same
so ibm kind of confused
should i get that from uk or not
cuz its about 150$$$ different

will the bell xperia z work on Telus LTE once unlocked

Hi guys,
If i buy a bell xperia z and unlock it, would the LTE work on telus?
Thanks for any help
It should - Bell and Telus actually share towers.

This is what shows for connectivity:
Network compatibility LTE
Maximum download speed Up to 75 Mbps
LTE compatibility AWS, 700 MHz
HSPA/UMTS compatibility 850/1900/1700/1900/2100 MHz
GPRS/EDGE compatibility 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
so i guess does Telus work on was, 700 mhz?
Ah. from another thread:
Bell and Telus share LTE eNodeBs on Band 4, but not on Band 7. In terms of coverage, it should be identical since Band 4 cells are at every site, while Band 7 cells are only co-located on some of the sites. If you are using a Band 4 LTE device, there will be absolutely no difference in coverage between Bell and Telus.

So, YMMV. Also, this thread should probably be in Q&A.

YMMV == Your Mileage May Vary. Basically, give it a try.

[Q] Possibility to tweak Droid 4's LTE frequencies???

This is probably a stupid question but I'm gonna ask it anyway:
I live in Finland and been using Droid 4 with CM ROM for couple of months.
The LTE frequencies in Finland are 800, 1800 ja 2600 MHz so I cannot use Droid 4 with LTE.
Could it be possible to tweak the LTE frequencies of Droid 4 or is it set so that there's not possibility to tweak them with any kind of firmware/software?

Hi,
This is not possible unfortunately, as far as I know. The LTE connectivity is provided by a standalone baseband chip (Motorola Wrigley) and only the 700 MHz frequency is amplified. So I'm pretty sure there is no way making the other frequencies working,
