I have a supposedly "unlocked", RAZR i , however it won't work on any network other than T-Mobile. I've been told T-Mobile UK Motorola Razr I supports T-Mobile UK's network frequency of 1800 mHZ, but, Vodafone, O2 and 3 use an updated 4G network that runs on 1900 & 2100 mHZ. Is this correct and is there any way I can use the phone on the 3 network.
Thanks in advance....

Razr I should work on the following frequencies:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
The device doesn't support 4G. So if the providers can give u 2G or 3G on those freq u can use them.

Got bored and did some research...baked into the software is the bandwidths across the holiday and carriers specific phones...since we are not able to flash radios...this is becoming an issue for a lot of people....so heres what I found thought was interesting...these are controlled by the radios which for now we are not able to flash so until we are able to flash,signal issues will be a factor...

No issues, You just have to modify a few files in any SKT or AU based rom.
Battery drain though.... That is another issue & will continue until we get a solid custom Vivid based Kernel that uses Vivid voltages instead of using the Raider Voltages, which as you know, uses a different processor than the Vivid.
Rogers raiders is the same as at&t vivid. The raider in Korea runs differently. Right now we are using 1700/2100 for lte service until the 700 auction can be completed. Then we will use 700 band.

Hello all,
tl:dr version: how can I connect to TMobile data networks on my unlocked CM9 ROM captivate
I recently gave my captivate running CM9 ROM to my friend using a T-mobile SIM card.
We got the phone unlocked with the network using the code 26820526.
The phone works and everything is well except the data.
We can only connect to the Edge network
After doing a little research, I found out that TMobile runs on 900 MHz and 1700 MHz (Maybe 2100 MHz also??).
I got into the service menu and the 1700 band was not listed as an option, only
GSM 850
GSM 900
GSM 1800
GSM 1900
WCDMA 2100
WCDMA 1900
WCDMA 900
WCDMA 850
are listed.
So, my question boils down to:
How do I add some TMobile bands on here, do I need to flash a new modem? Or am i chasing something unattainable?
Just trying to get this man some faster internet than Edge network on Tmobile.
Sorry. Captivate + T-Mobile = Edge Only

Hello! I want to buy a HTC One from ebay and use it in Europe. Until now, when I bought from US, I chose either unlocked or from AT&T. Now, I'm not sure if there are any differences between US HTC One models. So, can anybody tell me if the One from Sprint would work in Europe? Ok. I've found out that the 2G bands would work after unlocking, but what about 3G and 4G? Thanks!
Check with your carrier and then compare the specs between the US and EU Ones to see which bands match up. I know in my case that Three UK would work for 3G using a DE One as Three use the 2100MHz band

Phonearena shows that 2G and 3G are the same for all models, but for 4G it shows this:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
LTE 1800 / 2600
LTE 1900 - for Sprint
LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - for AT&T
LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100 - for T-Mobile
What does this mean? Does this mean that ALL HTC One phones have LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600? Why the next line says only LTE 1800 / 2600? Also, for example Sprint have LTE 1900, but also the other ones from above? I hope you can tell me this. Thank you!
PS: I need 800/900/1800/2600.
What SIM card are you putting going to use, e.g. from what carrier (Vodafone??)? Then compare their 2/3/4G bands and then check the specs for the different Ones available and see which is best for you (which is what I said before - it's not hard to understand)

Maybe my english was not so good, but I'm not so stupid as you think. I know that I must compare their bands, but I don't know what are the specs for those phones. This is the reason why I wrote what gsmarena says about this phone. I think you didn't really read my previous post. I didn't find anywhere what are the bands for those models. I cannot explain better than in previous post.
OK, this is taken from HTCs website:
3G - UMTS/ HSPA:
Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps <--- This is the EU handset, 801n (m7_ul)
Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps <--- This is the Asian handset, 801s (m7_ul) (probably)
Canada/ Latin America: 850/1900/2100 MHz up to HSPA+ 42 Mbps <--- This is the North American GSM handset, 801n (m7_wlj or m7_wlv)
T-Mobile (US): 850/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps <--- This is the T- Mobile handset, 801n (m7_wlj or m7_wlv)
AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps <--- This is the AT&T handset, 801n (m7_wlj or m7_wlv))
Sprint: 1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 14.4 Mbps <--- This is the Sprint handset, 801c (m7_wls)
So, you check what 3G band you network uses and see which phones support it

Helloknow of any one rom for htc sprint m7 801c work with all these bands 2G Network GSM 850/900/1800/1900

Here is a datasheet on the Sprint HTC One. The operating bands are not rom dependent, it is the built in radio hardware. Check the datasheet if the bands you need are supported then it will work with any rom.
Does the d4 use both 2100 and 900mhz 3g bands (europe) ?
I'm thinking of importing one or the samsung relay 4g, but do both smartphones work at 900mhz (much stronger signial here) ?
up
Not sure about that, but I can confirm you that 3G works perfectly in Spain with this mobile
Here are the bands supported.
2G Network CDMA 800 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 13
I have a Droid 4 in UK, and I can confirm HSDPA is working, but couldn't go higher than that, probably 4G is working only on 700 MHz, which no operator has in UK: hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Europe
Hi,
I'm a huge galaxy fan since I've had the Galaxy S 4g (T959V) for over two years and it has been through hell but keeps working. I rooted it and loaded custom rom, kernel and modem so I do know a little about smart phones. Now I want to buy a new galaxy, but the s4 apparently is very fragile, so I turned to the S3. I jumped at the chance to buy a 9305 with 2 gb ram and quad core processor, but now I'm not sure that was a good idea, since I have T-Mobile and apparently their bandwidths for 3g and 4g are not compatible with i9305. Is there a way in all this rooting and flashing to change the bandwidths that the i9305 uses?
I9305 Specs:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
From TMOBILE:
T-Mobile 4G LTE
T-Mobile’s 4G LTE network uses 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies. You'll need a phone that supports LTE 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies.
T-Mobile 4G (HSPA+)
Our 4G network operates on the 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies. We use 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies to use voice and data services. You'll need a phone that supports 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz to connect to our 4G network.
Use voice and data services at the same time.
T-Mobile 3G (HSPA)
Our 3G network operates on the 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies. You'll need a phone that supports 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz to connect to our 3G network.
Use voice and data services simultaneously.
T-Mobile 2G (EDGE)
EDGE, our enhanced 2G service, delivers a theoretical maximum download speed of 236 kbps.
GPRS, our 2G service, delivers a theoretical maximum download speed of 114 kbps. Typical speeds are between 35 kbps and 45 kbps.
Voice and data services cannot work simultaneously when on GPRS or EDGE.
I'm getting a bad feeling that this phone is not going to work well with tmobile 3g/4g without some heavy modification. Any advice welcome!
The bands depend on hardware, so no you won't be able to use the international s3 late version on t mobiles late frequencies but 3g will work as both use 2100
