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,

Hi guys (and girls if any )
I am asking myself what frequencies the droid 4 (running v217) can handle in 4g (lte).
Operators are gonna activate 4g soon in france and i heard the frequencies where 800 and 2100 mhz (i think it's 800 for mine). Do you think it will work? (Or will i be like those Ithing 5 users : "wtf wtf wtf i dont have 4g lolololololololololo")
Unfortunately, if I recall correctly, it's only the 700 MHz band.
So no existing or planned LTE networks in Europe (well, at least not in my country) are going to be supported by it. This can not be fixed by a software update, it really needs different hardware, I believe I've read in a thread here somewhere.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Hi,
As the title implies, is the htc one dev phone quad band? and if not, is any htc one quad band? of course they are locked down to use certain frequencies and what not to specific carriers.
Thing Im getting at is... if it indeed does have quad band then there is room for devs to find a way for people like me to get LTE on t-mobile and not just 3G. Unfortunately, the devs phone tend to favor ATT and leaves t-mobile hanging when it comes to 4G.
Many thanks,
Tim

I have been told that when a radio is available then we could flash it. But I haven't been able to confirm this and I too want to know about this. 1700mhz band is what Tmobile uses. This really could be the difference between me getting an S4 and this phone.
I believe that the dev edition out of the box will not support 1700 for TMO but I also believe that is a software limitation and not a hardware one as I believe it is the same hardware as the at&t version.

Dev version has same frequency as AT&T version
HSPA/WCDMA:
Europe/Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE:
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
3G for Tmobile is not supported but I guess 4G is supported because it has AWS
1900 mhz is t-mobile 3G network it will have 3G but no 4G. Unless the devs get there hands on the 1700 soon.
My other question still applies from above. Is this phone indeed a quad band one?

Anyone know for a fact that a radio flash would enable 1700?
I couldn't find exact specs, but the report on ifixit (can't post link) tells that there is a Qualcomm MDM9215M Communications Chip for GSM/UMTS/LTE. The other chip TriQuint TQM7M9023 is for Quad Band usage, GSM etc.
I am trying to find out, which Frequencies this chip supports.
I want to buy the US Dev Edition 64GB for use in Europe and I am still hoping that flashing a new radio rom is a work-around to get it working everywhere.
Maybe somebody has already done it?

It's actually 7-band (700/850/900/AWS/1800/1900/2100)... but not all bands are available for all technologies. Here is what you get:
HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz - This will give you 3G support on AT&T and MAY give you 3G/4G support on T-Mobile, but only in the limited areas where T-Mobile has already migrated their 1900MHz spectrum to HSPA+. In most areas, their 3G/4G service is limited to the AWS band which the HTC One Developer Edition only supports for LTE.
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz - This will give you 2G/2.5G support on pretty much every GSM provider.
LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz - This will give you 4G LTE support on AT&T and T-Mobile.

Hi, T-mobile uses band 4 via 1700/2100. Also the 3G support. And tmobile HSPA must use 1700/2100 BOTH or it wont work which makes T-mobile 3g unavailable till 1900 is completed.
But perhaps when it says "AWS" maybe it means band 4 ? is that what your referring to? if so I stand corrected. Then again, LTE 4G is in so little places now.. lets not compute it -_-
Correct. Band 4 is AWS.
Anybody knows if i could use LTE in Spain with my Dev Edition
The One Developer Edition also includes support for 850/1900/2100 MHz HSPA and 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz 4G LTE connectivity

Hello!
Would it be possible to get the 3G-UMTS 900 MHz network on Atrix HD? My operator used 900 MHz frequency on 3G network. Atrix MB886, however, it only supports 850, 1700, 1900 and 2100 MHz. Chipset has the same as the Razr Maxx-HD, which supports the 900 frequency. What would happen if I flash his radio.img? Any idea how I could switch on 3 g network for faster data transfer?
Thanks for advice.
Atrix HD in Europe?
Have nobody in Europe this Phone? In EU is for UMTS-3G 900MHz frequency standard, as 2100Mhz too, But 900MHz has some advantages and several provider work only on 900 MHz. I know in Europe Motorola sales only RAZR HD, but Atrix HD has the same chipset as RAZR and maybe we can with Radiocomm or whit flashing radio.img or NON-HLOS.bin get RAZOR bands 850\900\1900\2100 on 3G Network?
Epinter make good ROM for both devices any maybe we can only change the right radio files, before flashing to get right bands.
Nobody try this?
I'm sorry for bumping old topic but would this work?
Maybe now someone can reply to this topic? I would love to hear answer. Maybe later I will try that. Is it safe? ;P
Thank you!

if it can be a clue or any help :
my unlocked ATT atrix HD was not able to do the Canadian LT on Bell or Telus on OEM ATT ROM.
flashed the Bell OEM JB and LTE started working here in Montreal.
+1
I would be very interesting in the 900 MHZ in 3G. I lost the network (cannot make a call) lots more often than on other phones. I think it is the reason.
